"Seventh Young Master is looking for Miss Niannian," Chi He reminded her again.
Xia Yinian had almost forgotten; it was Uncle who wanted to see her, not Chi He.
"Right." She accepted the fact.
But what did he an by hemming and hawing like this?
Without any more hesitation, Chi He took a deep breath and continued, "Miss Niannian, the thing is like this."
"I wonder if you could be a bit nicer to Seventh Young Master today, just a little will do, otherwise... I’ll lose my bonus for this month."
WHAT? Xia Yinian looked at Chi He, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Her being an to Uncle would lead to Chi He losing his bonus this month?
Do these two things really have a connection?
And has she really been that bad to Uncle? It’s always him going too far with his actions, when has she ever done sothing bad to him?
Chi He added that just a little bit nicer would suffice, did she hear it right?
But seeing Chi He’s expression, Xia Yinian doubted yet didn’t know how to voice it.
"How should I be nicer?" It seed he was serious.
Being nice to Uncle didn’t bother her, he had helped her so much, but if Uncle laid hands on her, she surely couldn’t just accept it.
Sacrificing herself was out of the question!
Hearing Xia Yinian’s response, Chi He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Niannian, actually, you don’t have to do much, just smile more would be good."
Xia Yinian frowned slightly, a bit amused and incredulous. Just smiling more equates to being nice to Uncle, since when did he care about her feelings?
"Oh, I’ll try."
Chi He had always treated her well, this was the first ti he asked her for sothing, she couldn’t be completely unresponsive.
However, she still had to uphold her bottom line, as for whether Uncle would give him a bonus, that was left to fate.
"Miss Niannian, thank you for your trouble." Chi He smiled as he went to open the door.
Money, he didn’t really lack; earning so much only increased the numbers in his bank account, which actually ant little to him.
The most important thing was to make Seventh Young Master happy.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Gu Beicheng, who was standing behind the door, coughed and took a few steps towards the window.
Chi He knew how good Seventh Young Master’s hearing was, but he hadn’t anticipated his eavesdropping habit.
Then the conversation they had just now... cough, perhaps, possibly, roughly, MAYBE, had already been eavesdropped on by that man.
Ever since he got to know Miss Niannian, Seventh Young Master’s behavior beca increasingly unfathomable.
When Xia Yinian entered, she saw that tall figure standing by the window.
His cold and resolute profile, his deep eagle-like eyes, the innate imperial aura, majestic as a king, always captures one’s attention.
What a pity, for Xia Yinian, all of that could only linger in her mind.
Since the two of them obviously had no future, where did she get the courage to dwell on it?
They were people from two different worlds, she no longer harbored any hopes.
"Uncle, what did you want to see for?" Xia Yinian kept her head down, not looking at him anymore.
Gu Beicheng’s thick eyebrows slightly furrowed as he turned to look at the girl who had just co in.
"Co here," his deep voice rang out with an authoritative note.
Xia Yinian blinked and walked over.
Just as she had thought before, she knew she couldn’t avoid being bullied upon coming here, but still, she ca.
Maybe it was a foolish move, but she had no right to refuse.
After all, he was now Uncle, and as a junior mber of the Gu Family, it was necessary to be obedient.
