"We are friends, but I…" Su Yu was about to say more, but Zeng Rou interrupted him, "Okay. If you truly want to help, rinse the rice for me. I'll go and peel the cucumbers."
She pushed the small pot containing rice into his hands.

"You're too slow for a housemaid. Are you a professional housemaid?" Lu Yan stared at Zeng Rou.
"Miss Lu, she's not a housemaid; she's my… friend," Su Yu explained hurriedly.
"Ah? Friend? President Su, you're very generous to let a female friend live in your house," Lu Yan said slyly.
Zeng Rou looked a bit embarrassed. She had badgered Su Yu to move into the house, but it was still embarrassing to hear people point it out in public.
"Miss Zeng is President Su's girlfriend recommended by his family. It's why she lives here."
