Chapter 15 My Maid is Having an Affair with My Pet
My first day as a personal maid.
Li Nai made the new bed. She picked up the clean sheets and duvet covers that had been taken off the floor, went into the laundry room, and put them in the washing machine.
Finally, I can take a break.
She went out, rubbing her lower back.
I wonder if Missy is a clean freak? She insists on changing her bedding every three days, and she also sprays on perfume, mixed with the smell of sunshine.
The room must be free of dust and kept in pristine condition at all times. Any room with even the slightest damage must be replaced.
What an extravagant lifestyle! What a waste.
Could she be the worst of the worst among Virgos?
Or is it an allergy to dust, or a stress response to poverty and squalor?
My mind was racing with random thoughts when I opened a mirrored wall door.
The door slid to the side.
She stepped through the door and onto the solid wood floor.
My vision was blurry; I still couldn't shake off the impression of the high-end brand store.
The spacious and bright room, decorated in a luxurious European style, is larger than the bedroom. Two walls are lined with clothes, one wall with shoes, and another wall with hats, bags, and other large accessories.
A leather sofa and a brown glass table are placed in the center of the room. A square gray carpet is laid on the floor.
This is Missyco's separate wardrobe room. It is also her maid's room where she spends the night.
Don't be surprised; as someone present, she was more surprised than anyone else. When she learned that the maid's quarters were arranged here, she exclaimed that her master must have suffered a mental breakdown.
She was like a little mouse that had fallen into a vault, looking around and smacking her lips incessantly.
If there are no missions, following Missy and focusing on being a maid is a good option. Her food, lodging, and safety are the same as her master's.
He knelt on one knee and dragged out a rolled-up bedding from a cabinet.
Shake it out and lay it on the solid wood floor.
Lie down, stretch your limbs, yawn, and roll over.
A pair of fox-like eyes looked at her with a smile.
scare!
"Qi Shuihan!!"
She rolled to the side and bumped into the glass cabinet door.
"It's me."
Qi Shuihan lay on his side on the ground, propping his head up with his hand, and greeted her.
"What are you doing in my room?" Li Nai questioned.
"Your room?" Qi Shuihan glanced around. "A day ago, this was my room."
Li Nai couldn't understand what she meant.
"You despicable woman! Ever since you appeared, I've been banished to the cold palace, left alone in an empty room, enduring the cold words and sarcastic remarks of outsiders." Qi Shuihan pressed her chest, speaking with sorrow, but her face showed no grief whatsoever.
"Stop acting. What do you want from me? I need to hang up the laundry later and check the sanitation this afternoon."
Li Nai didn't believe her at all. The two women were clearly sleeping in the same bed, yet she claimed to be staying there? Did she think Missy could just leave such a beauty as decoration?
Qi Shuihan stood up briskly and walked with practiced ease to a decorative wooden panel near the corner. She pressed her hand down on it and stepped back to make way.
Clatter.
The wooden plank is warped.
The lights inside came on.
"Take your bedding." Qi Shuihan tapped the wooden board with his fingers. "Go inside and sleep."
Li Nai was stunned.
So she really did live here.
"That nightgown is nice; I guarantee you'll sleep soundly."
Qi Shuihan pointed behind her. Turning around, she saw a light purple silk nightgown.
How do you know? Did you wear it?
Li Nai, carrying her rolled-up bedding, passed by Qi Shuihan without going in, but curiously peeked into the space behind the wooden planks.
There are no windows, the lighting is warm, there is a 1.4-meter-wide single bed, a simple table and chairs, a small pear wood wardrobe, and no other decorations.
"you guess."
Li Nai shrank back and glanced at her, "No wonder you were banished to the cold palace."
"I'm not going in. I'll just take a nap here."
She was about to leave when Qi Shuihan pushed her inside.
The wooden board was closed.
Li Nai's hands, which were holding the bedding, tightened. "What, what are you going to do?"
Qi Shuihan tossed her long hair, her eyes sparkling with a seductive smile under the lamplight, as she gradually approached Li Nai.
Li Nai bumped into the cabinet, and Qi Shuihan, who was half a head taller than her, lowered her head, her lightly fragrant silk hair slipping down inch by inch and hanging on both sides of her.
