Chapter 2138: Chapter 2140: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

In the white little villa across the street, although it was clearly March and the weather in Mahali was not cold, the fireplace in the living room was burning brightly, with the temperature in the room at least 27°. The entire living room was warmly and tastefully decorated, and a man dressed in home wear sat on the coffee-colored leather sofa, a blanket draped over his legs, his beautiful hand grasping the handle of a coffee cup, gazing far into the distance.

After the Filipina maid closed the door and came in, she changed from the relaxed demeanor she had when talking to Jiang Nuan outside. She placed her hands carefully by her sides, taking small, gentle steps as she walked in, seemingly afraid of disturbing the person inside.

"Sir, the neighbor across the street sent a cake to thank you."

The man on the sofa moved slightly, his voice unexpectedly charming, "Leave it somewhere."

"Okay."

The Filipina maid carefully placed the cake on the coffee table and added, "This cake is very famous in Mahali. Their honey cake is delicious, but difficult to buy; you have to queue to get it. The young lady living across the street must have queued specially to buy it and brought it over after seeing the fish at the door."

She had been in Mahali for a long time, helping out in many households and had seen many types of people.

But the master she was serving this time was very strange, not difficult to get along with but too easy to get along with. On her first day, he had clearly marked what she needed to do and what he didn’t like, and she just needed to follow the tasks on it. After she honestly did it for a while, the sir even increased her pay.

But she still felt this master’s household was quite strange, not weird in a bad way but a lot of habits were strange.

For instance, she knew the sir was here in Mahali for recovery because of a leg injury, but she rarely saw a doctor coming over for a check-up nor did she see the sir going out to the hospital.

Then there was the fact that she frequently saw him sitting on the living room sofa, staring blankly at the other side, and occasionally asked her to deliver things there.

Although these were always small items, she still couldn’t quite understand why they were often given away for free.

Her gaze fell on the binoculars tossed beside the sofa, once again showing a curious expression.

Could these binoculars see the little garden across the street?

Suddenly, a sharp gaze enveloped her head.

"Do you remember the contract I showed you on the first day? You only need to do your job properly to receive a salary twice as high as usual. Do you know why that part of the salary is higher?"

"It’s higher for not looking at things you shouldn’t look at, not asking questions you shouldn’t ask, and not being curious about things you shouldn’t be curious about."

The Filipina maid held her breath and dared not look around, lowered her head, and apologized in shame, "I’m sorry, sir."

The man on the sofa sat with his back turned and picked up a financial magazine from the table, asking, "Have you handed over the dog to her?"

Only then did the Filipina maid dare to breathe and speak, "I told her what you wanted me to say, and she agreed."

The oppressive feeling in the air suddenly eased significantly.

The man on the sofa moved, seemingly in a pretty good mood, turned a page, and instructed, "Don’t make dinner this afternoon. Make me a cup of coffee, I’ll have cake for dinner."

The Filipina maid really wanted to say you didn’t like sweets. Last time, she made Mahali’s local specialty fruit milk pudding, but the sir didn’t touch a bit. Why now did you decide not to have dinner but have cake?

Then she glanced at the honey cake on the table sent by Jiang Nuan and felt she understood.

It indeed had something to do with the neighbor across the street.

Although she didn’t know what kind of relationship the neighbor had with their sir, she always felt the sir knew that young lady.
