Hidden talents and rising stars in the nanny industry

Chapter 204 This is the kind of self-destructive romance they want.

Fu Xiaochen waited for a long time, but Ye Jiajia showed no intention of explaining, which made him somewhat annoyed.

"Didn't you say you were going to explain? What, are you keeping quiet now because you're racking your brains to come up with an excuse?" His tone was full of sarcasm.

Ye Jiajia's expression was indifferent, and her tone was cold: "There's nothing to explain. Think whatever you want."

Fu Xiaochen snorted coldly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

"Ha, I see you're speechless now! Since you don't want to be my woman, then continue being my servant. You're not allowed to go anywhere until the medical bills are paid off."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Ma and Wang Ma, who were standing to the side looking a little dazed, and said sternly.

“Zhang Ma, Wang Ma, you two keep a close eye on this woman. If you find out she dares to run away, I won’t let you off the hook.”

Zhang Xinru secretly scoffed to herself, "It's always the same old routine. What else can they do besides threaten me!"

"Yes, Master."

The two responded in unison, not taking Fu Xiaochen's words seriously.

They've seen this kind of scene many times. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will make up again in a couple of days. It's just that it'll be tough on them, as they'll be kept up at night again.

"Fu Xiaochen, you can rest assured that even if I, Ye Jiajia, am to leave, I will do so with dignity. Once I have paid off all the debts I owe you, I will leave immediately and will not interfere with your engagement to Xu Jiaojiao."

After Ye Jiajia finished speaking, she picked up a broom and went outside, not giving Xu Jiaojiao and Fu Xiaochen a chance to humiliate her. She channeled her grief and anger into cleaning the yard.

Fu Xiaochen couldn't do anything about Ye Jiajia, so he could only vent his anger on the people around him.

"What are you looking at? Don't you have anything better to do? Get out of here, all of you."

Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma quickly grabbed brooms and rolled out, throwing themselves into the chaotic scene of fishing in troubled waters.

You bastard, you're the one who told us to get lost. Don't call us if you need anything later.

Xu Jiaojiao tacitly excluded herself from the conversation, and when it was just the two of them left, they continued their previous topic.

"Brother Chen, will our engagement still go ahead next month?"

With Ye Jiajia not around, Fu Xiaochen wasn't in the mood to act.

"What do you mean by 'old'? Regardless of whether you are or not, you get out of here."

Xu Jiaojiao stomped her foot and left angrily.

All morning, Ye Jiajia was cleaning outside while Fu Xiaochen stood upstairs watching her. The two seemed to be competing with each other, one sweeping and the other watching, neither willing to back down.

Because of Fu Xiaochen's wide-open view, he could see everyone's every move. Apart from Zhang Ma and Wang Ma, no one dared to blatantly slack off.

This left the maids cleaning outside feeling helpless and resentful towards Ye Jiajia. The young master had been supervising them all morning, so why hadn't he left yet?

Lunchtime had finally arrived, but Ye Jiajia was still engrossed in cleaning, like a tireless sweeping machine, as if she wanted to finish all the work in one day.

Maid #1: "It's already noon. Should we continue sweeping or go eat first?"

Maid #2: "Young Master is upstairs watching. What if he docks our wages because of that woman?"

Maid #3: "Tch, what a show-off. I've never seen her clean very diligently before. Who is she trying to impress with this act?"

Zhang Xinru clicked her tongue and exclaimed, "Aren't these two hungry? What kind of Mary Sue plot is this?"

While speaking, he didn't forget to hand Wang Ma a piece of chocolate.

Wang Ma took the snacks, pointed towards the window where Fu Xiaochen was standing, and looked speechless.

“Look at the young master, he doesn’t seem to mind the wind. He’s been standing by the window all morning. If he keeps this up, he’s probably not far from catching a cold.”

Zhang Xinru looked at him with a knowing expression: "Hey, you don't understand, do you? That's exactly the kind of self-torturing romance they want."

"Fu Xiaochen was probably thinking, 'Woman, since you're not eating or drinking and just keeping clean the yard, then I'll not eat or drink and just stay with you. That's the only way to show my deep affection.'"

Oh, my damned, restrained, and suppressed love! Tell me, is there anyone in this world who loves more than me?

"What Ye Ma was thinking was, 'Man, you don't believe me? Then I'll punish myself by not eating or drinking until I die from exhaustion.'"

Since you've wronged me, then I'll work myself to death and starve myself so you'll regret it and feel sorry for me.

Aunt Wang nodded in agreement, "You're right! This kind of romance is better left undone; it's just too much trouble."

Just then, a gust of wind blew towards Fu Xiaochen's face, instantly messing up his meticulously styled hair and revealing his shiny forehead.

Ye Jiajia's hard work in sweeping up the leaves was all blown onto her by the wind, and then scattered all over the yard, making all her efforts in the morning go to waste.

"Bah bah bah..."

Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw this. "Hahahaha... even the wind couldn't stand it anymore."

Fu Xiaochen looked in the direction of the laughter, his face full of displeasure.

The two people, who were laughing loudly, seemed to sense something and looked over. When they saw the warning look in their eyes, their laughter stopped abruptly, and they quickly threw themselves into sweeping the floor and trying to persuade the others.

"Aunt Ye, you've been sweeping all morning, take a break, you can sweep again after lunch!"

Why are you taking it so seriously? Would it kill you to explain? It's just a simple sentence, why make it so complicated?

"Yes, Aunt Ye, even the strongest body can't withstand such sweeping. Your health is the most important thing."

Sweeping is pointless. People sweep in front while the wind blows behind, and the surrounding trees keep shedding leaves. It would take forever to finish! We might as well just cut down all the trees.

Seeing the leaves swept together being blown away again, Ye Jiajia didn't react, her hands continuing to sweep the floor.

"I'm not hungry, don't worry about me, you guys go eat!"

No matter what they said, the other party remained unmoved, and Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma did not continue to persuade them.

They couldn't let their stomachs suffer, no matter who else was wronged. The two women exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning.

Let's go eat first.

The two had just entered the kitchen and picked up their bowls when Fu Xiaochen called them out, clearly having already spotted them upstairs.

"Zhang Ma, Wang Ma."

Wang Ma almost choked on her food. "Cough cough cough cough cough... water, water."

Zhang Xinru handed the water over and patted Wang Ma's back, saying, "Take it easy, no one's going to take it from you."

After they came out, Fu Xiaochen said with a cold face, "I've been calling you for ages, why are you only coming out now?"

Zhang Xinru forced herself to explain, "It's already noon, and we're worried that Ye... Ye's mother might be hungry, so we're preparing some food for her."

Forgetting that she still had food in her mouth, Wang Ma blurted out, "Yes, yes... chewing... we came in to... chewing... chewing... Aunt Ye."

Zhang Xinru couldn't help but facepalm. "Finish what's in your mouth before you talk. It's not convincing at all."
