Chapter 20: Received: Custom-Made Cotton Maid Outfit (3)
Siyi hesitated for a moment and asked, “Young Master, are you talking about Miss Gu?”
He shut himself up the very next second. Seeing the surprised look in his boss piercing him coldly, he couldn’t help but shrink back a little.
“Yes, I will take care of that,” he said.
Siyi quickly backed out of the room, grabbing Qin Ruhai, who failed on gathering more information, with him.
Huo Sishen looked out the window again with a deep and complicated look.
Through the glass, he could clearly see the girl quickly devouring her lunch in small bites in the dining room and the satisfying look on her face.
Huo Sishen squinted and yanked the curtain shut without any hesitation.
He didn’t need any more lies or any other fake pretense!
Nor did he… need any companionship!

“Eh? He wanted me to help with cleaning?” Gu Shishi look at the butler standing in front of her and was stunned.
She just rolled a fork-full of seafood spaghetti and was about to put them into her mouth.
“Yes, that was Mr. Huo’s request. Miss Gu, this is your schedule for the day.”
Chen Geng, the butler, was a man in his early forties.
He was expressionless just like any other person that she had come across inside the mansion and very standoffish.
Gu Shishi immediately took the schedule from the butler. With one quick look, she could tell it was a tight schedule.
Every hour of the entire afternoon was occupied.
Mop the kitchen floor, clean the stove, change out the flowers in the guest room, clean the couch, gardening…
“Every item will be reviewed by a professional. If your work doesn’t meet the standard, you will need to do it over again. I urge you to be mindful of your time,” said the butler in a very business-like voice.
“The cleaning supplies are in the storage room on the first floor. If you have any questions, you can call the main line and ask.”
Gu Shishi opened her pink lips slightly.
If he was having her do work, does that mean he’s not kicking her out anymore?
Yay! The Male Lead’s Doting LV 1 is quite effective!
Hurray!
“No problem. Thank you for relating this to me, Butler Lin.” Gu Shishi gave him a genuine smile from her heart.
“Ugh, no problem.” Butler Lin seemed to be surprised by her alacrity.
“If there’s nothing else…”
Yes, yes there is! Butler, will the boss…. Ugh… will he pay me a salary for this?” asked Gu Shishi, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
A salary would add to her blood bar!
How come she didn’t think about this earlier?!
She could perform work or take care of household chores in exchange for the boss’s capital~
“Ugh, that… Young Master did not mention.” Butler Lin could barely maintain his emotionless look.
“Oh, alright. Do you think you can find out for me? Thank you~” Gu Shishi blinked eagerly and looked at him filled with excitement.
Butler Lin wasn’t sure how to react to that. He had obviously never encountered anything like this before, “Okay, Miss Gu.”
She saw the butler off with a smile before she put the entire fork-full of spaghetti into her mouth.
Just the perfect savory and fragrance, along with the sweetness of the prawns, the spaghetti slipped smoothly down her throat and warmed her stomach….

Tsk! Totally worth it, and the taste was superb!
This was better than any western food restaurant that she has had in her previous life. As much as she only liked Chinese food, this had changed her opinion on spaghetti entirely. It was very much to her liking.
She rubbed her full belly in satisfaction.
