45 MORE THAN ENOUGH PART 1 (1/2)

”…” Xue Lin couldn't utter a single word. Her mind wasn't functioning properly. Two minutes later, she gathered her thoughts and said, ”I don't need a personal maid. But if you insist on being my personal maid, you can try washing my clothes and serve meals. Anything more than that, I won't approve.”

Suzuku hesitated and took a glance at Ge Chen. He didn't say anything. He kept browsing the internet.

Xue Lin noticed her movement and said, ”Looking at him won't help you. If you are under me, you can work for me. But if you are with me because of someone else's command, you can leave. I lived without a maid. I won't die if I don't have a maid.” Her voice was firm and her words were straightforward.

Suzuku realized her mistakes. She quickly bowed and apologized, ”Young mistress, please forgive this foolish maid-”

Xue Lin interrupted her words, ”Wait! Hold on a second. What's with your language? I'm not an empress or a princess of an ancient kingdom. You are not a servant of the imperial family. Why are you talking like that? You are working and you are getting paid for it. You are not a slave. No one will cut your hand or tongue, nor they will kill you if you make mistakes. You are a citizen of China and so am I. And you are not a foolish maid. We all make mistakes from time to time.” She sighed and said, ”You can go for now. I want to rest.”

”Y-yes, young mistress. Have a pleasant dream,” saying that Suzuku left. She didn't forget to close the door.

Xue Lin exhaled and glanced at her husband. ”I hope the house we will move to B City isn't as luxurious as this one.”

Ge Chen looked at her and said, ”The house I live in is indeed luxurious. It was my mother's villa. After my father divorced her, she took me there. As long as my mother was alive, I stayed there. After my mother's death, grandfather raised me here. When I turned eighteen, I moved there and lived alone.”

Xue Lin asked, ”Were you really alone? Wasn't there any servant?”

Ge Chen answered truthfully, ”There are ten servants in the villa including guards, chauffeur, and gardener.” One day, his wife has to manage the whole household.

She concluded, ”And if you add these Japanese sisters, it will be twelve.”

”That's right.” Ge Chen understood that she didn't like crowded places.

Xue Lin laid down and closed her eyes. She mumbled, ”Hah… So much for my peaceful life.”

He said, ”If you want, we can move to a cottage where only two of us can live.”

Xue Lin shook her head. ”There's no need. I can tolerate them as long as they don't bother me. We are leaving tomorrow, aren't we?”
