The girl couldn't take it anymore and could only pitifully bite her pillow.
"Once this is settled, Xiao Chunan will be able to have a happy summer vacation, with Marissa to keep him company every day." Minagawa Izumi gave the big kid a slap to stop him from being so reckless.
"Yes, of course I should be happy with Marisa around. I can't drag Marisa down with me and make her sad, can I?"
"After all, it doesn't matter that my sisters have graduated and aren't around anymore, but it's still important that Marisa is by my side."
Chu Yinan's eyes widened, and he vehemently denied it: "Dalena, you can't say that. I still care about Yutang and Sister Xuanya. It's just that I think they might worry that I'm still sad, so for their sake, and for Marissa's sake, I'm not sad anymore!"
Darlene didn't tease him: "Mrs. Morgan has offered you a summer job at Lefie Estate, with excellent pay."
"what for?"
"You want me to dress up as a teddy bear? I'm not sure either, that's what Madam told me to convey."
Chu Yinan: "..."
Chapter 17 Regular Part-Time Job Booking
As expected, it was exposed back then.
When his aunt tried to get him to go back to sleep after his afternoon nap, it was clear that she had noticed something was wrong.
But she brought it up so late, she probably isn't angry, right?
Chu Yinan pretended to be dead the whole time and didn't dare to move, but he felt that his aunt was having a lot of fun. The swaying sound made him worry that it would be heard and attract people like Aunt Liu.
Looking back now, Aunt Morgan did move the teddy bear. Judging from the way she handled it, she was probably afraid of bumping into him inside. However, there was another detail that dispelled Chu Yinan's concerns.
Aunt Morgan had his "teddy bear" receive several waves of investment in its deepest parts.
Chu Yinan felt that if Aunt Morgan knew about him, she probably wouldn't have gone that far; there would have been some psychological resistance involved.
But now it seems that Aunt Morgan was indeed just as outrageous as Heinrich.
Basically, when his aunt sent him a message, it meant he needed to go there immediately to give a work report.
That night, the car transported this poor child laborer to Le Fay Manor for the news.
In order to leave himself a sliver of a chance to survive, Chu Yinan asked the head maid to drive to the commercial district first and buy a gift, intending to use emotional appeal to persuade Aunt Morgan to make an exception for him.
Choosing a gift has always been a headache for him. If the recipient is his aunt, he can't use his tail as a powerful weapon, as it might backfire and she might just slap him on the back and call Heinrich over to play with him.
Then Marissa will be stuck at home, "the courtesan knows not the sorrow of her deceased brother, still singing 'The Flowers of the Courtyard' across the river."
In short, the gift-giving plan should be unconventional and generate buzz.
He wanted to get his aunt interested in having a calm and peaceful chat, ideally until she got sleepy, so he could get through the night peacefully and then run away the next morning.
If all else fails, I can just pretend to be dead and be a teddy bear again.
Maybe this time Auntie wants to try something different and wants the teddy bear to move on its own.
With a tragic and heroic feeling, Chu Yinan stepped into the gates of Lefèvre Manor under the cover of night. Amidst the affectionate greetings of the young and beautiful maids, he arrived at his aunt's room.
"dong dong dong"
The door opened automatically. Chu Yinan swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on the mature, beautiful widow in black standing by the French windows.
"Good evening, Auntie~" he greeted sweetly, not daring to be anything but sweet.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, my lovely little teddy bear. I thought I would have to call and ask Heinrich to bring you over. It seems you've missed your aunt very much?"
"...Yes, Aunt, so you already knew all along. Did Heinrich tell you?"
The woman didn't seem to be blaming him. Holding a wine glass in her right hand, Morgan's gaze fell on the trembling little family member through the crimson liquid.
Chu Yinan was also sizing her up. The bottle of wine on his desk was made by Turing Tower and had just been opened.
Without the AI sisters' wine, Chu Yinan probably wouldn't have been able to lure the female monster home.
However, the presence of this bottle of wine in this setting suggests that this summer job will involve working the night shift...
Morgan led him to sit on the sofa. As they sat down, wine spilled from the glass and landed on the woman's thigh.
—Here it comes!
This is definitely her way of giving me a chance to redeem myself. How could a woman like Morgan normally make such a mistake? This is her way of implying that I... should lick my hands clean!
The woman glanced at the little one with surprise, but she was quite pleased with his obedient initiative.
Stroking the back of his head, I gently pressed his head down into a deeper, more mysterious place.
"It wasn't Heinrich who said it, but I actually discovered it while playing with the teddy bear. That layer of cotton cloth on the doll can't stop your heart from pounding."
Moreover, the toy Heinrich gave me before was just an inanimate object, but the trembling of that little teddy bear when it reached its limit was somewhat similar to a bottle of champagne I once opened.
I wonder if Yan Liu has ever played with a teddy bear?
That's terrifying...
This is a threat, isn't it? If you don't behave tonight, I'll tell Aunt Liu what happened!
