It was really so considerate. Once again living a life being served, Xia Lin couldn't help but miss those servants in the previous world who had a relatively good relationship with him.
What Xia Lin didn't know was that while he was lost in his own thoughts, Mr. Xiao Jinyu's butler was also sighing. Wasn't it said that this Mr. Xia was an ordinary civilian? Why did he give the butler the feeling of being a nobleman instead? Moreover, he came to this luxurious mansion suddenly where there were so many servants and so many rules, yet he didn't seem nervous at all and adapted so naturally. Sure enough, those who could catch the master's eye were never ordinary people.
During lunch, looking at the more than a dozen dishes on the table, Xia Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't as exaggerated as he had imagined. But Xiao Jinyu misunderstood Xia Lin's meaning. "Are these dishes not to your taste?"
Xia Lin immediately shook his head. "No, I just thought that for just the two of us, having so many dishes is a bit too much."
After saying that, Xia Lin felt a bit annoyed. It was up to the host to decide how many dishes to prepare. Was it impolite for him to say that directly?
"It's okay. It's always been like this. If you think it's too much, I'll ask them to prepare fewer dishes in the future."
"No, no. Jinyu, you should just do as you like. It was my slip of the tongue."
To distract himself, Xia Lin quickly pretended to be eating seriously, moving his chopsticks nimbly.
But Xiao Jinyu frowned unhappily. Xia Lin's estranged attitude really annoyed her, but she didn't know why. This made her even more irritated. And Xia Lin keenly noticed that Xiao Jinyu suddenly seemed unhappy and felt very confused. What was going on? Why was the big shot suddenly unhappy? Had he offended the big shot?
Almost everyone well - known in both the white and black circles knew that Xiao Jinyu had brought back a young man. They sent many people to investigate. Although Xiao Jinyu intended to protect Xia Lin, it wasn't difficult to find out Xia Lin's basic information. As a result, they found that Xia Lin was just an ordinary college student and there was nothing special about him before he met Xiao Jinyu.
Then why did Xiao Jinyu take a fancy to him? Some people said it was because Xia Lin had once saved Xiao Jinyu.
Oh, they got it. Was it because one should never forget the kindness of being saved? Besides, Xiao Jinyu was already twenty - eight years old, yet there was not a single woman with an ambiguous relationship around her. So some people had suspected that Xiao Jinyu liked men before. Now with Xia Lin's appearance, they were even more convinced of this suspicion.
When Xiao Jinyu heard the report from her subordinate, her face remained expressionless but an extremely cold aura emanated from her.
The subordinate was a bit scared and carefully probed, "Do you want to send someone..."
Xiao Jinyu waved her hand. "No need. They're just a bunch of gossips. There's no need to waste time and energy on them. Continue to send people to protect Xia Lin well. Report any important situation to me immediately. You can leave now."
"Yes, my lord."
After the subordinate left, a young man with dyed highlights in his hair and a handsome appearance walked in. "Boss, I'm here to see you. Aren't you happy?"
When Xiao Jinyu saw this young man, her expression softened a bit. For this young man who wasn't her real younger brother but was as close as a real one, Xiao Jinyu was willing to be more patient. "What's up? Why did you suddenly come to see me? Are you short of money again? Come on, how much do you need this time?" She sounded just like a domineering CEO.
