The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 41

The word “son” instantly filled Jiang Xu with strength, and he rushed over in one stride.

Zhang Chao pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, “Xixi, are you and your senior He Zhuo very close?”

“He’s a really nice person, very generous. When I worked as his dog nanny, he paid me several times the market rate, and he always took good care of me.”

Although she was initially forced to make a deal with He Zhuo to become Xiao Du’s nanny because of the 100 million yuan compensation, He Zhuo would occasionally find excuses to give her money while taking care of Xiao Du.

Although He Zhuo is a bit of a weirdo, objectively speaking, he is indeed excellent in his treatment of her as an “employee.” He pays her the money she is owed, and even pays her a considerable amount.

“So, an employment relationship?”

Jiang Youxi noticed something and looked at him: “Why do you ask that?”

“Xixi, don’t you feel…” Zhang Chao hesitated for two seconds, “that your senior He Zhuo treats you… a little differently?”

“What’s different?” Jiang Youxi turned her head and glanced at the man following behind her, who seemed utterly bored. “A handsome man who’s so good-looking he’s practically inhuman, a visual tycoon who can carve out a successful career in the entertainment industry in just six months?”

If that’s the case, then it’s definitely different.

He Zhuo is indeed so handsome that he is on a completely different level from ordinary people; he is the pinnacle of good looks.

“No, I mean… he seems to like you.”

Jiang Youxi almost choked on her saliva. Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Xu suddenly jumped out and hooked his arm around Zhang Chao’s shoulder: “Uncle Zhang Chao, I want to buy a basketball, but I don’t know where to buy one. You’re familiar with this place, can you take me to see one?”

“But I want to be with Xixi…”

“Don’t worry, my mom will have someone with her. Let’s go.”

“Your mother?” Zhang Chao was about to ask further when Jiang Xu half-pushed and half-pulled him away.

“Hey, Jiang Xu, where are you taking him?”

“Go where he should go.”

Jiang Youxi suddenly turned around, looked at the still calm and composed man, and narrowed her eyes: “He Zhuo, you were the one who asked Jiang Xu to send Zhang Chao away, weren’t you?”

He Zhuo rubbed her head and smiled, “This head is not only round, but also very smart.”

Jiang Youxi pulled his hand away: “What did Zhang Chao do to you? I get the feeling you don’t like him.”

“You want me, a grown man, to like him?” He Zhuo put his hands in his pockets and sneered. “Jiang Youxi, aren’t you putting me in a difficult position?”

“…”

What nonsense are you talking about?

Jiang Youxi was too lazy to argue with him and continued walking forward.

There were many people at the market today; it was very crowded.

Jiang Youxi tried her best to follow the flow of people forward, but unexpectedly, the person in front of her suddenly stepped back and stepped directly on her foot.

She stumbled and fell backward.

He placed one hand against her back, then his palm moved down to wrap around her waist, stabilizing her body.

Be careful.

Jiang Youxi steadied herself and looked up at him.

He Zhuo happened to be looking down at her as well.

Their eyes met.

He Zhuo tapped her nose with his finger: “Why are you looking at me?”

Jiang Youxi suddenly covered her nose and quickly took a few steps forward.

“Aren’t you going to wait for me?”

“Can’t you walk by yourself?”

“I’m in an unfamiliar place, where will you find me if I get lost?”

Jiang Youxi then realized that He Zhuo was not from Luyang Township and was attending the market for the first time, so he was indeed unfamiliar with the place.

“Okay, you stay behind me and don’t get lost.”

“I won’t follow.”

“Then you go ahead of me.”

“I won’t leave.”

“…”

Pampered young masters are so hard to please!

Jiang Youxi turned back, smiled, and said, “So how do you want to get there? Climb or be dragged? Choose one.”

He Zhuo reached out his hand to her.

Jiang Youxi paused: “What? Do you want money?”

“Take the lead.”

She tried to take his hand: “Like this?”

The man shifted his hand gesture, turning from passive to active, spreading his fingers and forcefully inserting them between hers, gripping her tightly: “Smart.”

“…”

Even holding hands is so roundabout, it’s exhausting!

Jiang Youxi gave a helpless hum, then took his hand and turned to continue walking forward.

Since starting high school, her life has been filled with heavy academic workload. Jiang Youxi hasn’t had a proper chance to relax or go to the market in a long time.

Seeing the dazzling array of goods on the roadside, Jiang Youxi was overjoyed, constantly weaving through the crowd, as happy as a little bird.

The little girl would buy anything she liked, anything fun, or anything suitable for her uncle and aunt.

But every time it was time to pay, He Zhuo always managed to find an opportunity to pay first.

After several attempts, Jiang Youxi protested, “Why are you paying for me?”

She bought things for her uncles and aunts as a way of showing respect and filial piety to her elders.

But now He Zhuo has insisted on paying, so her good intentions have been wasted.

Now it’s the other way around, making it seem like his aunt and uncle belong to his family.

“I’m showing respect to my master, when did I help you?”

“Master? What master?”

He Zhuo looked at her calmly: “Didn’t your uncle tell you? He took me as his disciple, and I am now his last disciple.”

“…”

What closed-door disciple?

This is the first time my uncle has taken on an apprentice!

never mind.

Since he likes to be filial to his uncle so much, let him be.

The child’s father’s money is better spent than wasted.

After figuring things out, Jiang Youxi became even more reckless. From then on, she stopped looking at the price when buying things, and bought them for her uncle and the others if she saw something suitable or thought it looked nice.

However, Jiang Youxi didn’t buy anything indiscriminately; she only bought essential winter items.

For example, I bought quite a lot of cotton-padded clothes, gloves, and hats.

He Zhuo was carrying large and small bags in both hands, leaving no free hands, and he also had to act as a model to try on clothes.

He Zhuo has a good figure and is a typical clothes hanger, so when Jiang Youxi comes across clothes that are suitable for her uncle and Jiang Shaoyang, she always asks He Zhuo to try them on and see how they look.

He tried on many outfits, and some of them looked ordinary to Jiang Youxi, but when He Zhuo wore them, the clothes seemed to transform from cheap street vendor goods into designer custom-made items, instantly elevating their status and giving them a sense of luxury and sophistication.

The shop owner standing nearby stared with shining eyes and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Youxi, where did you find your boyfriend? He’s not only handsome, but he also has such a great physique! He’s practically a walking clothes hanger!”

“Go ask him if he’s interested in being a model for my shop,” the proprietress said excitedly, waving one hand. “I’ll give him this price.”

Five thousand a day?

“Five thousand per hour!”

Jiang Youxi was stunned.

so much?!

Good looks really do have an edge!

The curtain was lifted, and He Zhuo lazily called to her—

“Girlfriend, come here for a second.”
