Seeing that her face was red from coughing, Lu Jingheng put down his chopsticks and patted her back. "Are you alright?"
Xu Rubao was eating when he yelled at her, and she choked.
At this moment, his actions were very strange; he actually patted her back to help her breathe.
Xu Rubao was startled again and coughed even more violently.
She shrank to the side, poured herself a glass of soup, coughed for a while, and finally felt a little better.
She quickly drank some soup to suppress the discomfort.
Seeing that she was alright, Lu Jingheng picked up his chopsticks again. "Xu Rubao, I'm warning you, you're mine now. From now on, watch your manners and don't embarrass me anymore, understand?"
Xu Rubao nodded slightly. Then, she pondered his words: what did he mean by "she is his now"?
She was clearly just working for him; at most, she was a maid, not one of his people.
Seeing her defiant and argumentative look, Lu Jingheng glanced at her and said, "Eat!"
Xu Rubao was dissatisfied, but dared not say anything more; damn, his eyes were terrifying.
At this moment, she couldn't help but worry about herself. When would this year of working like a slave end?
If I'm constantly being targeted by his gaze, won't my life be a little shorter?
After dinner, Xu Rubao cleared away the dishes and cleaned the kitchen as well.
After tidying up, she went outside and saw Lu Jingheng watching the news, so she made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
"Mr. Lu, I saw some chrysanthemum buds in the kitchen, so I brewed you a cup. I wonder if you like it?"
She brought the tea over, thinking that he had finished eating and there shouldn't be anything for her to do. Could she leave now?
Lu Jingheng took the hand, glanced at her, and saw that she looked nervous.
"You can go now..."
Xu Rubao was overjoyed when she heard this. Just now she had been pondering how to start the conversation.
She worried about what would happen if he asked her to stay overnight. What if he did something perverted in the middle of the night?
Lu Jingheng naturally saw how happy the little wildcat was when he said those words.
He rubbed his temples. Was he really that terrifying?
Afraid that he might change his mind, Xu Rubao quickly added, "Mr. Lu, I'll be going now. Call me if you need anything, and I'll come right away."
She wanted to add, "You don't need to pick me up from school," but seeing him rubbing his temples and looking rather unhappy, she didn't dare say it.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that if she said it, his expression would become even uglier.
"Um……"
A minute later, Xu Rubao disappeared from the villa. The large villa was unusually quiet.
On Saturdays and Sundays, she couldn't stay at school and had to go back to the Xu family home.
But at least at the Xu family's house, one can get a good night's sleep.
When she returned to the Xu family home, it was around nine o'clock. Before she even entered the living room, she heard a burst of laughter coming from inside.
The laughter stopped abruptly when she appeared.
Xia Lanying's face immediately darkened when she saw her return. "You jinx, what are you doing back here?"
Tonight, Ziqing brought Siqi home for dinner. They were having a good time, but Siqi's appearance instantly ruined the atmosphere.
Xu Rubao knew that her grandmother had never liked her, and her grandfather wasn't home.
She went over and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I'll go back to my room right away and I won't come out."
