If I Have Committed a Crime, the Law Should Punish Me, Rather Than Making the Female Lead Serve Me as a Maid

It was Jiang Anran!

Jiang Anran stood there, a trace of shyness and unease on her face.

She bit her lower lip gently, as if cheering and psyching herself up, and finally mustered the courage to speak. "Starting today, I am Young Master Fei's maid, and from now on I'll be responsible for taking care of your daily life and routines, Young Master." With that, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Fei Yangyao again.

"Ah?!"

"What's the situation?"

"What happened?"

"Jiang Anran? Why are you here!"

Young Master Fei felt baffled by this turn of events; how did the female lead run over here?

"Because Young Master Fei is hospitalized, Uncle Fu told me to come here and take care of you."

"Oh, is that so... Wait, no, that's not it, when did you become a maid for the Fei Family?"

"Last night. Uncle Fu said there was a job here, so I quit my previous job and applied." Jiang Anran answered truthfully.

"Uncle Fu?"

Young Master Fei vaguely felt that the key person was Uncle Fu, and too busy to deal with her, he made a call to Uncle Fu to understand the situation.

After listening to Uncle Fu's report, Young Master Fei finally understood.

It turned out that Uncle Fu over-imagined things, thinking the house was cold and quiet and that he lacked someone to keep him company.

So he hired a maid, and since he was also hospitalized when he was hospitalized and had no way to take care of the young master, hiring a maid made it convenient to help take care of him too.

Jiang Anran could also improve her diet, make up for her nutrition, and change her clothes.

It was a great thing for everyone.

After listening, Young Master Fei was speechless.

A great thing for everyone?

That wasn't right. Following the plot step-by-step was the only thing that was good for him, and nothing else was. He didn't need this good thing at all.

As for Jiang Anran?

Finding a good job with a higher salary?

Jiang Anran didn't need that at all. If she hadn't quit that convenience store job, she could have encountered Ye Chen right now, increased his favorability, and finally returned to the Lin Family to start a new chapter in her life. Where was the need to work part-time here?

Right! The convenience store plot!

Young Master Fei glanced at the time.

It was past nine!

With a thud, Young Master Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It was over, sending her over now was useless; the time had passed. He remembered the plot timeline was around now.

Was it still too late to send her over? That convenience store was only an hour or so away from this hospital; could Ye Chen wait there a little bit?

What was he thinking? How was that possible!

Then how could this plot be saved?

What about her scenes?

Besides, bringing Jiang Anran, who had nothing to do with him, to his side—

How was he supposed to relax like this?

Acting day and night, wouldn't he be worked to death!

Even the most rigorous bosses out there only did 996, but the moment he opened his eyes he had to work, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on continuous shifts.

Wasn't this turning him into 007?

Young Master Fei wanted to get angry, but didn't know who to take it out on.

Take it out on Jiang Anran?

Are you kidding! It was too late to hide from her right now; what would happen if he got too involved with her and the plot collapsed?

Although there was a vague sign of that happening now, hadn't it not collapsed yet? His work results yesterday were obvious to all; apart from that tiny little accident in the middle, the whole result was still satisfactory, and the system even rated it a B.

Right, the system was still around, so he could still feel generally at ease.

Mm, yes, that was it.

As for being angry at Uncle Fu?

Not to mention that Uncle Fu was an old retainer of his family and he had never lost his temper with him, which would violate his persona.

Even speaking reasonably, if it came down to it, Uncle Fu didn't seem to do anything wrong; it was just a tiny misunderstanding.

What's more, his master-saving behavior yesterday still touched Young Master Fei deeply, so he couldn't lose his temper at him either.

It was just that the old man had been injured recently—well, he had to listen to the doctor.

Uncle Fu, you just rest properly for a while.

For this period, let that Zhao Jinfei, who looked resourceful and clever yesterday, come and stay by his side.

He looked very much suited for the role of a spoiled rich scion's lackey, giving off the vibe of a natural villain's running dog, and should be able to grasp his spirit.

There was no time to lose, so Young Master Fei immediately made arrangements with Uncle Fu, temporarily deciding that Zhao Jinfei would follow by his side until Uncle Fu was discharged from the hospital, filling the vacant post of head of security, while Uncle Fu took sick leave.

Hanging up the phone, looking at Jiang Anran before him, who was cutting fruit and blinking her bright, sparkly eyes, Young Master Fei couldn't help feeling a wave of a headache.

"Uh, Jiang Anran, stop cutting. This young master formally informs you, you're fired!" Young Master Fei put on airs, deciding to chase her back first.

If I have committed a crime, the law should punish me, rather than making the female lead serve me as a maid. With her staying by his side, even Young Master Fei himself couldn't be sure whether the plot would produce other wonderful chemical reactions, so he would chase her away first.

"Ah? But I signed a contract; how can you just fire me!" Jiang Anran was dazed, not knowing what kind of trick Young Master Fei was pulling.

A contract?

He was doomed!

One of the book's personas for Young Master Fei was that he respected contracts and would never violate them, even if the breach of contract penalty was negligible to him.

He wouldn't even pay lip service while doing the opposite!

In the book, it was because of this persona that his company signed a contract containing traps, leading to a break in the capital chain and ultimately causing the company to go bankrupt and his family to be ruined.

This was Young Master Fei's crucial persona; he couldn't violate it.

"..."

Staring at each other in silence for a while, he decided to first have Uncle Fu forward a copy of the contract for him to look at; only by knowing oneself and the enemy could there be a possibility of victory.

The more he read, the more ominous he felt. Why did this lousy contract directly state, "Follow Young Master Fei and serve him at any time"? Wasn't he unable to get rid of her now?

"Cannot have any other part-time jobs?" Was this reasonable? She still had her own plot to run!

"No days off throughout the year, except for a very few special holidays?" This routine was totally going to get you sued! Did you eat labor laws?

There were also all sorts of harsh clauses that made Young Master Fei unable to help but mourn for the wretched working stiff; all of this was for the generous final reward.

This work intensity... one could only say that your personal time was a bit loose, but your salary made up for that part quite well.

It had the beauty of an internet big-tech programmer.

Uncle Fu showed kindness, but didn't completely show it.

"I'm going to take a little nap, don't disturb me!" Young Master Fei was forced to start playing the role of the "wicked young master" on his own turf as well.

Entering the system.

"System, what should I do? This Jiang Anran is sticking around and refusing to leave, so what happens to her plot!"

Young Master Fei didn't expect that one day he would have to worry not only about himself, but also about other people's plots.

[Host please rest assured, the plot has not suffered any interference, and even if there is, it is negligible.]

The system gave its promise at the speed of light, but Young Master Fei somehow felt completely uneasy.

Yet turning to think about it, although it was repairing the Heavenly Dao, he only needed to play the villain; why borrow trouble and meddle in things that weren't his business? The emperor wasn't anxious, but the eunuch was. The system didn't say anything, so what was he worrying about!

Besides, that plot where Jiang Anran and Ye Chen met wasn't something he could handle anyway.

Having figured it out, Young Master Fei stopped caring. Exiting the system interface, he quietly lifted one eyelid to peek at Jiang Anran, watching her meticulously tidy up the delivered flower baskets, and hesitating for a moment, he simply closed his eyes and slept soundly.

Things had come to this.

He had to act when awake.

Then if he fell asleep... wouldn't he be able to muddle through? You want me to work useless overtime when there's no plot for me? No way!

Time for sleep!
