The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!-Chapter 904: I Want to Fire Her

At this moment, Sophie came in with a bowl of soup, smiling as she approached Yan Sijue: "Sir, I specially made this soup for you. It’s very nourishing. Would you like to try some?"

Yan Sijue glanced at her nonchalantly, without saying a word. But to him, that look was a silent consent.

Sophie’s face lit up with a sweet, surprised smile. She placed the clay pot of soup in front of Yan Sijue, but without paying attention, the pot wobbled slightly as she set it down, spilling a few drops of steaming soup on her fair hand!

She cried out, and even though the burn was on her hand, she seemed unable to stand steady and fell into Yan Sijue’s arms!

"Oh!" She scrambled to stand up, her face bright red, "Sorry, sir, I didn’t mean to!"

Though she said so, her scalded red hand hung in front of her, as if deliberately for Yan Sijue to notice.

And in fact, Yan Sijue did notice.

He frowned slightly, "Ask Ada to get you some ointment for burns."

"Okay." She replied shyly, her face flushed as she left, pausing to glance at Mu Yiliang on her way out. Whatever she saw, it seemed to startle her into quickening her pace.

Mu Yiliang was already seething with anger!

She took a deep breath, seeing Yan Sijue across the table opening the lid of the clay pot soup, and said sternly, "Don’t drink it!"

The man paused his motion, looked up at her, his gaze inscrutable.

Nonetheless, he picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful, and sent it into his mouth.

Mu Yiliang forcefully threw her knife and fork onto the plate, producing a sharp, clattering sound!

She stood up, her face flushed with anger: "Yan Sijue, I forbid you to drink it! This maid has ulterior motives. I want to fire her!"

Yan Sijue chuckled softly, his voice carrying a hint of mockery: "I actually think she put her heart into it. The soup tastes good." With that, he turned his head towards Ada who was waiting for instructions on the side, "Go check on her burn."

Ada responded promptly and quickly walked away.

Mu Yiliang’s face turned pale: "Is this your punishment? Yan Sijue, do you think this is funny?"

"Punishment?" His smile turned colder, "That’s too lenient on you."

Mu Yiliang’s heart ached, tears starting to well up in her eyes: "But for me, this is the most cruel punishment!"

His face darkened, looking at her on the verge of tears, he smirked coldly, tossed the napkin aside, and turned to leave the dining room.

Mu Yiliang’s lips moved silently, ultimately only able to sink back powerlessly into her seat.

The position opposite her, that clay pot was still unbearably conspicuous, even though Yan Sijue only took one sip, it was enough to fuel her anger.

"Throw that thing away." She ordered through gritted teeth.

The servant immediately stepped forward and took away the clay pot of soup. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Mu Yiliang closed her eyes for a moment, a bitter smile on her lips. She thought she still had a chance to make amends, but who would have thought Yan Sijue would act like this.

When he acts childishly, he’s always like this. Previously, he would use Chen Yayan to pressure her, and now he’s using a maid to provoke her.

It seems her misunderstanding last time really inflicted a significant hurt on him.

Mu Yiliang clenched her fist.

But even so, she absolutely could not tolerate Sophie causing trouble under her nose.

Before long, Ada returned, probably wanting to report on Sophie’s condition to Yan Sijue, but seeing that Yan Sijue wasn’t there, she wisely avoided approaching Mu Yiliang.

Mu Yiliang, however, waved her over.
