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 Xiaochu stopped buttoning the last piece and looked at the woman beside the butler in disbelief as she answered respectfully.
For a moment she felt like a joke.
He originally thought that the butler really cared for her and was completely different from Qin Ziang.
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 were actually 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 passed the folder over, but An Xiaochu didn't accept it, she didn't even bother to look at it.
The file hung in the air.
The butler maintained his smile and said, "Miss An, 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. Miss An is 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 needlessly struggle. "You know the consequences …" He paused for a moment, then asked: "Miss An, do you want to reconsider?"
An Xiaochu pursed her lips, staring at the document for a good five seconds, her tensed up body instantly went limp, as though she was looking at death in the eyes and took the document in her hands.
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 quietly looked at An Xiaochu, and saw her expression turning uglier and uglier. For the sake of my freedom, I hope that Miss An can carefully 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 stated word by word, "If I don't leave, I'll just die here." After she finished speaking, she 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 trouble you to come with me."
A trip? Think of yourself as a prisoner entering the police station!
An Xiaochu laid on her bed, unmoving.
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 butler nodded his head, looked at An Xiaochu who was lying on the bed and slowly retreated.
The room was so quiet that even a drop of a needle could be heard. An Xiaochu pretended to turn her head carelessly and realized that the butler had really left.
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 he could turn his head, he heard a man's ice-cold voice sound out from behind him, "What is Miss An looking for?"
Then a man in a suit appeared in front of him.
"Nothing." An Xiaochu suddenly felt as if she had been caught red-handed, and embarrassedly pulled out a smile, "I, I'm a little hungry, so I wanted to go out and find 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 Ziang was really worthy of the evaluation from the outside world. He had only seen these famous paintings in the European tourist brochures, and now he had actually seen them in real life.
"Miss An, the young master is waiting for you in the dining hall."
While she was still immersed in her lamentation, butler Yao Teng's gentle voice sounded from behind her.
An Xiaochu's heart tightened, and still chose to obediently follow him to the dining hall.
In such a large dining table, only Qin Ziang sat by himself, with an ice-cold expression on his face.
