Chapter 11 Are You Willing?
Xiao Beisheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Stop the car."
The car slid to the bus stop, but Suman still didn't react.
That night, countless cars stopped and moved back and forth in front of her, but none of them belonged to her.
She can't even afford a two-dollar bus ride now.
The car door opened, and a man in Italian custom-made leather shoes stepped out of the car. He held a black long-handled umbrella and came to Suman.
The man had a tall and slender figure, and a shadow was cast on Su Man. Su Man realized it belatedly and raised her head in a daze. When she saw Xiao Beisheng, she thought she was too cold and had hallucinations.
"Why do you look like this?" Xiao Beisheng lowered his head and looked down at her home clothes.
Maybe it was because she was cold, she was still shivering.
Su Man pursed her lips and did not answer.
Xiao Beisheng lost his patience. He had worked all day and was very tired. It was raining and the rain soaked his suit trouser legs. What he hated most was rain.
"Do you want to stay here or come with me?" His voice was slightly cold.
Su Man's mind was a little numb, but human instinct drove her to speak: "I... have nowhere to go."
Living under someone else's roof taught her the most basic survival skill, which is the ability to bend and stretch.
She was never pretentious.
Xiao Beisheng moved sideways to make way for her. Su Man stood up with the help of a chair, only to find that her whole body was frozen.
She took two slow steps, and Xiao Beisheng embraced her, put his arm around her shoulders, and helped her into the car.
There was a blanket on the back seat, which Gao Xu had prepared in advance.
Su Man was soaked all over, and it would definitely not be comfortable for her to sit directly on the leather seat.
The heater was on in the car, but Suman was still shivering.
Xiao Beisheng said, "Turn up the heat."
When he hugged her just now, he was very surprised when he touched her skin. It was very cold.
She had probably been wandering in the rain for a long time.
They did not return to Xiao Beisheng's residence, but instead went to Qin Ganyun Mansion.
Xiao Beisheng has never brought anyone back to his home.
Gao Xu sent them home and drove away.
Xiao Beisheng took Su Man into the villa.
She was wrapped in a blanket, and her wet clothes were no longer dripping with water, sticking to her body. In addition, she had been using the air conditioner all the way, so she was now alternating between hot and cold, and felt a little dizzy.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Beisheng had no choice but to say, "Change your wet clothes first. I'll get you some hot water."
Su Man nodded, her pale little face was so adorable.
Xiao Beisheng used to be very gentlemanly, but that gentlemanly manner was a bit distant. But now Su Man felt his true tenderness and meticulousness.
Su Man thought that a man who knew how to take care of others so well must have had someone he really wanted to take care of, or someone must have taught him how to take care of others.
She couldn't help but think of what Gu Ziheng said, the person that Xiao Beisheng had hidden deep in his heart.
She was actually a little... envious.
After taking a hot shower, Su Man realized that she had no clean clothes to change into.
She hesitated in the bathroom for a long time, not knowing how to start.
Xiao Beisheng's voice suddenly rang out, and at this moment, it was like the sound of nature: "This happened suddenly, and the mall is closed. I can't prepare suitable clothes for you. Here are some of my clothes. You can wear them for one night, and I'll ask someone to buy you some tomorrow morning."
The sound of slippers approached, and his voice rang out at the door: "Put it here for you. I'm going to go out first. If you need anything, come to the study to find me."
After saying that, the footsteps faded away and the door closed.
Su Man quietly opened the door a crack and took a peek outside. Xiao Beisheng was no longer in the room. On the high stool next to the door, there was a set of men's clothes, neatly folded and smelling of detergent.
Fifteen minutes later, Suman knocked on the study door.
"Enter."
Su Man opened the door and went in, she saw Xiao Beisheng sitting at the desk. Behind him was a whole wall of books. He was wearing a bathrobe, and gold-rimmed glasses were perched on his tall and straight nose. He looked less sharp and his temperament was much gentler.
"Can I take a few minutes of your time to talk to you?" Su Man went straight to the point.
Xiao Beisheng raised his eyes from the computer and looked at her for two seconds.
Then he closed the computer, crossed his hands, and looked like he was listening attentively.
Su Man briefly told Xiao Beisheng what happened at her aunt's house tonight.
Xiao Beisheng frowned slightly when he heard half of it. Then he leaned back on the chair and tapped the mahogany table lightly with his fingers.
"I'm not saying this to get your sympathy. As you can see, I ran out in a hurry and took nothing with me, so I had nowhere else to go," Su Man said with a wry smile. "I... I want to borrow some money from you. Once I find a place to live and get a stable job, I'll pay you back as soon as possible."
Just as she was at ease when she teased Xiao Beisheng before, she was now just as cautious.
This sharp contrast made Xiao Beisheng feel uncomfortable.
"How much?"
"Not much, one million."
One million is not even a fraction of a rich kid's monthly pocket money. Now Su Man is so humble for such a small amount of money.
Xiao Beisheng opened the drawer, took out a bunch of keys, and placed them on the table. "This is the spare key to the villa. Instead of going out to look for a house, why not just live in one that's already there?"
Su Man was slightly stunned.
What does he mean?
"Don't worry, I don't want you to be my lover. I won't let you live here for free. You work for me, and your labor will be converted into rent. I will pay you salary for the excess." Xiao Beisheng looked at her inquiringly.
"So...I need both, what kind of work?"
"From what I've observed, you're quite good at putting on a show at dinner parties. When I need you again in the future, you can accompany me to social events. You're also a good cook, and when I don't need to attend social events, and I happen to want to stay here, you can help prepare my meals. Like... a personal secretary? How's that?"
Su Man's little brain was working rapidly.
If she worked for Xiao Beisheng, she would be doing two jobs at the same time, getting two salaries, being able to avoid her aunt, and having a place to live. From this point of view, it was not bad.
"Don't want to? If you don't want to, I can give you one million."
"No! I don't want to!"
"…Are you willing or not?"
"willing!"
Xiao Beisheng pushed the key in front of her. Su Man was very obedient and walked over in small steps to pick up the key.
As he got closer, Xiao Beisheng could see her skin clearly. Under the light, it looked plump, translucent, and so delicate that it seemed as if it could be blown away.
His shirt was several sizes too big for her, fitting loosely on her slender frame. The collar was slightly open, revealing her straight collarbone. The hem covered her thighs. Fortunately, she was wearing his casual home pants, otherwise Xiao Beisheng could imagine what a thrilling scene it would be.
It was clearly a very formal outfit, but she wore it in a way that made it look seductive.
