Zheng Hao's face was a picture of confusion as he asked her, "What favor are you asking for?" "Weren't you the one who helped me talk to the butler and got me two new uniforms made?" Xia Yihan's repeated question still left Zheng Hao baffled. He was an honest man and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "I don't understand what you're talking about, but I didn't say anything to my uncle. You must be mistaken." Xia Yihan felt that he wasn't lying and couldn't help but ponder, then who could it be? Apart from him, who could influence the butler's thoughts... Could it be someone with the surname Ye? Impossible, someone with the surname Ye wouldn't show such great mercy. If he had even a bit of kindness, he wouldn't just watch Fang Lina hit her and not say a word. She smiled at Zheng Hao and said softly, "Then I should also thank you. You helped me a lot by getting me the needle and thread." Her smile made Zheng Hao's face suddenly turn red, and he couldn't look at her directly anymore. He chuckled and said it was okay, took the initiative to say goodbye to her, and stared at her retreating figure for a while, as if he had made up his mind to go find the butler. Zheng Hao pulled the butler aside from the many maids and called out softly, "Uncle!" Zhao Tianai, whose hearing was exceptionally sensitive, couldn't help but glance at him a few more times upon hearing his address. "Uncle, I want to discuss something with you." "Say it." "Can we, the security guards, staff, and maids, eat together in the future?" His voice lowered again. "Why?" "I..." Before Zheng Hao could speak, his face turned red, a reaction that the butler could easily interpret. "Have you taken a fancy to someone?"

The butler asked with no small amount of excitement, as his sister had entrusted him to find a wife for Zheng Hao. It was just that he seemed a bit slow-witted; the fact that he had shown such an inclination today naturally delighted him, his voice unconsciously raising a notch. 'Uncle, keep your voice down,' he said. 'We haven't even started, and I don't want to talk about it. Just agree to my proposal, give me some opportunities, and I'll definitely tell you once there's progress.' Zhao Tianai, while wiping the dining table, overheard most of their conversation. She glanced at her reflection in the tabletop, wondering if the person Zheng Hao liked could possibly be her. Although she wouldn't give a servant a second glance, it wasn't a bad thing to have someone admiring her. 'You go back first!' the butler said sternly. After Xia Yihan changed into her dress and returned, the butler's excitement hadn't subsided, and he didn't make things overly difficult for her again. During lunchtime, he chose two security guards to be on duty, and all the other staff were arranged to eat with the maids. Zhao Tianai thought to herself that it seemed Zheng Hao had a lot of influence over the butler, and the butler had influence over their rankings. If she could flirt with him... She sneaked a glance at Zheng Hao, feeling as if he might be looking her way too, so she picked up her bowl of rice and walked towards him, swaying her hips. However, to her surprise, when he saw her seat was empty, Zheng Hao came around from the other side and sat down in her original spot. As soon as Zheng Hao took his seat, he asked Xia Yihan, 'Are you still getting used to the food at our Ye residence?' Xia Yihan smiled and nodded, saying, 'I'm very accustomed to it.'

Zheng Hao deliberately took an extra pair of chopsticks and picked some bitter melon with shredded pork for Xia Yihan, eagerly explaining, 'Bitter melon is good for cooling down, I've loved it since I was a kid. It's been hot these days, you should eat more of it.' Zhao Tianai walked forward awkwardly and woodenly, feeling as if someone had slapped her face. She hated the sight of Xia Yihan's smile, cursing her a thousand times in her heart as a cheap tramp.
