The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 417 - 416: Withered Tree Meets Spring

Lin Shuangxin thought he didn’t want to bring this up at all! It was Zhu Xiaoman who mentioned it first!

He spoke righteously, "Designer Zhu, there seems to be some misunderstanding here, and I don’t really understand what you mean by ’relaxing’..."

Zhu Xiaoman’s gaze was firmly fixed on him, nodding softly, "Okay, I get it."

What exactly do you get?!

Seeing that Designer Zhu’s expression was getting stranger by the minute, more radiant than usual when discussing designs, like a withered tree blossoming in spring, covered in colorful mushrooms.

It’s like she’s hallucinating from mushroom poisoning and seeing little figures!

Lin Shuang, fearing he might be devoured by her like a mushroom, felt an urge to flee, "Then I’ll be leaving first, Designer Zhu. You should get off work early too."

After all, Boss Lin isn’t going to pay for overtime!

Rising to leave, he could feel a burning gaze trailing him from behind, like thorns on his back.

Even after he closed the door behind him and left, that feeling persisted: the sense of being covertly watched! What a strong penetrative power!

No, no, it’s time to go home and hug my little sister to calm down, need a hug!

Driving home, Lin Shuang was oblivious to the bizarre things Zhu Xiaoman was doing in the office.

After he left, Zhu Xiaoman’s poisoned, dazed gaze wandered vacantly through the door for a long time before she snapped back to reality.

The designer opened a certain software on her computer, and then...

All the high-definition footage of Boss Lin, from when he entered to when he left the office, unfolded on her computer screen.

She had installed surveillance in the office! Not just one camera! They were all over the place!

On the screen, Boss Lin’s somewhat handsome face was being played from various angles, with no blind spots—a treatment not even minor celebrities get! So many camera positions!

What’s more, in her office computer, there was an additional hard drive with several terabytes of space, nearly packed full: it contained all the videos of Boss Lin entering her office ever since she joined Xiao Lin Group.

Boss Lin had once seen this hard drive by chance and casually asked what it contained because it was so full.

She answered that it was designer’s learning materials, and Boss Lin even praised her for her professionalism and passion for learning...

Now, Zhu Xiaoman looked at the "learning materials" on the screen: that is, Lin Shuang’s face, set it on loop, and then her gaze became distant...

Starting today’s relaxation session.

"Mmm... Lin Shuang..."

All the lights in the office were turned off, leaving only the glow from the screen, shining on Zhu Xiaoman’s nearly frenzied, mushroom-poisoned face.

She grabbed her cheeks with both hands, continually licking her lips with the tip of her tongue, whispering softly, "Caught you again... my little Shuangshuang..."

...If Lin Shuang saw this scene, he would definitely flee overnight with the company building on his back!

Yet he was blissfully unaware, happily en route home.

The car stopped at a traffic light, and he finally took another look at the group chat.

In the "One Happy Family" group chat, everyone was condemning him!

Lin Shuang scrolled back for a while, finally finding the instigator: Well played, Xia the enchantress!

Initially, it was Yan Han leading the charge to criticize Xia Yubing, who had finally bubbled up, "What on earth did you do to Brother Shuang at my place, Yubing? Why hasn’t he woken up yet, wu wu wu! Brother Shuang, please wake up!"

Little Ling Meng did the narration, "Master! Have you finally fallen due to the witch’s siege, out of strength? Can you stand up again? Can you still face Sister Han tonight?"

Su Wan also joined in, "Let’s wait and see!"

Yubing responded with a smile, "Ah la la, how could a weak woman like me fight against my strong husband? Even with Sister Yixin’s help for a two-against-one, we can’t win, so we need everyone’s help~"

Tong Yao, sneaking a peek at the group chat, blushed and typed, "That kind of thing is absolutely not okay!"

Little Ling Meng also looked shocked, her hands trembling slightly as she made milk tea, "While Shuishui and I are still good kids, everyone has already..."

"Bad woman!"

"Alright, I really was in a meeting this afternoon, Sister Yixin, hurry up and testify for me~"

"...Indeed at a meeting."

"Sister Yixin is an accomplice to the bad woman, her testimony isn’t reliable!"

Yubing used a distraction, "Oh my, hubby hasn’t gone back yet? He must be frolicking with some flowers and trouble somewhere~"

As expected, the group chat quickly shifted targets, bombarding Lin Shuang.

"Lin Dasha, come out!"

"Brother Shuang, you dare to fool around outside, but do you have the guts to come home!"

Rapidly skimming through the chat records, Lin Shuang replied with a smile, "I’m back, I’m back. What fooling around? Don’t listen to Yubing’s nonsense! It’s just the hardworking Boss Lin putting in extra hours at the office, absolutely no misdeeds!"

Yubing continued to fan the flames, "Whether or not you’ve been bad, Ayao needs to check thoroughly, okay?"

Xiao Han immediately jumped out, "Today it’s my turn to check homework! I’ll do the inspection!"

"Everyone together for a joint-inspection isn’t a bad idea, right?"

A multi-departmental joint-inspection, heavy punches to come!

"Absolutely not! I want to monopolize Brother Shuang!"

"Almost home, come to the door and give me a warm welcome~"

The green light lit up, Lin Shuang pressed the accelerator, eager to return.

On the other side, Yubing put down her phone, smiling as she spoke to Yixin, "Oh, Sister Yixin, you have to keep a close eye on that designer named Zhu Xiaoman at the office, okay?"

Yixin blinked dumbly, "Designer Zhu?"

Weren’t you, Miss, the one who personally took your husband-to-be to Shanghai to invite her back! What kind of move are you playing now, Miss!

Yubing laughed with profound meaning, "She’s the real head of the bad women."

Yixin shrank her neck, whispering, "...Worse than Miss?"

"Humph, I’ll teach Sister Yixin to be even worse tonight."

...

The results of the evening’s inspection left Xiao Han extremely satisfied, curling up in Lin Shuang’s embrace, sleeping very sweetly.

Honestly... the sleep-inducing effect of this matter was really good, everyone can give it a try.

Of course, if you can’t find a girl to help you with that... then you might have to help yourself, the effect is actually not bad too...

Lin Shuang, who had a villa girl help him sleep, had been sleeping particularly well these past few days.

But tonight, he had a dream.

[...]

[Memory Fragments unlocked]

When he opened his eyes, Lin Shuang found himself flying, flying swiftly, with the wind billowing his sleeves, an ethereal aura about him.

Without relying on anything, he was flying midair above a lush and verdant forest.

Was this also his memory? Was he playing a game?

Lin Shuang hadn’t yet figured out if this was the game or reality when a sword brushed past him, almost cutting his somewhat handsome face.

Then he remembered why he was flying.

Someone was trying to assassinate him!
