"Why?" Xia Xiaomin pouted and protested, "I haven't been to a hotel for days. Just let me go, okay?"
Since when was Xia Xiaomin so smart that she knew he was a pushover?
But this time, he definitely did not agree!
Zhong Luochen ignored Xia Xiaomin and continued to work, but he kept sneaking peeks at her from time to time. Seeing her standing there fuming, he didn't urge her to leave.
However, Xiao Min's decision was not that easy to give up. She deliberately coughed for a long time when Zhong Luozheng ignored her. Seeing that he was still unmoved, she walked over and grabbed his laptop.
"Xia Xiaomin, stop it!" Zhong Luozhan grabbed her arm and opened the computer screen again.
Xia Xiaomin looked frustrated. "Let me go back to the hotel, I'm begging you."
Zhong Luochen helplessly shook his head and patiently said, "Rest well today, I'll let you go back to the hotel tomorrow."
He could also go to the hotel tomorrow.
"No, I want to go today!" Xia Xiaomin steeled her heart and prepared to go.
Seeing that she wanted to go so badly, Zhong Luozhuang started to feel unhappy. He asked with a dark and cold face, "Are you that unwilling to stay in the villa?"
"In order to take care of you, I've taken many days off from work already. I just don't want to delay my work. Please let me go!" Xia Xiaomin said earnestly, hoping to move Zhong Luozhuang. After all, it was the hotel's blessing to have such a passionate love for her work.
Hearing that she was delaying her work because of him, Zhong Luozheng looked a bit better, "You're working here as a babysitter for 3 million a month, why haven't you resigned from your job at the hotel?"
Zhong Luozhan's gaze was fixed on Xia Xiaomin. He noticed that her eyes lit up when she talked about her dreams. He looked brave, warm, and full of life.
This Xia Xiaomin had a unique charm, to the point that Zhong Luozhuang couldn't tear his eyes away from her.
He had to admit that he liked the way Xia Xiaomin said she dreamed.
But what about the promise she had made with "someone else"? She had worked so hard for a single sentence. Was this person important to her?
Zhong Luozhuang's expression darkened again. He felt awkward and declared to Xia Xiaomin in a domineering manner, "As long as you become the chef, I will pay you 100 million yuan per year."
He didn't believe that Xia Xiaomin wouldn't be tempted!
This way, she would have to work hard to become the head chef because it was his own words!
Only now did Zhong Luozhan feel satisfied. He couldn't help but admire his own intelligence!
On the surface, Xia Xiaomin didn't say anything, but she had her own thoughts. She wasn't stupid. The hotel was his, so letting her be the head chef wasn't something he could just say!
The salary of a hundred million a year probably wouldn't fall down from the skies!
"You have no sincerity." Xia Xiaomin didn't think she would tell him what she was thinking. When she realized it, she was worried that Zhong Luozheng would be angry, so she raised her head to look at him, just in time to see him bending over.
Without hesitation, he kissed the flabbergasted Xia Xiaomin. His lips moved as he asked softly, "You're quite sincere, aren't you?"
His voice was very soft, and every word that was spoken to Xia Xiaomin made her feel like he was teasing her on purpose.
Xia Xiaomin pushed him away with all her might, but she felt that it was not enough. She kicked him again, admonishing him righteously, "Don't touch me in the future!"
When Zhong Luochen saw her anger, he couldn't let go of her. However, he also understood that if he continued like this, he would anger this girl.
"Alright, I'll let you go back to the hotel." Zhong Luozhuang had no choice but to compromise.
Xia Xiaomin didn't expect him to agree, so she immediately confirmed with a smile, "You can't go back on your word."
Zhong Luozheng couldn't help but pinch her chin. "There are conditions."
"What?" After patting his hand, Xia Xiaomin thought to herself, She said it won't be that easy.
"Have a good rest in the morning and go down later!" Zhong Luozheng purposely spoke coldly, letting Xia Xiaomin know that he had made the most concessions.
It was already good that he could agree, but Xia Xiaomin naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. She quickly nodded. "Okay, I'll go again in the afternoon."
Having Zhong Luozhan's promise, Xia Xiaomin was very happy. She didn't want to disturb his office any longer, so she went downstairs and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
The butler, Wu Bo, saw her sitting there by herself and felt bored. He turned on the TV and passed the remote control to her. "Miss Xia, Young Master will be busy for a while. Watch the TV for a bit."
As for Xia Xiaomin, although Zhong Luozheng said she was the new babysitter, Wu Bo didn't think so. After this morning, if he still couldn't tell, then all these years had been wasted.
Therefore, he took good care of Xia Xiaomin and called her Miss Xia.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu." Xia Xiaomin took the remote control board and thanked him with a smile.
Wu Bo smiled and turned away.
In fact, Xia Xiaomin found it boring. Previously, when she was taking care of Zhong Luozheng at the hospital, they were together every second. Even if he was busy, and didn't have the time to talk to her, as long as he turned his head or turned around, he would be seen at the hospital bed or by the window.
But now …
His eyes drifted upstairs from time to time. When would he be done?
The channel was constantly being switched. Xia Xiaomin noticed an anime channel was broadcasting the baby sponge. She actually liked it a lot, so she started to watch it.
