Chapter 991: Cold-hearted Overbearing CEO's Resentful Butler 04

Jin Chen helplessly lowered his eyes to look at the fingers clutching his clothes.

"Sir, you just said…… okay."

Receiving the displeased look of the overbearing CEO, the butler could only do his duty, passively overstepping boundaries.

Until the warm hand pressed again on his stomach, Gu Han let out a low sigh from his throat, and his fragile expression eased a little.

Jiang Qiandu: "……"

What the hell am I doing here?

And you're saying the two of you aren't playing butler games!

He used the back of his hand to test Gu Han's forehead; seeing no fever, he wasn't worried, opened the medicine box, picked and chose, and while picking, spoke to Jin Chen.

"Since you're the butler and he's okay with you, from now on you must make sure he takes his medicine."

"I originally said to keep a supply of medicine for a while at the estate, but if Gu Han gets emotionally upset, he'll pop pills!"

"You say his stomach is already bad; who could stand having his stomach pumped over and over?"

Jiang Qiandu chattered nonstop, and Jin Chen nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll add medicine reminders to my work list."

Gu Han's face darkened; he didn't forget to glare at Jiang Qiandu, "It's because you talk too much—this month's bonus is gone."

Jin Chen: "……" *pfft*.

He lowered his eyes, holding back laughter, almost unable to contain it.

Jiang Qiandu skillfully took similar medicine, then lectured about his recent irregular lifestyle, saying he needed to balance work and rest.

Then, as if going through the motions, he began to pity Gu Han.

"Your stomach acting up like this seems emotional; could it be that your first love from the UK has returned?"

Gu Han pinched his brow, voice low, "Bai Yunyue and Gu Yeting are together."

Even saying that, he felt it was absurd.

"Huh?!"

Jiang Qiandu's reaction was also very ample.

"Your first love and your little uncle are together?!"

"The UK isn't that small, unless they already……"

Jiang Qiandu was struck by his gaze, made a hand-over-mouth gesture, "I'll shut up."

"Sigh, then your first love is truly out of reach; I advise you to let go and start a new romance."

"Hmm, quite the classic doctor-friend trio."

Jin Chen pressed the sofa's control panel, activated the wall lamp's music mode, turned off the main indoor lights, and the warm wall lamps glowed on, playing melancholy French music.

The overbearing CEO, thinking about why he wasn't as heartbroken as imagined, said: "……What are you doing?"

Jin Chen was very firm: "To match the atmosphere in the living room."

Gu Han: "……"

Jiang Qiandu reacted after two seconds, burst out laughing, slapped his thigh, "Oh wow, this new butler is so interesting!"

"My villa isn't small either; let him come be my butler for a couple days."

Jiang Qiandu deliberately raised his eyebrows, smiling at Gu Han.

Gu Han: "Get lost."

"Alright, Gu CEO, I'll take my leave now, not disturbing your game time."

Jiang Qiandu quickly packed the medicine box, and all the extra medicine he'd opened was stuffed into Jin Chen's hands.

"Use this medicine for insomnia and stomach pain; for any other discomfort, still call me."

He paused, then especially urged, "Please don't call at night; the Gu Clan has its own private hospital."

After he left, only two people remained in the living room.

Gu Han took the medicine and leaned on the sofa, seeming much relieved; he was about to have Jin Chen move his hand.

Before he could even open his mouth, the warm hand covering his stomach had already moved away.

Jin Chen resumed his aloof politeness, with no hesitation at all.

"Sorry, sir, there was a reason for that, but I really did overstep."

Gu Han was somewhat annoyed, "You react quickly."

"Go on down."

"Okay, sir."

Jin Chen slightly bowed, poured another cup of warm water and placed it on the coffee table, then went to carry out his duties.

Such a huge estate, the butler is certainly busy!

But first, I need to move my own luggage that I haven't had time to pack into the butler's residence.

The previous occupant had also worked as a butler, but lived overseas; it was only when Gu Han happened to see his résumé that he bought him back at a high price, demanding just one, to start work immediately.

Speaking of… this also has to do with the previous butler's pretentiousness.

Jin Chen refused the servants' help, carried the two suitcases upstairs, and while unpacking he thought about how to dispel Gu Han's wariness of the butler role.

In a past life, the butler was bribed by the Gu Clan's rival and almost stole the confidential documents Gu Han had hidden in the estate's underground storage safe.

After thinking it over, it's just the two words "interest".

As long as he has no second interest beyond wages with Gu Han, Gu Han shouldn't be overly opposed.

Jin Chen understood this; his few belongings were already packed into the wardrobe, looking still empty, as if he could leave at any moment.

Next, he had to fulfill his butler duties, from planning the basic schedule to coordinating the long-term staffing of servants, maids, chefs, and drivers for the entire estate, and scheduling short-term or temporary visits from sculptors and garden maintenance workers.

After finally settling the overall arrangements, he nonstop went to discuss with the chef the menu that hadn't been updated in nearly half a year, and also needed to place new-season orders with the brands Gu Han usually wears.

And so on, Jin Chen was busy enough to be snappy all afternoon, and he had only finished less than 5% of the arranged tasks.

While working, he kept cursing the former butler in his mind, all the unfinished work piled up, and he spent the whole day thinking about how to harm the employer.

Now it's fine, the mess has become his work.

He deserves to be shot dead by Gu Han!

Again from the System Space, I saw that the domineering CEO Gu Han, who should have been sleeping and resting, had returned to the Study, as if insisting on using work to numb himself.

Jin Chen held the tablet, thought for a few seconds, decisively went to the third floor, but instead of entering the master bedroom suite, he went to the tea room.

Half an hour later, Jin Chen knocked on the Study's door.

"Come in."

"Good afternoon, sir."

Jin Chen put a pot of tea on the mobile tea table and pushed it to Gu Han's desk.

Gu Han glanced at it, saw it was the tea leaves he usually drank, didn't say much, but noticed Jin Chen had no intention of leaving right away.

"Anything else?"

"These are the documents left by the former butler in the drawer, discovered while tidying the front courtyard Western-style building."

Jin Chen handed the documents to him.

Gu Han took it, glanced briefly, then sat up straight, his expression tense, and asked, "Who else has seen this document?"

"I came over as soon as I got the document, and didn't let anyone else handle it."

"And you?"

"Not prying into the employer's privacy is a butler's professional duty; sir, you needn't worry."

Whether true or false, Gu Han couldn't investigate, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You did well."

Jin Chen smiled, poured a cup of tea and set it down, then left the Study silently.

【Host】 This world doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

Jin Chen poked at the tablet, his steps unceasing.

【You have to do so much work, yet you're not in a hurry.】

【...... Next time I'll definitely arrange something easier for you.】0731 embarrassed