His breath was on her ear.
"Let's discuss the cooperation in detail."
Li Nai pushed the other person away, turned to the side to touch her face, and sat on the bed.
"You should have said so earlier. Don't play these ambiguous games."
The villainous character #1 is very skilled in [illegible] techniques, and has used them to complete many missions. We must remain vigilant at all times.
"You're using so much force." Qi Shuihan rubbed her chest, looking quite frail. "After all, I'm the one who saved you."
"Save me? When have you ever saved me? You never tell the truth."
Qi Shuihan squeezed in next to her.
"Last night, you were dancing with Missyco when you were attacked. I bet you two planned to each take one out."
Qi Shuihan suddenly burst out laughing halfway through his sentence.
Li Nai looked at her as if she were crazy.
"It's hilarious how you hold a gun but don't know how to fire it."
Holy crap! Are you openly mocking someone?
"Don't laugh!"
She laughed even louder, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Li Nai angrily reached out and covered her mouth. The other person seemed to block or pull her away.
The two ended up rolling around in a ball.
Qi Shuihan pressed down on Li Nai.
"Hey, let me get up."
Li Nai looked around at her wrists, which were bound.
No way, they can't do it by force, so they're resorting to coercion? Sister, my back is so tired.
"Want to learn how to shoot? I'll teach you."
Li Nai blinked. "What are you doing, being so kind? Why are you being so attentive?"
"Don't look at me like I'm a bad guy. We're partners in a united front. In this apocalypse, learning to use a gun will be beneficial to yourself and your mission."
"Then please, my good friend, get off me right away."
Qi Shuihan rolled over and lay down beside her, propping her head up with her hand.
"Tell me, how do you plan to win Missy's heart?"
"It's simple, treat her with sincerity. I genuinely treat her well and gain her trust."
She rubbed her hungry stomach. She'd been busy all morning and hadn't had lunch yet. She reached into her pocket and found a packet of strawberry jam-filled toast and a carton of milk.
Qi Shuihan stared at her innocent, silly face, chuckled, and mimicked her first sentence.
"It's simple, it's about exchanging hearts. You think this is just a romance novel? That's all just the author's one-sided fantasy. In the adult world, it's impossible to truly connect with someone. You have to pay a worthwhile price for her."
"So what brilliant idea do you have, Ms. Assassin?"
She was about to take a bite of the toast when Qi Shuihan swiftly moved her hand and stuffed the bread into her own mouth.
“In a few days, Missy will be making a deal with them. You will go with them and protect Missy throughout the process.”
"They won't let me go."
“You don’t need to ask, Missy will definitely take you with him. If I’m not mistaken, the reason Missy treats you so specially must be because he knows your abilities.”
Li Nai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
That explains it. Why were they able to move into the base so smoothly? Everyone was so tolerant of them. Especially Misike, whose attitude and every word and action towards her completely contradicted the rumors of her being a ruthless and vicious woman.
But how did Missy know about her abilities?
The thought that the other party might also know her system identity sent a chill down her spine.
Why is the task so difficult?
"However, I advise you not to use your abilities yet."
"Why?"
“Mishiko is a very suspicious man. If you can, you must give your life for Mishiko.”
"What?!" Li Nai almost jumped up.
Qi Shuihan smiled and held her down.
"Don't get agitated. I'm not really asking you to die. For example, you could take a bullet for Missy and get seriously injured. First, win her over a little. Remember, don't help her too easily. Things that are easily obtained can't withstand a change of heart."
"Oh! I see. If she asks me why I did this, I'll say I fell in love with her at first sight and am willing to die for her."
Qi Shuihan sighed softly.
"Okay then. In short, you must save her at the crucial moment. Don't overdo it, and don't say too many sweet words. Your goal is to make her unable to live without you, both emotionally and physically. You need to make her feel safe and secure, to the point where she can't live without you, and that not seeing you for even a moment feels like the end of the world."
Li Nai gave a thumbs up, "As expected of an experienced assassin."
Qi Shuihan raised his chin and stretched out his hand. Li Nai immediately understood and offered milk and bread.
