Shi Aoju has always been very conservative in his actions. With the information he currently possesses, it’s not enough to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes. Since the other party hasn’t hard his vital interests, according to his principles, there’s no need to use excessive ans yet.
"In such a hurry to go ho?" He glanced at her with a aningful look in his eyes.
"Not at all." She couldn’t wish more to stay here, so that Su Zhenxiong wouldn’t find her, and she wouldn’t have to endure those endless days in that cold ho, "I just want to escape the clutches of that old witch."
"Old witch?"
"The one who arranges work for us, the housekeeper..."
When Su Jiuyi said this, her whole face was gleaming with expression. Her fair cheeks exuded a beauty as delicate as silk, and her upper lip curled outward playfully to express her discontent.
Her clear eyes sparkled, like the shimring ripples of a lake. Behind her was the brilliant sunshine, as if separated by thick, distant ti, rendering her connection with this world ethereal.
"Aren’t you going out?" Feeling a bit bashful under his burning gaze, Su Jiuyi changed the topic, tilting her head to look at the car behind him, also noticing the mud stains on the window, "Car’s dirty?"
"Mm." Shi Aoju nodded, raised his hand to glance at the luxury watch on his wrist, "I’ll give you ten minutes, clean it up."
"What?" Although she was a maid, she still had basic human rights. It was her break ti, and she wasn’t obliged to wash his car, "You could just drive it to the car wash..."
Those words were just to grumble a bit, because she knew very well Shi Aoju’s personality. Since he had spoken, there was no room for resistance.
Shi Aoju sat with a nonchalant expression under the garden umbrella, lazily squinting his eyes. His gaze fell with interest on Su Jiuyi, who was bending over to pull out the hose from the grass.
"Make haste, eight minutes left." Shi Aoju’s voice ca leisurely.
This blood-sucking capitalist!
Su Jiuyi dragged the hose to the car, resentfully turned the faucet handle, only to have water gush out due to the high pressure in the pump. The water surged against the car window and bounced back, soaking Su Jiuyi, who was less than a ter away from the car.
In the scorching mid-July weather, getting drenched like this was actually quite refreshing.
"Are you okay?" Seeing her in such a drenched state, Shi Aoju couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth. Clearly wanting to laugh, he restrained himself from laughing out loud.
Su Jiuyi turned off the faucet, wiped the water off her face, her clothes were nearly all wet, and the hair on her forehead began to drip.
"I’ll give you three minutes to change clothes." Shi Aoju’s devilish voice rang out again, "Or else, I’ll dock your pay."
Which maid had told her so long-windedly that Shi Aoju appeared cold but was actually nice to the employees!
Su Jiuyi jogged back to her room, just as the three minutes were up as she opened the door. She didn’t have ti to complain, opened her wardrobe, took out a new set of clothes, and quickly put them on.
After changing, she ran back to the garden. The temperature outside was even higher, like stepping into a stear, her arms couldn’t quite adjust to the temperature switch and broke out in fine goosebumps.
Upon returning, she noticed Shi Aoju was wiping the car. The sleeves of his white shirt were slightly rolled up, revealing his fair, bony wrist. His tall, slender figure stood straight, looking very refreshing, completely out of place with this scorching sumr.
