Seeing her obvious relief, Yue Linze found it amusing. He reached out and pinched her cheek gently: “Go get some sleep. You haven’t rested all day.”
“…Okay.” Tao Yu blushed and nodded, exchanging a few more words before leaving. Back in her room, she stared blankly for a long time before suddenly realizing she was now in a relationship with Yue Linze.
She was in a relationship with the real Yue Linze.
This realization made her face heat up again. She rolled on the bed, hugged her blanket, and closed her eyes. Random thoughts flashed through her mind but were quickly suppressed by overwhelming fatigue. She turned over and fell deeply asleep.
Yue Linze downstairs couldn’t sleep, and after tossing and turning for a long time, he called over several important assistants from home, including the housekeeper, and held a meeting that lasted over an hour. By the end, everyone was clear that there would be a new mistress in the house.
The housekeeper still felt somewhat uncomfortable, but under Yue Linze’s gaze, he respectfully agreed, though what he truly thought remained known only to himself.
“The only studio that can treat my illness is in the United States,” Yue Linze seemed to sense the housekeeper’s thoughts and slowly spoke after sending the others away.
The housekeeper paused, lowering his eyes: “Sir is correct.”
“The doctor hasn’t come because his schedule is already set and he can’t make changes,” Yue Linze continued.
The housekeeper glanced at him, vaguely understanding what he wanted to say, and his lips gradually tightened. Yue Linze curved his lips and continued: “Tao Yu’s arrival here was permitted. If she hadn’t come, I might still be tormented by my split personality.”
“…You don’t need to say more. I know what to do. I was foolish before, not understanding this point.” The housekeeper bowed deeply to Yue Linze, his eyes now completely sincere.
Yue Linze didn’t look at him, casually flipping through the documents on the table, and after a while, said flatly: “You were left to me by my mother, and I treat you like a half-elder, but that doesn’t mean Tao Yu needs to do the same. Don’t show any disrespect again, or I’ll have to send you to retirement.”
