Chapter 3: Green Is My Lucky Color!

Li Fan had waited in bed until she fell asleep, but the transfer notification she had been longing for never arrived.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that 006 let out a sharp screech:
[Ahhh! The big villain is here to see you!]

Li Fan almost thought the house was on fire.

She had just woken up when she heard a knock on the door.

“Madam.”

“Come in.”

Her voice was slightly hoarse, having just woken up.

The door opened to reveal a completely unfamiliar face.

Li Fan frowned slightly. “And you are?”

The woman quickly gathered herself and introduced, “Madam, I’m the new nanny Mr. Han arranged for you. Everyone calls me Sister Lan.”

Li Fan lazily responded with an “Mm,” thinking that Chen Ji was indeed efficient.

She turned over, and the blanket that had been loosely wrapped around her slipped down, revealing most of her snow-white back.

Her jet-black hair cascaded down, the striking contrast adding a natural allure.

Sister Lan, for the first time, resented not being good with words. Besides “so beautiful,” she couldn’t think of a second phrase to describe what she was seeing.

On her way to the villa, she had heard that Han Xuzhou had many mistresses outside and didn’t care for his legal wife, Li Fan.

So she had assumed Li Fan must be terribly unattractive for the gentleman to dislike her.

But now, seeing her in person, she thought Li Fan could outshine every mistress Han Xuzhou had.

So beautiful, and yet left alone in an empty room? That man must be blind.

Seeing Sister Lan still standing there, Li Fan turned to glance at her.

“Anything else?”

She had developed a bit of a trauma toward these so-called “Sister” nannies.

Sister Lan smiled. “Mr. Han is here to see you. He’s waiting downstairs.”

Li Fan instantly sat up, eyes wide. “He’s here?”

Why so courteous? Did he come to personally deliver the money?

The blanket slid completely off, and the waves on her chest couldn’t be hidden.

Sister Lan’s eyes lit up. As a fellow woman, she could clearly see just how blessed Madam was in terms of assets.

Not only was the figure full and curvy, but her skin was also flawless — not something that could be achieved through beauty treatments.

Natural-born beauty. She finally found the right term.

006: [Sister Lan definitely thinks you’re beautiful. Her gaze is practically pervy.]

Li Fan glanced over and indeed noticed that Sister Lan’s look was not quite right.

She quickly wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. “Alright, you can go now.”

She liked sleeping in camisoles, no matter the season — her wardrobe was full of various styles of camisole nightgowns.

Black dress, pale skin — no wonder Sister Lan was stunned.

After Sister Lan left, Li Fan finally got up to change.

A white dress, hair casually pinned up, light makeup.

Facing the mirror, Li Fan struck a pose. This face really did look good from any angle.

Once she divorced Han Xuzhou in the future, she’d definitely find a group of young pretty boys to serve her — make up for all the grievances she had endured.

Leaving the room and heading downstairs, she dared not mumble aloud, only speaking to 006 in her mind.

[Why do you think he came over? Surely not to really give me money, right?]
[Didn’t he just get off some young model yesterday, went seven times in one night — shouldn’t he be sleeping it off at home now?]
[Honestly, with his injured leg, it must be a hassle to do it once. How is he still so energetic?]

Muttering in her head, Li Fan slowly walked downstairs.

She had no idea that downstairs, Han Xuzhou’s expression had already changed.

That voice echoed faintly, entering his ears.

He could tell it was Li Fan’s voice — but when he looked at her, her mouth wasn’t moving.

Besides, how would she dare to say such things to his face? That would be suicidal.

His peach blossom eyes were cold like an ancient icy pond. He slowly lifted his eyelids and glanced at Chen Ji beside him.

Chen Ji felt the gaze but kept his expression neutral, though he was puzzled inside.

Why is this guy suddenly angry again?

“Master Han?”

“Nothing.”

That voice grew louder. Han Xuzhou was now certain it was coming from Li Fan as she approached.

Li Fan felt uneasy near him. Whenever she got close, it was like a chill crept into her bones.

[Why is he looking at me like that? Did something go wrong in bed last night? These damn eyes are terrifying.]
[Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out!]

Han Xuzhou was so angry he laughed. Just looking at her obedient appearance — who would guess she was cursing him like a dog in her mind?

Li Fan looked at him curiously. “Mr. Han?”

Han Xuzhou lowered his eyes slightly. His cold, handsome face bowed just a bit, and Li Fan had to admit — that damn face of his could be deceptive.

If only he didn’t speak.

“Still alive, huh.”

Li Fan: “…Still alive.”

She gave a sweet, obedient smile.

[Yes, still alive, unlike you — hope you live to 9,000, become a turtle king.]
[Goddamn it, what a waste of a man — why does he have to talk?]
[What did Zhou Jing even see in him? Even a mute would be better.]

006: [Shut up already.]

Han Xuzhou’s fingers clenched against the armrest, veins bulging with restrained strength.

Another cold laugh.

Even Chen Ji thought his boss was acting off today.

Li Fan glanced at Chen Ji sympathetically.

[Poor guy, having to serve such a moody boss.]

006: [He doesn’t need your sympathy. His annual salary is in the tens of millions. You only make five hundred thousand a month and don’t even have a year-end bonus. He’s doing better than you.]

Li Fan: “……”

That sympathy? Gone in an instant.

006: [Though he is kind of pitiful too. He had a girlfriend for two years. But before she got with him, she already had a boyfriend — she chased Chen Ji because he was rich and naive. After they got together, she started leeching money from Chen Ji to support her previous boyfriend.]

Li Fan was stunned.

[Oh my god, that’s shameless — using Chen Ji’s money to support another man?!]

Han Xuzhou: “???”

Who? Who used Chen Ji’s money to support another man?

Even though Han Xuzhou hadn’t caught the full story, his sharp mind quickly connected the dots — Chen Ji’s girlfriend.

Chen Ji wasn’t sure if he was imagining it, but Han Xuzhou was acting even weirder today.

The way he looked at him made his scalp tingle.

“Master Han?”

Han Xuzhou calmly withdrew his gaze. “Nothing.”

Chen Ji: “……”
No, I’m pretty sure something’s up.

Li Fan glanced at the time and politely asked, “Mr. Han, would you like to stay for dinner? I’m having hotpot tonight.”

Just as Chen Ji thought Han Xuzhou would surely refuse, he nodded.

“Sure.”

Chen Ji: “???”

Li Fan smiled slightly. “Special Assistant Chen, why don’t you join us too?”

Chen Ji stiffly nodded, feeling that Li Fan was acting weird too.

Sister Lan brought over a yin-yang hotpot base.

Dish after dish came out one after another.

Broccoli, cilantro, lettuce stems, spinach noodles, green tofu skin…

Han Xuzhou: “……”

Chen Ji scratched his ear, feeling something was off.

As the three sat around the table, Li Fan beamed at Chen Ji.

“Special Assistant Chen, I specially prepared these for you. Do you like them?”

Chen Ji was flattered and nodded repeatedly.

“Love them! Madam, how did you know green is my favorite? Green is my lucky color!”

Han Xuzhou: “.”

Li Fan: “.”
