Chapter 101



101 Contract

The beef pies were cooked slowly in a pan with hot oil.

When the skin was fried until both sides were golden, it could be cooked with sesame seeds.

The rich aroma hit her.

Dang Gui swallowed hard. “Can I eat now?”

Yu Niaoniao picked up two beef pies with her chopsticks, put them in her bowl, and pushed them toward her.

“Eat.”

Dang Gui was overjoyed and started eating.

Yu Niaoniao placed the remaining beef pies on the plate and eagerly ran to look for Duke Lang.

She placed the beef patty in front of the Duke Lang and looked at him expectantly.

“Try it. This is my beef pie.”

Xiao Juan actually did not have much of an appetite, but he did not want to ruin Yu Niaoniao’s mood, so he picked up a piece of beef pie, put it in his mouth, and took a gentle bite.

The thin crispy skin was bitten through, and the meat filling overflowed.

It was a little hot, but it smelled good.

The beef itself was very rich in flavor. Coupled with the refreshing cabbage, it was rich, fragrant, and delicious. It could be said to be just right.

He gave a fair assessment.

“It’s delicious.”

Yu Niaoniao immediately smiled. “Isn’t that so? The beef pies I make are no worse than the ones sold outside. In the future, if you want to eat beef pie, let me make them for you. You don’t have to go out and suffer grievances!”

Xiao Juan actually did not care what others thought of him.

He was used to it anyway.

He was even prepared to spend the rest of his life alone.

But at this moment, someone would be angry that he could not be treated fairly. She would personally cook for him in order to let him get the same thing as others.

She was doing her best to protect him.

Although the method was clumsy, it was exceptionally cute. Xiao Juan’s heart softened uncontrollably. The other party’s intentions were too precious for him to waste a trace of them.

So much so that he, who did not usually eat dinner, actually ate three beef pies in a row.

When he was about to eat the fourth one, Yu Niaoniao quickly put down her chopsticks and reached out to stop him.

“Don’t eat too much at night, in case you get indigestion.”

Xiao Juan had no choice but to put down his chopsticks, but his eyes were still on the remaining beef pancakes on the plate.

She did not expect him to love beef pies so much. Yu Niaoniao silently noted this down.

She put the rest of the beef pie into the food box and said.

“Put these away for now. We’ll eat them tomorrow when they’re hot.”

Granny Xiu Yan took the beef cake down and ordered someone to bring soup that helped with digestion.

Yu Niaoniao asked as she drank her soup.

“Did you see what I left on your desk today?”

Xiao Juan nodded. “Yes, I saw it.”

Today, Yu Niaoniao had left behind a total of two pieces of paper. They were a list and a contract.

He pulled the contract from his sleeve and placed it in front of her.

“Why did you write this?”

This was a contract of employment. The content was very simple. Yu Niaoniao had been hired by Duke Lang. The employment period was temporarily set at one year. During this period, Yu Niaoniao could freely enter and leave the Justice Department and complete the work handed down by Duke Lang on time. Duke Lang had to give her corresponding remuneration according to the agreement.

At the end of the contract, it was emphasized that while Yu Niaoniao was employed, Duke Lang had an obligation to ensure her personal safety and freedom.

Yu Niaoniao explained seriously.

“We’re engaged but as the saying goes, even biological brothers had to settle scores. Let’s write down all the clauses in black and white to protect our interests. It won’t hurt you or me.”
