Zhou Qi walked down the corridor, holding his phone and asking the person inside, "Is that woman named Lu Xiaoyou clean?"
Shi Yan's voice was languid, "Before Mr. Long laid a finger on her, she was but a pure little flower bud~"
Zhou Qi still furrowed his brows, "I'm still a bit worried."
"Worried about what?" Shi Yan was dismissive, "Perhaps, the little flower bud can cure Mr. Long's illness~"
Zhou Qi felt it was inappropriate, a man like their Mr. Long, not to mention that with his status he could swagger across Beijing and commit murder or arson without anyone daring to intervene.
With Mr. Long's top-tier appearance alone, why would he need to sully himself with a courtesan from the Secret Garden?
"She has the ability to cure Mr. Long's illness?" Zhou Qi was skeptical.
"Look, didn't she cure Mr. Long's abstinence?"
Zhou Qi pursed his lips, his boss's inviolable status shouldn't allow it to be defiled by such a woman!
"Mr. Shi, you must ensure that woman is clean, and from now on, she can only serve our boss."
"Understood." A woman of Long Xiliang, even if someone in Beijing had the guts to ten times over, they wouldn't dare to touch her.
-
Not long after the man left, Bai Dongye arrived, Lu Xiaoyou was now under his jurisdiction.
Bai Dongye instructed Lu Xiaoyou on the things to pay attention to during her day away from the Secret Garden, she must not accept clients privately without the Garden's permission, she must take the Garden's car wherever she goes, and she must not leave the driver's sight.
She must leave the Secret Garden at 10 a.m. tomorrow and return by 8 p.m. that evening.
"What brand is the car picking me up?" asked Lu Xiaoyou.
"Toyota SUV."
Lu Xiaoyou snorted, she was not quite satisfied, "Get me a car that costs around twenty to thirty thousand."
Bai Dongye had little expression on his face, his tone cold, "As someone from the Secret Garden, it's more than enough to go out in an SUV."
Moreover, she was a woman related to Long Xiliang.
"I'm not returning home in triumph, why should I ride in such a nice car? I need to keep a low profile~"
Shi Yan had ordered that any reasonable requests from Lu Xiaoyou were to be granted, and her wanting a cheaper vehicle was clearly not unreasonable.
"Understood, I'll prepare it for you," Bai Dongye finished his instructions, but he showed no intention of leaving.
He watched Lu Xiaoyou, seated on the sofa, a young woman wearing a black knee-length spaghetti strap dress, sitting cross-legged, holding a fruit plate in one hand and a plastic fork in the other.
Lu Xiaoyou was truly hungry, after being trapped in the bathroom by Long Xiliang for more than an hour, the energy she expended nearly deprived her of the strength to dress.
She chewed on watermelon, her left cheek puffing slightly like a hamster savoring a delicious treat.
Several strands of her ink-black hair clung to her face, making her small face appear even more pale and pure.
"Mr. Bai, do you have anything else to instruct?" Lu Xiaoyou looked at him.
Bai Dongye stared into her dark grape-like eyes, and still asked, "Why do you want to go home?"
"Of course, I miss my family~"
"You're lying," Bai Dongye's tone was devoid of much emotion.
"Mr. Bai, are you very familiar with my... home?"
Bai Dongye didn't speak. As he was about to leave, he spoke to Lu Xiaoyou without turning back, "It's better for you to have less contact with that home of yours."
After he said this, he left the room.
The soft hamster crawled out from behind the sofa cushion, "Master, I also don't understand why you want to return to the original owner's home. Aren't you afraid the original owner's family will notice something's off with your personality?"
"You're questioning my acting skills?" Lu Xiaoyou ate her watermelon, her voice carrying a hint of a domineering attitude.
The white hamster quickly shook its head, "No, of course not..."
Lu Xiaoyou hummed lowly, "Since I dare to go back, naturally I'm not afraid of the original owner's relatives finding out."
Besides, a young woman sold into the Secret Garden, subjected to cruel treatment for half a year, it wouldn't be surprising that her personality had drastically changed.
"But what are you going back there for?" asked the white hamster.
Lu Xiaoyou raised the corners of her lips, a cold light flickering in the depths of her eyes.
