Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Signing the Contract
Du Xiaoxian was not feeling well, so Lu Haochen could not bear to let her do the cleaning. When she was better, he let her go home early. After thinking about it, he was still worried. He also asked Du Huayue to get off work early so that the latter could go back to take care of Du Xiaoxian.

Du Huayue was looking forward to it. When he returned home, he saw Du Xiaoxian sitting in the living room trimming vegetables. He said, “You don’t feel well. Go into your room and lie down. I’ll do these things.”

Du Xiaoxian smiled and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore. I wanted to prepare the ingredients and cook earlier so that we could have dinner right after you come back. I didn’t expect you to be back so soon.” She looked up at the clock on the wall. “Hey, work is not over yet. Why are you back?”

“President Lu asked me to come back.” Du Huayue took a chair and sat down to trim vegetables with her. “Don’t you understand what he meant? He was worried about you being alone at home, so he asked me to come back and take care of you.”

Du Xiaoxian said, “It is so nice of Mr. Lu.”

“Du Xiaoxian, are you a blockhead?” Du Huayue widened his eyes. “He has already made it so obvious. Can’t you tell? Everyone in the company is talking about it. They say that President Lu often eats with you and that he gives you his food. What is the relationship between you two?”

“Relationship? The relationship between the boss and the employee!” Du Xiaoxian did not agree. “Others may feel confused, but you should know.”

“I know you have no feelings for him, but his attitude towards you is very obvious.” Du Huayue said, “I’ve reminded you before. You didn’t take it seriously. What are you going to do now?”

“No, Mr. Lu is just kind-hearted. He didn’t do anything to me. You are making a fuss.”

Du Huayue was silent for a moment, and then said, “Xiaoxian, don’t forget the lesson you’ve learned.”

Du Xiaoxian’s expression changed. She looked down at the vegetables on the ground and said softly, “Brother Ah Yue, don’t worry. That kind of thing will never happen again.”

“Good,” Du Huayue said, “As long as you know what you’re doing, it’s fine. After all, you’re different from the past. You have Niannian now.”

Du Xiaoxian nodded and got up to bring the vegetables to the kitchen. It wasn’t that she hadn’t been wary of Lu Haochen, because the way he looked at her was sometimes very strange and it made her nervous. But as they got along, other than his strange gazes, Lu Haochen didn’t do anything unusual to her, nor did he hint at anything. They got along like friends. She had also made other male friends, such as Cheng Mingchi. The mutual concern between friends should be very normal!

Du Huayue cleaned up the trash on the ground and walked into the kitchen. “I’ll do it. You go rest. I’ll call you when the meal is ready.”

“Then let’s do it together. After dinner, I still have a job to do.”

Du Huayue said, “You’re not feeling well today, so don’t go. Just call and ask for leave.”

“As you know, I only feel pain for a while every time. I will be fine after that period of time.” Du Xiaoxian quickly washed the pot and prepared to cook.

Du Huayue shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to let her cook.

Du Xiaoxian recalled something else and said, “Brother Ah Yue, I’ll pick up Niannian at the end of the month.”

“I’ll go,” Du Huayue hesitated for a moment and said, “Xiaoxian, there is something I haven’t told you. Your father is back.”

“Ah? Then Niannian…” Du Xiaoxian was worried.

“Niannian is fine. Everyone knows that she is my child and I also told her this. There should be no problem. But I am afraid that if you go back…”

“Is he going to stay there and not leave?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t talk to him either,” Du Huayue said, “When I called home last week, he was still there.”

Du Xiaoxian used the spatula to flip the ingredients a few times. “Then it’s better to go and bring Niannian back early. I really don’t feel at ease.”

“With my mother there, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that she can’t handle your father?” Du Huayue comforted her, “But it’s a good idea to go and bring Niannian back early. When she is not here at home, the house is cold and cheerless. Not only do I miss her, but even Cuicui misses her. Yesterday, Cuicui also talked about her!”

Only then did a smile appear on Du Xiaoxian’s face. She said, “Then you two should get married early and give birth to one. Then the house will be lively.”

Du Huayue scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly.

After dinner, Du Xiaoxian ignored Du Huayue’s objection and went to the villa for cleaning.

When she opened the door with the password, Lu Haochen bounced up from the sofa and looked at her in shock. “Why are you here?”

Du Xiaoxian said, “I’m here to do my job. Have you eaten?”

“Not yet,” Lu Haochen frowned. “You are not feeling well. You don’t have to do it today. Go back and rest.”

“It’s nothing.” Du Xiaoxian changed her shoes and walked in. “You and Brother Ah Yue are the same. You both mistake me as a fragile girl.”

“No, you,” Lu Haochen wanted to ask her to go back, but she was already in front of him, so he was a little reluctant.

“Don’t say no. I will cook for you.” Du Xiaoxian said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Lu Haochen quickly went up to stop her. “No need. I’ll just make a bowl of noodles for myself. You’ve just arrived. Sit down and rest for a while.”

Du Xiaoxian suddenly remembered something and asked, “You know that there is no food here today. Why are you still here?”

“I said I would come over every day to take a look.” Lu Haochen said confidently.

Du Xiaoxian muttered, “I don’t know what’s there to see. Is there a treasure in the house?”

“You are right,” Lu Haochen laughed. “There really is a treasure in this house, so I have to watch closely.”

“Then you cook noodles. I’m going upstairs to work.”

