"Are you Jiang Anran?" Young Master Fei asked, wanting to confirm it uncertainly while letting go of her hand and stepping back a little.

"Yes, why would the young master ask that?"

Seeing chat return to the channel between master and servant, Jiang Anran did not know whether she should feel relieved or disappointed, and for a moment felt somewhat complicated.

"Just yes is fine, then you don't need to come tomorrow."

Although he did not know why there was some unexpected development, Young Master Fei felt: as long as Jiang Anran stayed far away and went through their plotlines with Ye Chen, things would return to normal... right?

Jiang Anran patted her small face twice with her hand, her brain's IQ once again occupying the high ground.

Hm, she confirmed that the young master had three personas, a very bountiful harvest today.

Experiment right away!

"Young master, you said you want to fire me? But Miss Gu just said she wanted to 'see with her own eyes' me getting fired, young master. Before that, Miss Gu said she wanted to let me 'be smug' for a bit. Young master, you wouldn't want her to find out that you dismissed me, right?"

The maid who held the young master's lifeline did not want to use blackmail easily, but the young master was making her leave! How could she repay the young master like this? Absolutely not!

She could only wrong the young master temporarily.

"You!" Was this female lead so smart? She suddenly caught one of his logical blind spots.

He couldn't think of any more reasons for the moment.

Young Master Fei knew that he could not shake off this trouble for the time being.

Unless he ignored his persona and forcefully fired her.

But didn't he fire her precisely to maintain his persona?

Whatever, he would think about it slowly. Anyway, that section of her plot getting to know Ye Chen had no room for rescue.

Before waiting for a new opportunity, staying by his side didn't seem that serious?

Young Master Fei decided to comfort himself like this.

"Let's go, back to the hospital."

He would think of a way back there...

Inside the Lamborghini.

Young Master Fei still wanted to professionally act out the part, just newly putting on a fierce tone as he said: "Jiang Anran! Don't you think just now it was your little cleverness that made you win, it's just that I, the young master, am temporarily not bickering with you! If—"

"The young master can rest a bit, there's no need to always put on a fierce look, it must be very tiring."

"..."

Mentally broken, truly mentally broken.

Was his acting so bad?

Could she really tell right away that he was faking?

For the first time in his life, Fei Yangyao had doubts about his acting skills.

Mentally tired, Young Master Fei no longer wanted to speak.

Silence.

When they returned to the villa, A Jiu was already gone.

Presumably she should have gone back. He hoped she could find her way home and not get herself lost again.

Though getting lost wouldn't be a big problem either, Ye Chen could find her.

Since she had already gone back, Young Master Fei didn't dwell on it anymore.

Young Master Fei went back to the hospital, lying on the hospital bed.

He decided to sort out the plot first (from Young Master Fei's perspective):

The first day of transmigrating.

Because of initial maladjustment, sitting in the driver's seat he had a moment of absence, not looking at road conditions before hitting A Jiu, and then haggling with her for half a day, missing the first plot scene in the book with Gu Xiyue.

Not to mention one hundred percent, there was ninety-nine percent chance it wasn't his fault, and the system later gave a chance for remedial plot. Except for one small difference from the original book—getting to know A Jiu—there seemed to be no difference.

Unless it conflicted with her young master's will, A Jiu was very serious about promises. The pinky swear he made with her, she probably wouldn't think it conflicted with Ye Chen's will, after all Ye Chen hadn't told her yet that he would pluck her flower stamen later.

So knowing A Jiu didn't seem to matter much.

Young Master Fei mentally sorted through the first day's plot and found no problems.

The second day.

He very safely followed his groping of the address in his memory to send the direction-challenged A Jiu home. Judging by Ye Chen's reaction later that day, he shouldn't have discovered that A Jiu had any connection with him.

Mm, no problem.

Next, because he was going to buy Supreme Roses, and after sending A Jiu home the time was too late, he accompanied Uncle Fu to Little Flower Shop.

After all, Supreme Roses were extremely scarce roses, and Little Flower Shop might not have stock. If only Uncle Fu went, it would be hard for him to decide what to do.

Upon arrival, his own response shouldn't have had any problems either. Xiao Xiao didn't recognize him, and Jiang Anran saw his overbearing side once again.

Although he got to know one more female lead, other than Jiang Anran running over to his house to become a maid later, there seemed to be no problems here. Afterwards, he had no plot entanglements with Jiang Anran or Chen Xiaoxiao.

Next, carrying a bunch of red flowers, he finally rushed to Gu Xiyue's company. As a result, Ye Chen had no problems, but for some reason, Gu Xiyue didn't play according to the routine, not following the script as she agreed to the confession.

Fei Yangyao sorted through it again. Strange, why did Gu Xiyue do this?

He couldn't figure it out.

Next, Jiang Anran came over to be his maid. Young Master Fei could understand it—the influence of knowing her before, you see. There was no way for him to change this.

As a result, the subsequent plot...

It couldn't be called taking a nosedive; it could only be said to be plummeting straight down a waterfall.

And he... seemed to have no room for operation at all!

Right, the system, let's ask it about the situation!

Young Master Fei summoned the system.

"System, why is Gu Xiyue so strange today? What happened?"

[Please have the host explore events happening to other characters on your own]

"Great, then you won't tell me about the situations with Uncle Fu and Jiang Anran either, right?"

[The host is truly smart]

"I'm smart? I actually feel the female leads are smarter than me, especially that Jiang Anran. I can't figure her out at all, deliberately sidling up to cause trouble for me. With her around by my side for a day, this plot is bound to be finished sooner or later. Can the system transfer her away? Just back to that convenience store!"

[This system cannot directly interfere with the plot]

"Then what about the plot? I feel like it's going to collapse."

[Please rest assured, host. The plot possesses a certain degree of corrective force. Although a small deviation has appeared at the present stage, it is still within a controllable range]

"Meaning I don't need to care, then?"

[Yes, no need to take action. The host only needs to try your best to play the original persona in front of others and complement the plot. Even if other unexpected situations arise, there is nothing we can do either]

"I feel like I can't act in front of that fellow Jiang Anran anymore. She seems to be able to tell that I'm bluffing."

[Please have the host hone your work capabilities more]

Hone work skills? Why do you talk so corporate?

But it also made sense.

Perhaps his acting skills hadn't passed muster previously?

Although Fei Yangyao was confident he possessed acting talent, after all he hadn't received much training, had he?

Perhaps go sign up for an acting class to add skill points to his acting?

Coincidentally, these few days he should properly lie in the hospital, and there wasn't much plot.

He picked up his phone and gave instructions to Uncle Fu.

"Uncle Fu, help me find an acting teacher, one-on-one kind, and it needs to be confidential. Don't make a fuss about it."

"Alright, young master."

Young Master Fei himself didn't understand this trade, so leaving it to Uncle Fu gave him peace of mind.

Uncle Fu's butler capabilities were at the MAX level.
