The night deepened.
Just as Jiang Xiaoxin was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard an unusual lody coming from downstairs. What she could be certain of was that it was just her and Wang Xiaoqiang in the mansion, she lived upstairs and Wang Xiaoqiang lived downstairs.
She knew that Wang Xiaoqiang had stepped out for a short while earlier and had co back. However, what she could be certain of was that Wang Xiaoqiang ca back alone. Moreover, when Wang Xiaoqiang had returned, she had opened the curtains to look. It was clear, crystal clear, only Wang Xiaoqiang was there. No one else had entered the mansion.
But how could there be the singing of a woman coming from downstairs when Wang Xiaoqiang was the only person there?
Could it be that a woman had unintentionally stumbled in here?
With such doubts in her mind, she got out of bed, dressed, and quietly went downstairs. She could hear the music getting louder and clearer as she approached. Listening carefully, the sound seed to be coming from Wang Xiaoqiang's bedroom.
"What, what is going on?" Jiang Xiaoxin was surprised, and then, she understood. As the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork before, haven't you seen a pig run?!
Jiang Xiaoxin had never encountered such an incident, but with so thought, she understood. Upon understanding, rage ignited in her imdiately. Just monts ago he was making grand promises of undying love, and now he's brought a woman into the house to sing for him—evidently, he didn't take her seriously, did he?
Out of anger, Jiang Xiaoxin walked resolutely toward Wang Xiaoqiang's room.
"Master,, soone is coming…" The Spirit Servant, with a sensory power a hundred tis stronger than a human's, had sensed her the mont Jiang Xiaoxin descended the stairs. Little Bai was aware of her but was unclear about the relationship between Wang Xiaoqiang and Jiang Xiaoxin. Since they were sleeping in separate rooms, they couldn't be a couple. Since they weren't a couple, there was nothing to worry about. But now the woman was heading towards the room, and Little Bai felt obliged to give a warning.
"Uh…" Wang Xiaoqiang imdiately thought of Jiang Xiaoxin.;
Yikes? The sound stopped!
Standing in front of Wang Xiaoqiang's door, Jiang Xiaoxin suddenly couldn't hear anything anymore, which left her utterly baffled. However, she trusted her ears; she hadn't misheard.
Humph! It doesn't matter whether it is real or not, I must check it out!
Jiang Xiaoxin raised her hand to knock on the door, "Wang Xiaoqiang, open the door for !"
"Little Xin, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"What am I doing? I want to inspect the room…"
"Inspect the room? Inspect for what?"
"Still trying to pretend, you brought a woman back, you, you…"
"Little Xin, stop joking around. It's just the two of us in the mansion, there is no one else." In fact, Wang Xiaoqiang was not nervous, after all, Little Bai was rely a Spirit Servant, not a real person.
"No, I must check…"
Jiang Xiaoxin insisted stubbornly.
"Alright, if you want to look, then look…"
Click!
The sound of the door echoed as it opened. Wang Xiaoqiang, rubbing his sleepy eyes, said to Jiang Xiaoxin, "Co in and check then, see if there is a woman?"
Jiang Xiaoxin entered the room, her bright and round eyes scanning about, wide as copper bells. The bed was sowhat ssy, but there were no won's clothes or any suspicious objects. Jiang Xiaoxin walked over to the wardrobe, opened each door to check. The wardrobe contained only Wang Xiaoqiang's clothes, no won's clothing, and certainly no woman hiding inside.
Though the room was large, the furniture was limited. Apart from the wardrobe, there were no other hiding places. The windows were sealed, making it impossible for anyone to have escaped through them.
Jiang Xiaoxin was astonished! She had clearly heard a woman's voice, so why was there no sign of a woman?
"You see, there is nothing…" Wang Xiaoqiang spread his hands, "Little Xin, go back to sleep… We still have to work tomorrow…"
"Little Qiang, I really did hear a woman's voice coming from your room just now…" Jiang Xiaoxin said, half ashad and half puzzled.
"Little Xin, go back and sleep well. Stop being so suspicious. The mansion is in the wilderness, and it's very quiet at night. Sotis, when one is in extre silence, one might experience auditory hallucinations. So, Little Xin, I suggest you wear headphones and listen to so music. It might help you sleep…" Wang Xiaoqiang patted Jiang Xiaoxin's shoulder, comforting and reminding her.
"Okay," Jiang Xiaoxin nodded obediently, "I'm sorry, Little Qiang, I misunderstood you,"
"It's fine. I've always said I would treat you like a sister, so I won't take such a small mistake to heart. Go back and get so sleep…"
"Little Qiang, I'm a bit scared. Maybe I could sleep with you…"
"How could that be okay? If it were when we were kids, perhaps, but we are both grown up now. Alone together like this, a man and a woman, it's just not right…" Wang Xiaoqiang said as he gently pushed her shoulder, "Go on, I'll walk you upstairs…"
"Alright!" Jiang Xiaoxin also felt it wasn't appropriate to stay with Wang Xiaoqiang, so she obediently followed him upstairs.
