Chapter 15 Happy Start to Work: The Fifteenth Day Filled with the Scent of Gunpowder.
Ji Ye's expression turned slightly cold.
In this world of business, there are far too many people who covet his wealth, or even just his looks. Ji Ye originally thought that Xie Ruan belonged to the second type, similar to a stalker who secretly applied for a nanny job without telling her superiors, a fan of theirs, or something else entirely.
However, he underestimated the young nanny.
The nanny not only pretended to be innocent, but also softened his heart.
He also loves money.
Ji Ye almost instantly thought of the men who had flirted with him and wanted to use him to climb the social ladder.
Ji Ye glanced around.
His gaze, however, silently fell on Xie Ruan's fair neck, which bore a few bite marks.
Ji Ye almost instinctively held his breath. His fingers unconsciously tightened, and his thin lips visibly became drier.
Even the atmosphere around them suddenly became a bit heavier, but Xie Ruan seemed oblivious, holding her phone and looking at the numbers on it, becoming even more excited.
Nobody said that transmigrating into a book could lead to such a good job, right?
Xie Ruan blinked her beautiful eyelashes, then turned her head and immersed herself in making plum juice.
Completely oblivious to Ji Ye's cold expression, seemingly convinced that Xie Ruan was still looking at him innocently, and his sarcastic remark: "Is this how you've always seen others?"
With that innocent, pitiful expression.
...
Ji Ye was certain that Xie Ruan would stop at nothing to get what she wanted, resorting to playing the victim and claiming she was pitiful in order to get close to him. But to his surprise, when he turned his head and imagined staring at him, the pitiful Xie Ruan, just like the one on the bed earlier, did not appear.
The atmosphere grew even heavier, and Ji Ye's face darkened further: ...
Xie Ruan's little tuft of hair on her head twitched up and down, as if she had money in her hands and couldn't even notice him. She took the freshly made plum juice and went to pour it in the next room.
It even seems like, really, I want it!
Stay away from him!
Carrying a heavy bag of sour plum juice, it was as if I deliberately escaped and ran to the stall next door!
There is no one in this world who doesn't want to be near him!
Xie Ruan was completely different from what Ji Ye had imagined.
Ji Ye's expression grew even colder: ...
Playing tricks?
Ji Ye was still pondering Xie Ruan's actions when Xie Ruan's tablet voice function rang.
Xie Ruan answered the phone in a very soft voice: "Hello... hello."
Ji Ye and Xie Ruan were too far apart, and Xie Ruan's voice was very soft, so Ji Ye couldn't hear it. However, this made him have an even worse impression of Xie Ruan.
He didn't understand why Xie Ruan was so relaxed as to answer the phone in front of him.
Does she really think that as long as she stands in front of him, she can easily lure him away and make him submit to her?
Too confident.
Ji Ye's cold gaze swept over Xie Ruan.
Xie Ruan was beautiful and clean-cut, and Ji Ye thought he had seen countless good-looking boys.
However, it must be said that the extremely superior appearance he perceived would pale in comparison to Xie Ruan's.
But even though Xie Ruan was more beautiful than others.
Ji Ye didn't think that Xie Ruanqi would cause any emotional turmoil in him.
He's not obsessed with looks.
Ji Ye's gaze fell on Xie Ruan again.
Xie Ruan was still wearing the clothes he had crumpled up the night before. Xie Ruan's clothes seemed very thin, and the pale white shirt silently revealed how old the clothes were.
Because of its age, the garment was extremely thin from washing. As the sunlight gradually cast dappled patterns on Xie Ruan's body, Ji Ye even felt that Xie Ruan's body had a delicate, porcelain-like luster that was very eye-catching.
The eye-catching sight made Ji Ye silently shake Xie Ruan, letting her appearance come into view.
Then, he heard Xie Ruan communicating with the other side.
Xie Ruan didn't hear a response from the other end, so she spoke again: "Hello?"
The man opposite her seemed to be teasing her as he spoke: "What did you call me? Hmm? A-Ruan."
Ah Ruan?
No one has ever called Xie Ruan that.
This is especially true for employers.
That's strange.
Xie Ruan was feeling down. Answering the phone had been too difficult for him, so he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the employer's name on the screen again.
——Lord Zhou Jingchi.
Although Xie Ruan didn't understand why Zhou Jingchi cared so much about how he addressed her, she still obediently said, "My lord..."
Ji Ye, who was calmly drinking water nearby, choked.
I've been coughing for a long time.
Xie Ruan turned her head and looked at him with some concern.
