Chapter 2:
As Ning Wenrou battled with her inner turmoil, Lin Chuan leisurely strolled around his house.
He had to admit—his villa was massive.
There were two floors above ground and two below.
A study, a game room, a gym, a billiards hall… Everything one could imagine was present.
The villa even came with a thousand-square-meter courtyard, complete with an outdoor swimming pool in the backyard. The original owner often hosted pool parties with his frivolous friends there.
What was even more absurd was that such a huge house had only one resident—himself.
Well, now there was also a little maid.
But even so, there were only two people living here.
Too extravagant.
Utterly excessive!
“Master, shall I help you change your clothes?”
Just as he was wandering around in his pajamas, Ning Wenrou hurried after him.
Duang~ Duang~ Duang~
“Change into what?”
Familiar with the original novel’s plot, Lin Chuan was very wary of this beauty and didn’t want her getting too close.
But Ning Wenrou approached him with a gentle smile, tilting her delicate face slightly upward. “Aren’t you planning to propose to Miss Lu today? Of course, you need to dress up properly in advance.”
Seeing her eagerness, Lin Chuan became even more suspicious. “Who said I’m proposing to her? A proposal? What nonsense. If anything, she should be the one proposing to me.”
Ning Wenrou was stunned.
What was wrong with this good-for-nothing second-generation heir now?
Just yesterday, he had been fawning over Lu Chaoge like a lovesick fool, and now he was acting like a completely different person?
What should she do?
If she couldn’t help him change his clothes, she wouldn’t be able to complete her system task.
Biting her lip, she had no choice but to resort to her ultimate weapon—tears.
In an instant, her eyes welled up with tears. “Master, do you hate me that much?”
Lin Chuan sneered inwardly.
If he hadn’t known from the novel that she actually despised him, he might have been fooled by her performance.
However, he didn’t let his thoughts show. “Who said that? You’re so cute, how could I possibly dislike you?”
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched her soft, flawless cheek.
“Ouch!”
Ning Wenrou flinched in pain, hurriedly covering her face while clenching her fists tightly.
If not for the system mission, she would have fought him to the death.
“Since Master doesn’t dislike me, why won’t you let me help you change?”
“Fine, fine, I’ll change, okay?”
Lin Chuan smirked as he studied her. He wanted to see what exactly she was up to.
The two of them entered the walk-in closet.
Lin Chuan’s wardrobe was over a hundred square meters, with clothing, shoes, ties, belts, sunglasses, and more neatly arranged.
“Master, what color would you like to wear today?” Ning Wenrou asked, her small hands folded in front of her, her voice gentle and pleasant.
“Black,” Lin Chuan answered carelessly. He wasn’t particular about clothing.
“Would you prefer formal or casual?”
“Casual.”
“Then do you—”
“Enough already! Why is getting dressed such a hassle?”
Lin Chuan couldn’t take it anymore. Normally, he just picked something clean from a pile of dirty clothes. He never put this much thought into it.
“I’m sorry, Master. It’s my fault. Please don’t be mad at me, okay?”
Terrified of receiving a poor rating, Ning Wenrou anxiously bowed repeatedly.
This only made Lin Chuan more confused.
This woman was completely different from how she was described in the novel.
Where did things go wrong?
“Alright, hurry up and help me change.”
He decided to observe her a bit longer. If he detected any threats, he wouldn’t hesitate to take action.
Ning Wenrou selected a black casual suit for him and carefully turned to face him. “Master, please take off your pajamas.”
Without hesitation, Lin Chuan shrugged off his golden robe and tossed it onto a nearby rack.
In the full-length mirror, his reflection was strikingly handsome.
Not the delicate, pretty-boy type, but a rugged, chiseled sort of handsome.
A quick glance was enough to impress, and a closer look only deepened the admiration.
Despite the original owner’s indulgent lifestyle, he had managed to maintain a well-proportioned physique—not overly muscular, but defined and lean.
The novel had been very generous to this villain.
Not only had it given him an exceptional family background, but also an unparalleled appearance.
Of course, as someone who had read thousands of web novels, Lin Chuan understood this trope all too well.
The villain was showered with wealth and good looks, only to be utterly humiliated by the protagonist later.
Ning Wenrou, too, was momentarily mesmerized.
Her heart pounded wildly.
She had to admit, in terms of appearance alone, this man was the very definition of elegance and refinement.
It was just a shame that his character was rotten to the core.
Noticing Lin Chuan looking her way, she quickly averted her gaze, blushing.
“Aren’t you supposed to help me get dressed? What are you waiting for?” Lin Chuan urged, seeing her hesitation.
Ning Wenrou clenched her teeth.
For the sake of completing the system mission…
For the sake of mastering “Basic Medical Skills”…
For the sake of her father’s treatment…
Fine, she’d endure it a little longer.
Suppressing her shame, she knelt down and looked up at Lin Chuan. “Master, please lift your foot.”
From Lin Chuan’s perspective, the scene before him was beyond tempting.
Through the slightly open neckline of her maid outfit, he caught glimpses of sights not meant for underage viewers.
This was deadly!
Slowly, he lifted his foot, allowing her to slip the pants on for him.
In the process, there was inevitably some physical contact.
Ning Wenrou’s fair complexion instantly flushed red. Even her slender neck turned pink.
“Master, can you put on your pants yourself?”
She looked up at Lin Chuan with pleading eyes, hoping for a shred of mercy.
But Lin Chuan was a villain.
Mercy?
That was out of the question.
“Weren’t you the one insisting on dressing me? And now you want to back out? If you don’t finish the job, I’ll have to leave you a bad review,” Lin Chuan threatened.
He didn’t understand why Ning Wenrou’s behavior had changed so drastically, but it was clear that she cared a lot about his evaluation.
So, he deliberately made things difficult for her to see how far she would go.
Sure enough, after a moment of internal struggle, Ning Wenrou finally reached out and helped him put on his pants.
Lin Chuan, feeling mischievous, waited until she was about to stand up before making an even more outrageous demand.
“And what about my socks? Crawl over and bring them to me.”
Ning Wenrou’s head shot up, staring at him in disbelief.
“What? Didn’t you hear me?” Lin Chuan deliberately provoked her. “If you refuse, I’ll have no choice but to give you a bad rating…”
“I’ll do it.”
She quickly agreed.
Then, to Lin Chuan’s astonishment, she actually got down on all fours and crawled toward the cabinet where the socks were kept.
Lin Chuan was completely dumbfounded.
She could endure even this?
Was this really the same Ning Wenrou from the novel?
