"Uncle Qi, it's been a long time," he nodded as he said politely with the air of greeting an elder and not a subordinate .
Uncle Qi had been the Mu's butler for decades and had watched Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie grow up together .
Upon noticing the sleeping driver in the limousine, Uncle Qi frowned involuntarily . Looking at Yin Shaojie worriedly, he asked, "Young Master Yin, when did you arrive? Why didn't you call to inform us? You didn't have to wait outside like that . "
Yin Shaojie smiled . "It's alright; I deserve it . "
What was a mere night of waiting if he could see Mu Xiaoxiao at the end of it?
If a few sleepless nights could make Xiaoxiao forgive him and return home with him, he would do it .
Uncle Qi was puzzled, but having had experienced a similar thing before and connecting the dots between the Miss coming back to America suddenly with teary swollen eyes, he got a good grasp of the situation .
"Young Master Yin, you should come in to wait . The Miss is not awake yet right now . " Uncle Qi gestured welcomingly .
Yin Shaojie nodded . "Thank you, Uncle Qi . "
He had imagined the door being shut in his face, being given a hard time, and barring him from entering the house as the worst case scenario . He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, and the weight in his heart lifted .
He would pull out all the stops to pacify and coddle Xiaoxiao just to get to see her .
Ignoring his driver, Yin Shaojie let him continue sleeping in the car and followed the butler in .
As the sky brightened, some domestic helpers could be seen trimming the garden and watering the plants .
Yin Shaojie entered the house .
Uncle Qi turned back and asked, "Young Master Yin, should I arrange a room for you to take a nap? The Miss came back very late last night and will probably be waking up late today .
Yin Shaojie shook his head . "No, it's okay . I'll wait for her in the living room . "
"Alright . How about some breakfast? You must be hungry," Uncle Qi asked thoughtfully .
Yin Shaojie was indeed hungry . He had no room for food in his mind on the plane and absolutely no appetite then, for he had been entirely preoccupied with imagining how sad Xiaoxiao's expression had been .
Additionally, he had arrived at the Mu's really late and had stood outside their house without any rest for an entire night . It was hard not to be hungry .
However, Yin Shaojie thought for a while before saying, "It's alright . I'll wait for Xiaoxiao to eat together . "
"As you wish . "
As a butler, Uncle Qi had many duties to attend to . After helping him to settle down, he left .
If he was any other guest, he wouldn't have left him alone like this or let him in without informing Mu Zhengbai .
This was a treatment only afforded to Yin Shaojie .
A domestic helper poured Yin Shaojie a glass of water immediately after he sat down .
Even though it was still early, the domestic helpers were already doing their chores in a flurry of activity around him . There were some female domestic helpers who hid in a corner and occasionally watched Yin Shaojie surreptitiously .
The domestic helpers were a mix of Asians and Westerners, but no matter their race, they couldn't help but cast continuous glances at Yin Shaojie, who had an uncommon handsomeness and noble countenance . It would be such a shame to not do so while they could .
Of course, these domestic helpers had seen their fair share of handsome men .
After all, in an elite household such as the Mu's, they received wealthy people often, and they were treated to numerous sights of handsome men and gorgeous ladies .
However, a heavenly handsomeness like Yin Shaojie's was extremely rare .