They reached the upstairs bedroom.
```
Wang Xiaoqiang had Jiang Xiaoxin lie down on the bed, then personally turned on the music on her phone and put on her headphones for her, "Go to sleep, I'll be right downstairs, nothing to be scared of!"
Jiang Xiaoxin obediently nodded, then closed her eyes.
Wang Xiaoqiang turned off the light for her, stepped out of the room, and locked the door behind her.
When he returned to his room, he found Little Bai had already materialized.
"Little Bai, won't this kind of contact be bad for you?"
"Master, it won't be, this will only enhance my Spiritual Power Cultivation…"
"What? This close contact can actually improve your Spiritual Power Cultivation?"
"Yes, because you have Spiritual Energy inside you, being this close to you allows to be nurtured by your Spiritual Energy…"
"Really? I hadn't realized that…"
"Because the amount of Spiritual Energy is quite small... but I can feel it and absorb it in ti, transforming it into my Spiritual Power Cultivation…"
"Haha, if it helps with your Spiritual Power Cultivation, then let's be together day and night from now on, how about that?..."
"Thank you so much for your deep affection, Master!"
The next day.
The morning sun filled the window.
Wang Xiaoqiang got out of bed feeling comfortable, with Little Bai tidying the bed and even squeezing the toothpaste for him... He was waited on hand and foot, much like an emperor of ancient tis.
As Little Bai did these things, Wang Xiaoqiang instructed her, "Little Bai, for now, just stay by my side to ensure Little Xin's personal safety. Later on, I will assign you other tasks to do…"
"Understood, Master. Little Bai understands," Little Bai replied softly.
Wang Xiaoqiang washed up and left the house.
Little Bai followed out, but invisibly.
Wang Xiaoqiang headed to the dining table outside the kitchen, where Jiang Xiaoxin was busy inside the kitchen wearing an apron, her charming figure bustling about. Soon, she brought out breakfast—stead buns, milk, bread, sausages—a generous spread.
"Hey, Little Xin, let hire a maid for you. You're working too hard…" Wang Xiaoqiang said while eating.
"No need, no need. I'm here to work for you in the United States, not to enjoy your money," insisted Jiang Xiaoxin, not open to further discussion.
"Alright then, if you're saving money, forget about it…"
After breakfast, Wang Xiaoqiang started to familiarize Jiang Xiaoxin with all the affairs of the farm. Since Bordeaux Farm was still in the developnt stage, it was necessary for Wang Xiaoqiang to be personally involved, before he could hand things over to Jiang Xiaoxin once everything was established.
Jiang Xiaoxin's English was better than Wang Xiaoqiang's, especially her spoken language, which was quite standard. Wang Xiaoqiang found it convenient to have her by his side for communication.
Of course, he always had another woman by his side, which was the Spirit Servant Little Bai, because Bordeaux Farm was large and had a lot of labor demand. Wang Xiaoqiang didn't trust the forr farmworkers from Bordeaux Farm and didn't dare to employ them; thus, he had to hire new workers.
It was then that Rolando called to say that Robert, the forr foreman of Bordeaux Farm, wanted to et with him.
Wang Xiaoqiang roughly understood the foreman's intentions—most likely, he wanted to go back to working at Bordeaux Farm.
Even though Wang Xiaoqiang did not want to employ the old subordinates from Bordeaux, he still decided to et the man.
Wang Xiaoqiang drove to Dolly Farm, where Rolando and Robert had been waiting for a while at the entrance.
Wang Xiaoqiang parked his car on the roadside and as he got out, the two n eagerly approached him. Robert, with a smile on his face yet appearing sowhat reserved, extended his hand before Rolando could speak and said, "Hello, Boss Wang, I am Robert, the forr foreman of Bordeaux Farm…"
"Uh, hello," Wang Xiaoqiang shook his hand and responded indifferently.
It was then that Rolando spoke, "Boss Wang, Robert is my friend, and I can vouch for his character with my own reputation. He has always been diligent while working at Bordeaux Farm, and becoming a foreman was solely the result of his ability and hard work... He ca to today wishing to return to Bordeaux Farm. He is not looking to be a foreman again; being a regular worker is fine for him…"
"Yes, I hope Mr. Wang can accommodate my wish. I've always treated Bordeaux Farm like my own ho, and suddenly leaving it has been difficult. Besides, after I left Bordeaux Farm, I tried a few jobs but none gave the drive…" pleaded Robert.
Wang Xiaoqiang sized up Robert, noting he was about fifty years old and seed rather honest, then nodded, "Alright, co work as a foreman at Bordeaux, and what's more, you'll be paid even higher than what you got before at Bordeaux…"
"Ah, Boss, am I hearing things right…" An excited tremor ran through Robert upon hearing this. He didn't expect Wang Xiaoqiang to agree so readily, and not only was he not being made to work as a foreman, but he was also to be offered higher wages than before, which gave him an almost dream-like, surreal feeling.
