26: It turns out that the young master is in the mood for housekeeping today!

"Young Miss, you wouldn't know, but I once saw a girl who also came to see CEO Lu in the morning, just like you."

"She accidentally woke CEO Lu up, and after he scolded her fiercely, she was kicked out of Yuhua Manor. I haven't seen her since."

Wang Qiang shook his head, his tone slightly wistful.

Chen Mengyao stood rooted to the spot, stunned.

She suddenly remembered that when she first called Lu Chen, his tone had indeed contained anger.

But when Lu Chen heard it was her voice, his tone softened.

Compared to the girl the security guard spoke of, Lu Chen had truly been very kind to her.

This should... be a form of favoritism, right?

Chen Mengyao stood still for a long time, Wang Qiang's words echoing in her mind.

Her cheeks felt warm, her heart rate quickened, and her heart pounded wildly, as if a little deer was trapped inside her. A strange sweetness inexplicably welled up within her.

Just then, Wang Qiang respectfully added:

"Keep it up, Young Miss. Maybe in a few days, I'll be calling you Mrs. Lu."

After speaking, he didn't linger and immediately drove away.

Chen Mengyao's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, her delicate body trembled slightly, and then she hurried away in a fluster.

She stood outside the villa, gazing up at the magnificent grand villa, a complex expression in her eyes.

How could this be just a villa? This was clearly a massive, luxurious palace complex!

The entire palace complex was situated in the best hillside area of Yuhua Manor, occupying almost all of Yuhua Manor's scenic advantages. It was completely covered by lush forests, with birds chirping and green grass providing shade, like a secluded paradise. In the distance, mists swirled, resembling a fairyland.

From here, one could even overlook the scenery of the entire city.

This was a giant manor built on a mountain.

Inside the manor, flowers bloomed in profusion, and facilities like rockeries, fountains, and lakes were arranged with exquisite beauty.

In front of the manor, there was a huge sculpture, a majestic and powerful golden Dragon.

The golden Dragon coiled in the sky, looking down upon the firmament.

What shocked Chen Mengyao even more was that...

The outer perimeter of the palace was filled with black-clad men carrying loaded firearms.

Seeing Chen Mengyao approach, all the black-clad men became vigilant and looked at her in unison.

Intense fear welled up on Chen Mengyao's face, and she instinctively took two steps back.

Although her courage wasn't too small, and she usually dared to argue with people, she even dared to go out with a utility knife.

But at this moment, her legs felt a little weak.

She had thought Lu Chen was already very wealthy, but now she truly understood what real wealth meant.

Poverty had indeed limited her imagination.

Fortunately, the butler was already standing at the door to greet her, and upon seeing her, he immediately hurried over.

"Young Miss, welcome to Yuhua Manor. The Young Master has been waiting for you upstairs for a long time."

Chen Mengyao lightly nodded her head, her body tense as she walked inside.

The butler followed her, introducing the manor's basic facilities along the way.

The manor's area was vast, spanning several thousand acres, and it was fully equipped with various facilities.

Besides residential buildings, all the others were entertainment venues, including bars, KTVs, gyms, cinemas, golf courses, swimming pools, restaurants, coffee shops, saunas, bathrooms, gyms, libraries, sunrooms, card rooms, tea rooms, massage rooms... truly everything imaginable.

Unique and modern villas were nestled within, each with its own distinct value in terms of Supporting Facilities (supporting facilities).

Moreover, a large observation deck had been built on the mountaintop, offering a panoramic view of the entire city.

Chen Mengyao witnessed it all, feeling a little dizzy.

Because she even saw a small hospital and a school!

She could understand the hospital; super-rich people usually had private doctors.

But why would a school also appear here?

Does CEO Lu usually attend classes here?

The more Chen Mengyao thought, the more confused she became, and finally, she couldn't help but ask:

"Butler, does CEO Lu usually need to... attend classes?"

The butler smiled, his eyes a little strange: "Of course. CEO Lu is occasionally a student, occasionally a teacher, occasionally a principal, and sometimes even the dean of students. This isn't fixed; it mainly depends on CEO Lu's mood that day."

"Ah?" Chen Mengyao's expression grew even more puzzled upon hearing this.

What did that mean?

How could Lu Chen be both a student and a teacher, and even a principal?

Chen Mengyao, as a top student who received scholarships every year, couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought.

"Hehe, no need to be surprised." The butler chuckled and continued to introduce the layout of the manor:

"This is the Young Master's private manor, possessing absolute concealment and privacy. Additionally, the environment here is very tranquil, and the air is excellent, making it a superb place for vacation and leisure, especially suitable for a young lady like you to reside in."

"I... I'm not here for vacation and leisure, I'm here to do housework," Chen Mengyao said softly, her head lowered, explaining.

"Housework?" The butler was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.

So the Young Master's interest today was domestic service!

He understood!

"Alright, I understand. Please follow me." The butler nodded slightly and gestured for Chen Mengyao to follow him inside.

Chen Mengyao followed the butler, bypassing rockeries and fountains, and passing through a large courtyard.

She then passed through a long corridor, flower beds, an arch bridge, and pavilions, finally arriving in front of a classical yet grand villa.

Along the way, Chen Mengyao kept sneaking glances around.

The closer she got to the villa, the more oppressed Chen Mengyao felt.

It was a suffocating sense of pressure.

She saw many maids busy in this luxurious manor.

Their figures were either plump or slender, wearing unified, cool black-stocking maid outfits. Their appearances were beautiful, and their eyes, when they looked around, were full of spirit and charm.

Some were wiping tables and chairs, some were cleaning the courtyard and pruning flowers, and some were arranging potted plants... And everyone was orderly, their movements gentle and skilled.

This atmosphere made Chen Mengyao's breathing quicken, and her chest rose and fell dramatically.

With so many professional maids in Lu Chen's house, did he still need a small housekeeper like her?

So... what exactly was Lu Chen's purpose with her?

Chen Mengyao's mind was in a mess, and at the same time, she felt a little guilty.

In front of so many professional maids, her presence as a housekeeper felt very insignificant... "Young Miss? Young Miss?"

The butler's inquiry came from beside her.

Chen Mengyao instantly sobered up and quickly forced a smile: "I'm here."

"The Young Master is on the third floor. Please go in." The butler pushed open the door and stepped aside.

Chen Mengyao bit her lip, gathered her courage, and stepped inside, looking up at the same time.

This villa was not tall, only three stories high, but it was the largest building in the entire manor and the most luxuriously decorated.

It was a large villa composed of European and Chinese structures, with all its exterior walls made of glass, glittering resplendently in the sunlight, as if built from stacked crystals.

Chen Mengyao looked at her surroundings, then took a deep breath and walked into the villa with graceful steps.

The vast living room was spacious and magnificent, its decor style the epitome of luxury and elegance; even the floor tiles were gilded!

She walked up the stairs, encountering several charming maids in black stockings along the way, who all greeted her.

Chen Mengyao was extremely nervous, only offering simple replies and not daring to speak much.

But for some reason, looking at the opulent environment before her, she suddenly felt a little agitated.

Before long, she finally reached the third floor.

As soon as she arrived, she smelled a faint fragrance.

"Miss Chen, the Young Master has been waiting for you in the bedroom for a long time."

A beautiful maid with a charming smile led her to Lu Chen's bedroom, saying so with elegant etiquette, and opened the bedroom door for her.

"Thank you."

Chen Mengyao gave her a bright smile, then slowly stepped into the bedroom.

The moment she stepped into the bedroom, her entire being instantly froze...
