Since it was still early and more than two hours before Yan had lunch, Zhu Qianying dawdled about in the kitchen. She would rather stay in the kitchen than go out and run into Yan.
In the meantime, Uncle Hai came in a few times, seemingly wanting to say something, but each time, he stopped before the words could leave his mouth.
Zhu Qianying couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Hai, what's the matter?"
Uncle Hai hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "The Young Master is on the terrace, reading and drinking tea. He asked me to check if there are any snacks suitable for tea time in the kitchen."
Zhu Qianying immediately understood that Yan's exact words must have been for Uncle Hai to come and ask her to prepare some tea-time snacks for him. Otherwise, according to Uncle Hai, he would have directly asked the chef, rather than struggling several times before finally speaking to her.
