If Ye Zao had outright refused or spoken some high-minded truths, Fourth Master would certainly have been displeased and would absolutely have turned around and left.
But she didn't.
Instead, she had to first express how much she liked it, how much she wanted it, how beautiful it was, before saying that her status was too low and fearing she wouldn't dare accept it.
Fourth Master then felt that the maid was truly adorable.
(So innocent, so unpretentious, unlike the gaudy and cheap women on the outside!)
"Come here," Fourth Master reached out.
Ye Zao hesitated for a moment, then took Fourth Master's hand and sat in his lap, "Master..."
"Keep it, if there's anything better in the future, Master will give it to you," Fourth Master said.
Ye Zao nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Master, it's really beautiful."
Fourth Master grunted in acknowledgment, "Where is your dog?"
