Chapter 121

"It's Lycaon! I feel like I almost died just now!"

The other end of the line fell into a long silence. After a long while, Lycaon spoke again, "Mr. Ye Qingfeng, I am very sorry that I did not explain in advance."

"If possible, please do not give Victoria Housekeeping a bad review. I am willing to make this commission free of charge, and I will include two additional housekeeping sessions. What do you think?"

Lycaon felt quite helpless inwardly.

When Rina wanted to leave at the beginning, he couldn't stop her, and after she left, he kept hesitating about whether to tell Ye Qingfeng about the relevant matters.

After all, if Rina found out about this, what awaited him would probably be endless fish-head cakes.

To be honest, even he couldn't endure this; it was really... really terrifying!!

"It wasn't that serious, but I accept!" Ye Qingfeng, adhering to the idea that only a fool wouldn't take advantage of a bargain, agreed to Lycaon's request decisively.

"In that case, I look forward to your next request for Victoria Housekeeping." Lycaon breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, and his attitude toward Ye Qingfeng improved quite a bit. "Then, if you have nothing else, I will hang up."

"Nothing else, goodbye!"

"Looking forward to your next request."

As Lycaon's voice fell, he waited for a few seconds on purpose before Ye Qingfeng hung up the phone.

Ye Qingfeng knew clearly that it wasn't as exaggerated as Lycaon said; although the food Rina made tasted bad, very bad, it was still edible—the hard part was getting over the psychological hurdle.

But if he could get Rina's favor just by eating some bad food, then what was there to hesitate about? Don't even mention it, bring it all on!!

Lycaon probably sighed in his heart: Mr. Ye Qingfeng, you are very brave!

After Ye Qingfeng hung up Lycaon's call, he drifted into a deep sleep in no time.

About two hours later, Rina, having finished the housework, pushed the door open slowly.

What met her eyes was Ye Qingfeng's delicate side profile. She walked slowly to the bedside and called out tentatively and softly: "Mr. Ye Qingfeng? Gentleman? Master?"

After three consecutive calls, Ye Qingfeng maintained his steady breathing.

Rina had originally intended to come over to ask for his opinion on afternoon tea, but since he was already asleep, she had no choice but to give up.

However, Rina wouldn't miss such a wonderful opportunity.

This Ye Qingfeng, who had started chatting with her the moment they met, made her feel quite surprised.

If it were just an ordinary chat, Rina wouldn't care too much, but Ye Qingfeng had used old aristocratic etiquette to greet her, which couldn't help but raise a strong sense of curiosity in her heart.

When Ye Qingfeng indicated he would finish the food she made, she felt a sense of anticipation in her heart instead.

To this day, only Ellen had finished the food she made.

Although Rina didn't know why no one liked the food she made, she still enjoyed the process of making food.

Seeing someone finish the food she made made her feel incomparably happy.

Therefore, Rina looked forward to Ye Qingfeng finishing the food she made; after all, her first standard for finding a boyfriend was that the other party could eat the food she made.

When she brought it over after making it, Ye Qingfeng appeared quite resistant, but despite that, he finally ate the fried rice clean! Thinking of this, Rina narrowed her eyes and curled her mouth—so happy!

The afternoon sun spilled onto the bed in wisps through the thin curtains.

Ye Qingfeng's eyes were lightly closed, his eyelashes casting fan-shaped shadows on his eyelids, trembling slightly with his even breathing.

Rina leaned down, examining him at close range, her eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.

Ye Qingfeng's quiet sleeping face was like a vortex at this moment; just one look made it hard to look away. Rina's gaze was involuntarily drawn into it, her eyes gradually becoming a bit softer.

She slowly reached out, gently stroking Ye Qingfeng's cheek, her movements very careful, afraid of waking him inadvertently, and finally cupped his cheek, whispering: "Like a child..."

I don't know how much time passed, but the white clouds in the sky showed a warm orange color under the sunset. Ye Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, sat up abruptly, and looked around with purpose.

However, the empty room no longer had that figure in his heart. He called out tentatively toward the open door: "Rina? Miss Rina?"

Only a long silence responded to him.

"Did she leave?"

A hint of disappointment appeared in the depths of Ye Qingfeng's eyes, but his peripheral vision caught a note on the nightstand. He reached out and took it in his hand with a sense of trepidation, opening it slowly to see rows of delicate handwriting.

Mr. Ye Qingfeng, I saw you sleeping sweetly and really couldn't bear to wake you. I originally intended to ask what flavor of cake you wanted for afternoon tea; what a pity...

Around 17:00 in New Eridu, I finished all the housekeeping work and left directly. Please forgive me. This is my contact information, @%￥##&@……#%@ Please add me on Knock-Knock after you wake up.

Victoria Housekeeping Head Maid Rina.

It's only just six o'clock now! If I had woken up an hour earlier, I could have seen Rina one last time. What a pity, the first hour of missing her...

Ye Qingfeng picked up his phone and added Rina on Knock-Knock, and by the way, sent a message to Nico, asking when they would be back.

But thinking they might still be in the Hollow, he sent a message to Belle to ask.

Immediately after, he opened the Knock-Knock of several others to check their messages, the first being Ellen.

Ellen: Ruby is really something, peeking at my Knock-Knock again, and she even teased me! Brother Qingfeng, look at her!

Ellen: If~ Brother Qingfeng wants to see, you can see it once if there's a chance in the future, but only once! (Shy...)

Ellen: Brother Qingfeng? If you don't reply, I... I won't let you see it!

Ellen: (Ruby pouting in a sulk)!! If you have something to do, tell me in advance next time! Otherwise, I really won't pay attention to you next time!

Ye Qingfeng looked at the message from Ellen, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed; he had to say, it was full of a rich girlish atmosphere.

Although he didn't intentionally not reply to Ellen's message, making her wait so long was indeed impolite, so he hurriedly typed to beg for forgiveness. (Dog head to save life)

Ye Qingfeng: (I won't dare to do it next time! Please forgive me!) To compensate the crying and fussing Ellen, I'll buy you that tail care cream you want!

Ye Qingfeng could, of course, say a few words of apology directly, then act soft and make a promise or something, and Ellen would likely forgive him.

However, if he took this opportunity to give her a high-value item, generally speaking, she wouldn't accept it.

At this time, it was necessary to add some conditions to balance her heart so she could accept the gift he sent.
