Na Na's gaze was elusive, and she stammered, "The pastry was from Xiao Chang in the kitchen, he... he probably likes me, which is why he gave it to me."
It was as if she had found a breakthrough and she began to explain, "Miss, I really don't like Xiao Chang. I just want to work well at the Tao family's place, but Xiao Chang harasses me daily and often sends me gifts, which I usually refuse. But today, he gave me pastries, so I accepted them."
After she finished speaking, she mentally gave herself a "like," because she thought she had spoken perfectly and that Miss would definitely believe her.
Moreover, Xiao Chang was indeed sending her gifts. She had already made it clear to him that it was impossible between them, but Xiao Chang wouldn't believe it; he thought it completely reasonable for a maid and a cook to be together. Na Na aimed to marry a wealthy man, so there was no way she could end up with a mere cook.
