Chapter 25 The Greedy and Vicious Nanny 3

Xie Rong turned her head, still holding a silk shirt that she had just pulled off the hanger.

The soft, slightly cool fabric glides gently against the skin, unlike the clothes my mother-in-law snatched from a street stall on sale, which chafeed her skin red as soon as she puts them on.

He looked at Lu Chengjin through the glass cabinet door and blinked.

"Host, he locked the cabinet door," the white slime said angrily, nestled in his slightly sunken collarbone. "Teach him a lesson!"

Xie Rong raised his hand and pressed it against the cabinet door, and sure enough, he couldn't push it open.

Even a mute person can be powerful.

He couldn't help but laugh, clutching his aching stomach. Under Lu Chengjin's icy gaze, he slowly pulled out a pale purple gemstone necklace from behind his back and waved it in front of Lu Chengjin.

"Look what this is?"

The next second, Lu Chengjin's face darkened. He opened the latch, only to find that the cabinet door could not be opened.

Xie Rong locked it from the inside.

He had never seen a glass cabinet that could be locked from the inside before; it was really interesting.

Xie Rong opened her pearly teeth and bit the gemstone necklace, freeing her hand to rummage through her small handbag and pull out a lighter.

Then, in front of Lu Chengjin, he set fire to the hem of a bespoke suit trousers.

The fire spread little by little.

Since you cherish these clothes and jewelry so much and won't give them to him, then just destroy them all.

Xie Rong raised her eyes to Lu Chengjin, watching as the young master's jaw tightened and he began to furiously pound on the cabinet door.

Considering that the nanny held the only keepsake left by her parents, Lu Chengjin had no choice but to smash it with his bare hands.

He's so useless. He used to be able to watch his parents die tragically, and now he can only let a nanny bully him.

[Protagonist's pain level +20! Host, you're amazing! System is so impressed!]

Thick smoke lingered inside the wardrobe, preventing it from dissipating. Xie Rong couldn't help but cough, her thin, bare shoulders trembling uncontrollably, her eyes red-rimmed. She looked utterly pitiful, like a kitten trapped in a cage, waiting for a man to rescue it.

If he can resist the urge to smirk.

The moment the glass was shattered by Lu Chengjin's punch, Xie Rong's laughter, which had been blocked by the cabinet door, finally reached his ears.

How can someone not care about their own safety, but just want to torment others for amusement?

With a cold expression, he ignored the shards of glass embedded in the back of his hand, picked up Xie Rong and placed her on the bed, then ran to the bathroom to put out the fire with water.

Xie Rong sat on the bed and waited for a few minutes before finally yawning.

[Host, what should we do with this necklace?]

Xie Rong grabbed the white slime on his shoulder, pried open its mouth, and stuffed the necklace inside.

"That would be much better."

The system tried to cover its mouth and forcefully swallowed.

【This tastes awful.】

"I'll buy you oranges tomorrow," Xie Rong said, patting its head.

Ten minutes later, the fire was extinguished.

After treating his wounds, Lu Chengjin came out of the bathroom and stopped by the bed.

His once tidy bed was now a mess after the nanny slept on it, and it was filled with all sorts of strange scents.

Lu Chengjin lifted the blanket.

Wrapped in the blanket was a soft, snow-white body. The upper body was dressed in an ill-fitting but expensive silk shirt, and the legs were bare. A pair of gaudy underwear was faintly visible under the hem of the shirt.

The nanny who worked in the red-light district had never even been to a proper shopping mall. In an attempt to save a little money, she casually bought a pair of underwear from a roadside stall that didn't even have her size, and ended up confusing women's and men's clothing.

To save money, I had to wear it secretly, thinking that no one could see it.

Lu Chengjin reached out and lifted the hem of his shirt, his gaze calm and indifferent as he carefully scanned the area, but he couldn't find the light purple gemstone necklace.

Where exactly is it hidden?

A nanny with unclean hands might hide such valuable treasures in some shady place.

Lu Chengjin frowned, his eyes darkening beneath his bangs as if he were suppressing his disgust.

He pursed his lips, remained motionless, and squatted by the bed, staring at Xie Rong.

When Xie Rong woke up, he turned his head and saw the person by his bedside.

"Want your necklace?" Xie Rong asked knowingly.

Lu Chengjin nodded.

Xie Rong smiled and said, "I'm thirsty, I want to drink orange juice."

Without hesitation, Lu Chengjin turned and left the room. A few minutes later, he returned with a glass of orange juice, squatted down by the bed, and handed it to him.

Xie Rong took the glass, took a sip, glanced at Lu Chengjin, pinched the rim of the glass with her fingers, and slowly poured the orange juice onto Lu Chengjin's head.

“I only drank one sip, and gave the rest to you. When your brother comes to visit you in half a month, don’t say I didn’t take good care of you,” Xie Rong stuck out his tongue and licked the remaining fruit pulp on the side of the cup. The sweet and sour taste rose from the tip of his tongue, and he squinted his eyes with satisfaction. “Besides me, who else would be willing to take care of a mute like you with violent tendencies?”

[Protagonist's pain level +5, current pain level 30!]

Lu Chengjin closed his eyes, his chest heaving with restraint. Sticky orange juice flowed down his brow bone to his chin, and finally dripped onto his clothes.

But he was still patient; he hadn't gotten the necklace yet.

"As for that gemstone necklace, I'll keep it for you for now," Xie Rong said with a smile. "That's part of being a nanny, you know."

"..."

Lu Chengjin remained silent, while Xie Rong was in a good mood, his gaze sweeping back and forth over him.

Until the phone in the small handbag started vibrating.

Xie Rong put down the glass, got out of bed barefoot, and went to answer the phone.

He sat on the piano that Lu Chengjin cherished so much, his fair legs pressing unrestrainedly against the black and white keys. The cell phone he was holding to his ear was an old-fashioned flip phone, which no one knew where he had picked up.

While on the phone, he also took a break to snap a picture of himself sitting on the piano and sent it to the person on the other end of the line to show off, vainly saying that it was the piano he had just bought.

Through the nanny's candid conversation, Lu Chengjin easily learned that the man on the phone was his friend and had invited the nanny to lunch the next day at a restaurant where the average cost per person exceeded four figures.

The naive young nanny's eyes lit up when she heard about the four-figure restaurant, and that the other party was even paying, but she still pretended to be reserved and reluctantly agreed.

He hung up the phone, got off the piano, and walked with the legs that had left marks on the keys to the pile of burned clothes, starting to rummage through them to find clothes that he could wear to look like a rich man.

He was completely indifferent when he set the clothes on fire just now, but now he looks heartbroken. He's so fickle.

Xie Rong quickly found some clothes.

Even though they're all too big, as long as the clothes are expensive, people will only think they have unique designs.

That night, he kicked Lu Chengjin out of the room, slept soundly, and the next morning, after taking a shower and getting dressed to go out, he discovered—

His underwear is gone! He paid for them all!

Xie Rong, wearing a loosely draped bathrobe, hurriedly searched the room.

Lu Chengjin stood outside the door, silently pushing it open a crack. His dark eyes peered through the crack, coldly watching the busy figure.

What he was holding in his hand was none other than that bright red pair of underwear.
