Shi Yan glanced at the stairs of the villa, "Why are you taking Song Jing back to Huo's house?"
"Song Jing met the second young lady of the Xiao family at the port." The following words are self-evident.
Huo Chengxuan waved, and the butler stepped forward, "Mr."
"Prepare an apology gift and send it to Qingfeng's house. Just say that it's not my fault that you missed the appointment today, and I will come and apologize another day."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded and went down to do the work.
Shi Yan frowned and said no more about the matter, "Which floor does Song Jing live on?"
"Third floor."
Shi Yan's eyes darkened, the third floor was Huo Chengxuan's private place.
Huo Chengxuan smiled and said, "Master Shi, are you unhappy?"
"You should bring me and Jing together now."
"After all, the sooner Jing can fall in love with someone else, the better it will be for Jing."
Shi Yan's heart felt like he was stabbed by a knife, but his face didn't reveal anything, "When will you leave for Shuiyun Peak?"
"The day after tomorrow." Huo Chengxuan did not hide this from him.
"I will pretend to be your bodyguard the day after tomorrow." After Shi Yan said that, he turned around and left the living room.
"Master Shi." Huo Chengxuan called him, "You are so indecisive. If Jing finds out, are you sure you won't regret it?"
Shi Yan's eyes shrank and he left the living room without responding.
Of course he didn't want Song Jing to know this, but Song Jing was right in front of him, and it was hard for him to resist getting close to Song Jing.
It was as if half of his soul was pulled by reason, warning him to stay away from Song Jing. But the other half was pulled by emotion, wanting to get closer to Song Jing, and then get closer.
Sometimes, Shi Yan feels like he's about to suffer a schizophrenia.
After Song Jing washed up and went downstairs, he happened to see a figure walking out of the door next to the living room.
For a moment, she even felt in a daze that the figure from behind looked a bit like Shi Yan.
But this feeling of trance was fleeting.
At this time, Shi Yanren was in Feng Country, how could he appear in Wujing State.
What's more, Shi Yan and Huo Chengxuan both wanted to take each other's lives. Even if Shi Yan came to Wujing State, there was no way he would show up at the Huo family.
Song Jing turned his attention back. Huo Chengxuan had already seen her, got up and walked over, "Are you hungry?"
"Let's go, let's go to the dining room to eat first."
Song Jing couldn't help but ask, "Who went out just now?"
"My bodyguard, what's wrong?" There was no flaw in Huo Chengxuan's expression.
"nothing."
Huo Chengxuan smiled and said, "If you don't like it, I will ask him not to stay here. The original arrangement for him to escort the Bingyu Bed to Shuiyun Peak was also cancelled."
"That's your person, it has nothing to do with me."
Song Jing turned around and walked to the dining room.
"I don't want to hurt others because of myself. Jing, you are still so duplicitous." Huo Chengxuan first pulled out a chair and motioned for Song Jing to sit down.
Song Jingquan pretended not to notice, pulled out another chair next to him and sat down, "Don't think you know me very well."
Huo Chengxuan sat down on the chair that was pulled out, and the servants brought the prepared meals one after another, and then quietly retreated.
Huo Chengxuan poured two glasses of red wine from the wine dispenser, took one glass and put it next to Song Jing's hand.
"I don't drink red wine." Song Jing doesn't like drinking red wine, and he drinks beer if he wants to.
"I don't live here all the time. It's not like the manor has beer for you." Huo Chengxuan picked up the chopsticks and put the vegetables on the plate in front of Song Jing.
In the past, he mostly used knives and forks when eating by himself, and only used chopsticks when eating with Song Jing.
"Eat some vegetables, don't just eat meat."
Song Jing frowned, "Huo Chengxuan, am I too gentle with you today? Do you think you can control me? Don't pick up food for me."
"Jing, do you still remember the deal between us?" Huo Chengxuan put down his chopsticks and folded his hands on his beautiful chin, "You have to promise me three things."
"What do you want me to do for you? Just tell me." Song Jing didn't even frown.
Huo Chengxuan just asked her to kill someone or steal something, and Song Jing could do this.
"First thing, I want you to break up with Shi Yan."
Song Jing paused slightly as he put the vegetables into his mouth, and then put the meat into his mouth again.
She didn't answer immediately, and Huo Chengxuan didn't seem to be in a hurry and didn't rush her.
Song Jing finished the food on the plate and said, "Okay."
She had already mentioned breaking up with Shi Yan during the exchange conference, and it didn't matter whether she agreed to Huo Chengxuan now or not.
The reason why Song Jing paused was because when she mentioned Shi Yan, her heart still felt as if it had been stabbed by dense needles.
Huo Chengxuan's originally smiling mouth softened when he heard Song Jing's answer.
He stared at Song Jing as he ate and didn't speak again for a long time.
The banquet had such an impact on Song Jing's mood that just by mentioning it, a change could be seen in Song Jing's expression.
Huo Chengxuan lowered his eyes, took the red wine next to him, took a sip, and then put it down. His expression returned to normal.
"Second thing, stay with me."
Song Jing didn't think about it at all, "It's impossible."
"Jing, don't forget, you said at that time that no matter what the conditions were, it would be fine." Huo Chengxuan was not surprised by Song Jing's answer.
"Excluding this one, you can change it yourself." Song Jing put down his chopsticks and was full.
"But I only want this one." Seeing Song Jing stand up, Huo Chengxuan added, "Three months."
"If you have been with me for three months and still haven't fallen in love with me, then this deal will be over and the relationship between us will be automatically dissolved." Huo Chengxuan softened his tone again, "Jing, I am not completely in Huo now.
I need your help to get my family back on its feet."
"Besides that, there is the Wuji Society. You should know that they are watching me very closely."
"Jing, people should be polite to each other. I helped you, and you should also help me, right?"
"I can help you, but it's not a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. If you need a girlfriend, you can just find one." Song Jing pondered for a while and backed down.
"You know, I have a mysophobia in this regard." Huo Chengxuan sighed, "Okay, I won't force you. We are not together as boyfriend and girlfriend, but externally we are lovers, is that okay?"
Song Jing frowned, not wanting to agree.
But if she hadn't asked Huo Chengxuan for help, she really wouldn't have been able to find Shi Yan.
And she also praised Haikou at that time, nodding her head and agreeing to any conditions.
"No." Song Jing still couldn't bear it. "I can stay with you for these three months. I can be a servant, a bodyguard, or a nanny, in any capacity. But I can't do this."
"Jing, you are the only one who can bargain with me like this, and you can go back on what you promised." Huo Chengxuan shook his head, "Then you can stay with me as a maid for these three months."
Huo Chengxuan really doesn't need a nanny, she has always been a maid.
Song Jing frowned slightly and lowered his eyes coldly, "Huo Chengxuan, are you plotting against me? Your real purpose is waiting here?"
"Jing, if you regret it and want to stay with me as a lover for three months, I will naturally be happy to do so."
"Don't daydream!" Song Jing said and left.
Huo Chengxuan laughed softly.
He had long known that with Song Jing's character, it would be impossible for her to agree to be his lover for three months, and she would not agree even if it was a fake relationship.
If you can't be a lover, there's nothing wrong with being a maid.
Moreover, between them, Song Jing may not cooperate with what the lovers have to do, but she will always do the work that the maid should do.
Sometimes, if you need to achieve a goal, you only need to feign another, higher, and impossible goal.
Huo Chengxuan raised his hand slightly, and the butler immediately walked into the dining room.
Huo Chengxuan ordered, "Make ten sets of maid outfits according to Jing's size. Make them today and wear them tomorrow."
