Chapter 33 The Greedy and Vicious Nanny 11

Xie Rong paused in her knitting, looked up at him, her eyes filled with resentment, "It doesn't all belong to me, do you want it back?"

Distracted by Lu Chengjun, Xie Rong almost forgot what he was going to say.

"I wasn't talking about the birthday party, I was talking about what you said when you came to see me last night," Xie Rong said, her face darkening as she stared coldly at the man, "did you not take it to heart at all?"

Lu Chengjun frowned.

He never visits Xie Rong at night; it's too late, and it might disturb Xie Rong's rest, nor is it very considerate.

So he wasn't sure if his fiancée was just being petulant or serious.

Before he could speak, Xie Rong asked impatiently, "When exactly are you planning to send this mute guy abroad? I get annoyed every extra day he stays!"

Even before their relationship was officially established, Xie Rong had already perfectly mastered the act of being a mean-spirited sister-in-law, which made him feel exceptionally pleased.

That's right, that's it! Get this mute out of here quickly, and it would be best if he lost a little more pain points.

Lu Chengjun's expression was calm, and his tone was casual: "How about next month? After we get engaged next month, we'll send him abroad."

The man's implication was clear: as long as Xie Rong didn't keep him hanging on, signing the agreement would be exactly what he wanted.

Xie Rong squinted.

It's true that older men tend to be more cunning.

“Okay,” Xie Rong pulled out her knitting needles, tapped the man’s Adam’s apple, and said softly, “If you can’t do it, I’ll be angry.”

Lu Chengjun slightly raised his chin, his Adam's apple bobbing uncontrollably.

Looking into Xie Rong's smiling eyes, he realized that in his nearly thirty years of life, he could sense a chilling coldness in the eyes of this worldly but handsome young man.

But he had already thoroughly investigated Xie Rong's background. The boy was only eighteen years old this year. He dropped out of school early because he was too poor and lived with his elderly grandmother. At such a young age, could he possibly have any unknown past?

“Okay,” Lu Chengjun said, taking the knitting needle that he was fiddling with.

Xie Rong had already pictured Lu Chengjin's pathetic state after being kicked out of the Lu family's gate. He was knitting a sweater when he suddenly laughed.

"What happy thing came to mind?" Lu Chengjun asked casually as he looked down at the ball of yarn.

Xie Rong laughed even louder.

"Mr. Lu, aren't you happy? Once you send your brother abroad, the Lu Group will be all yours. No one will know that you killed your parents. You should be even happier than me," he patted the man's face, looking puzzled, as if he hadn't noticed the man's body stiffen for a moment.

Lu Chengjun: "..."

"So, even President Lu is afraid of being found out after doing something bad? That's why you can't smile?" Xie Rong smiled sweetly, leaned closer, and maliciously breathed her fragrance into the man's eyes. "You're no good. You're far inferior to me."

A few seconds of silence.

The man concealed the turmoil surging in his eyes and said calmly, "Some things can't be said carelessly."

His fiancée is too mischievous; she dares to say anything.

It's hard to tell if it's a joke or... some kind of malicious intimidation.

Xie Rong ignored him and buried herself in knitting.

Lu Chengjun sat by the bed and stayed with Xie Rong for two hours, watching as the sweater grew longer, with a round orange knitted by Xie Rong at the chest.

He must have been mistaken; his fiancée was undeniably adorable.

Before leaving, Lu Chengjun seemed to be deep in thought, and suddenly said, "Xie Rong, I haven't been to the villa in the East District at night before, but if you want me to come, I'll change it to the evening from now on. Would that make you happier?"

After saying this, the man put down the gift he had received for the first time and left.

Xie Rong frowned, tidying up the ball of yarn. "What did he mean by that?"

"It wasn't him who came to my room last night? Then who was it?" The air in the room froze for a moment, then Xie Rong suddenly realized and chuckled, "I know."

[Host...] The system floated in the air and trembled.

"Come here," Xie Rong said calmly.

The system approached shakily.

Xie Rong remained expressionless, pinching the white slime's round head. A hint of crimson appeared under his eyes as he smiled. "Weren't you able to recognize the protagonist? How come you suddenly can't anymore after a month? Oh, so you're in cahoots with him, conspiring to deceive me, right?"

[Host, I really didn't know! Waaaaah, of course I'm on your side! I don't want to be on the side of that annoying protagonist!]

"Is that so?" Xie Rong smiled, went downstairs barefoot, walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower and the faucet in front of the bathtub, and put the slime in his hand into the water.

The system's two simulated short arms kept flapping, sticking out its tongue, and its eyes turned into two big X's.

[It's because the host disrupted the plot! The host prematurely revealed the protagonist's pretense of autism, causing a butterfly effect. The system's detection function can only be used to detect the main storyline; it's no longer useful.]

The system gulped down a few mouthfuls of water and then burst into tears.

[Host, I'm not kidding!]

Xie Rong let it go.

The white slime twisted its body, shook off the water droplets, and hurriedly wrapped its two little arms around Xie Rong's neck.

[I'm your little Gu worm, I've been with you since my past life, have you forgotten, host?]

Xie Rong sat on the edge of the bathtub, the showerhead still spraying hot water, soaking all her clothes.

He lowered his eyes and played with the water on the ground barefoot.

Before binding to a host, each system must check the host's complete data in order to maintain the relationship with the host.

Xie Rong's file contains only two sentences:

Play with him.

Listen to him.

The system has always kept this in mind.

The white slime jumped into the water and began playing with Xie Rong.

It couldn't out-splash Xie Rong, so it covered its head and ran around wildly, its comical appearance finally making people laugh.

Xie Rong was having a great time when the bathroom door was kicked open from the outside.

He turned his head, met Lu Chengjin's eyes, and said nothing.

Lu Chengjin walked over, picked him up from the bathtub, and said coldly, "The first floor is almost flooded. I thought—"

He thought something had happened to Xie Rong, and before he could even think, he kicked the door open.

Xie Rong asked, "Are you Lu Chengjun?"

Lu Chengjin: "Hmm."

"You said you'd play games with me this afternoon, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Lu Chengjin frowned: "What do you want to play?"

"Carry me back."

Lu Chengjin carried him back to the bathroom, and while Xie Rong was getting into the bathtub, he turned off all the faucets and showerheads.

"Come here," Xie Rong waved to him and smiled at him. His clothes were soaked with water, revealing his fair skin.

Lu Chengjin walked over and squatted down beside the bathtub, where Xie Rong gently stroked the back of his neck.

"Let me think about it, what should we play?"

Xie Rong's lips were so close that Lu Chengjin stared at them, lost in thought. The next second, the hand on the back of his neck suddenly tightened, grabbing him and shoving his head into the water.

Xie Rong curled her lips into a smile, her eyes reddening slightly, but her gaze coldly reflected the man's impending drowning.

If you dare to lie to him and secretly enjoy watching him make a fool of himself, don't blame him for turning Lu Chengjin into a joke!

That damn bastard, die... die!