Xia Xiaomin looked at him with a serious expression, not knowing how much time had passed. Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded from above.
"How old are you to look at a sponge baby?" There was no lack of contempt in his tone.
When Xia Xiaomin heard the sound, she knew it was Zhong Luo's voice. She was happy to turn around, but the next moment, she covered her eyes.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?!" Xia Xiaomin shouted.
Zhong Luozhan had just finished his bath, and only his lower body was covered with a towel, which symbolically covered the important parts of his body. He could not help but tease, "What's your name? I didn't do anything to you. "
"You … Hurry up and go upstairs to get dressed! " Xia Xiaomin turned her back to Zhong Luochen and whispered, "Big pervert!"
Pervert? Zhong Luozhan smiled sinisterly as he leaned towards Xia Xiaomin. "Then I won't do what a pervert should do. Wouldn't I be letting down on this title?"
Hearing his words, Xia Xiaomin was so scared that she quickly retreated, covering her chest with her hands. "You …" What are you doing? "If you dare to come over, I will kick you down!"
Zhong Luozheng looked at her in amusement. She didn't even do anything, yet she was already screaming like this. The corner of her mouth curled up, wanting to continue teasing her, "Have you seen anything about me? What's the point of being shy? "
His words were provocative, which actually made Xia Xiaomin blush. Recalling the two times they spent together, Xia Xiaomin cursed in her heart, Zhong Luozhuang turned into a scallion, and let her chop it into pieces!
"Pervert, quickly get dressed!" Xia Xiaomin covered her eyes, grabbed the cushions on the sofa, and pushed him upstairs.
Zhong Luozheng was neither embarrassed nor annoyed. As he was being pushed away, he said, "A big pervert is always better than a childish ghost!"
"You're the childish one!" Xia Xiaomin retorted in dissatisfaction.
Zhong Luozhan looked at the baby sponge that was playing on TV, the smile on his face became even wider. "I wonder who is watching the baby sponge."
Xia Xiaomin was stumped by Zhong Luozheng's words. She was stunned for a moment before reacting, "This is childishness. A childishness knows that it's better than a pervert like you!"
It was another pervert! Zhong Luozhan stopped and turned around to slap away the cushion against his body. He glared at Xia Xiaomin and threatened with narrowed eyes, "Xia Xiaomin, if you say it again, I'll let you know what a true pervert is!"
Her heart thumped in her chest. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, but her heart was still full of anger. She pouted her cheeks and glared at Zhong Luochen.
Zhong Luozheng's mood brightened when he saw how angry she was, but she was too afraid of being silenced.
"Then put on your clothes, I won't say anymore." She really didn't want to be face-to-face with him.
Lu Ni did not respond to Xia Xiaomin's concern. Instead, she asked, "Why haven't you come to work for so long?"
"I've had a cold for the past few days, so I'm taking a leave of absence." Knowing that her master would ask, Xia Xiaomin was ready.
Rooney nodded, still dazed.
"What happened?" Xia Xiaomin knew something must have happened to Lu Ni. Otherwise, how could she be like this?
Lu Ni looked at Xia Xiaomin, a little embarrassed. "Xiaomin, can you lend me a million?"
Xia Xiaomin was surprised. "Lu Ni, what do you want so much money for?"
"Xiao Min, I …" Lu Ni was put in a difficult position, but she had no other choice. She grabbed Xia Xiaomin's hand and anxiously said, "Xiaomin, you have to help me. My father tried to gamble with a loan shark, but …" He lost a million. They said if they didn't pay back the money tomorrow, they'd kill my dad. "
Xia Xiaomin had heard that Lu Ni's father loved gambling. Otherwise, Lu Ni wouldn't have worked so hard to become a chef.
"Xiao Min, aren't you familiar with Director Zhong? Help me ask him for a loan, okay? I don't want anything to happen to my dad. Xiaomin, please, help me. " Seeing that Xia Xiaomin was silent, Lu Ni quickly moved out of Zhong Luozhuang's room to remind her.
Although Zhong Luochen gave her the black card, she didn't want to use his money …
Xia Xiaomin was in a difficult situation. On one hand was her good friend, Lu Ni, who had lost her life. On the other hand, she didn't want to touch Zhong Luozhuang's money. What should she do?
"Xiao Min, just help me this time. Otherwise, my father definitely won't be able to live past tomorrow!" After saying that, Lu Ni burst into tears.
Lu Ni's tears had completely defeated Xia Xiaomin. She frowned and finally agreed, "Alright, I'll help you."
Xia Xiaomin went to the nearest bank and took out a black gold card from her bag. She wanted to make an appointment the next day to withdraw 1 million cash.
However, the bank staff respectfully told Xia Xiaomin, "This Black Gold Card is something only extremely distinguished guests can have. There is no need for an appointment."
Xia Xiaomin placed the money in Lu Ni's hands, "Lu Ni, hand the money over to your father and tell him to stop gambling in the future."
Lu Ni was extremely grateful. She kept saying thank you to Xia Xiaomin, but in her heart, she wasn't sure. Where did Xia Xiaomin get all that money from?
Was Zhong Luozhan really that good to her? Lu Ni could not help but be even more envious. Why was Xia Xiaomin able to climb high?
"..."
