Young Master, you wouldn't want Miss Gu to know about my dismissal, would you?

"You're Jiang Anran, right?" Young Master Fei asked uncertainly, releasing his grip and taking a few steps back.

"Yes, why does Young Master ask?"

Seeing that their conversation had returned to the master-servant channel, Jiang Anran didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed, her feelings becoming complicated for a moment.

"If that's you, then you don't need to come tomorrow."

Although he didn't know why things had taken an unexpected turn, Young Master Fei thought: as long as Jiang Anran stayed far away, her plotline with Ye Chen would return to normal... right?

Jiang Anran patted her cheeks with her hands, her intellect regaining control of her mind.

Mm, confirmed. Young Master has developed three personas. Today's gains are quite substantial.

Time to experiment!

"Young Master, are you saying you're going to fire me? But Miss Gu just said she wanted to 'personally witness' me getting fired, Young Master. Before that, Miss Gu wanted me to 'revel' in it for a bit. Young Master, you wouldn't want her to know about you firing me, would you?"

The maid, who held the key to Young Master's weaknesses, didn't want to resort to threats, but Young Master wanted her to leave! How could she repay his kindness then? Absolutely not!

I can only inconvenience Young Master temporarily.

"You!" Is this female lead really that smart? She had instantly grasped one of his logical flaws.

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

Young Master Fei knew he couldn't shake off this trouble for now.

Unless he ignored his persona and forcefully fired her.

But wasn't he trying to maintain his persona by not firing her?

Forget it, I'll think about it slowly. Anyway, there's no salvaging her plotline with Ye Chen. As long as she stays by my side before a new opportunity arises, it doesn't seem too bad?

Young Master Fei decided to comfort himself this way.

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

I'll figure something out when we get back...

Inside the Lamborghini.

Young Master Fei still wanted to play his part professionally. He put on a fierce expression and said, "Jiang Anran! Don't think you won just now with your little tricks. It's just that Young Master isn't going to bother with you for the moment! If..."

"Young Master can rest. You don't need to keep pretending to be fierce. It must be tiring."

"..."

My defenses are broken, truly broken.

Is my acting that bad?

Can she really see through my act so easily?

Fei Yangyao doubted his own acting skills for the first time in his life.

Feeling exhausted, Young Master Fei no longer wanted to speak.

Silence.

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

She must have gone home. I hope she can find her way back and doesn't get lost again.

Though, it's not a big problem if she does get lost. Ye Chen can find her.

Since she was gone, Young Master Fei didn't dwell on it.

Young Master Fei returned to the hospital and lay on the hospital bed.

He decided to organize the plotline first (from Young Master Fei's perspective):

The first day after transmigration.

Due to initial disorientation, he was momentarily lost in thought while driving. He didn't pay attention to the road conditions and hit A Jiu. After a long argument with her, he missed his first encounter with Gu Xiyue as described in the book.

This wasn't entirely my fault, maybe 99% of it. The system even gave me a chance to fix the plot later. Except for one small difference from the original book – meeting A Jiu, there doesn't seem to be any other major change.

Unless it conflicts with her Young Master's will, A Jiu is very serious about her promises. She wouldn't think that a pinky promise with me would conflict with Ye Chen's will, especially since Ye Chen hasn't told her yet that he plans to pluck her flower buds later.

So, meeting A Jiu doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Young Master Fei reviewed the first day's events in his mind and found no issues.

The second day.

I safely guided the directionally challenged A Jiu home, relying on my memories of the address. Based on Ye Chen's reaction later that day, he probably didn't discover any connection between A Jiu and me.

Mm, no problem.

Next, because I needed to buy Supreme Roses, and with the time it took to take A Jiu home, there wasn't enough time left. So, I accompanied Uncle Fu to Little Flower Shop.

After all, Supreme Roses are very rare, and Little Flower Shop might not have them in stock. If I had just sent Uncle Fu, he wouldn't have been able to decide what to do.

Upon arrival, dealing with it myself should be no problem. Xiaoxiao doesn't know me, and Jiang Anran will see my overbearing side again.

Although I've met another female lead, Jiang Anran, who will later come to my house as a maid, there don't seem to be any other issues here. After this, I won't have any plot-related entanglements with Jiang Anran or Chen Xiaoxiao.

Next, carrying a bunch of red flowers, I finally rushed to Gu Xiyue's company. Ye Chen was fine, but for some reason, Gu Xiyue didn't play by the rules and accepted the confession, deviating from the script.

Fei Yangyao thought it over again, Strange, why would Gu Xiyue do that?

He couldn't figure it out.

Next, Jiang Anran comes to be my maid, which Young Master Fei can understand, given their previous acquaintance. There's nothing I can do about that.

But the subsequent plot...

It can't be called a sharp turn; it can only be described as a complete collapse.

And me... I don't seem to have any room to maneuver!

Right, System, I should ask it about the situation!

Young Master Fei summoned the system.

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

[Please explore events concerning other characters yourself, Host.]

"Fine, so you won't tell me about Uncle Fu and Jiang Anran either, right?"

[The Host is truly intelligent.]

"I'm intelligent? I think the female leads are smarter than me, especially Jiang Anran. I can't figure her out. She's deliberately coming close to mess with me. As long as she's around, this plot will be ruined sooner or later. Can the system send her away? 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 has a certain self-correction ability. Although there's been a slight deviation at this stage, it's still within controllable limits.]

"So I don't need to do anything?"

[Yes, no action is required. The Host only needs to do their best to play their original role in front of others and complete the plot. Even if other unexpected situations arise, we can't do anything about them.]

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

[Please hone your work skills more, Host.]

Hone work skills? Why does it sound so experienced?

But it does make sense.

Perhaps my acting wasn't good enough before?

Although Fei Yangyao was confident in his acting talent, he hadn't received much training, had he?

Maybe I should sign up for an acting class to add some skill points to my acting?

It just so happens that he should be recuperating in the hospital these few days, and there's not much plot.

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

"Uncle Fu, help me find an acting teacher, a one-on-one type, and keep it confidential. No publicity."

"Understood, Young Master."

Young Master Fei didn't know much about this line of work himself, so he felt more at ease leaving it to Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu's butler skills were at the max level.
