"Senior Jiang... isn't this a bit too much?"
Shen Yuxuan blinked her beautiful eyes, lightly pressed her red lips together, and murmured softly.
To Shen Yuxuan, a monthly salary of one hundred thousand yuan was already an astronomical sum, making everything feel unreal.
Upon hearing Jiang Che offer such generous terms, Shen Yuxuan's first reaction was that she simply did not deserve such a high salary.
After all, she was only an ordinary third-year university student who had not even graduated yet. What right did she have to receive such pay?
"Everyone else gets an annual bonus of five hundred thousand, but you're different..."
Jiang Che picked up the hot tea the maid had brewed, took a light sip, and casually agreed.
"I... I'm different?"
"What does Senior... mean?"
Hearing Jiang Che's somewhat suggestive words, a faint blush appeared on Shen Yuxuan's pretty face. She felt deeply shy, yet could not help feeling a little delighted.
Did Senior mean that she held a higher place in his heart than the other maids?
Or did Senior also have feelings for her?
Could he even... want to get close to her?
At that thought, Shen Yuxuan's heart raced wildly. Her heart fluttered like a startled deer, ripples spreading through her chest as her little head grew increasingly muddled, interpreting Jiang Che's single sentence in eight hundred different ways.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Che raised a brow and spoke meaningfully.
As he spoke, he gave Shen Yuxuan an even more suggestive wink.
"I..."
"Senior, I'll go get to work first..."
Shen Yuxuan stammered, completely unsure how to answer. Under Jiang Che's extremely suggestive gaze, she felt even more embarrassed, and even the rabbit ears atop her head drooped.
Finding a random excuse, the little white rabbit fled in panic.
[Shen Yuxuan was overcome with shyness. Emotion Points +1314...] [Shen Yuxuan was overjoyed. Emotion Points +3344...]
Watching Shen Yuxuan's slightly disheveled retreating figure, Jiang Che's lips curled upward, and he felt somewhat emotional as well.
Sure enough, Little White Rabbit Female Leads like Shen Yuxuan suited his tastes best. A few casual flirts brought in thousands of Emotion Points. It could not have been easier.
Teasing the little maid whenever he felt like it brought such rewards. Wasn't that far more interesting than plotting against the protagonist?
"By my calculations, Xiao Chen should be getting out the day after tomorrow..."
"Are you ready for the grand gift I've prepared for you, dear King of Soldiers...?"
Imagining Xiao Chen's complete breakdown and life-doubting expression after getting out of prison, Jiang Che could not help letting out a sinister chuckle inwardly.
Just imagining it made him look forward to it immensely!
The next morning.
Jiang Che woke up in Xiao Yi's bed as usual. After soothing the Purple-haired Loli's body and mind, he took a hot shower, changed into a clean, neat suit, and hurried downstairs.
"Good morning, Senior~"
Seeing Jiang Che come downstairs, Shen Yuxuan gave a sweet smile, bowed slightly, and greeted him.
These were all etiquette lessons the other maids had taught her during yesterday's training.
When you take someone's money, you have to listen to them.
Since she was receiving Jiang Che's exceptionally high salary, Shen Yuxuan naturally obeyed his every word.
"Good morning, Yuxuan."
Jiang Che nodded with a smile and discreetly withdrew his appraising gaze.
Sure enough, a little white rabbit was still a little white rabbit.
She was only slightly better than Xiao Yi and Liu Mengxi, those two soft and adorable lolis. Compared with Leng Qingqiu, she was far behind.
Jiang Che could understand that perfectly well.
After all, Shen Yuxuan had grown up in an orphanage and lived in poverty, often unsure where her next meal would come from. Naturally, she was somewhat underdeveloped.
Still, that was all in the past now.
Now that she had come to Qingteng Villa, Jiang Che would sooner or later raise this little white rabbit until she was fair and plump.
"Senior, breakfast is ready. Would you like to eat now?"
