Chapter 118

Ye Qingfeng, curled up on the sofa, saw that he couldn't wait for Ellen's message, and his stomach was growling, wishing with all his heart that Rina would arrive soon.

He put down his phone and stared at the ceiling in a daze. He didn't know how much time had passed when a crisp knocking sound came from the door.

Ye Qingfeng sat up abruptly, but felt the weakness in his body, only then remembering he was still sick. He had no choice but to wrap himself in the blanket again and walk quickly toward the main door.

With a hint of anticipation, he gripped the doorknob and slowly pulled the door open. A clear figure soon appeared before his eyes, followed by a system announcement.

【Ding! Target for conquest: Alexandrina Sebastiane】

【Initial favorability: 15%】

(This is because someone voluntarily agreed to want to eat Rina's cooking, so the initial favorability is this high; it has nothing to do with the Animal Charm body.)

The person before him had gray-white hair, snow-white skin, and bright red eyes. She wore an exquisite maid outfit with a high-slit design that opened almost to her waist, her long legs in white silk stockings appearing and disappearing from view.

The ribbons and bows on her back were like gift packaging, and the red wine cork decoration on her clothes was also very eye-catching.

She carried a faint smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, giving Ye Qingfeng the image of a gentle and elegant big sister, with a noble and graceful temperament, full of charm.

(Anastasia and Dusura Rina were not brought along; after all, this wasn't work in the Hollow, and knowing in advance that Ye Qingfeng was sick, they were afraid they would disturb him.)

"Dear client, thank you for specifically requesting Victoria Housekeeping. I am the head maid, Rina!"

Rina lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, bowed slightly, and performed an elegant salute to Ye Qingfeng.

So beautiful, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her stunning! Her elegance was permeated with grace, and her grace carried a sense of approachability.

A face good enough to eat, a figure with curves in all the right places outlined by the black fabric, and gray-white hair hanging to her waist—against the backdrop of her hair, her snow-white skin was even more striking.

Ye Qingfeng didn't rush to answer, but tidied his clothes, walked steadily to Rina, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a charming smile.

He slowly knelt on one knee, his movements elegant and fluid, raised his head slightly to look directly into Rina's eyes, and then gently took her slender, fair hand, which was like a fine work of art.

"Hello, I am Ye Qingfeng!"

After a simple self-introduction, Ye Qingfeng pulled her hand gently toward himself, lowered his head slightly, and planted a light kiss on the back of her hand.

Afterward, he still held Rina's hand and stood up slowly with force in his legs, his posture gradually straightening as he rose. "May I ask if Miss Rina is single?"

A flash of surprise crossed Rina's pupils. In the New Eridu of today, very few people would greet someone in this manner; this was the reason for her surprise, and also the reason she didn't pull her hand back rashly.

However, Ye Qingfeng's following sentence made Rina cover her small mouth and let out a crisp laugh like a bell. She narrowed her eyes, looking at him with a smile. "Apologies, little client, Victoria Housekeeping does not support other services~"

Seeing this, Ye Qingfeng felt his previous actions were a bit abrupt and immediately released Rina's hand. "Sorry, I've troubled you..."

However, the disappointment in the depths of his eyes was clearly visible.

Rina clearly sensed Ye Qingfeng's disappointment, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly. She clasped her hands together and smiled apologetically. "I think the client has misunderstood; Victoria Housekeeping does not support 'pretend to be a couple' services."

Bright light suddenly erupted in Ye Qingfeng's eyes, and he looked at Rina with full anticipation.

"However, I myself am still single to this day..." Rina reached out to gently stroke her cheek, her tone carrying a hint of resentment, then immediately changed the subject, looking at Ye Qingfeng with anticipation. "As for me, my only hobby is cooking; if the client can finish it in a bit~"

Rina stopped suddenly before finishing her sentence, blinked at Ye Qingfeng, the meaning self-evident—nothing more than if he could finish it, she would give Ye Qingfeng a chance or something similar.

"In that case, Miss Rina should prepare herself to be pursued by me." Ye Qingfeng puffed out his chest quite confidently, but before he could maintain this posture for two seconds, he couldn't control himself and started coughing. "Cough, cough..."

"Excuse me." Rina stepped directly into the room, closed the door quickly, took a step forward, and gently stroked the back of Ye Qingfeng's hand. "I am so sorry! I actually forgot that the client is sick."

Rina's sudden proximity brought a fresh fragrance that caught Ye Qingfeng off guard, causing him to blush, his body temperature rising uncontrollably.

"Client, you're burning up; let me help you back to your room to lie down!"

"Sorry for the trouble..."

Although Ye Qingfeng's body was burning up because of his shyness, he was still sick after all; only by recovering soon could he continue his "conquest plan," right?

Rina gently supported Ye Qingfeng's arm, bringing him upstairs back to his room. As soon as he entered the room, Ye Qingfeng was dumbfounded.

He had completely forgotten that the room hadn't been tidied up, and the sheets and duvet cover hadn't been washed, making it impossible to sleep.

"Sorry to trouble you, Miss Rina, but could you wait outside for a moment? I need to change the sheets." Ye Qingfeng revealed an awkward but polite smile. "How about Miss Rina goes to make lunch first?"

"I must refuse!" Rina wore a faint smile and rejected Ye Qingfeng's request mercilessly. "Please leave it to me! The client only needs to wait a moment!"

Without waiting for Ye Qingfeng's answer, Rina floated toward the bedside... that's right, she floated over.

No way, how does this make Newton feel?

Oh, right, this is a world after transmigration, it's not under Newton's jurisdiction, so that's fine...

Rina's movements were efficient yet elegant, and she quickly changed into fresh sheets and a duvet cover. Before leaving with the old ones, she said: "Client, rest well; if you need anything, you can call me for help."

"Uh... sorry for the trouble..."

Ye Qingfeng slipped under the covers feeling somewhat uncomfortable; for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of incongruity in his heart.

He never expected that one day, he would be resting on the side while someone else methodically completed the housework.

"Sorry to ask one more thing, the washing machine is in the bathroom, right?"

Rina, who had just walked out the door, suddenly poked her head back in.

"Yes."

"Please rest well, client; I will bring lunch to your room once it's ready."

"Okay..."

Ye Qingfeng watched Rina's departing back, feeling a bit dazed, and pulled the quilt up to lie down properly.

Without a doubt, he had never enjoyed such wonderful treatment, which made him feel inexplicably lost.

No way! This isn't housekeeping service; what's the difference between this and a meticulous nanny! It's just too awesome! He decided to give Victoria Housekeeping a five-star review!

(Cough, cough! This hint~(?????) )
