… Five minutes later, in the back seat of the luxurious Bentley, Celine hugged the cardboard box tightly in her arms, feeling very uncomfortable. "Are you short of money?" Xaden lit a cigarette, put his hand on the car window, and unbuttoned the top button around his neck with his other hand. “Yes.” Celine nodded honestly, "Ninety-nine percent of people in this world are short of money." “Then why is the remaining one percent not missing?” Celine flattered him, "Because the remaining 1% is you. Mr. King, you are handsome and rich, and you can tell at a glance that you are not short of money." “…” "What are you holding that thing for? I'm not going to steal it from you." Seeing that she was still holding the paper box of condoms, Xaden raised his lips slightly, "Didn't my secretary give you 200,000 dollars? It should be enough for you to use for a while." Celine shook her head, "No, that won't work. If you don't get better in the end, I'll have to return the money." “…” Two hundred thousand, how stingy can he be? He even needed her to return it. Did he need it for dinner? "The 200,000 is yours once it's given to you. No matter if you can get well in the end, I won't ask you to return the money." "No, no, no, that won't work." Celine shook her head. "My grandmother taught me since I was a child that a gentleman should earn money in a proper way, so that he can feel at ease when spending the money he earns." Xaden knew that she also had a grandmother who lived in the nursing home. There was a flash of tenderness in her eyes when she said this, and the man beside her saw it clearly. "In that case, can you cook? Cleaning is also fine. My Villa happens to be short of someone. You can just take time to go over once or twice a week, I will pay you well..." After saying this, Xaden himself was surprised. After all, he was not a good person, and he had lost all his compassion a few years ago. "Ah?" Celine looked at him surprised. Can did not expect that. Maybe she expected him to ridicule her for doing weird things to earn money. "What?" Xaden was unhappy. "The salary is higher than the wine cards and condoms you give out. Are you unhappy?" "No, no, no, it's not." Happiness came too suddenly. Celine pinched herself quietly. Damn, it hurts! This is not a dream! She blinked and said, "Cooking is no problem, but I can't cook many Western dishes. Do you eat regular simple meals?" Xaden's eyes twitched. "I am a human. What should I eat if not regular food?" Celine again flattered him: "It's mainly because you have such an outstanding temperament. " At first glance, you look like a big boss sitting in a high-end restaurant eating Western food and drinking red wine. “…” … The Bentley stopped five hundred meters away from the school. Celine got out of the car holding the paper box, bent down and thanked the man inside through the car window, "Thank you for giving me a ride." Xaden was fiddling with his phone. He held it out to me and said, "Add me on messenger." “Ohhhh.” Celine thought it would be more convenient to add him in the future, so she quickly took out her old mobile phone that she had used for three or four years to scan him. "Okay, goodbye, Mr. King." Celine waved her hand, walked around with the paper box, went to another gate of the school, took out a disposable mask from her schoolbag and put it on, and continued to distribute the remaining condoms. After finishing the work, I returned to school. After finishing school, she returned home when she had a fever and felt dizzy. To be honest, she only had Zia as her only friend. There are no classes on weekends. When Zia received Celine's call, her throat was already dry from the fever. Forty minutes later, Zia came over, knocked on the door, and dragged the sick person to a nearby clinic to get a fever-reducing injection. After three bottles of intravenous drip, Celine's fever subsided by mid-afternoon. The injection and medicine cost a total of two hundred dollars. Celine felt pain when she paid. In the end, Zia rolled her eyes and said that at most she could get her a few more after she recovered. Work more part-time and earn the money back quickly. After a lot of trouble, we had vegetable porridge for lunch, and Zia treated her. Celine burst into tears, hugged Zia's arm and said that she must be reborn as a man in the second half of her life, marry her and take her home to worship her. ...On Monday, after recovering from her illness, Celine went to class refreshed. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Celine was lying on the table, drowsy. Suddenly, Zia pinched her and said, "They're calling you." "ah?" Celine rubbed her eyes. She could vaguely hear what the school radio was shouting, but she was drowsy at the moment and didn't pay attention. "The dean wants you to go to the office, hurry up." "Dean of Studies?" Celine woke up, but was a little confused. "Why did the dean call me for something? I didn't do anything wrong." "Who knows?" Zia stroked her chin and stared at her chest, "Maybe he wants to take advantage of these?" “…” Celine really wanted to beat her. Celine rushed to the dean's office as quickly as possible. In addition to the fat dean with big ears, there was another man in the office. The man with an upright posture heard the voice, turned around, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a faint smile on his lips. "Xaden..." "Student Celine." The director's face was about to burst with laughter. In addition to Celine, more people came one after another. There are several people, both men and women. These students all have relatively good grades, and they are from every department. Xaden glanced at the silly little girl standing at the edge of the group and spoke briefly and to the point. Celine kept staring at the man who was talking, always wondering if she had not woken up yet. What did Xaden just say? He said that King Group is doing some charity work, so they plan to select a few students with good grades from their school to provide financial support. Fund all schooling expenses??? After Xaden finished speaking, the director asked several sponsored students to line up one by one to fill out some forms. Celine was at the end of the line, and she couldn't help but look at the man who was being invited by the school leader to have tea. White shirt and black trousers. Even when sitting, he looked more than a head taller than everyone else in the office. The elegance and dignity emanating from his entire body, People who are fascinated by it cannot take their eyes away. He seemed to feel her gaze, and smiled as he looked over at her. “…” In an instant, a word flashed through Celine's mind: a smile makes her