"Since you want to become a maid in our wealthy family, I think you should be mentally prepared for everything!"
"Come, follow me upstairs! Let me see your cleaning skills in person!"
"If I am satisfied, I will naturally let you stay and give you a high-paying job that matches your abilities!"
Mu An's eyes were filled with extreme dominance, and his words were not at all veiled, seemingly hinting at something.
"Young Master, you..."
Ning'er couldn't help but speak.
She wanted to say, 'Isn't this developing a bit too fast?'
But upon seeing Mu An's eye signal, she wisely closed her mouth and said nothing more.
From what she knew about her young master...
'The young master must have his reasons for doing this!'
As his exclusive little maid, she naturally chose to unconditionally trust Mu An!
But the girl in red thought differently.
She only saw that she seemed to be 'walking into the tiger's den' again!
Clearly, she had just been tormented by him last night, and now she was being rushed into the next round?
Even with her cultivation level, she couldn't withstand it!
'I hope I'm just overthinking it...'
[From the girl in red's displeasure emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: About My New Maid Who Is Actually a Cold-Blooded Top Assassin] and [Cultivation Years +3 years]!]
"What's wrong, are you unwilling?"
Mu An raised an eyebrow.
But then he suddenly smiled.
"If you're unwilling, that's fine; this is supposed to be a mutual agreement!"
"I can give you some money to help with your living expenses for a while, which should be enough time for you to find another suitable job!"
This sounded like he was trying to push her away, and most normal people would definitely be willing to accept the latter condition.
After all, not everyone is prepared to 'sell themselves' to enter a wealthy family!
But unfortunately, Hong Yi definitely did not belong to the latter group.
She came with a mission.
If she failed to successfully infiltrate Mu An's side as a spy, it would mean mission failure!
Mu An believed that as a loyal supporter of the Dragon King, she would not want to fail so easily!
So, there was a high probability she would choose the former option.
Then his 'gold mine occupation' plan would be half successful!
The corners of the man's mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly.
'Little female lead, easily manipulated!'
On the other side,
Hong Yi was also hesitating.
Should she go?
Or stay?
It was just a thought away!
'No!'
'If I miss this opportunity, getting close to this guy next time might be even more troublesome!'
Thinking of this, she had already made up her mind.
Ning Er was quite sensible; neither side interrupted, just quietly standing behind Mu An.
She secretly watched the man's back, which made her feel incredibly warm and secure!
"Ning Er, see our guest out!"
Mu An waved his hand impatiently.
He wouldn't give her too much time to think.
Although he was confident that Hong Yi would definitely stay, a timely threat could shorten her feigned hesitation!
"Wait! I... I'm willing to give it a try!"
"My grandparents are sick and urgently need money; I can't wait any longer!"
Hong Yi placed one hand on her chest and pretended to be 'wronged' as she spoke.
She even remembered to give herself a way out.
It sounded very reasonable, and any normal person hearing it would instinctively feel sympathy.
They might not want to hurt this poor girl who was trying hard to find a job and earn money!
But Mu An, who saw through everything, was clearly not one of them.
He simply said lightly,
"Then come upstairs with me now!"
As he turned and walked upstairs, the corners of his mouth once again lifted.
'The fish has finally taken the bait!'
'Get ready to be showered with gold coins! Hehehe!'
Is it that urgent?
Hong Yi couldn't help but curse inwardly.
But in order to complete the Dragon King's mission, she didn't dare to slack off and nervously followed him upstairs, her expression a mix of tension and fear, making sure to portray the rural girl character authentically, every move fitting her identity.
Click!
The door was closed.
Mu An pressed closer to the girl.
Hong Yi pretended to be scared and kept retreating.
Just like that, she was pushed into a corner, with no way to retreat!
"Young Master Mu, please don't do this! Didn't we agree that you would only clean?"
Hong Yi pleaded with a tearful expression, as if she were 'on the brink of death' and still begging him to spare her.
"What if I insist on this? Before you refuse me, think about your grandparents."
"You wouldn't want your sick grandparents to have no money for the hospital, would you?"
Seeing that she was still acting, Mu An naturally played along.
He smiled wickedly, seemingly in character, playing the 'bad guy' vividly!
To apply more psychological pressure, the man leaned in and pinned her against the wall, their eyes locking.
"Please don't do this, or I... I will..."
Hong Yi actually started to cry, giving off a vibe of 'if you push me, I'll die to make a point.'
Still acting at this point?
Mu An couldn't help but want to laugh.
But he had to admit, she was indeed a top assassin; her performance was excellent!
She truly brought the rural girl character to life!
With such acting skills, she could probably win an Oscar without a problem!
"That's enough, my dear Miss Hong Yi!"
Mu An didn't lean in closer; instead, he suddenly pulled away, sitting down on his soft bed.
The wicked expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a calm and stable demeanor.
Upon hearing this, Hong Yi's pupils constricted.
Did he just call her by her real name?
"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand! Who is Hong Yi?"
Hong Yi still pretended to be timid.
But when Mu An smiled at her and raised three fingers,
She knew she had completely exposed herself!
In an instant, her expression shifted from rich and varied to a cold, expressionless one.
Mu An couldn't help but marvel at how quickly the girl could change her demeanor, almost surpassing the speed of a high-speed train!
"How did you see through me!"
Hong Yi stopped pretending.
She crossed her arms, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, quietly watching Mu An.
Her cold and stunning profile was incredibly charming, with curves and beauty perfectly balanced.
Like a masterpiece of nature, it was breathtaking!
Now that she had been exposed, should she change her strategy?
For example, try to take down this rich kid again?!
In an instant, Hong Yi's gaze towards Mu An turned hostile.
After all, he was the jerk who had bullied her three times!
