The Villain Doesn’t Want To Date the Cute Heroine - Chapter 97



97 The Cooks Are Also Anxious

“Eh? We don’t need to prepare dinner for the young master anymore?”

The chefs, donning white hats, looked at each other in confusion, wondering what had happened, why they were suddenly not needed to prepare dinner.

Was there something wrong with their cooking, or did the dishes not suit the young master’s taste?

Could it be that they were about to be unemployed, was the young master planning to lay them off?

“Um, Miss Yao Shi, did the young master say there was something wrong with our cooking? We can change.”

“We truly put our hearts into preparing different varieties every day for the young master, in hopes that he can taste the diverse cuisines from around the world.”

The head chef approached Yao Shi and Milenty, the two maids, speaking anxiously.

The entire kitchen staff had been constantly thinking of new dishes to ensure the young master’s meals were never repetitive.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all the result of their considerable effort and time spent cooking.

They had studied the fine foods from countries around the world and tried to present them to the young master with as much authenticity as possible.

Each dish was personally finished by him, and logically, there should be no possibility of any oversight.

Whether it’s the color of the dish or its seasoning, he took care of it all. Which step in the process could have possibly dissatisfied the young master?

“You all can rest for today; Milent and I will take over from here.”

“The young master isn’t dissatisfied; he simply ordered you to rest.”

Yao Shi spoke indifferently, surveying the kitchen’s array of spices and the assortment of pots and pans.

So this is where the chefs work, with an entertainment hall and a sofa lounge in the front for their use.

And this workroom is also tidy, the working environment is up to par, it’s evident that the chefs are treated very well here.

“We… rest…”

“What exactly did we do wrong…”

The head chef murmured, pale-faced, wondering what he had done wrong.

Hadn’t the young master just recently praised their excellent culinary skills, saying the taste of the food was very much to his liking?

Why then, all of a sudden, were they being asked to leave the kitchen? What part of the process had gone wrong?

Could it be that this morning’s breakfast had displeased the young master, and in a fit of pique, he decided to dismiss them all?

“Boss…”

The other chefs also looked uneasy, their faces filled with worry.

They had been working for the Wu family for a full ten years now, and everyone here could say they watched young master Wu Liang grow up.

In a sense, young master Wu Liang was like their child, each dish carrying everyone’s care and affection for him.

So it had come to this in the end? Had young master Wu Liang stopped liking the dishes they prepared?

“We… don’t want to just leave like this…”

“Did the young master say why he’s letting us go…”

A woman who appeared to be in her fifties stepped forward slowly, her somewhat aged face showing deep regret.

She wasn’t staying here for the considerable income, but over the decades, she had developed a unique affection for the Wu family.

This feeling, like being at one’s own home, isn’t something that can be felt just anywhere.

Especially seeing the smile on young master Wu Liang’s face as he ate the dishes they made, it brought great comfort to them all.

To be recognized by young master Wu Liang, to be praised by the young master they watched grow up, they were truly proud from the bottom of their hearts.

But now, young master Wu Liang was about to abandon them, did this mean their standards could no longer satisfy the young master…

“Hey! I say, head chef, where has your mind wandered off to? It’s not what you think.”

“Yao Shi, you too, can’t you speak a bit more clearly? You’ve made them misunderstand the young master’s intentions.”

Milent held his forehead and walked over to Yao Shi, sighing deeply.

Yao Shi’s words weren’t wrong, but such statements were indeed too prone to misunderstanding.

“Hmm? What does this mean?”

The head chef and the other chefs behind him were slightly taken aback. Could it be that the young master didn’t intend to dismiss them?

Miss Milenty didn’t seem as serious as Miss Yao Shi.

“Head Chef, you’ve misunderstood. The young master indeed wants you to take a break, but it’s only for this afternoon.”

“Because Miss Yao Shi and I made a mistake, the young master is punishing us by having us prepare dinner for him.”

Milenty said with a smile, hooking her arm around Yao Shi’s neck.

It was just an afternoon off for the chefs; the young master had no other intentions.

“The young master means that Miss Milenty and I have made a mistake.”

From noble mtl dot come

“So, we two will be preparing tonight’s dinner, and all of you can leave work now.”

Yao Shi disdainfully brushed off Milenty’s arm from her shoulder.

“Ah! So that’s it! You really gave me a scare.”

The head chef let out a sigh of relief after hearing Milenty’s explanation.

So the young master wanted to give them a holiday; he thought something serious had happened.

Seeing how scared they all were, Miss Yao Shi’s few words almost stopped his heart.

“I thought the dishes we made had displeased the young master.”

“Oh my, that scared me to death, really, my poor little heart.”

The other chefs also felt a sense of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.

It turned out they were all making a fuss over nothing; they thought something had happened.

“So, we’ll be borrowing the kitchen for a bit, and you all can relax this afternoon.”

Milenty poked Yao Shi’s slender waist with a slight smile, knowing it was up to the two of them now.

But to be honest, she didn’t quite trust Yao Shi.

She knew from before that Yao Shi was a complete novice.

Not to mention cooking, she feared Yao Shi hadn’t even boiled water before, and whether she could use fire was a matter worth considering.

She felt that this afternoon’s learning process was going to be very tough.

“Alright, then we’ll leave work early. If you have any questions, Miss Milenty, feel free to ask me anytime.”

The head chef showed a smile, realizing that the young master wanted to punish Yao Shi and Milenty by having them cook.

But then again, Miss Yao Shi and Miss Milenty, could they really cook……
