Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Si stood in front of the closed door and chuckled for a while before realizing that the butler was holding a bowl of hot ginger soup and looking at him.

Lu Si suppressed his smile and cleared his throat. “She’s quite naive, isn’t she? Leave the soup aside and give it to her when she’s done.”

“Understood.” The butler didn’t dare to reply to his remarks. He simply acknowledged the latter part and quickly walked away, holding the soup bowl.

Secretary Jiang wasn’t around. They didn’t know Master Si well enough, so they didn’t dare to speak rashly in front of Master Si, especially when he was acting so strangely.

Jiang He had lingered at another villa until the rain stopped before slowly returning.

As he entered, he noticed that Master Si was in a good mood.

He assumed it was because of Miss Mei Shu. Jiang He held out a cup of tea and asked, “Master Si, why is there only you in the living room?”

Lu Si calmly glanced at him and replied, “Aren’t 1 always alone here every day?”

The entire estate housed only Lu Li and his family and Lu Si.

They all knew his personality well, so they rarely disturbed him unless it was necessary.

Lu Si frequently enjoyed solitude and had become a common sight in the villa.

Sometimes, Jiang He saw him like this and felt that he was leading a very lonely life.

Lu Si didn’t like going to entertainment venues and rarely socialized with people outside of work, except for his elder brother, Lu Li. He didn’t even have any friends to talk to.

Every day, he was faced with an endless amount of work.

However, ever since he met Mei Shu, it seemed as though his life had brightened up.

This allowed Lu Si to have someone to chat with and share meals with during his free time.

So Jiang He had always had immense respect for Mei Shu.

He could see that she held a special place in Lu Si’s heart.

Now, upon hearing Lu Si’s remarks, Jiang He knew he was being his usual arrogant self. So, he directly asked, “Did Miss Mei Shu not come back with you?”

“She’s already gone to her guest room to sleep,” Lu Si replied calmly.

Jiang He felt that if Lu Si had had a tail, he must have been wagging it right now.

But the crucial question was, Mei Shu wasn’t with him in the living room at the moment, so why was he so pleased?

Had something significant just happened without him knowing?

To understand Lu Si’s mood and to be able to guess his thoughts at any given moment, Jiang He discreetly went to the butler to inquire about what had transpired earlier.

“Oh, you’re asking about Miss Mei Shu.”

The butler blushed at the memory of the scene earlier.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang He became even more curious. “What happened? Please, tell me!”

The butler stole a glance at Lu Yan and appeared hesitant. “It’s nothing, really. It’s just that after Miss Mei took a bath earlier and had a bowl of ginger soup, she accidentally spilled it on her clothes.”

“Is that all?” Jiang He clearly didn’t believe it.

The butler looked conflicted and seemed to be unsure whether he should reveal everything he had seen.

Jiang He, impatient with curiosity, urged him, and his curiosity felt like a persistent itch that he couldn’t ignore.

Unable to resist, the butler finally spoke frankly, “Well, actually, it’s the clothes Miss Mei changed into after her bath. Master Si had a sudden idea not long ago and had the servants prepare them. We thought they were meant for someone else, that Master Si had taken a fancy to a young lady. But to our surprise, he casually had them brought out for Miss Mei to wear today.”

“Later, when her clothes got dirty by accident, Master Si had someone take out his shirt and lent it to Miss Mei temporarily…”

The butler couldn’t go on at this point.

When Master Si saw Miss Mei wearing his shirt earlier, his eyes nearly popped out.

If he hadn’t asked about the fit at that moment, the two of them might have…

The butler felt more and more guilty the more he thought about it.

Master Si was already an adult man and had never shown interest in any young lady before. Now, he had finally taken this step, and yet he had inadvertently ruined it.

He seriously considered the possibility that Master Si might fire him tomorrow when he realized what had happened!

Jiang He nodded thoughtfully after hearing the butler’s explanation. “I understand. Alright, butler, you can go rest now. I’ll stay here with Mr. Si.”

“All, Secretary Jiang, with you here, we have a backbone!”

If Jiang He had been here earlier, he wouldn’t have made such a mistake and offended Mr. Si!

Jiang He smiled reassuringly at him. “Although Master Si can be strict and ruthless at times, he is still reasonable. You don’t need to be so afraid of him.”

The butler couldn’t help but feel bitter inside.

Just those two things Jiang He mentioned were enough to make them all anxious all day long!

After Jiang He persuaded the butler to leave, he stayed by Lu Si’s side to attend to him.

“Master Si, I received a call from the driver earlier. Due to tonight’s hailstorm, the driver had a family emergency, and he won’t be able to take Miss Mei Shu to school alone tomorrow.”

Lu Yan’s hands paused, and a hint of happiness appeared in the corners of his eyes and brows. “That’s alright, it’s not a problem. Tomorrow, she can ride in my car..”