"Um... what if there isn't that crucial moment? What if I can't seize the opportunity..."
"Don't worry. I'll help you. We're good partners." Qi Shuihan winked at her.
What are you going to do?
Qi Shuihan gestured for her to be quiet. "It's a secret."
Li Nai snatched the bread. He glanced up at the milk he had missed, which was higher than his head. His gaze then shifted to the ceiling, circling around its four corners.
"Hey, are there any security cameras here?"
Qi Shuihan's straw gurgled loudly, her face showing no worry whatsoever. "No way. Why would she install a security camera in a room where she's all alone?"
Li Nai nodded and turned to take a sip of the newly exchanged milk.
A low-key mahogany door with gold patterns was tightly closed, and two fierce-looking men in black stood at the door.
Inside, in a classically decorated European-style office, three people were sitting at a dark brown solid wood desk.
"Yu Tianzun sent a message to postpone the transaction for ten days, saying it was so that you could recover properly."
Ah Liang habitually took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, glanced at Missy, and stuffed the lighter back into his jeans pocket.
"Reply to him. The time remains the same."
"Sister, isn't this inappropriate?" Ah Liang flipped a cigarette between his knuckles.
"Don't try to persuade me. We need to get it as soon as possible. The lab's progress can't be delayed; we have to speed things up."
As she spoke, Missy lifted her laptop.
Move the mouse cursor and click to open the software.
Thousands of surveillance rooms are densely packed together. These are surveillance cameras covering every corner of the base.
Click on one of them and enter the password.
The third record in the last column is enlarged.
In the small room, two women squeezed together on a slightly narrow bed, looking very intimate.
Slide the volume button, but it shows that there is no relevant device.
"Oh? Big sister, aren't these your new maid and your new favorite?"
Liang Ge appeared to the side, glanced at the screen, and couldn't help but grin as he held a cigarette in his mouth. "Could they be having an affair?"
Turning his head, he started teasing the elder in front of him, Sister Hong, who was quietly sipping her wine.
"Sister Hong, go back and give your deceased friend's daughter a good warning. Tell her not to be so fickle. She's hurt my sister's feelings."
Sister Hong took a sip of her drink and glanced at him with a smile. "Don't worry. If she dares to hurt Jinghua's feelings, I'll pluck her hair and kick her out of the house."
"Sister Hong, you've been smoking and drinking too much lately, take care of your health."
Missy glanced at Sister Hong's wine glass briefly before continuing to look at the computer screen, her expression unchanged, the warm lighting in the video reflecting in her eyes.
"Are there any suspects about the person who fired the shot on the second floor?" she asked.
Ah Liang suppressed his smile and shook his head. "This person is very meticulous and left no trace. He must have at least ten years of experience in this line of work."
Missy can think quietly for a while.
"Ah Liang, don't go to the deal a few days from now. You're in charge of bringing up the person behind Qi Laosan."
"Big sister, let me go with you. I can get Smoker to cooperate with Sister Hong at Qi Laosan's place."
Missy looked away from the screen and at A-Liang. "A-Liang, I'm relieved to see you go."
Ah Liang chewed his cigarette butt vigorously. "You're going alone?"
“I will take her with me.”
She pointed to Li Nai in the paused video.
"Her? Can we trust her? After all, she was sent by that person. She's the future heir of the Rose Group, and she's not on good terms with you or me. Who knows what kind of schemes and tricks are hidden beneath that half-blood relation? I think she's more likely Lin Zhijun's puppet. It's best to be careful."
"Have you found out any other information about Li Nai's identity?"
"No. All the information indicates that she was just an orphan who grew up relying on the kindness of others. Her social circle was very narrow, and she had almost no close relatives or friends."
Misike's eyes deepened: "She can't possibly be that simple. However, as long as she's not a superhuman developed by Lin Zhijun, that's fine. I suspect she's a naturally occurring superhuman, or perhaps from some foreign organization. Li Nai is relatively simple-minded and easy to control. As long as I can use her and get Merck to create more Li Nais, she will definitely help me complete my grand plan."
Ah Liang had no choice but to compromise.
Having been with Missy for over a decade, he understood very well that once she made up her mind, no one could change it.
