Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 313

Chapter 313 He Had Ulterior Intentions for Her
Du Xiaoxian had been in a good mood recently, because she felt that the days were getting more and more hopeful.

Last week, she was officially transferred to the president’s secretariat to be a clerk. She only did some trivial things like collecting documents, checking data, copying, faxing, and also cleaning Lu Haochen’s office.

However, she was still extremely excited. This was the first time she had put on a suit and had her own desk and computer. There was also a gilded nameplate on the desk. On it was written: Clerk Du Xiaoxian.

This was something she had never dared to think about before. Now, it had become a reality. What made her even happier was that her salary also increased. Lu Haochen said that as long as she performed well, she would be further promoted and her salary would continue to increase.

Du Xiaoxian seemed to see a bright path extending from beneath her feet. All her hopes and expectations were going to slowly come true on this path.

Her colleagues were also very helpful to her. Seeing that she did not understand something, they would patiently teach her and help her. Du Xiaoxian felt that she was very lucky to meet so many kind people.

She now worked in nine-to-five schedule, but she came half an hour earlier every day to clean up Lu Haochen’s office. While she was cleaning, Lu Haochen would sit there reading a book. They were already very familiar with each other now, so they often chatted. In this process, Lu Haochen would put down the book and help her do the cleaning. As soon as Du Xiaoxian objected, he would say that he was taking it as exercise.

After work, Du Xiaoxian would pick up Du Niannian home first. She would cook for Niannian and then go to clean up the villa. She went there five days a week. She didn’t work on the weekend.

However, she went to the villa this Sunday afternoon, because she would not be free on Monday night and she wanted to clean it one day ahead of schedule.

In fact, according to the division of seasons, it was already autumn. But Yawan was in summer all year round, and there was no obvious change in the weather. Every day, the sun was shining brightly. When Du Xiaoxian walked from the gate of the community to the villa, her back was already covered with a layer of sticky sweat. She stood at the door and shook the cloth on her back with her hand. Then she entered the password to open the door.

The air in the room was very cold without turning on the air-conditioner. Not long after Du Xiaoxian entered the room, the sweat on her back disappeared. She went to the bathroom to wash her face. The cool water was splashed on her face and it was very comfortable. She didn’t wipe her face and directly walked out with a face full of water. She pushed open the glass door that led to the small garden behind and stood in the wind. Outside the wall, there were two tall Phoenix Trees. The treetops stretched out like umbrellas, blocking the sunlight. It was cool and fresh.

When the wind blew the water dry on her face, Du Xiaoxian went to the storage room and took out the cleaning tools. Just as she was about to start working, the door creaked open and a person walked in. When he saw her in the living room, he was shocked. “Why are you here?”

Du Xiaoxian was also very surprised. She knew the person. It was Lu Haochen’s driver, Huang Qihua. Everyone called him Hua Zai.

Seeing her in a daze, Hua Zai asked again, “What are you doing in President Lu’s house? How did you get in?”

“This is not President Lu’s home,” Du Xiaoxian corrected him. “This is his cousin’s home.”

“President Lu is the only son of his father and his father is the only son of his grandfather. His grandfather also did not have a brother. Where did he get a cousin?” Hua Zai looked at her doubtfully. “This is definitely President Lu’s house. I have been with him for three years. How can I be wrong?”

Du Xiaoxian was dumbfounded. “But this is indeed his cousin’s home! I even signed a contract.”

Only then did Hua Zai notice that she was holding a cleaning tool in her hand. He immediately understood. “So you are helping President Lu clean the house!”

Du Xiaoxian thought for a while and still felt that something was wrong. “Doesn’t Mr. Lu live in Guangfu Community?”

“How is that possible!” Hua Zai snorted, “Does President Lu look like someone who lives in Guangfu Community? The housing price there is less than 10,000 yuan per square meter. But this villa is a place where the housing is as pricy as gold. When he bought it, it was more than 70,000 yuan per square meter. Now it is estimated to be more than 100,000 yuan!”

Du Xiaoxian frowned and said, “But Mr. Lu said that this is his cousin’s house, and I saw him go to Guangfu Community every day. He often sent me home on the way!”

When Hua Zai said these words, he did not think too much about them. However, when Du Xiaoxian said this, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake. Recently, there were many rumors in the company about Lu Haochen and Du Xiaoxian. It was said that Lu Haochen had taken a fancy to Du Xiaoxian, so he promoted her and gave her a raise. Hua Zai did not believe it before. After all, there was too much of a difference in their statuses. Moreover, Du Xiaoxian was not a stunning beauty. Lu Haochen had always been strict with himself and was not a playboy who liked to seduce women. But now, Du Xiaoxian appeared here, which greatly increased the credibility of those rumors.

Hua Zai suddenly thought, could it be that he accidentally ruined his boss’s big plan?

When he thought of Lu Haochen’s dark face, he was terrified and tried to make up. “This house used to be President Lu’s. Maybe his cousin is living here now?”

“Didn’t you say that Mr. Lu doesn’t have a cousin?”

“Maybe I was wrong,” Hua Zai said, scratching the back of his head. “He seems to have a cousin.”

Du Xiaoxian asked, “Then what are you doing here?”

“President Lu asked me to come and get something.”

“Get what?”

“Mr. Lu went to play golf and forgot to take the gloves, so he asked me to come back and get them.”

“Do you know where they are?”

“I know, I know.” Hua Zai said, “I am very familiar with this place. I know where the things are placed,”

Du Xiaoxian nodded and said, “Then you can go up and get them!”

