Three years ago?
She frowned and thought for a few seconds. "Three years ago, I studied in A City and still haven't graduated."
"But who did we meet in A City? or what happened? "
"No, I just happened to be studying for Grade 1 that year. Everything went smoothly." As she spoke, she buttoned her shirt.
"Sir, Miss An is fine."
An Xiaoxiao's hands that had just finished buttoning the last button stopped on the spot. She looked at the woman beside the butler in disbelief and answered respectfully.
For a moment she felt like a joke.
She had originally thought that the housekeeper truly cared for her and was completely different from Qin Zian.
Unexpectedly … It was just another way to test himself.
She tried her best to control her emotions as she lowered her head to straighten her collar again and again.
"Miss An." The butler's voice was as friendly as ever.
However, she somehow felt disgusted and faked it.
"What else is there?" An Xiaochu raised her head, her clear eyes as calm as the ashes.
"Miss An, this is an employment contract." Outside the door, a man in a suit and leather shoes was walking toward her with a black folder in his hand.
What kind of play was he singing?
The man handed over the folder, but An Xiao didn't take it. She didn't even bother to look at it.
The file hung in the air.
The butler maintained his smile. "Miss An, the young master wants me to make a deal with you. I hope you can consider it."
This tone was not a discussion, but a request!
"What if I don't?"
"Sign it and you will be free again. Is Miss An really not interested? "
"…" Sly old fox.
But when had she fallen to the point where she no longer had a free body?
"I advise Miss An not to disobey the young master, and not to struggle in vain. "You know the consequences …" He paused before continuing, "Does Miss An want to consider it again?"
An Xiaochu pursed her lips and stared at the document for a full five seconds. Her tensed body instantly went limp as she accepted the document as if she was looking at death in the eye.
She turned to the second page. Party A must unconditionally comply with any requirements of Party B. " His heart skipped a beat. "Wh-what kind of agreement is this?" This was clearly an indenture contract!
She resisted the urge to smash the papers in his face and tried to keep calm.
The butler silently looked at An Xiaochu and saw her face grow uglier and uglier. For the sake of her freedom, I hope that Miss An can consider it. "
Consider? If she really signed this contract, she might not even be able to last two years. What nonsense was there to talk about about about freedom!?
She took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, she was calm.
Pulling out the contract, he looked at the old butler and tore the document into pieces.
"Satisfied?"
An Xiaochu plopped down on the bed and clearly said word by word, "I'm not leaving. At worst, I'll just die here." After he finished speaking, he actually lied on the bed.
The butler really didn't expect such a result.
Initially, he had intended to persuade her further, but upon seeing her calm appearance, he was unable to do so.
Just as he was struggling with himself, the young master's voice came from the headset, "Bring her here."
The butler smiled his signature smile again, trying to persuade him otherwise.
"Miss An, our young master wishes to see you. I'll have to trouble you to come with me."
A trip? Think of yourself as a prisoner entering the police station!
At first, An Xiao lay on the bed unmoved.
The butler was in a difficult position. He couldn't force her to join him, could he?
Just as he didn't know what to do, the young master on the headset suddenly chuckled and said, "Interesting. You can leave first, I have my own arrangements."
The housekeeper slightly nodded his head, then he looked at An Xiaochu who was lying on the bed, and slowly retreated.
The silence in the room was so deep that even a pin dropping could be heard. An Xiaoxiao pretended to inadvertently turn her head and realized that the housekeeper had really left. She then leapt up from the bed.
She moved her stiff body, and her eyes fell on the doorknob not far away.
The door was not locked!
The thought of fleeing quickly flashed through his mind.
She leaned out of the room in surprise.
Good, there's no one on the left!
Before she could turn around, she heard a man's ice-cold voice from behind her. "What is Miss An looking for?"
Then a man in a suit appeared in front of him.
"Nothing." An Xiaochu suddenly had the feeling that she had been caught red-handed. Embarrassed, she revealed a smile. "I, I'm a bit hungry. I was thinking about finding something to eat." "Yes, I'm hungry."
She followed the bodyguard through the luxurious interior of the villa, admiring the mural decorations along the way.
Putting aside the fact that there was something wrong with his mind, Qin Zian truly deserved the evaluation from the outside world. He was young and had great accomplishments, and his taste was first-rate. She had only seen these famous paintings in the European tourist brochures, and now she had actually seen them in real life.
"Miss An, the young master is waiting for you in the restaurant."
While she was still immersed in her lamentation, butler Yao Teng's gentle voice sounded from behind her.
An Xiaoxiao's heart tightened at first, but she still chose to obediently follow him to the dining hall.
At such a big dining table, only Qin Zian sat by himself with an ice-cold expression.
