Chapter 93 - "First Class Maid"

In the room, the eyes of all twelve women dressed in red suddenly shot wide open in astonishment.

They never imagined that this woman would reject their master's offer to be head maid!

It was virtually impossible for a woman to become Nangong Ba's maid.

They all had to go through a rigorous selection process to become one.

What's more, they only ended up as ordinary maids with no authority to order anyone around!

Nangong Ba had a cute expression on his face as though he was asking for permission. Then, he flashed a perfect smile. "I won't let you. Also, I've captured all your men and that little girl. If you don't agree, I'll kill them all. You already have no leverage to fight me on this. You should know your place!"

Liu Rushuang was so mad, she gritted her teeth, then sat up and glared right at Nangong Ba.

Nangong Ba saw Liu Rushuang grind her teeth angrily, then calmly yet threateningly said, "I'll give you fifteen minutes to reconsider. If you don't, then I'll go kill your men, then I'll kill you."

Liu Rushuang clenched her fists furiously and gritted her teeth.

Just as she suspected... Nangong Ba was an enemy!

Why did she always meet enemies whenever she went outside?

It looked as though all she could do was negotiate with him for now, then figure out how to escape later. "I'll do it. Now, can you untie me?" She said in a cold tone.

Nangong Ba looked at Liu Rushuang with a cheerful grin and ordered, "Go untie the gold silk from her legs"

"Yes." A maid immediately walked over to Nangong Ba, then crouched down to untie the gold silk around Liu Rushuang's legs.

Liu Rushuang shot a glance at Nangong Ba, then got out of bed. "If there's nothing else, you may leave now," she directed at Nangong Ba.

Nangong Ba's face instantly twitched. Is this the way a maid treats a master? She actually tried to kick him out! It looks like he has to slowly teach her how to be a good maid.

Just then, he turned towards the maids and ordered, "Take her away to get dressed."

"Yes, milord," replied two women, before they walked up to Liu Rushuang. "Miss, please follow us."

Liu Rushuang glanced at Nangong Ba's determined look in his face and grunted. She must find a way to escape!

Shortly after, the maids finished combing Liu Rushuang's hair to look identical to theirs; two buns on the left with two silver beaded flowers pinned to them and half her hair flowed down her back to her bottom like a waterfall. She also had two locks of hair fall from beside her ears, down her chest and to her waist. Her bangs were mostly swept to the right and it covered half her face. The shine upon her forehead seemed to only add to her charm.

Nangong Ba was stunned for a second.

Nangong Ba gulped. What should he do? He wanted to eat her up, but woman used to always crawl into his bed, and he certainly won't make the first move to carry her to the bed... He thought about it for a moment and resisted his urges. He was going to think of a way to make this woman come to his bed.

So he walked up to Liu Rushuang and flashed his most handsome smile. "Are you tired?" He asked with an affectionate voice.

Liu Rushuang was stunned. Was this the same insufferably arrogant person as before? To her surprise, he's able to actually sound so soft-spoken?!

"No," she replied in a chilling voice.

The incredibly evil and bewitching expression on Nangong Ba's face tensed up. When did he lose his charm? Women would normally climb into the bed or kiss him on the lips by now.

He glared at Liu Rushuang with some degree of confusion. Was this woman alright in the head?

Couldn't she tell that he wanted her to get in bed?

Liu Rushuang coldly glared at Nangong Ba, then turned and walked around him to sit at the table.

Chapter 94 - "Soft-spoken And Submissive"

Nangong Ba thought about it for a moment, before he turned to Liu Rushuang. "Baby, after we get something to eat, I'll take you out. I'll buy you anything you want," he said with an affectionate voice.

Liu Rushuang shot a glance at Nangong Ba. "Do I have the power to decline?" She asked flatly.

Nangong Ba was stunned for a second, but then remembered how Liu Rushuang was no ordinary woman, so he accepted her response.

"You can't decline. I'll take you out and who knows? There might be something you want to buy, Baby," he said in a gentle, loving voice.

Liu Rushuang was speechless.

What's Nangong Ba playing at by pulling a captivating smile like that?

In the room, the maids were dumbstruck as they watched just how Nangong Ba tried to win Liu Rushuang's affection. Where did their arrogant and condescending master go?

They all became a little jealous of Liu Rushuang, and wanted him to treat them like that too.

Liu Rushuang's lips twitched. Why did she feel a chill in her bones?

Nangong Ba stared at Liu Rushuang's perfect side profile, then fawned, "Baby, what would you like to eat? I'll get someone to bring it up."

All of a sudden several women dressed in red lost their footing. Among them, were noble daughters from wealthy families and even ladies of goverment officials. They only went to the Nangong Ba's mansion and became a lowly maid just for a chance to marry him.

But they've become maids for so long now, and yet they've never seen Nangong Ba ever say anything in a soft-spoken and submissive manner.

To their surprise, he's trying to win the affection of a woman he had only just met, and yet he's afraid to upset her?

They questioned their own beauty. Although they weren't flawless like this woman, they were also beautiful maidens.

Couldn't their master see them?

Liu Rushuang wore an emotionless look on her face, Then, without a care, she said, "You can decide."

Nangong Ba grinned slightly with his eyes still transfixed upon Liu Rushuang. With a cold tone of voice, he ordered the maid, "Prepare the usual."

The maid who was responsible for dining looked visibly annoyed but replied, "Yes, milord." Although she was jealous of that woman, she didn't dare ignore her master.

In less than fifteen minutes, several maids gracefully placed dishes of food on the table.

Liu Rushuang's hands were tied in front of her, but she was still able to pick up her chopsticks. Without any intention of being polite, she picked up some food and started eating. When she came across something delicious, she would eat a little more.

Nangong Ba watched as Liu Rushuang moved a little awkwardly and couldn't help but serve some food into her bowl.

Liu Rushuang was stunned for a moment, as she watched Nangong Ba put food into her bowl. Although she really liked eating the food, what did Nangong Ba mean by this?

He made her feel a little uncomfortable. Did he actually want her to eat?

After thinking it over, she picked up the food with her chopsticks and ate it. Afterall, it wasn't poisoned, so she couldn't just waste food like that.

Nangong Ba was given an inch and wanted a mile. He picked up more food and put it into Liu Rushuang's bowl.

Liu Rushuang ate it anyway.

But on the fifth time that Nangong Ba was just about to put food into Liu Rushuang's bowl, she stopped him with her chopsticks. As she looked up at Nangong Ba, she slightly furrowed her brows and said with all honesty, "Sir, I don't like it when you put food in my bowl, so stop just stop it."

Nangong Ba looked her right in the eyes and immediately flashed a charming smile. "Okay. This'll be the last one. Baby, you have to eat well. Look at how skinny you are," he said with an extremely gentle voice.

Liu Rushuang couldn't help but blank out, as she felt her whole body turn numb. After she heard what Nangong Ba said, she put her chopsticks down.

Nangong Ba flashed a beaming smile, then put the food into Liu Rushuang's bowl.
