Miraculously, Le Yao understood the English, which sounded like it came from the suburbs. Although the title "Young Madam" sounded a bit awkward, she couldn't correct it and could only smile and say "Thank you" in English.
“This is Dema,” Nangong Jue introduced to Le Yao. “She’s a maid here. I saved her and her son during an accident abroad, and since then, they’ve been working for me.”
Le Yao nodded. Actually, she wasn't curious at all. After all, how could someone who could afford to buy villas all over the country or even the world not be able to afford servants?
Just then, a dark-skinned young man ran up from behind. He seemed very happy to see Nangong Jue and mumbled a lot of things in his speech.
Unfortunately, Le Yao's foreign language skills were really mediocre. She could understand pure British and American English, but the English spoken in this rural area was... like listening to gibberish to her.
This is similar to the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese.
After exchanging words with the other party, Nangong Jue introduced Yue Yao to him.
Le Yao knew that this was Demar's son, Hans, who had even been given the Chinese name Li Bai because he loved classical Chinese culture and enjoyed reciting ancient poems.
“My lord, the young mistress is very beautiful.” Hans, no, Li Bai switched to somewhat broken Chinese, “This is called: A smile that turns heads and a hundred beauties pale in comparison.”
Le Yao: ...
This is an artistic foreigner.
However, she remained modest in the end.
"Thank you for your compliment, but I cannot compare to Yang Guifei."
"Alright, we just got off the plane and we're a bit tired." Seeing that Li Bai was about to say something, Nangong Jue stopped him, "We're hungry too."
"The food is ready, you can go wash up first." Li Bai didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly helped carry the luggage into the house.
However, the young man was very talkative. As they walked, he introduced his pet to Le Yao, who lived in a small house behind the villa. He hoped she would go and see it.
Le Yao expressed interest and said she would go after she had rested.
Li Bai happily flashed a bright white smile.
“He’s a bit naive,” Nangong Jue said, afraid that Le Yao would get impatient. “He’s very loyal to me.”
"It's fine." Le Yao smiled.
It was placed on the second floor, and the two people's room doors were right next to each other.
After washing up, Demar had already served the food, which was Western cuisine.
“Demar only knows how to cook Western food. If you don’t like it, I’ll find another chef.”
"It's not that complicated," Le Yao shook her head. "I'm used to the food, and I can cook for myself, so it's fine."
After lunch, Le Yao went to see Li Bai's pet, and then... she was terrified.
I originally thought Li Bai kept cats and dogs, but I never expected that he kept lizards and snakes.
Le Yao was terrified of mollusks in her past life, and she hadn't overcome it in this one. When she saw those creatures flicking their tongues at her, her face turned pale, and tears streamed down her face.
Nangong Jue, who had followed, hurriedly carried the person out of the pet room, then glared sternly at Li Bai.
Li Bai was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kept apologizing. If the young mistress was frightened, he would be in trouble.
"It's okay, I'm just a little afraid of snakes." Le Yao calmed down after coming out and quickly wiped away her tears. "But your pet is very cute. I just need to go back and rest for a while." Then she hurriedly ran back to her room.
Nangong Jue's lips twitched. This woman was really good at saying one thing and meaning another.
