Chapter 95 I'll settle your salary

"Dad, I really have to thank you!"

Jiang Chenfeng rolled his eyes, but he couldn't bring himself to reject his father's kindness.

However, having a top-tier assassin by his side made him feel uneasy all over; it was very uncomfortable!

"What kind of attitude is that, kid? If I didn't have things to do at the company, I'd definitely give you a thrashing today."

As Jiang Hongye spoke, he reached for his belt.

Before he could pull it out, Jiang Chenfeng, sweating profusely, pressed it back and said awkwardly, "Dad! I get it. Don't worry, I won't do anything to her."

"Humph!"

Jiang Hongye let out a snort and turned to leave.

Watching his father's retreating figure, Jiang Chenfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He turned back into the house and went to his room on the second floor.

Just as he stepped into the room, he saw that Ling Wei had already changed into a maid outfit and was tidying up.

[Shouldn't this woman be dealing with my brother? Why did she come to me instead?]

[No way, no way! I absolutely cannot keep a time bomb by my side. I have to find a way to make her leave on her own!]

Simply kicking her out wouldn't work; he wouldn't be able to explain it to his father.

Only if Ling Wei left of her own accord would he avoid a scolding from his father.

Jiang Chenfeng sized up Ling Wei's attire, and in his heart, he was actually quite satisfied with her look.

[I didn't expect this maid outfit to fit so well! It's just a bit too conservative; it should be a bit more revealing.]

[Why are you lying down? Are you cleaning under the bed too? You're really working hard just to stay by my side!]

[Unfortunately, there's no way I'm keeping you around, or I'll never have a peaceful day again.]

[Hmm? Don't keep bending over like that, Beauty Snake, your leggings are showing... Wait, leggings? How boring!]

Ling Wei, who was cleaning under the bed, really wanted to slap him after hearing Jiang Chenfeng's inner thoughts!

If it weren't for completing the mission assigned by the Dragon King, she wouldn't want to sacrifice this much!

But she was a Professional Assassin, after all, and was proficient in all aspects of her work.

She quickly finished cleaning the entire room and said, "Young Master Jiang, take a look. Are you satisfied?"

[Holy crap! You actually know how to clean a room?]

[If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a professional Cleaner!]

Seeing the room looking brand new, Jiang Chenfeng marveled inwardly.

It seemed that the assassins under Lin Tian were indeed no ordinary people.

This is bad!

Judging solely by the level of her cleaning, there was truly nothing to complain about.

To make her back off, he needed to try a different angle!

Jiang Chenfeng sat down in a chair and nodded. "Hmm! The cleaning is decent! However, as I said before, if you want to work for me, there are many requirements and rules!"

"How about this, give me a massage and let me see what you can do!"

"...Young Master Jiang, this doesn't seem to fall under the scope of cleaning, does it?" Ling Wei's cheek twitched as she spoke.

"Indeed it's not! But you aren't just a Cleaner; you're a Servant of our household. A Servant should relieve their master's worries and difficulties. Massaging is a normal part of the job. If you can't handle it, you can leave right now, and I'll still pay you for today." Jiang Chenfeng said as if it were only natural.

Ling Wei suppressed the urge to give him a beating and forced a smile. "Then I wonder how Young Master Jiang wants me to massage you? I know some techniques, and I'm sure I can satisfy you."

"Then just massage my head; I've had quite a headache these past few days," Jiang Chenfeng gestured.

Ling Wei walked behind Jiang Chenfeng, mimed strangling him, then placed her hands on his temples and asked, "Young Master Jiang, is this pressure alright?"

"It's okay!"

Jiang Chenfeng leaned back in the chair, enjoying Ling Wei's service.

[I'm afraid the only other person in this world who gets this kind of treatment is the Dragon King, right?]

Ling Wei massaged him while gritting her teeth, thinking to herself, "The Dragon King doesn't get this treatment either! Although we are members of the Dragon Gate, we are definitely not the Dragon King's slaves. Even if he has the authority to command us, he can't just make us do whatever he wants!"

"Use a bit more strength!" Jiang Chenfeng said with a look of pure enjoyment, feeling very comfortable.

Ling Wei couldn't help but increase the pressure, asking with a fake smile, "Young Master Jiang, is this strength enough?"

"Mm, comfortable!"

[This is heavenly enjoyment!]

[Such a perfect woman is actually Lin Tian's personal plaything. What a shame!]

[Compared to Lin Tian's daily life, what kind of miserable existence was I living before?]

[Why would such a perfect girl be a Professional Assassin? If she just stayed by my side and we lived a shameless life together every day, wouldn't that be as happy as a god?]

[But then again, this woman is quite pitiful! She's never had true freedom, and even if she becomes Lin Tian's woman in the future, she won't receive any care from him!]

[In the end, in Lin Tian's eyes, she is just a subordinate. They aren't on equal footing, so naturally, she won't get any affection from him!]

Ling Wei, who was giving the massage, was slightly stunned upon hearing Jiang Chenfeng's thoughts.

For some reason.

She felt a bit moved in her heart.

From childhood until now, no one else had ever considered things from her perspective!

Or rather, no one would think for her.

Her life had always been incredibly lonely.

After all, she was a Professional Assassin who lived in the shadows.

Who would develop feelings for a Professional Assassin?

Anyone who heard about her identity would want nothing more than to stay far away!

She used to think that the Dragon King, Lin Tian, was very good to her, often showing concern for her well-being.

But after hearing Lin Tian's inner thoughts, she realized it was all just a facade.

Lin Tian didn't care about her at all; he was just using her!

Ling Wei was very curious about Jiang Chenfeng and really wanted to know what kind of person he actually was.

Why did this man know so many things?

"Young Master Jiang, I wonder if I can stay to serve you?" Ling Wei asked.

Jiang Chenfeng slowly opened his eyes, turned to look at Ling Wei, and said hesitantly, "Alright! You can start working then! If there's a day you can't adapt, you can tell me anytime, and I'll settle your salary!"

Whether it was cleaning or massaging, Jiang Chenfeng couldn't find any faults.

If he forcibly kicked her out, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his father.

It was better to keep her around; as long as he acted cautiously, there shouldn't be any problems.

[I remember, this woman's parents and younger brother were all killed because of Lin Tian, right?]

[And yet, she was trained to be an assassin to continue risking her life for her enemy. She really is pitiful!]
