Xu Zhaoyue's hand finally stopped moving. Looking at the two hands clasped together, Yue Lanxing didn't know whether she should pull her hand back.
"Hmm? The truth?" Xu Zhaoyue turned around, holding Yue Lanxing's hand, and looked at him with a smile.
“The truth!” Yue Lanxing said firmly, “I will not hide anything from Miss.”
“If there’s nothing to hide, then why didn’t you tell me about your allergy to women in the first place?” Xu Zhaoyue wouldn’t be fooled by a few words; she had to get to the bottom of this.
Yue Lanxing recalled the first time he saw the young lady because of this question. "Because I didn't know I was going to be the young lady's bodyguard at the time, I had already met her at the dock. It was love at first sight, so I didn't dare to say anything."
"You fell in love with me at first sight? At the dock?" It would have been fine if she had said it herself, but Xu Zhaoyue's question made Yue Lanxing blush instantly. "Yes."
Xu Zhaoyue now recalls what happened a few months ago, but it was indeed their first meeting.
At the time, her focus was on Xu Zhaohao's parent-teacher meeting. Her first impression of Yue Lanxing was that he had found someone to impersonate his cousin, Yue Xuanxuan's brother, and that he was good-looking.
"So when the young lady chose me, I hid it from her. Actually, my allergies are not all the same. Although there is no pattern, they are indeed less severe for some people, like Xuanxuan."
Xu Zhaoyue saw that Yue Lanxing seemed eager to explain, "Are you trying to take a gamble? Haven't you considered that if you really have an allergic reaction, and we don't know you're allergic to women, whoever touches you could just go straight to the hospital without even going to the hospital?"
Yue Lanxing sensed that Xu Zhaoyue was angry again, so he lowered his voice to explain, "Even if I were the young lady's bodyguard, this kind of situation could happen at any time, and I've been prepared for it for a long time."
"Besides, I didn't think that much at the time. Just being able to stay by the young lady's side was enough to satisfy my wish."
Xu Zhaoyue quickly comforted herself, saying that it's perfectly reasonable for young people to act impulsively for love.
“Okay, I accept your confession.” Xu Zhaoyue said to Yue Lanxing’s shocked gaze, “There’s no need to dwell on those things now. If your confession was sincere, then I’ll say yes now.”
"Really?" Yue Lanxing was so excited that he tightened his grip. "Ouch, that hurts." Xu Zhaoyue instinctively tried to shake his hand off.
Yue Lanxing quickly let go, "I was too excited, are you alright?" Then he carefully placed Xu Zhaoyue's hand in his palm to check, "No, I'm fine." Xu Zhaoyue then raised her hand and slapped him lightly.
“However, I have three requests.” Xu Zhaoyue held up three fingers. Yue Lanxing naturally agreed, “Just three?” She asked this question with a truly clueless air.
Xu Zhaoyue's first request was, "First, we cannot disclose our relationship to the outside world at the moment. The situation at the company is still unclear, so we cannot make an announcement rashly. However, I can let Xiaonan know."
“Of course.” Yue Lanxing knew that Xu Zhaoyue wanted to take over the Xu family business and become the chairman from the heir. At this time, the news that she was with a housekeeper was obviously a weakness.
Seeing that he had no complaints, Xu Zhaoyue nodded in satisfaction. "Secondly, although you are now the butler, don't demand of yourself the same duties as a bodyguard. Don't do things like what happened yesterday."
Yue Lanxing shook her head. "No, no matter what my identity is, protecting the young lady is my top priority. At worst, I can take a few more people with me when I go out in the future."
"Okay, fine, I'll do as you say on this." Xu Zhaoyue conceded a step. "The third thing, and the most important thing, you need to listen carefully."
"I treat my subordinates and close friends differently. My subordinates only need to complete the tasks I assign them, but if you want to be my boyfriend..."
As Xu Zhaoyue spoke, she started pacing around the room, and Yue Lanxing followed behind her, listening intently. What conditions are needed to go from being a subordinate to a boyfriend?
"You must put me first in everything, and you can't hide anything from me. You have to tolerate my temper, and even if I make a mistake, you have to stand by me and not use the excuse of doing it for my own good to criticize me!"
"Can these things be done?" Xu Zhaoyue suddenly turned around and looked at Yue Lanxing, the two almost bumping into each other. "Isn't this what I'm doing now?" Yue Lanxing's question made Xu Zhaoyue realize something.
"Oh, that's true. No wonder I like you. Then keep up the good work and don't get too proud." Xu Zhaoyue poked Yue Lanxing's shoulder.
"Okay, definitely." Yue Lanxing took Xu Zhaoyue's hand and placed it on her chest, letting her feel her own heartbeat.
The two were staring at each other when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Xu Zhaoyue subconsciously raised her hand. "Oh dear, it's like puppy love." Xu Zhaoyue laughed at herself.
Yue Lanxing went over to open the door. "Sister Xiaonan?" After confirming that it was Xiaonan, he stepped aside to open the door.
"Hmm, Miss?" Xiao Nan wanted to come and see if the young lady needed anything, but she didn't expect the atmosphere to be so strange when she opened the door.
"Xiao Nan, come in, I have something to tell you," Xu Zhaoyue said. Xiao Nan saw that the young lady still had something to say, so she came in. "What is it, Miss?"
"Ahem." Xu Zhaoyue waved to him, and Yue Lanxing immediately strode over. Then, Xu Zhaoyue took his hand and announced to Xiao Nan, "He just confessed to me, and I agreed."
"What!" Xu Zhaoyue's voice suddenly rose. "Shh, don't let anyone else know." Xu Zhaoyue quickly stopped her from speaking loudly again.
"Okay, I'll keep my voice down." Xiao Nan covered her mouth and remained quiet for a while before letting go. "Alright, I've calmed down. Miss, are you two together now?"