look charming. She couldn't help but shiver, her heartbeat quickened a little, and finally she lowered her eyes and dared not look at him again. Celine was the last one to fill out the form. Xaden has been invited to the reception room. Until the end of school, Celine was still in a daze. She said goodbye to Zia at the school gate with her schoolbag on her back. After leaving the school and walking through the snack street outside, turn left, and you will reach Celine’s home, which is an old residential area. Celine was thinking about something and didn't notice that there was a car following her. "drop---" The sharp sound of a horn behind her startled her and Celine turned her head reflexively to take a look. Three or four meters behind him was a familiar Bentley car with a familiar license plate number. The back seat window was lowered, and a man's long legs were crossed with a silver laptop on his legs. Xaden tilted his head and looked at her from inside the car, "Get in." “…” Celine looked around and didn't see anyone she knew, so she quickly opened the car door and got in. She sat properly, not daring to look at him, "Mr King." Xaden put the computer aside and said, "Starting tomorrow, you can live in the school dormitory. All the tuition fees have been contracted by King Group." "Why?" Celine looked at him hesitantly. Although she was a little self-indulgent, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. King knows my family background, so he..." "Do all girls of your age like to overthink so much?" “…” With just one sentence, Celine's face instantly turned red to the base of her neck, and even her toes curled up in embarrassment. What? She just said that she watched too many idol dramas. How could he... The car turned a corner and drove in another direction. Celine held the schoolbag in her arms and asked, "Where are we going?" "King Villa." “…” Was he going to do that again? Rubbing the hot, thick thing against her chest. "What are you thinking about?" The man put one hand on the half-open car window, and raised his sexy, thin lips slightly, "This little girl is not pure. " You are not pure." I just asked you to cook. Didn't you see the message I sent you? What dirty things are you thinking about? Your face is blushing like you're in love." Celine was stunned and took out her cell phone from her bag to check. Xaden did send her a message, but she didn't have time to reply at the time, and she didn't even look at her phone after school. "Ohhh." Celine lowered her head and heard the laughter of the man above her head, as sweet as pearls and jade. When they arrived at King Villa, Xaden went upstairs to take a shower, and Celine was taken to the open kitchen by Aunt Ma, the villa's caretaker. The clean walls in the kitchen can be used as mirrors. The various kitchen utensils are all foreign brands. There are three refrigerators; one for meat, one for vegetables and fruits, and one for A storage space for mineral water drinks. Celine was stunned by the luxurious kitchen. Aunt Ma was telling her about Mr. King's taste. "Mr. King doesn't eat coriander and garlic. He likes to have a combination of meat and vegetables. The standard is three dishes and one soup. Miss Celine, don't be nervous. Come on, you can do it." "But I only know how to cook home-cooked meals." Celine said in a hesitant voice, "What if Mr. King doesn't like the food I cook?" She has acquired her cooking skills since she was a child. Her father died when she was very young and her mother left her behind. Her grandmother had to do farm work and was also busy with her, so she had no time to spare for cooking. It is said that children from poor families grow up early. So Celine could cook for herself when she was only seven years old. Aunt Ma smiled and said, "It's okay. Since the master asked you to do it, just do it boldly. If you have any questions, just ask me." "Oh well." There were all the ingredients in the refrigerator. Celine took a look and planned to make a steamed fish, green pepper beef, chicken stew, and tomato egg soup. Celine was organized and did not ask Aunt Ma for any help except to teach her how to use the kitchen appliances that she did not know how to use. They were very expensive and advanced. She did not want to break them and face loss. She is a very poor student. It took forty minutes to prepare three dishes and a soup. By the time the food was served, it was already dark outside. After taking a shower, Xaden came downstairs wearing a gray casual outfit, exuding a noble, charming and gentle temperament. The young master didn't like them staying in the villa, so after cleaning up the kitchen, Aunt Ma left with other servants. Celine washed her hands and looked timidly at the man coming down from upstairs, "The food is ready, Mr. King, I'll go back first?" "Go back?" Xaden raised his eyebrows, "There is no bus stop here. It costs at least 100 to call a taxi. Are you willing to spend 100 dollars?" He didn't mean to look down on her by saying this, he was just teasing her. Celine blushed and clenched her fists quietly, "Can I ask, how much will you pay me for cooking a meal for you?" Xaden sat down at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the chicken elegantly. It tasted quite good. He laughed, "How about 100 per dish?" That's four hundred dollars. Celine stretched out her hand, "Give me the money. As long as you don't delay my salary, I will have money to take a taxi." One hundred dollars for a dish is such a great deal. Even if she only cooks one meal for him a week, she can earn enough for her living expenses. "One hundred dollars for a dish. Of course, you have to feed me, and it only counts when I'm full." Xaden put down his chopsticks, served himself a bowl of tomato and egg soup, took a sip, and it was a bit sour, but very appetizing in the hot summer. For the sake of four hundred dollars, Celine swallowed her anger, took a bowl of rice from the porcelain bowl, put a few chopsticks of vegetables in the bowl, and said expressionlessly, "Ah, open your mouth." Taking a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables, one looks frustrated when being fed, while the other eats with peace of mind. The man had a big appetite and ate two bowls of rice. The dishes made by Celine were not large in portion, but he ate them all. After eating and drinking, Xaden was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "Go upstairs and wash yourself. Don't spray perfume. I don't like it." The last time Celine came, she secretly used Zia's perfume, which had a low-quality smell. "……Oh." . . . Behind the scenes, Mr King: Wash yourself and wait for me. Celine: You can’t get in any way.