Suddenly, as the wine dripped onto his face, Chu Yinan looked up and saw that the scarlet wine was flying straight down from the towering height. He had no choice but to trace the direction of the wine's flow upstream and cut off the flow of the milky red wine.
It wouldn't be right to drink any more!
Chu Yinan said, "I brought a gift for you. I'll go get it now."
After receiving a nod from Morgan, Chu Yinan ran out and brought back a bouquet of roses, along with a small box.
Inside was the most expensive ring Chu Yinan could afford at the moment, but it was just a store item and couldn't compare to those high-end custom-made pieces.
I heard about this gift from Heinrich before. He said that Morgan would change the rings he wore from time to time, probably because he got tired of wearing the same one. Occasionally, he would ask Heinrich, who was traveling, to buy him a few local rings.
Therefore, giving Morgan a ring is a practical gift, even if she wears it a few times and then replaces it, it still fulfills the product's use value. However, it wouldn't be appropriate for Chu Yinan to give such a gift, though Chu Yinan could argue that it's a practical gift, not an expression of love.
This kind of gift, which is somewhere between appropriate and inappropriate, is full of topics that can keep you talking late into the night!
Furthermore, before Chu Yinan came to pay, he asked his female father at home, who said that it would be perfect to deliver it tonight.
Without further hesitation, Chu Yinan paid the money directly.
Morgan looked at the little boy's gift with surprise: "Did Heinrich ask you to give this to him?"
“It’s something I wanted to give to you, Aunt. After I made the choice, I didn’t know if the design would suit your taste. I asked Heinrich for his opinion.”
What does it mean to express oneself precisely?
His statement shows that Heinrich only provided a reference, but the act of giving the gift was his own decision!
The portion sizes are different.
"That's right, you found out the anniversary of my late husband from Heinrich and knew to choose this day to give me the ring?"
Chu Yinan's face turned pale...
Why is there a memorial day for a deceased husband? Is it a celebration of one's own liberation?
And we specifically chose this day to have him come over, just to add to the festivities!
Morgan put down her wine glass, slowly removed the luxurious ring from her slender white jade finger, casually tossed it into the trash can, and replaced it with the one Chu Yinan had given her.
Then he placed a black gold credit card on the table.
"Not bad, but this kind of design will get boring after a while, maybe only for about half a month. What should we do?"
Is this a requirement for me to do a part-time job once every two weeks?
"I come here every two weeks to bring a new ring!"
Where are the flowers?
"I'll buy roses too!"
"Good girl~ Tonight I wish I had a big, moving teddy bear, but before that, let Auntie taste what our little darling has eaten, and why she's so sweet-talking!"
A question popped into Chu Yinan's mind: when exactly did the habit of eating children originate in his family?
Chapter 17 Confirmation Method
After returning from working at his aunt's place, Chu Yinan rested for a few days.
Perhaps because he knew he could only see his teddy bear once every two weeks, Aunt Morgan was working on it like crazy. They agreed that he would leave the next day at noon, but he really did work on it until an hour before he was supposed to leave, when he was given an hour to rest. During that hour, he had to take her to bathe.
He didn't leave work until his aunt had eaten a light meal and gone to bed.
Whether it was because her aunt had been pent-up excitement and needed to release it all at once, or because of the effect of that bottle of wine, Chu Yinan had no idea.
However, this night wasn't all about that kind of thing, because it could get really boring. The same rhythmic collision sounds repeated over and over again were both dull and soporific.
Chu Yinan had to use all sorts of methods to make her happy.
The moment Chu Yinan stepped out of Le Fay Manor, he felt a lingering fear, despite his dark circles under his eyes, as if he had just seen the light of day again.
Summer jobs are hard to find, but accompanying rich women is even harder!
Thinking about it this way, my aunt really does resemble a beautiful venomous snake—because snakes spend up to 12 hours breeding.
After being well-fed and pampered, Chu Yinan was soon invited to visit Sister Xuan Ya's home.
[Jiang Xuanya: Hey, Xiao Chunan, have you arrived yet? Don't come in right away when you get here, call me first.]
Chu Yinan is already on his way, and will arrive in about five minutes: "I'm almost there. And today is Chu Yinan mode."
[Jiang Xuanya: Huh, why is it the Great Chu Nan mode? It's rare to see you using your big body outside. You usually only use it when you're playing indoors, right?]
"I've used my ultimate to heal myself, I'm Mundo."
This isn't entirely a joke; larger bodies have stronger organ functions and a much better recovery ability than smaller bodies.
Chu Yinan is currently using his main account to conserve his energy, as he'll be returning to Turing Tower for a medical check-up soon. If he doesn't prepare properly...
The beaker is not full.
[Jiang Xuanya: Okay, whatever you want, just remember not to come in right away, understand?]
"Okay~ I'm almost there. Just one more park and I'll be at your house, Sister Xuanya."
On the other end, after quietly finishing the call, Jiang Xuanya said to her mother, Li Xuan'en, who had just come out of the bathroom:
"Mom, I'm going out for a walk and will buy some fresh lemons for Xiao Chunan."
"Did Xiao Chunan say when he's coming?"
