After the butler saw Ye Tong’s appearance, there was a trace of incomprehension in his eyes. He looked at Ye Tong and said with a smile, “Young Madam, what’s wrong with you?”

Ye Tong looked at the table full of delicacies in front of her in shock.

Then, she looked at the butler and said in surprise, “These… These are all for me?”

Hearing this, the butler nodded indifferently and said, “That’s right. These are the breakfast we specially prepared for you.”

“But… but this seems to be too much. I can’t finish it all by myself.”

Ye Tong frowned at the table full of food. Her appetite was not so big.

“It doesn’t matter, Young Madam. If you can’t finish it, then don’t finish eating them all,” the butler said lightly as if he didn’t care about these delicacies at all.

Ye Tong waved her hand and said, “That won’t do. It’s such a waste.”

When she was in the Ye family, Ye Tong was often bullied by Ye Yuechang and Yan Haihan. Sometimes, she even didn’t have any food to eat, especially when Ye Qingcang was on a business trip.

Therefore, Ye Tong had formed a good habit of not wasting food. Now that Ye Tong knew that these were prepared for her, if she could not finish them, they might just throw them away. Ye Tong was worried that she would be punished by the heavens.

Therefore, Ye Tong looked at the butler and said, “Have you eaten?”

“We can go to the kitchen to eat later. Young Madam, you don’t have to worry about us.”

After the butler finished speaking, Ye Tong smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, you guys can sit down and eat with me. Anyway, I can’t finish eating by myself. It would be a waste to throw it away like this.”

“Absolutely not!”

When the butler heard that, a trace of fear appeared on his face. He looked at Ye Tong and repeatedly waved his hand and said, “We are servants, and you are the master. Since ancient times, there has never been a servant eating with the master at the same table.”

“Aiya, it doesn’t matter. You guys don’t have to treat me as a master. Just treat me as your family. Sit down and eat together,” Ye Tong said indifferently.

Ye Tong’s reaction really surprised the servants and the butler. After all, they did not expect Ye Tong to say such a thing.

It even seemed like she really thought so sincerely. This made their hearts warm. But even so, the butler and the others were still unwilling to eat together with Ye Tong.

In the end, Ye Tong was helpless and could only say, “It’s only this one time. It’s alright, right? The main thing is the breakfast that you guys prepared this time is really too much. I can’t finish it at all.”

“Furthermore, you guys should have spent quite a lot of effort to prepare all this. How can you just throw it away? If you guys don’t sit down and eat with me, I won’t eat either. You guys can do as you see fit.”

Seeing that Ye Tong had said so, the butler and the rest finally agreed to eat together. However, they also said that it was only this once and it wouldn’t happen again.

Ye Tong nodded. During the meal, she told them, “Actually, if I’m the only one eating at home in the future, there’s no need to prepare so much. Just casually prepare some. I can’t eat so much, and there’s no need to eat so luxuriously.”

Ye Tong’s actions undoubtedly left a very good impression on the butler and servants present.

Ye Tong did not mind this, because these were indeed Ye Tong’s true thoughts.

After eating, Ye Tong’s phone suddenly vibrated, as if she had received some messages.

Ye Tong picked up the phone, took a look, and a smile appeared on her face.