Shen Yuxuan wore a radiant smile, her voice soft and gentle as she spoke with exceptional tenderness.
After a night had passed, Shen Yuxuan was no longer as awkward as she had been yesterday. However, her gaze still darted away whenever she looked at Jiang Che, and she did not dare meet his eyes.
Jiang Che nodded slightly, walked directly to the enormous dining table, and sat down to enjoy the lavish breakfast the little maid had carefully prepared.
"Did you make all this?"
After taking a sip of the millet porridge, Jiang Che looked at Shen Yuxuan before him in surprise.
He knew exactly how his own cook's food tasted.
Although today's breakfast was slightly inferior to that of his personal chef, it had its own distinct flavor and was quite delicious.
"Yes, Senior..."
"Does it suit your tastes, Senior?"
Shen Yuxuan nodded gently, her eyes full of anticipation as she waited for Jiang Che's evaluation.
"Pretty good. I like this kind of millet porridge. It's good for the stomach."
"Sit down and eat with me."
Jiang Che gave his assessment and motioned for Shen Yuxuan to sit down and eat with him.
Shen Yuxuan's cooking was naturally far behind that of his state-banquet chef, but compared to those so-called master chefs outside, it was still excellent.
Only then did Jiang Che recall that when he had examined Shen Yuxuan's Attribute Panel before, it had indeed listed Master Level cooking.
It made sense. How could someone who had become a Daughter of Destiny, born in response to fate itself, be nothing but a complete vase?
Besides their outstanding beauty, these Daughters of Destiny generally possessed attainments in a certain field far beyond those of ordinary people.
That was true of Leng Qingqiu, and naturally it was true of Shen Yuxuan as well.
"No need, Senior. I already ate the staff meal with the other sisters earlier."
Shen Yuxuan gently shook her head and declined Jiang Che's kindness.
Jiang Che did not insist. After breakfast, he drove the Koenigsegg One:1 he had won from the system's lottery and left Qingteng Villa directly with a group of bodyguards.
Shen Yuxuan watched the supercar's receding figure with infatuated eyes until it completely disappeared from view, only then slowly withdrawing her gaze.
"Why does Senior seem even more handsome today?"
"Is this what they mean by beauty being in the eye of the beholder?"
"But this is only my one-sided crush~"
Shen Yuxuan muttered to herself. Following Jiang Che's instructions, she took a breakfast tray, turned, and headed upstairs toward Xiao Yi's room.
Shen Yuxuan was merely a little airheaded by nature. She was not some beautiful idiot who understood nothing.
On the contrary, because she had worked and studied since childhood, entering society at fourteen and taking all sorts of part-time jobs, Shen Yuxuan was more mature than university students her age and better at reading people.
Although she had only arrived at Qingteng Villa yesterday, after a brief period of observation, Shen Yuxuan had already noticed that Jiang Che and that little loli dressed in purple, with purple hair, shared an unusual relationship.
When she had secretly watched Jiang Che last night, Shen Yuxuan noticed that Senior's eyes were always filled with affection whenever he looked at the little loli.
Emmm...
It felt like a domineering CEO looking at his Little Wife?
Naturally, Shen Yuxuan regarded Xiao Yi as the mistress of Qingteng Villa and wanted to build a good relationship with her.
Although she deeply longed for Jiang Che's affection, she also knew her place. She only hoped to remain by Senior's side forever as a maid.
After all, she had come from an orphanage, and there was an enormous gap in status between her and Jiang Che. How could she possibly appear in public at this man's side?
If possible, Shen Yuxuan only hoped that she could receive a share of Senior's love in the future, even if it was only a tiny sliver.
As expected of a female lead in an urban power-fantasy novel, she had a natural ability to accept the idea of sisters serving one husband.
Jiang Che had not even made a move yet, and Shen Yuxuan had already begun brainwashing herself.
If Jiang Che learned of these adorable thoughts in Shen Yuxuan's heart, he would definitely spoil her rotten!
