Chapter 229 Maintenance



The next day, Jian Ruoxi got up early to wash up.

Because Ran Jie informed her that the dance teacher's schedule had changed, the class time would be moved up two hours from now on.

The thought of having to start dance practice first thing in the morning is exhausting.

But for the sake of my fans, I'll endure the hardship.

"Miss Jian, breakfast has been prepared for you." The head maid had timed it perfectly for Jian Ruoxi to get ready and came to inform her right on time.

"Okay, I'll go down now."

The nature of her work means that her wake-up time is irregular every day; sometimes she has to get up at five or six in the morning, like right now.

Sometimes, when she finally manages to get up in the morning without any engagements, she'll dawdle until 10 a.m. before getting up.

No matter when she got up, the head maid would prepare breakfast in advance, and she never missed a meal.

When Jian Ruoxi went downstairs, the head maid followed behind her.

"You're all being too good to me; I'm afraid I'll get used to it."

Three months later, she was even less able to walk.

The head maid was slightly taken aback. "Taking care of you is also part of my job."

Moreover, since this was personally instructed by Young Master Lu, she naturally had to take it seriously.

But there was still one thing she didn't understand: "Is there anything wrong with getting used to it?"

She knew that many people dreamed of such treatment, having servants to wait on them every day.

Jian Ruoxi simply smiled at the maid and didn't explain much.

What might be good for others may not be good for her.

"Lu Shen? What are you still doing here?"

If she remembers correctly, shouldn't this person be at the company at this time?

Why are you still at home?

"Doesn't the company require you to go?"

Lu Shen raised an eyebrow and smiled, putting down the magazine in his hand.

"Are you that concerned about my work?"

Jian Ruoxi was afraid he would misunderstand, so she shook her head like a rattle drum.

"You're overthinking it. I was just asking when you plan to leave."

If he stays here, how will the dance teacher begin the lesson?

Lu Shen put down the magazine, intending to have dinner with Jian Ruoxi, when a servant immediately took the magazine away.

"The Lu Group won't go bankrupt as long as I don't go there for a day."

"Besides, I'm the boss. I can take time off whenever I want."

Jian Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, wondering if Lu Shen even had that awareness.

People like him are the most annoying.

The dance teacher arrived shortly after we finished eating.

"Today we will continue what we learned yesterday."

The dance teacher tried her best to stay focused while teaching, but Young Master Lu from the Lu Group was watching her intently from the side.

It would be difficult for anyone to continue teaching under such pressure.

"Sorry, let's do it again. I think I miscounted the beats just now."

Lu Shen frowned slightly upon hearing the dance teacher's words.

Is this the person Ran Jie found?

Will it work or not?

It's only been ten minutes, and the beat has already been called out incorrectly three times.

Otherwise, he should find a new dance teacher for Ruoxi.

The dance teacher glanced at Lu Shen out of the corner of her eye and noticed that his expression was even worse than before.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jane, let's try again."

Sure enough, he immediately made the mistake for the fourth time.

This would never have happened in previous teaching methods.

"Since this dance teacher knew she was coming to teach today, surely she didn't even prepare the most basic lessons?"

Lu Shen adopted a commanding manner, just like when he was reprimanding his employees at the company.

The dance teacher had never seen such a terrifying person before. Hearing Lu Shen's displeased tone, she trembled even more violently.

He couldn't answer any of Lu Shen's questions.

"I, this, actually."

At this point, he couldn't even finish a sentence.

Jian Ruoxi took a few deep breaths, her fists clenching unconsciously.

She shouldn't have believed what Lu Shen said.

Just as Lu Shen was about to continue questioning the dance teacher, Jian Ruoxi stepped forward and pointed at Lu Shen.

"You, go upstairs."

"Not here."

If Lu Shen were still watching and supervising, even if she studied with him for 24 hours, she might not learn anything; all she would see was the teacher trembling.

This isn't supervision; it's clearly just intimidation.

"Ruoxi, that is me."

Before he could finish speaking, Jian Ruoxi repeated what she had just said.

"Go up!"

Then, something surprising happened to the servant.

They thought it was already frightening enough that Miss Jian was giving orders to the young master, and they were worried that the young master would get angry on the spot.

To their surprise, the young master not only wasn't angry, but also obediently left his seat.

They're up there already?

Is Miss Jian really that capable? She can actually order the young master around.

Is the young master obedient?

"Phew." Jian Ruoxi let out a soft breath. "They're finally gone."

Not to mention the dance teacher was nervous, she wasn't much better off.

As Lu Shen watched her learn to dance, something felt off.

"Teacher, please don't mind him, that's just how he is."

"Now that he's gone, you can continue teaching with peace of mind, and no one will bother you anymore."

Indeed, the dance teacher immediately felt a sense of relief after Lu Shen left.

"I can understand. Men are possessive of their women and get jealous, which is normal."

Young Master Lu's reaction was a bit stronger than that of the average person.

"Teacher, you've misunderstood. We're not like that."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know how to continue explaining.

He claims to be just a tenant? He's only staying here because he pays rent to Lu Shen.

If I tell others, will they believe me?

The dance teacher gave Jian Ruoxi a wink.

"It's alright, don't worry, I know the rules."

“I know Ran Jie. He told me to keep what happened here a secret when I came here.”

If the news of the popular actress living with Lu Shao gets out, it will definitely cause a stir online.

For this reason, Ran Jie even signed a confidentiality agreement with him.

"I won't tell anyone about what happened between you. After I finish teaching you to dance, I'll pretend I was never here."

Jian Ruoxi realized that the dance teacher had already assumed that she and Lu Shen were a couple, and no matter how she explained, it would only seem like she was trying to cover up the truth, and it would all be in vain.

I might as well just give up and abandon the project.

Let him think whatever he wants.

"You seem quite protective of Young Master Lu."

When the dance teacher said that, Jian Ruoxi was startled.

She pointed to herself, "Me?"

The teacher nodded. "Although you spoke somewhat disparagingly of Young Master Lu just now to avoid me misunderstanding, these are precisely the kinds of things that only the closest people would say."

"Only family members can speak so freely. It's like when two kids fight, the adults will always say their own child is wrong first."
