Standing Next To You-Chapter 227: Undeserving of his master

Butler Xin’s thoughts shifted to the ’Tears of Mermaid,’ which had suddenly appeared in his master’s possession. Unable to contain his curiosity, he voiced his question, "By the way, Master, where did you get that earring?"

Unlike Li Mei, Butler Xin was more aware of Lin Ginxian’s situation.

There was no way Lin Ginxian would buy such an expensive item for Bei Sangyun, and Bei Sangyun’s private account couldn’t afford to spend six million on just a pair of earrings.

After all, Bei Sangyun’s money, including the ’compensation’ she received from Old Master Lin, was invested in the companies they were supporting.

A smile suddenly appeared on Bei Sangyun’s face. She didn’t hide it from Butler Xin. "From my future husband."

Butler Xin froze for a moment, then his eyes widened. When did his master get engaged? Why was he not informed?

Wait, was it that Fei Chuan boy?

"Master, you—" As Butler Xin stammered, a knock on the door interrupted them.

Maid Ye Zhai’s voice sounded from outside, "Young Miss, a package has arrived for you."

Butler Xin opened the door and saw Maid Ye Zhai holding a bouquet of flowers. There was a rare smile on Maid Ye Zhai’s usually expressionless face.

Looking at the card’s sender, Butler Xin saw a familiar name. His face turned ugly, and he glared at Maid Ye Zhai. "Why didn’t you report it to me first?"

Maid Ye Zhai remained unaffected by his ugly expression and calmly replied, "I tried to call you, but your phone couldn’t be reached. Since you are here in Young Miss’s study room, I figured I would directly send it to her."

Butler Xin continued to glare at Maid Ye Zhai. This was the first time he had seen her take the initiative and even disobey the rules in this place.

Bei Sangyun glanced in their direction, saying, "Maid Ye Zhai wouldn’t bring it to me unless it’s from someone unimportant. Who is the sender?"

Butler Xin, attempting to downplay the situation, wanted to claim it was from someone unimportant, but Maid Ye Zhai beat him to it.

"It is from the boy Fei Chuan, Young Miss," she announced, a hint of a smile in her voice.

Bei Sangyun’s eyes brightened. She hurriedly stood up, excitedly accepting the flowers.

"From him? Could it be he finally thought about it?" She took the card and read it.

[For my beautiful partner. Thank you for accompanying me.]

A smile blossomed on her face. "What a sweet message. It’s very unlike him."

Although Bei Sangyun recognized that it wasn’t Fei Chuan’s handwriting and the message was not quite his style, the address did confirm it came from Fei Chuan’s mansion.

Not dwelling too much on it, Bei Sangyun thought the fact that she received flowers for the first time in this life from Fei Chuan was enough to brighten her day.

"Young Miss, how about you write a reply?" Maid Ye Zhai suggested.

Bei Sangyun was excited by the idea and immediately asked for a card. "But what should I give him in return?"

Butler Xin, observing the two ladies excitedly fussing about the flower, finally interjected, "You don’t have to reply or send back a gift. Didn’t you say that your value rises if there is a high demand for you? If you gift back, that person will only think you are too available, and your value will lower."

Butler Xin was speaking somewhat nonsensically, but he managed to throw Bei Sangyun’s own words back at her.

However, Maid Ye Zhai disagreed, "You may be right. But that can only be used depending on the situation and the party involved. Young Master Fei Chuan is unlike other people." She turned to Bei Sangyun and gave her sincere advice, "It is better to seize this opportunity to deepen your relationship."

Bei Sangyun agreed with Maid Ye Zhai and wrote a letter. Since she didn’t know what gift to give him, she planned to decide later.

Butler Xin, watching the two excitedly send the letter out, couldn’t help but comment, "If you just want to reply, there’s no need to send a card. Just email him."

Maid Ye Zhai replied, "The method is also very important. Do you know many people use traditional courting? It is because it is more romantic."

Butler Xin: "...."

A while later, Butler Xin dragged Maid Ye Zhai out of Bei Sangyun’s office and questioned her.

"What’s the matter with you? It’s the first time I’ve seen you so excited. Are you a spy from the Fei family?"

Maid Ye Zhai looked at him strangely, "I should be the one asking you. Why are you so bitter? Isn’t it good for the Young Miss to take this opportunity? She likes that Young Master. I am just helping Young Miss."

"What’s so good about him? The Young Miss deserves better!"

"The Young Miss knows what she wants. Since she likes that boy, I’m sure he has good qualities. Besides, you saw him that day. He is definitely extraordinary."

Butler Xin looked at Maid Ye Zhai dumbfoundedly. She was always expressionless and calm, doing her tasks without question and working effectively. This was the first time he had seen her passionately defend someone.

"You must be a spy," Butler Xin repeated.

Maid Ye Zhai couldn’t help but glare at him. "Why can’t you be happy for Young Miss? Can’t you see that she is like a normal person whenever that Young Master is involved? Her eyes shine whenever he is mentioned, and for the first time, she likes something. During the time I’ve worked for her, this is the first time I’ve seen her do something she likes. Can’t you be supportive?"

Butler Xin turned speechless. He tried to defend himself, "...But the Young Miss is too young for this."

Maid Ye Zhai finally expressed her irritation and rolled her eyes at him, "The fifth Young Miss has been engaged. And she is a year younger than our Young Miss."

She ’tsked’ at him. "If you’re not planning to help the Young Miss, then stay quiet and don’t be a killjoy."

Butler Xin: "..."

He never expected Maid Ye Zhai to be so passionate about this.

He sighed defeatedly. He felt like a father who had taken care and watched his daughter grow up, only to see her taken away by others.
