The dining cart stopped beside Su Xiao. A maid in a black round skirt placed the food in front of him and opened a bottle of wine.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal."
The maid bowed and retreated toward the chamber doors.
"Wait."
Su Xiao picked up the metal cup on the table and sized up the maid with interest.
"Dance for me."
"What?"
The maid stared at Su Xiao in astonishment and quietly took a step back. After hesitating for a moment, she actually began to dance—and she was surprisingly good at it.
Su Xiao was somewhat puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he spoke:
"Take off your clothes."
"!"
The maid's body stiffened. After hesitating for a moment, she first closed the door, then actually began undressing.
"Stop." Su Xiao waved his hand. "You can leave."
"Huh?"
The maid, who had already stripped off her upper garments and revealed a large expanse of pale skin, looked at Su Xiao. She had originally thought she was about to be subjected to unspoken rules. After all, it was common for a manor's owner to take a fancy to a maid.
The maid, whose worldview had been forcibly refreshed, pushed the dining cart along, occasionally looking back at Su Xiao. Her gaze clearly said, You're not going to take advantage of me? I won't refuse. That half-hearted resistance just now was only to spice things up.
Su Xiao did not touch the food on the table. He had originally thought that an old fox like Bloomer, after suffering such a huge loss during the day, would at least show some reaction at night. That was why he had waited in the chamber all this time. Instead, he had only gotten a maid—and that maid really was nothing more than an ordinary maid.
