"Where are Aunt Mo and Aunt Wang?" Hirvan asked, his brow furrowing slightly.
"They are on leave, young master."
"Oh, I thought I could see them…"

The thought of tackling the task solo made his shoulder slump briefly but quickly put aside his laziness. Hirvan rolled up his sleeves and began to gather the ingredients. Fortunately, in the Ashford mansion's kitchen, the cabinets and fridge were fully stocked, making his process smother.
