Five days had passed.
During these few days of staying in Lu Jiang's house, she had been given the same treatment as the president's wife.
She used the highest quality hair and skin-care products, ate the best able-to-be bought foods, and had people to serve her like she was the madam of the family. The best part was, the only thing she had to do in exchange of these was tend to the flowers!
Yes, she felt guilty for imposing into someone's house so she decided to propose her tending to the flowers in exchange for the stay. If she didn't have injuries then of course she would propose something more useful. However, she still had to recover and couldn't do too much handiwork.
Although working with the flowers seemed easy, the garden was larger than the average middle class man's house, and that would mean the watering of every plot of land while walking a large distance. Every time she finished she would feel the sweat dripping down to her cheeks and the beautiful scene made the passerbys blush in excitement.
Today was the day she had to leave since she was recovered fully. It's amazing how money can make someone ragged and sickly turn into a person even healthier than the average man.
Finishing with the packing of the suitcase given to her, she readily went to say a goodbye to her room and turned to walk out.
Right when she was ready to turn the doorknob of the bedroom there was a knock.
"Mei Ling, are you done?" a cold voice was heard.
Opening the door, the man was suddenly awed by what came into his vision. In view, there was an ethereal angel with jet black hair that flowed down to her waist, with large, innocent, yet seductive eyes, pupils that were black but also seemingly transparent, and delicately plump lips.
"May I ask for your name, miss? Lu Jiang murmured.
When he didn't get an answer, his eyes suddenly caught a beautiful, dainty mole under her right eye.
"Mei Ling?!" Both his voice and his expressions showed how incredulous he was. With his mouth still open down to the ends of the earth, she hummed softly "Mmm?"
"Y-you are Mei Ling?"
"Yes," her eyes twinkling.
Although she was living his house this entire time, they did not meet after their brief encounter. When she had to ask for permission for tending the flowers, she had to email him in order to get a response. His home obviously showed, he was a rich man, and that meant he would have a busy job. If you had a garden as big as a house, would you even bother worrying about a nobody you randomly saved? The answer was No!
As such, he had not seen the miracle of her recovery in these few days. The maids and butlers that have seen her around the house had the fortune of seeing the phenomenon and were still secretly gossiping about whether she was actually an angel coming from heaven to grace them with her presence. Mei Ling had also treated them fairly and was much more gentle than those women that came to bother their boss which made them mournful to see her go.
Breaking out of his obvious trance, he uttered "Sorry, I was just a bit shocked at your big change! I came to ask you if you wanted to stay! I thought that if you, a lone-girl who would suddenly live in the outside without any support, you would have trouble adjusting and would easily get tricked by those bad people!"
He was entrapped by her looks, yes, but indeed he had thought for her well-being before he saw her appearance. The genuine look in his eyes showed that he truly was not a pervert and did not have any malicious intentions.
Mei Ling mused. Just a bit shocked? If only you had seen your own expression! And you came to ask if I wanted to stay? Of course I will! I was just waiting for that! I feel guilty, but I of course will do whatever I can for my own survival. However, you had been so nice to me even when I was helpless and weak. When the time comes, I will pay you back tenfold!