Du Xiaoxian was always saying in a soft and gentle voice, but Hua Zai broke out in cold sweat. He wanted to get away as soon as possible. Hearing her words, he quickly ran upstairs.

Du Xiaoxian followed him and saw that Hua Zai went straight into the bedroom and took out a pair of golf gloves from the drawer. She stood at the door. “Why is there not a single photo in this room?”

“There was one before,” Hua Zai subconsciously answered and pointed at a white wall. “President Lu doesn’t like to take pictures, but there used to be a big picture here.” He paused for a moment and added deliberately, “Probably his cousin removed it after he moved in!”

Du Xiaoxian did not say anything and followed Hua Zai downstairs. On the stairs, she asked again, “Is Mr. Lu’s girlfriend a designer?”

“She was.”

“What about now?”

“She’s long gone! She died in a car accident three years ago.”

Du Xiaoxian stopped and looked at him in surprise. “You said that Mr. Lu’s girlfriend died three years ago?”

“Yes,” In order to make up for his slip of the tongue, Hua Zai tried his best to speak up for his boss. “Mr. Lu is a very good man. His girlfriend has been dead for three years, and he is still alone. It is hard to find a handsome and rich man like him, who is not fickle in love!”

As he spoke, he secretly looked at Du Xiaoxian’s expression. However, Du Xiaoxian had a poker face, and no emotions could be seen.

Hua Zai felt a little uneasy and did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly walked out of the door, but Du Xiaoxian chased him to the door and stopped him. “Don’t tell Mr. Lu that I am here.”

This is exactly what Hua Zai had planned to do. He did not think too much about it. “Okay, I won’t tell him.”

Du Xiaoxian watched him drive away before closing the door. Then she turned around and sat down in the living room.

Although Hua Zai tried every means to explain, she could still tell that the house belonged to Lu Haochen. But why did he lie to her? He could have directly asked her to clean the house. So why did he lie to her?

His girlfriend had passed away, but he still used her as an excuse to send Du Xiaoxian medicine!

The uneasiness in Du Xiaoxian’s heart gradually increased. Du Huayue was right. It turned out that Lu Haochen had ulterior intentions for her.

As she sat here and thought carefully, many small details that she had ignored before flashed in her eyes one by one: His gaze was hot and spicy when he looked at her; When she was injured, he was furious; When she was eating, he gave his dishes to her; He bought a hundred of her paintings in one go; He sent her home every night…

And she thought that they were really just friends!

She trusted him so much and treated him as a friend, but he kept lying to her.

She was transferred into the secretariat not because of her good work, but because he liked her. Everyone knew what was going on, and only she was smug like a fool!

The more Du Xiaoxian thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted to find him and ask him about it right now. However, she had a gentle personality and she endured it. She picked up the vacuum cleaner and began to clean up.

When she got home, she found out the contract and asked Du Huayue to identify the signature in the end.

Du Huayue looked at the signature and was shocked. “Why is it President Lu’s name?”

There was nothing more to say. The truth was right in front of her and she had to believe it.

The next morning, while there were only her and Lu Haochen in the office, she placed the contract in front of Lu Haochen and pointed at the signature. “This is your name, right?”

Lu Haochen looked at her in shock and instinctively wanted to deny, “Why is this my name? This is my cousin…”

“You are still lying! I have already let others see it. This is your signature. Yes, although I am not smart and I have no knowledge, I don’t like people deceiving me. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation!”

Lu Haochen blinked his eyes in shock. The usually weak Du Xiaoxian made a face, which really made him nervous.

“Alright! Since you have discovered it, then I will tell the truth.” He took a deep breath and looked eagerly at her. “Du Xiaoxian, I like you.”

Although Du Xiaoxian had guessed this result, she still felt a little shocked. She had never provoked anyone, but why do these rich men like to tangle with her? She absolutely could not let history be repeated, so she decisively refused, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. Thank you for your appreciation, but I can’t promise you anything.”

“I know,” Lu Haochen said, “I know you won’t accept it for the time being, so I am not in a hurry to confess to you. But please believe me, I really like you. I hope you can give me a chance. You will find out that I am a man who can be trusted and can be entrusted for life!”

“Sorry, I can’t accept it, so,” Unexpectedly, she took out an envelope from her pocket and placed it in front of him. “This is my resignation letter, and I won’t do the cleaning of the villa anymore. I broke the contract, so you don’t have to pay me.”

Lu Haochen suddenly became angry. Was he a leper? Just because he said he liked her, she was going to hide far away immediately?

“I won’t approve your resignation. As for this,” He pointed at the contract and said, “Look clearly at the seventh sub-clause of the second clause. If you break the contract, you will have to compensate me ten times the salary of two years, which is 840 thousand yuan. As long as you bring the money, this contract can immediately be terminated!”

Du Xiaoxian was shocked and quickly grabbed the contract to take a closer look. Sure enough, it was clearly written on it.

She was exasperated. “You did it on purpose! You set a trap for me!”

Lu Haochen did not deny it. “Yes, I did it on purpose. But when you signed it, I reminded you to read it carefully. It was you who did not care about it. Now you blame me!”

Du Xiaoxian was no match for Lu Haochen when it came to scheming, and Lu Haochen was far better at arguments than her.

Du Xiaoxian stomped her feet in anger and threw a tantrum, which was rarely seen. “Then I won’t do anything!”

“It’s better if you don’t do anything!” Lu Haochen smiled like a rogue. “I can’t bear to let you do it!”

He was so glib-tongued. He simply…Du Xiaoxian suddenly realized that she had misjudged Lu Haochen. Now, this stubborn and rascal man was his true color!
