41: Rules for Employers

Wu Fan transferred 10,000 yuan to Mao Jiajia: {"This is just a token for now. Once we weather the storm, I'll give you a luxurious reward."}

Mao Jiajia happily replied: {"Thank you, Brother Fan, for the sustenance. Once we become closer, your little sister will introduce you to a great group that men only dream of."}

Wu Fan curiously asked: {"What kind of great group? Is it full of beautiful women?"}

Mao Jiajia said: {"Haha, you're an old driver after all; you guessed it right away."}

Wu Fan: {"Alright, I'll wait quietly for the great group."}

Mao Jiajia replied with a secretive smile emoji.

Wu Fan hadn't expected Xiao Ai to have already prepared a table full of dishes. She lightly knocked on the door from outside: "Brother Fan, it's time to eat."

Wu Fan ended the wechat chat with Mao Jiajia, went out, and pinched Xiao Ai's doll-like face: "You are so good."

Wu Fan tasted the dishes Xiao Ai had cooked; they were perfectly suited to his palate.

Wu Fan took out his phone and transferred 50,000 yuan to her, saying: "Keep this money; it's the living expenses for this month. Anything the house needs, and all the grocery shopping, is up to you."

Xiao Ai obediently accepted the money.

Wu Fan added: "If the money isn't enough, tell me anytime."

Xiao Ai nodded, looking obedient and sweet.

It had been a long time since Wu Fan had eaten such delicious food. In his memory, the last time was many years ago, prepared by his mother back in his hometown.

After the divorce, Wu Fan had always cooked for himself, and he usually lost his appetite right after finishing the cooking.

It was as if the greasy smoke from his own cooking had filled him up.

"Why are you standing there? Sit down and eat with me."

Only then did Wu Fan realize that Xiao Ai was standing stiffly beside him, like a maidservant.

"Brother Fan, you are the master. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to eat with you?"

Wu Fan laughed heartily: "There aren't so many useless rules. Hurry up and sit down. Since you call me Brother Fan, just treat me like your close older brother."

Xiao Ai's pretty face flushed, and she finally sat down across from him.

Wu Fan asked: "Can you drive?"

Xiao Ai whispered: "For people who come from our domestic service company, driving is an essential basic skill."

Wu Fan nodded: "I'll take you to buy a car. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you to pick up Yaoyao from school and go grocery shopping."

Xiao Ai looked at Wu Fan in surprise, finding it hard to believe.

Isn't that too generous?

But why does he live in such an old commodity apartment?

Xiao Ai felt puzzled in her heart.

It wasn't that Wu Fan hadn't considered using the multiple cashback method to buy a new house, or even a villa.

But he was a bit reluctant to leave Fang Hanyu.

After they finished eating, the two went to the BMW 4S shop. Wu Fan spent nearly 400,000 yuan to buy her a white car.

Of course, this was thanks to the consumption cashback, allowing him to pay in full.

Xiao Ai said somewhat shyly: "Brother Fan, I drive better than you do. Should we switch cars?"

Wu Fan said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. A car is just a means of transportation."

Seeing that the time was right, they each drove their own car to Yaoyao's kindergarten.

The two got out of their cars and stood in a corner, chatting casually.

Wu Fan told Xiao Ai about Yaoyao's likes and dislikes, hoping that she would understand Yaoyao better and that Yaoyao would like her.

Zhou Ruyan suddenly walked over. She looked at Xiao Ai with a somewhat wary gaze: "Wu Fan, whose mother is this? She is truly beautiful."

Wu Fan said: "This is Xiao Ai, the housekeeper I just hired. When I'm busy in the future, I'll have her pick up Yaoyao from school."

Zhou Ruyan frowned slightly and said: "Boss Wu is rich. If you are busy someday, you could actually just tell me, and I could take Yaoyao to my shop."

Wu Fan smiled heartily: "I hired Xiao Ai mainly so she can manage things at home."

He looked at Zhou Ruyan and continued meaningfully: "I'll have more free time from now on. We can hang out whenever we want."

Zhou Ruyan met Wu Fan's gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded.

They were both adults; she understood Wu Fan's implied meaning. After all, she had already given Wu Fan her promise during their last wechat conversation.

Yaoyao and Sweetie still came out hand-in-hand.

Wu Fan introduced Xiao Ai to Yaoyao. The two were quite compatible and quickly hit it off.

Xiao Ai was quite skilled at coaxing children.

After dinner, she would accompany Yaoyao to draw, read ancient poetry, play puzzles, stack building blocks, and so on, getting along very harmoniously.

Wu Fan was glad that he had created three rooms during the renovation back then, otherwise Xiao Ai wouldn't have anywhere to stay.

When this commodity apartment was bought, it only had two rooms. When Wu Fan renovated, he partitioned off a small room in the living room that could only fit one bed, and installed a sliding door to save space.

His consideration at the time was to ensure his parents from his hometown would have a place to stay if they visited.

Because of this matter, he and his Ex-Wife Liu Yue had several arguments.

Liu Yue's attitude at the time was very strong; the old couple absolutely could not stay there.

Wu Fan eventually had to compromise for the sake of family harmony.

Up until now, his parents still hadn't visited Island City.

When he buys a large villa in Island City later, he must bring them over to enjoy a few days of peace and comfort.

After Yaoyao fell asleep, Wu Fan said to Xiao Ai: "There is a request I want to make of you."

Xiao Ai looked at Wu Fan somewhat nervously.

Wu Fan paused for a few seconds and said: "You are the housekeeper I hired, and you are the person closest to me. You must maintain absolute secrecy regarding my private life. No matter what you see or hear, you must keep it in your heart and never tell anyone. Do you understand?"

Xiao Ai nodded repeatedly: "Brother Fan, I understand this. Please rest assured, this was also a requirement during our training."

Wu Fan looked at her delicate and lovely appearance, raised his hand to hug her neck, and kissed her red lips.

Xiao Ai murmured softly and actively cooperated.

A few minutes later, Wu Fan released her, stepped back, and said: "Your brother has many women. You won't be jealous, right?"

Xiao Ai smiled bashfully: "Brother Fan, I am someone you hired with money. What right do I have to interfere with your private life? I certainly won't be jealous. Please rest assured, I know my place."

Wu Fan pulled her into his embrace, gently stroked her back, and said affectionately: "It seems I made the right choice in picking you."

"I'm going out to have some fun. I'm leaving the house to you."

Xiao Ai looked up and said obediently: "Understood, Brother Fan. Go ahead."

Wu Fan went out, naturally glanced at Fang Hanyu's home—there was no movement—and then went downstairs.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a random gift of 30,000 yuan. Current account balance: 245,000 yuan.]

Wu Fan glanced at the system panel and muttered to himself, "system great one, I've been waiting for days for you to reward me with cash."

He took out his phone and dialed Liu Tingting's number...
