405: Hua Mengjie resigns

Seeing Hua Mengjie sobbing, Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly and said in a gentler tone, "Alright, alright, this cola was originally a reward for you! As long as you diligently do your housework every day from now on, you'll naturally get more good things like this! Don't cry!"

Hearing Chen Xuan's command, Hua Mengjie stopped crying abruptly as if someone had pressed a stop button, but intermittent sobs still escaped her lips.

She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a slight tremor in her voice, "I... boo hoo... I understand, Master."

Each word seemed to use up all her strength.

"Mm, that's good. I'm going to rest." Chen Xuan nodded expressionlessly, then stretched leisurely, yawning as he slowly turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Seeing this, Hua Mengjie quickly suppressed her sadness and hurried to follow Chen Xuan.

One hand gently supported Chen Xuan's arm, while the other continued to wipe the wet tear stains from her face with a handkerchief.

After entering the bedroom, Hua Mengjie carefully helped Chen Xuan sit by the bed, then gently began to make his bed.

Throughout the process, she kept her head down, not daring to make any eye contact with Chen Xuan, only the occasional sob indicating her inner pain and grievance at that moment.

Once everything was tidied up, Hua Mengjie stood silently to the side and softly said, "Master, the bed is made. Please rest early."

After speaking, she bowed deeply, then slowly turned and quietly exited the bedroom, gently closing the door behind her.

Subsequently, Hua Mengjie dragged her heavy steps back to her own room, and in an instant, as if all her strength had been drained, she collapsed limply onto the soft bed.

She tightly closed her eyes, trying to calm herself, but the unruly tears, like an out-of-control flood, surged out again.

In her room, all of Hua Mengjie's feigned strength completely crumbled.

"Wah! Boo hoo... boo hoo..." She finally could not suppress the deep pain and grievance in her heart and burst into loud sobs.

The tears of humiliation poured out of her eyes like a bursting dam, soaking a large part of the pillow.

Recalling the past three months, Chen Xuan had only teased her verbally, and although he occasionally had some improper physical contact, he was still a gentleman.

Although she felt uncomfortable and angry every time, Hua Mengjie always chose to silently endure it to keep this job.

However, today!!!

"I... I quit!"

Hua Mengjie was filled with shame and indignation, secretly determined not to continue enduring such humiliation.

At this moment, she no longer cared about any other consequences, only wanting to escape this tormenting place as soon as possible.

Perhaps due to physical and mental exhaustion, or perhaps from crying herself out, Hua Mengjie fell into a daze and then fell asleep.

But not long after, at the first light of dawn, she woke up early.

After opening her eyes, she did not get up immediately but lay quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her thoughts intertwining like tangled threads in her mind, lingering for a long time.

Subsequently, Hua Mengjie elegantly took off her "work uniform" and changed into her own clothes. In an instant, her originally gentle and amiable demeanor suddenly changed, returning to her usual cold and aloof appearance.

At this moment, she was like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, noble and untouchable.

Then, she came to Chen Xuan's room, standing tall and proud before Chen Xuan's bed, her beautiful eyes fixed on the man on the bed, and her red lips lightly opened to say:

"Chen Xuan, I quit. Our contract ends here. You'd better find someone else! This is the Spirit Stone I'm compensating you with!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, but it contained an undeniable resolve.

Hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but look puzzled and asked in return, "Oh? You've been doing quite well these past few days! Why are you suddenly quitting?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie's pretty face instantly flushed red. She bit her lip, seemingly finding it difficult to speak. After a moment of hesitation, she stammered, "You... that way... and..."

Before she finished speaking, she shyly lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Chen Xuan's eyes again.

However, Chen Xuan seemed not to notice her embarrassment and laughed heartily:

"Oh... Haha... You're not one of those young girls with their heads full of romance. Women, in the end, aren't they all the same? What's there to be so conflicted about?"

His frivolous words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into Hua Mengjie's heart.

She suddenly looked up, glaring at Chen Xuan, and said coquettishly, "No! I just quit!" Her tone was firm and left no room for negotiation.

Seeing Hua Mengjie's resolute attitude, Chen Xuan found it difficult to persuade her further and could only nod helplessly, responding:

"Oh... Alright, alright. Since you've already made up your mind, I can only respect your decision." Chen Xuan smiled, his voice soft and gentle, revealing an innate gentlemanly demeanor.

Then, he paused slightly, his gaze falling on Hua Mengjie, and softly said:

"However, since you've come so early this morning, may I trouble you to finish today morning's work before you leave?" After speaking, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and his eyes held a hint of expectation.

Hearing this, Hua Mengjie couldn't help but be slightly startled, but she quickly returned to normal. She hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded gently, indicating her agreement.

She silently walked to the wardrobe, carefully taking out Chen Xuan's clothes, her movements appearing very skilled.

Then, she gently unfolded Chen Xuan's clothes, then squatted down and carefully helped Chen Xuan put them on, and helped Chen Xuan smooth out the wrinkles.

After doing all this, Hua Mengjie turned and walked to the kitchen, starting to prepare breakfast. Soon, a sumptuous breakfast was laid out on the dining table.

She gently served Chen Xuan his breakfast, then quickly cleared the dishes, wiping the dining table clean and spotless.

After all this was done, Chen Xuan took out a green Peach Blossom from his embrace, calmly handed it to Hua Mengjie, and said indifferently, "Mengjie, this is your salary for this week, a green Qi Luck Peach Blossom."

Hua Mengjie reached out, taking the money with slight hesitation, and whispered, "Thank you... Master... Goodbye!"

Before she finished speaking, a subtle hint of sadness suddenly flashed in her eyes. Immediately after, she silently turned and slowly walked towards the door.

Chen Xuan watched her leave, smiled slightly, shrugged, and his eyes held expectation, as if he had his own unique perspective and understanding of what was happening before him.
