“Oh, okay, Uncle Zeta!” Ye Ye gave him a playful smile and briskly headed to the dining room. In the Baroque-style dining room, at the long marble table, Dean sat at the head, with Simon Xu and Jones seated beside each other, both focused on their laptops, occasionally typing. Seeing Ye Ye approach, looking fresh, Dean’s eyes showed approval, and Simon Xu even whistled at her. Ye Ye sat down next to Dean, “Dean, can we eat now? I’m starving!” she said coyly.
Simon Xu raised an eyebrow, “Dean?” His handsome face was full of questions as he looked at Dean. This title was reserved for their four main assistants and Dean’s great-grandmother, yet this beautiful elf was now using it so sweetly, and Dean seemed to accept it naturally!
Dean glared at Simon Xu, “Do you have a problem?”
“Not at all!” Simon Xu chuckled and then turned to Ye Ye, “Have we met before, miss? Do you remember me?”
Ye Ye glanced at Simon Xu, “Of course, at ET, you helped me out.” Thinking back, it must have been Dean’s instructions; it seemed Dean had been looking out for her. Ye Ye gazed at Dean’s handsome face with a silly smile.
“Yes, let me formally introduce myself. I’m Simon Xu, and this is Jones, Dean’s personal assistant.” He also patted the somewhat stiff Jones.
Jones gave a polite smile. Ye Ye nodded, “Nice to meet you! I’m Ye Ye!” [From Passion to Burning Passion: Fifty, Learning to Behave 2]
The servants brought in lunch. The three men closed their laptops and started eating. Dean frowned as he watched Ye Ye only eating salad and steak, leaving all the other vegetables and meats untouched, neatly picking them to the side, and said, “Ye Ye, don’t be picky!”
Ye Ye pouted, “I don’t like pork, and I hate bell peppers!”
Simon Xu and Jones exchanged amused glances. When had their great duke ever cared about a woman’s diet? It seemed this little woman was special to Dean, or else he would never break his principles to let her stay in his room…
“You’re already skinny like a skeleton, and you’re still being picky?” Dean said, displeased.
