Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: My Lover, Where Are You (2)
Xiao Mo knew she was out of money, so he said indifferently, “Room and board included, two hundred a day, paid daily.”
“…” Xia Chuqing wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t refuse at all!
She couldn’t think of a reason to refuse, except… being afraid he might suddenly beco a beast.
Her big eyes rolled around, and she smiled, “Well, Mr. Xiao, it seems like you’re at a bit of a loss. You’re offering such a high rate just for to… clean the rooms?”
“I pay my housekeeper three hundred.”
“…”
With that, Xiao Mo grabbed his coat and went out.
Downstairs, Xiao Mo took out so milk from the fridge and heated it up, speaking blandly without looking up, “Do you want to start today or tomorrow?”
“Today then. Which room do I stay in?”
“The smallest one,” Xiao Mo pointed upstairs.
“Oh.”
“Originally, I was planning to get a little Teddy dog for that room to stay in.” Xiao Mo felt inexplicably cheerful, especially when he saw Xia Chuqing’s head drooping.
Xia Chuqing knew Xiao Mo was teasing her, but she didn’t mind, giggling, “Mr. Xiao, you sure have a unique taste, even a Teddy doesn’t escape your attention.”
“…”
Xia Chuqing had already jumped to the side, ducking into the bathroom.
She was in a good mood too. She calculated that this way, she could earn an extra six thousand a month…
She would assess the situation for two or three days, and if she found Xiao Mo to be sowhat decent, she’d stay.
If he turned out to be a scoundrel, she’d move out at another ti.
While having breakfast, Xiao Mo casually made himself a cup of coffee and heated a glass of milk for Xia Chuqing.
“Later, I’ll give you my housekeeper’s number, you can ask her in detail what I like to eat,” Xiao Mo said.
“Okay, I’ve noted it down, Mr. Xiao.”
“Don’t call Mr. Xiao at ho; it sounds like you’re gritting your teeth.”
“Okay, I’ve noted it down.”
“What are you doing?” Xiao Mo frowned, staring at the paper and pen in her hand.
“Writing it down clearly, otherwise the boss might scold .” Xia Chuqing diligently noted down his requests.
“The boss? And this title you chose.”
“Isn’t it correct? Then what do you want to call you?”
“Just call by my na.” Xiao Mo wasn’t inclined to argue with her.
“Oh.” Xia Chuqing noted down again, “Mr. Xiao… Mr. Xiao, when is your housekeeper returning?”
Xia Chuqing felt that calling him Mr. Xiao was smoother; calling him by his first na felt a bit daunting.
She still rembered boldly telling him to call her “sister” last night, now she wouldn’t dare even if given ten more nerves.
“I don’t know; she went back to the countryside for sothing important.”
“Oh, I see.” Xia Chuqing noticed Xiao Mo had a decent attitude and seed approachable, so she felt a bit relieved.
Last night, he must have been drunk when he forced a kiss on her.
Or maybe he mistook her for Yao Jia.
“In the mornings, you can choose to go with to the corporation, or walk about ten minutes to the bus stop.” Xiao Mo said, “There’s a direct bus to the corporation, the 219 line, but you need to get up early, or else with the traffic, you’ll be late for the corporation.”
“Alright, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Xiao. I’ve noted it down.”
Xia Chuqing’s impression of Xiao Mo improved a bit; he wasn’t as terrible as she thought.
“Alright, just rember that.”
“Mr. Xiao, why did you hire as a housekeeper? I’m not very good at doing chores.”
“You should get familiar with this place,” Xiao Mo said casually.
“Huh?” Xia Chuqing didn’t understand; it’s not her house, what did she need to get familiar with?
“Are you unwilling?” Xiao Mo changed his tone, slightly displeased.
“No, no, I am very willing.”
“This isn’t a welfare center. If you don’t do your job well, I’ll fire you at any ti.”
“Oh.” Xia Chuqing pouted; monts ago, it was all clear skies, and now he was throwing a tantrum again. She hadn’t said anything wrong.
She didn’t have enough money to rent an apartnt at the mont; even if she did, she’d still need to clean and do chores. It’s better to stay at Xiao Mo’s place first; she wouldn’t need to buy daily necessities.
“Mr. Xiao… about last night, do you really not rember anything after getting drunk?” Xia Chuqing probed.
She had made him call her “sister” several tis and even called him silly…
“I don’t rember, did sothing happen?” Xiao Mo looked at her seriously.
Xia Chuqing quickly shook her head, “No, nothing happened. I just took so money from your wallet for the taxi driver, I didn’t have any money in my wallet.”
“Oh, take it anyti.” Xiao Mo responded nonchalantly, continuing to drink his coffee.
Take it anyti?
Having money really makes one carefree…
Seeing her look of astonishnt, Xiao Mo couldn’t help but frown, “Anything else you want to say?”
“No, nothing more, let’s have breakfast.”
Xia Chuqing hadn’t reported in to work yet today. After sending Xiao Mo out, she picked a ti to familiarize herself with Xiao Mo’s house.
Xiao Mo gave her a few keys to conveniently co and go as she pleased.
The house was nice; it probably had a high value.
The rooms were quite clean, with not much to clean except… the clothes he left in the bathroom.
Xia Chuqing blushed and tossed them all into the laundry machine.
After cleaning the place, she went to the supermarket to buy groceries.
She could only cook simple dishes, so she followed a recipe to learn a few.
Although not particularly delicious, they were edible.
She wasn’t very demanding of herself; as long as it was edible, it was fine. She just didn’t know if Xiao Mo was picky or not.
Around eleven o’clock in the morning, she called Xiao Mo, but he didn’t answer.
Xiao Mo was in a eting and saw Xia Chuqing’s call just after the eting ended.
He had just reprimanded soone in the eting, so his mood had improved a bit now.
“Hello.”
“Mr. Xiao, are you coming ho for lunch?”
“I usually don’t go ho at noon, you eat by yourself.”
“Oh…” Xia Chuqing felt a bit disappointed, she had made quite a bit of food, “What about dinner?”
“We’ll see in the evening.”
“Oh…”
After hanging up, Xia Chuqing made a bowl of egg soup and had lunch by herself.
For so reason, this situation easily led to misconceptions for her.
It felt a bit like…
No, she forbade herself from overthinking, she was just his temporary housekeeper.
Today, she called his housekeeper; she said she’d return in half a month.
In the office, Xiao Mo was listening to Assistant Xiaofeng reporting on the schedule for the next few days. The assistant said, “There’s a business eting with Green Energy Group at 3 pm today, and in the evening, a wine reception with Rong’s Jewelry. Tomorrow…”
“Wait, cancel tonight’s reception.”
“Mr. Xiao, that’s not possible,” the assistant said awkwardly, “Rong’s holds significant power, and Shen’s is currently collaborating with Rong’s.”
“Then you go.”
“I can’t, I’m insignificant.”
“Then shut up.”
“…”
The assistant was puzzled, what was going on this evening? Yesterday, there was already a canceled engagent, and now another? Was it to spend a romantic evening with a beauty?
While wondering, Xiao Mo spoke again, “Stop scheduling too many evening engagents for . I’m not feeling well lately and can’t drink much.”
