During lunch, Qi Qingyao and Si Jin accompanied the children as they started their meal. Only then did Lu Yan appear. He stood at the entrance, looking into the dining hall somewhat furtively but not coming in.

It was Xiaobao who noticed Lu Yan and pulled at the corners of Qi Qingyao’s clothes. Qi Qingyao followed Xiaobao’s line of sight and looked over and was stunned by Lu Yan’s furtive behavior. “What are you standing around so sneakily for?”

Lu Yan turned around and left after hearing her say this.

Qi Qingyao thought of something and hurriedly put down her chopsticks, rushing out the door. She blocked Lu Yan who was trying to return to his courtyard.

Under the evening glow.

Qi Qingyao pointed at Lu Yan’s nose. Immensely bewildered, she said, “Didn’t you want me to be your maidservant? I already agreed to it, so what else do you want?”

Lu Yan was stunned. Pretending to look like a noble young master, he held his chin high, looked at her past his nose, and said, “Is your current attitude fitting of a maid?”

“...”

Qi Qingyao cursed the bastard more than a dozen times in her heart, then bowed. Putting on a smiley, brown-nosing appearance, she said, “Master, please come in for a meal.”

“...” Lu Yan side-eyed her.

Then, he took the lead and walked toward the dining hall.

Dabao and Xiaobao saw Qi Qingyao’s actions and were shocked. The two locked eyes. Dabao quietly said to Xiaobao, “Has Mommy gone crazy?”

Qi Qingyao just so happened to hear this as she came in.

After taking a seat, she gathered the two kids.

Softly, she whispered to them.

“You two little rascals.”

Erniu could not help but crane her head and look over.

Qi Qingyao said to the three little naughty kids seriously, “Little Yan wants to buy something super expensive for Mommy, but there is no free lunch in this world. So Mommy has to pay a price by taking care of him for a month.”

Dabao said incredulously, “Take care of Uncle Lu?” There were so many servants in the house, why did he need Mommy? It was really strange.

Erniu said in a confused, childish voice, “Does Uncle Lu really need a servant?”

Xiaobao, on the other hand, was rubbing his chin solemnly as he muttered, “Is Uncle Lu someone who is lacking servants?”

Qi Qingyao shrugged helplessly and said, “It may be a strange hobby that the rich have.”

Lu Yan spoke as he picked up his chopsticks, “Who are you talking about? Who has strange hobbies?”

Qi Qingyao felt a chill run down her neck. She pursed her lips and said earnestly to the little guys, “Children, when you grow up, you have to work hard to earn money and support your old mother!”

“Mommy, we will definitely study hard and take care of you when we’re older,” said Dabao solemnly.

Qi Qingyao smiled and caressed Dabao’s head. “Good boy.”

Then, she motioned for the three kids to continue eating.

Qi Qingyao got up and said to Lu Yan with mock innocence, “Master, am I allowed to dine at the same table?”

Lu Yan almost blurted out, “Of course,” but at the critical moment, he abruptly tracked back and replied pretentiously, “You have to refer to yourself as a servant, only then would it be proper.”

“Can this servant have dinner at the same table?” Qi Qingyao smiled very cutely.

Lu Yan coughed lightly and said calmly, “In theory, it is not allowed, but considering your lovely appearance, I give you permission to eat at the same table.”

“Thank you, Master.” Qi Qingyao continued the act of a brown-nosed maid.

She sat down obediently and went back to her meal.

Si Jin was in disbelief at how Qi Qingyao was going with the flow of playing the role of a servant. “....”
