Chapter 44: The Steward is in Place

The grandest estate in Mo Du was born with a bang, and as the owner of the estate, Ye Xuan felt very honored.

It was a mansion made up of six luxurious villas!

His gaze fell on Huang Hui beside him, his eyes full of tenderness as he planned to appoint her as the housekeeper. This was not a random decision since Huang Hui was a graduate of a top-tier university's management department, possessing exceptional language talents and proficiency in several mainstream languages, making her well-prepared for future international endeavors. She had also taken courses related to diplomatic etiquette, making her not just top-notch academically, but also practically adept.

While any one of these achievements might not be out of the ordinary, taken together, it could be said that someone like Huang Hui was an absolute academic overachiever. And to add to that, she was already his person, making it reassuring to entrust her with the management of the estate.

Having acquired the estate, it was only logical that it would require a large number of staff to operate. This would include chefs, bodyguards, drivers, gardeners, and of course, maids—adorable maids in maid uniforms. Just the thought of it brightened Ye Xuan's eyes and brought a faint smile to his face. This could not be omitted!

With the house and housekeeper in place, all that was left was for Li Xueting, his personal secretary, to arrive in a few days for the perfect landlord lifestyle to truly begin.

As for recruiting staff, it wasn’t urgent, and Ye Xuan had no intention of doing it personally. He planned to let Huang Hui handle it, also providing an opportunity for her to develop her abilities. Meanwhile, he could peacefully enjoy his life as the master of the estate, without any worries, and make some money.

Watching Huang Hui, who still seemed unwell, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth.

Right now, it seemed that she would find it difficult to even walk, let alone manage recruitment. It was necessary to ensure she recovered before attempting to hire people.

Moreover, it was late, and since the villa had been bought, there was no need to return to his hotel.

No matter how good the hotel was, it couldn't compare to home. Besides, the super five-star hotel may not necessarily be better than his estate. When compared, both had their own merits.

Since this place belonged to him now, he could drive directly in instead of taking the sightseeing bus.

Bringing Huang Hui to the Lamborghini, they drove straight in.

Stepping in once again, it now belonged to someone, and everything looked familiar and comforting.

Perhaps this was just a psychological effect. In the beginning, he didn't feel this sense of comfort because he didn't consider it his own.

Ye Xuan parked in the middle of the villas, where he would be living from now on.

There was no need to choose the room, as the largest master bedroom in the middle naturally belonged to Ye Xuan. As for Huang Hui, she could have any of the other rooms, even sharing with Ye Xuan if she wished.

To this, Ye Xuan had no objections; unless the other party could withstand his attacks.

As it was already late, it was time to prepare dinner.

Since the villa had just been purchased and there were no chefs, they had the option of dining out or preparing their own meal.

Originally, Ye Xuan was considering eating out. While he could make some home-cooked dishes, they would only be edible and fall far short of being delicious. It would be better not to embarrass himself with this level of cooking.

However, Huang Hui volunteered to cook, despite still feeling unwell. As long as she didn't engage in too strenuous activity, cooking wouldn't be a problem.

Ye Xuan agreed, curious to taste the cooking skills of his new housekeeper.

Thankfully, the manager before had made good preparations, even purchasing a lot of fresh ingredients which were now neatly arranged in the refrigerator. They had everything they needed for the meal without having to go out to buy anything.

Wearing an apron, Huang Hui looked quite capable in the kitchen.

As Ye Xuan stood by to help, he occasionally made some suggestive gestures, causing warmth to fill the entire kitchen.

By the time the meal was ready, Huang Hui was already blushing with embarrassment. If it weren't for her feeling unwell, she might have taken action long before.

Soon, the three dishes and one soup were ready.

Blushing, Huang Hui sat across from Ye Xuan, her cheeks burning as she looked at his fiery gaze. She felt so shy and lowered her head.

Especially when she thought about what had just happened in the kitchen, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.

"Breakfast?"

Ye Xuan asked with a smile, picking up his chopsticks and taking a bite. His cooking skills were not bad, but compared to He Yue, they were far inferior. After all, she had specialized training.

However, for a girl to cook this well was already impressive, better than the vast majority of people.

After finishing their meal, the two of them teased each other and then fell asleep in each other's arms.

Early the next morning, Ye Xuan woke up from his slumber. Looking at the person in his arms, who was snuggled up close to him.

The delicate face made him unable to resist reaching out to touch it.

This action caused Huang Hui to wrinkle her cute little nose, and she shifted slightly in her sleep.

Seeing her fluttering eyelashes, Ye Xuan already knew that she was awake.

"Smack!"

He smacked Huang Hui hard on the body, catching her off guard and causing her to jump up with a scream.

Because of her transparent nightgown, Ye Xuan could clearly see her perfect figure.

Huang Hui gave Ye Xuan an aggrieved look while the spot where she was hit turned red.

"Honey, what are you doing?" She pouted discontentedly. "Can't I have a peaceful sleep early in the morning?"

Seeing her behaving like a pouting young wife, Ye Xuan chuckled, "You were already awake, pretending to be asleep. This is your punishment."

"Alright, get up, you're hungry."

Without a word, they both got up to get dressed. It was at this moment that Huang Hui realized that all her clothes from last night had been washed and were probably not dry yet.

She glanced at her semi-transparent nightgown and blushed, not wanting to have to wear it for the time being.

Although they were already married, it was still embarrassing. But apart from those few pieces of nightwear, she had no other clothes. The one she was wearing was the most conservative one.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xuan, curious, asked as he saw Huang Hui lost in thought.

"N-nothing!" Huang Hui shook her head and, with her body already exposed, what difference would it make if she continued wearing it? She gritted her teeth and went out to start making breakfast.

Watching her retreating figure, Ye Xuan smiled lightly, his eyes filled with an inscrutable meaning.
