Ah-Zhong's expression froze. "Little Young Master… I'm truly begging you… Just what do I need to do to make you help me? I will go buy more snacks and toys for you, alright?"

Tangtang mulled it over before replying, "If you want me to help you, I can. But I have a request!"

Ah-Zhong turned joyous. "What request? I'll agree to it regardless of what it is!"

Tangtang nonchalantly said, "Alright, then say my grandma is a beautiful and kind-hearted celestial maiden 100 times!"

"…" Ah-Zhong was utterly dumbfounded.

What the heck?

Is this little brat serious?

I-Isn't that too embarra.s.sing?!

"You won't say it? Then I'll leave! Don't disturb me from picking flowers for Grandma!" Tangtang turned to leave when Ah-Zhong failed to speak for ages.

Ah-Zhong panicked. "No no no, I'll say it! I'll say it right now! Madam is… is a celestial maiden…"

"You missed something! You can't miss a single word," Tangtang said.

Ah-Zhong was miserable. Although he was talented in boot-licking, he'd never had to say such humiliating things before.

"Madam… Madam is a beautiful and kind-hearted celestial maiden… Madam is a beautiful and kind-hearted celestial maiden… Madam is…"

Tangtang started to leisurely walk ahead to continue picking flowers for Yin Yuerong while Ah-Zhong gritted his teeth and trailed behind like a lackey, forced to repeat the words Tangtang demanded in an endless loop.

Forget it, I'll endure it! After today, it'll be my world!

Little brat, just wait!

When Ah-Zhong finally finished, Tangtang also chose an especially pretty plum flower to pluck.

"Little Young Master, you'll agree to help me now, right?" Ah-Zhong wiped his sweat.

"Bring it over!" Tangtang was brisk this time.

Ah-Zhong excitedly handed the item over. "Little Young Master, you must remember! Avoid others and secretly put it inside!"

"I know! So naggy… do you think I'm a fool?"

Ah-Zhong chortled inwardly, thinking: I managed to get you to do what I wanted with a few words, brat. You *are* a fool!

However, Ah-Zhong probably forgot that he didn't use "just a few words"…

Tangtang accepted the item and asked, "Do I put it inside the drawer?"

Ah-Zhong quickly answered, "The last drawer in the left cabinet!"

Yin Yuerong didn't use that spot often, so she wouldn't discover it for now.

"Got it," Tangtang said.

…

Ah-Zhong was naturally worried, so he followed Tangtang the entire way there and watched Tangtang enter the study and visually confirmed he took the box inside.

A moment later, Tangtang came out and the item was gone from his hands.

After making sure Tangtang took the item inside, Ah-Zhong followed Yin Heng's plan immediately and anonymously reported Yin Yuerong.

When Ah-Zhong finished, he released a long sigh of relief. He finally completed his mission and just needed to watch the good show coming up.

After today, he would partially become the Yin family's master and wouldn't need to act like a dog under Yin Yuerong and live every day in fear! He wouldn't have to take anything from a little brat anymore either!

The weather was nice today, the winter sun casting its warm rays on the earth. After picking his plum flowers, Tangtang dragged Yin Yuerong to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

Two lounge chairs—one big and one small—were placed in the courtyard and the duo comfortably lay on top of them. They didn't do anything and merely quietly basked in the sun with some chatter exchanged here and there.