“Wait,” Lu Haochen stopped her again. “Don’t do it today. Sit there and watch TV.”

“I’m not here to watch TV,” Du Xiaoxian wanted to walk upstairs. Lu Haochen took two steps up and pulled her down. “What’s wrong with you? I told you to rest, so you rest. Why do you tire yourself?”

“Since you won’t let me work,” Du Xiaoxian shook off his hand. “Then I’ll go home.”

“Don’t,” Lu Haochen blocked in front of her. “Don’t be in such a hurry. Well, I got the contract. Since you’re here, sign it.”

“Is the owner here?”

“Not yet, he mailed it back,” Lu Haochen spoke without thinking, “Just wait, it’s upstairs. I’ll go get it.” He took a few steps up the stairs, and then turned to look at her. “Why don’t you make a bowl of noodles for me? I’m really a little hungry.”

Du Xiaoxian didn’t think too much about it and directly said, “Alright.”

Seeing her enter the kitchen, Lu Haochen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went upstairs. No matter what, he just did not want her to go!

He really spent a bit of effort on that so-called contract. He had already downloaded it online long ago. Everything else was just a cover. The entire contract only had two core conditions, which he had come up with after thinking about it for a long time.

The first condition was that the contract period was two years. As the second party, Du Xiaoxian could not cancel the contract in advance. Otherwise, she would have to compensate ten times the total salary of two years. According to the amount of 3,500 yuan a month, ten times the total amount would be 840,000 yuan. He believed that Du Xiaoxian could not afford to pay so much money no matter what. Therefore, within two years, Du Xiaoxian would not leave him. He believed that during such a long time, with his ability, he would definitely be able to charm Du Xiaoxian.

The second condition was: As the first party, the owner could summon the second party, Du Xiaoxian, to come to clean up at any time and she could not refuse. Otherwise, the salary for that month would be deducted. He could see that Du Xiaoxian was very thrifty. She probably wouldn’t be willing to give up a month of salary. So whenever he wanted to see her, she would have to come to him after he called.

With these two conditions, he basically achieved his goal. Lu Haochen had planned to think for a few more days, afraid that he might miss something, but now in order to keep Du Xiaoxian here today, he could not care so much.

He turned on the computer, took out the contract, and checked it carefully from beginning to end. Then he typed it out. In order to pretend that it was mailed here, he deliberately folded the contract into an envelope. When he finished these and went downstairs, Du Xiaoxian had already put the noodles on the table and called him, “Hurry up and eat. The noodles are turning soggy.”

Lu Haochen walked over and handed her the contract. “Take a look.”

Du Xiaoxian took it, sat by the dining table, and started to read it. There were so many clauses and words. Looking closely at each and every one of them was a little dull. She read a few of them and put down the contract. She rubbed her eyes and said, “Alright, I’ll sign it.”

Lu Haochen ate a mouthful of noodles and muttered, “You finish reading it?”

Du Xiaoxian smiled and said, “I’ve signed this kind of contract before. It’s almost the same. What’s there to read carefully?”

“Aren’t you afraid that I will sell you?”

“You are a good person, Mr. Lu. Why would you sell me?”

Lu Haochen chuckled. He avoided her big, pure eyes and lowered his head to eat the noodles. Compared with the innocent Du Xiaoxian, he was too canny. But he liked her too much. In order to finally get the beauty back home, it was understandable for him to play some tricks.

The first party had already signed his name on the last page of the contract. Du Xiaoxian looked at it carefully and said, “Eh, the owner of the house is also surnamed Lu. He has the same surname as you. Are you relatives?”

“Yes, we are relatives. He is my cousin.”

“No wonder you pay so much attention to this matter. He’s your cousin!” Du Xiaoxian looked up at him. “Do you have a pen? Can I use it?”

Lu Haochen asked, “You really don’t want to read it again? What if there are some clauses that you can’t accept?”

“No need,” Du Xiaoxian flipped through the entire contract. “Actually, I don’t understand contracts. Anyway, you won’t get me into a fix, so I’ll just sign it.”

Lu Haochen put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a tissue. “Alright, I’ll go find a pen for you.”

He went upstairs, stood on the balcony, and smoked a cigarette. Then he took a pen downstairs and Du Xiaoxian signed her name. He said, “Alright, two copies of the contract, one for each of the two parties. This one is for you. When you have time, read it carefully. My cousin is a very picky person. If you ignore any special clauses, you will make mistakes.”

Du Xiaoxian nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll take a look when I have time. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

“Wait a minute,” Lu Haochen stopped her and handed her the paper bag on the coffee table. “Take this.”

Du Xiaoxian asked, “What is it?”

Lu Haochen smiled a little embarrassedly. He scratched his eyebrows and said. “It will be useful for your old illness. Follow the instructions and eat it.”

Hearing Lu Haochen mention her old illness, Du Xiaoxian immediately blushed. “Mr. Lu, why are you…”

“Don’t think too much,” Lu Haochen quickly explained, “It was my girlfriend who heard me talk about you today and asked me to give it to you. She said that this will help alleviate menstrual cramps.”

“Then, many thanks to your girlfriend. I’m leaving.” Lu Haochen mentioned the words “menstrual cramps”, which made Du Xiaoxian more embarrassed. She picked up the bag and ran out in panic.

“Wait, I’ll give you a ride!” Lu Haochen was also a little embarrassed. This was the first time in his life that he had bought this medicine for a woman. When he explained it to the shop assistant, he also felt it very awkward.