But when Ji Ye glanced at him and their eyes met, his social anxiety kicked in, and he subconsciously turned his head away, no longer looking at Ji Ye.
Xie Ruan, of course, didn't see Ji Ye's sullen mood clearly; she simply curled her fingers slightly and returned to the phone.
Zhou Jingchi on the other end didn't seem to react much to being addressed as "sir." Xie Ruan adjusted her tablet, thinking the signal was bad and Zhou Jingchi hadn't heard her, and called out again, "Sir...?"
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed to be called by her name in public. Her beautiful fingers couldn't help but curl up.
Upon seeing Xie Ruan, Ji Ye heard Xie Ruan's voice clearly this time.
grown ups?
My patron?
Ji Ye's expression was not good.
This nanny actually toyed with the feelings of several people at the same time, right in front of him?
Is he so certain that even with other people around him, he would still get involved and make demands of him?
Too confident.
Ji Ye stood up silently, his intention to leave was all too obvious.
Ji Ye felt terribly stuffy inside. He was just about to leave when the nanny rushed over in a flurry.
Ji Ye felt cold as the nanny approached.
His lips inexplicably curled upwards, his emotions unclear.
Do you really want to keep him?
No matter how much you try to please him, he won't eat it.
Ji Ye turned his head coldly.
Instead of Xie Ruan's pitiful pleas for mercy, what she received was just a warm... plum juice.
...
Ji Ye stood still.
The nanny seemed a little lost, so she lowered her head and let her long bangs fall under her black-rimmed glasses. After a long pause, she spoke softly in a low voice, "You need to sober up. You drank a lot."
Xie Ruan's voice was very soft, and she couldn't hear what was coming from the other end of the tablet.
Ji Ye silently took the phone, and seeing that Xie Ruan ignored the call, his mood inexplicably improved. Unexpectedly, Xie Ruan's soft fingers lightly brushed against the side of his fingers.
...
The tingling sensation was like a tiny electric current, traveling through his fingers.
Ji Ye had never experienced this feeling before, but he felt it inexplicably.
His heartbeat quickened.
Ji Ye's Adam's apple bobbed slightly; the dryness made him feel uncomfortable.
The nanny's attitude is so good, he's not incapable of improvement. For example, regarding the bite mark he just left, he could call a doctor to take a look.
Ji Ye felt that his actions were not out of concern for the nanny.
Rather, he was afraid that the scheming nanny in front of him would try to extort money from him later.
It's better to draw a clear line now than to get involved later.
Anyway, no one else will come to this villa except him.
No one will throw money at this nanny.
The nanny's attempts to seduce people are likely to backfire.
Ji Ye kept a straight face. When he glanced at the pretty little red mole on Xie Ruan's neck and shoulder, he clearly noticed his own breathing suddenly becoming disordered, but he still kept a straight face and tried his best to maintain it. Then he looked in Xie Ruan's direction.
Before Ji Ye could say anything, he heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of the tablet.
Across the tablet: "What are you calling me, sir?"
On the other side of the tablet: "Call me brother, call me, Brother Jingchi."
...
Even if Ji Ye's hearing is usually not very good.
He also heard it; the person on the other end told Xie Ruan to call him Brother Jingchi.
Who else could possibly have Xie Ruan's contact information, especially someone like Jingchi who makes phone calls on a tablet?
Zhou Jingchi.
Another employer.
This nanny is really something else; she flirted with him and is now trying to hook up with Zhou Jingchi.
Even though this matter had nothing to do with Ji Ye, his breathing became erratic after hearing the news.
Even my thoughts are in disarray.
Even the steps that were just about to stop suddenly froze in place.
Ji Ye seemed to be just going to listen to Xie Ruan and Zhou Jingchi talk like that.
Unaware of what was happening, Xie Ruan simply lowered her head in embarrassment, her fair cheeks flushed, and breathed very softly.
Xie Ruan didn't seem to want to talk about it.
That's how Ji Ye figured it out.
The nanny didn't even call him "brother".
How could I possibly call that rough-looking guy Zhou Jingchi "brother"?
Ji Ye had just finished comforting himself.
Then, Xie Ruan spoke in a low voice: "Brother..."
A light laugh came from the other end: "Say it again."
Xie Ruan: "Jingchi, brother..."
...
The air seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant.
Xie Ruan was still innocently answering the phone, a call she couldn't refuse.
It turned out that Ji Ye had suddenly gone crazy.
With a "bang".
As if venting some kind of dissatisfaction, he threw all the cups on the table into the trash can.
