Chapter 13 - Chapter Nine: Misunderstood Identity

Cheng Huan tidied up a bit. Since this house was rightfully hers, she naturally moved in without hesitation. Although she was honest, she had a bold spirit, perhaps influenced by her upbringing in a challenging environment. With her parents passing away early, she had to rely on herself for everything. At just 21 years old, she had a mature mindset, devoid of naivety and fanciful dreams. Practicality was her focus – no dreams, especially those that couldn't be realized.

After organizing the first floor, Cheng Huan turned her attention to the second floor. The furniture here was newly bought, but it didn't seem like it was specifically prepared for her. How could a girl like black and white colors? Yet, every piece of furniture was in these two colors, contrasting sharply but with a clear hierarchy. It seemed professionally designed, with a unique taste and distinct personality. It looked more like a man's room, lacking any feminine touch. Cheng Huan couldn't help but sigh softly. Despite the color deviation, as long as it was practical, it was fine.

Opening the curtains on the second floor, she was greeted with a vast view. Cheng Huan felt her mood brighten, but soon, her smile became somewhat stiff, followed by surprise, and then embarrassment. The glass directly faced the neighboring swimming pool. At this moment, a robust figure was moving through the clear pool water. The glossy, bronzed skin and strong physique left Cheng Huan stunned. Her eyes were fixed on that scene, unable to look away.

Seeing a man naked for the first time, Cheng Huan's face blushed. Her heart beat irregularly, and she hastily pulled the curtains, unwilling to continue watching. Her breathing became slightly rapid, and she couldn't help but complain. How could that man undress so cleanly? Wasn't he afraid of being exposed? Or did he have extraordinary confidence in his body?

Cheng Huan let out a long sigh, shook her head, and descended to the first floor, pushing away those images from her mind, burying herself in the busy work of organizing the house.

She retrimmed the garden, swept away the fallen leaves on the floor, meticulously tending to every detail that displeased her. This was her personality, adhering firmly to her own standards.

After a busy morning, Cheng Huan felt like she was about to collapse. She searched through all the kitchen cabinets and, to her despair, found not even a bottle of water. Now, she was not only exhausted but also hungry!

Helpless, despite feeling sore all over, she had to drag her tired body out to buy some food.

Just as she stepped out not far from the house, she suddenly heard the sound of a car starting behind her. Cheng Huan was slightly startled and turned to see the handsome neighbor seemingly heading out as well. A glimmer of hope sparked in her heart. She wondered if he could take her to the intersection. There was no way to catch a taxi here, and it was over an hour's walk to leave this villa complex. She was practically unable to move due to hunger.

Thinking this way, Cheng Huan saw the imposing black car approaching her. She quickly reached out to hail it.

Unfortunately, to her disappointment, the car passed by her without stopping. Cheng Huan felt a sense of frustration. Although she could tell he was not the sociable type, there was no need to be so cold!

Just as Cheng Huan was frowning in distress, the car swiftly reversed at an alarming speed, almost causing her to jump!

The window rolled down slowly, and before Cheng Huan could speak, a low, chilly, magnetic voice came from inside the car, sounding somewhat impatient, "Hurry up and get in!"

Cheng Huan was momentarily stunned. Although she was seeking help, the tone seemed a bit too strong. She bit her lip and reluctantly thanked him, "Thank you for your help!"

"No need!" The man dropped a curt remark. In the instant Cheng Huan closed the door, the car shot out like a meteor, startling Cheng Huan, her face turning pale!

As they reached the intersection, Cheng Huan requested to get off. The man didn't insist, but with an extremely indifferent tone, he asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to buy groceries and cook," Cheng Huan forced a smile and replied in a low voice.

"A housekeeper?" The man raised an eyebrow slightly, turning his head to glance at Cheng Huan with a faint gaze beneath his sunglasses, making it difficult to read his eyes.

"Uh, I'm actually—"

"I'll hire you for a month, and you can name your salary," the man interrupted Cheng Huan before she could finish her sentence, lazily speaking.

"I'm not trying to—"

"Is it not enough? I can add more," the man didn't give Cheng Huan a chance to explain, continuing with that crisp and indifferent tone.

Cheng Huan widened her bright eyes, half-squinting, and chuckled, "Do you need a housekeeper, sir?"

"Do you want to work for me?" The man responded with a question, his tone growing a bit impatient.

"Uh... well, since I'm on vacation this month with nowhere to go, I'll work for you! But..."

"Get in the car!" The man remained resolute and domineering, seemingly uninterested in hearing any unnecessary explanations, giving a curt command.

Cheng Huan suppressed her dissatisfaction, completely surrendering to the handsome guy in front of her. What kind of work did he do? Why was his attitude so forceful and domineering? Just because she agreed to be his housekeeper, did that make him her boss?

Cheng Huan sighed lightly as she sat back in his car. If it weren't for the fact that she had nowhere to go this month, she wouldn't want to sit here and listen to his commands. But thinking about it, she felt a bit pitiful. While others enjoyed their vacations traveling and having fun, she could only stay at home. Fortunately, she now had a room of her own.

"Um... let me make it clear. I only have a month. If you need someone to stay for a few more months, I hope you consider finding someone else. I have to go back to work next month and won't have time to..."

"Do you know you're very annoying? I don't care about your schedule and personal life. I just need someone to cook and clean, that's it!" Lan Pinyu felt annoyed by this abrasive woman. It was a straightforward task, but she had to complicate it.

"Okay, where are we going now?" Cheng Huan compromised a bit, nodding.

"To buy things!" Sexy thin lips uttered three words briefly, and the car swiftly plunged into the crowd, raising a cloud of dust.
