Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Shi Yan saw Huo Ming frowning and was afraid that he might misunderstand, so she hurried to explain.

"Boss, listen to me. I don't mean anything else. Didn't I say that yesterday? I treat you like my own brother. How could I have any improper thoughts about you?"

"What I mean is, if I really don't want to get married, you can use me as a shield. I can even help you cover up, like we did today."

"After all, I'm still young. I just turned eighteen, not even the legal age to get married. Even if your uncle and aunt want to force you to marry me, I'm not old enough."

"So with me here, I can help the boss delay his marriage for two years, and your uncle and aunt don't have to worry about you in the next two years, and they can help you find blind dates everywhere."

"And the boss may change his mind and want to settle down in two years, and then he can find a suitable person to marry. As for me, I am still a nanny. If your new wife has any concerns, I can help you explain. I just want a stable living environment and a stable job."

"After all, I don't have any attachment to my hometown anymore. Because of my parents, I don't have much yearning for marriage."

"Boss, what do you think of my proposal?"

"I think it's great, but what benefits can you get from it? It seems that I am the one who is taking advantage of it."

"Boss, how can this be called taking advantage? We are mutually beneficial. In fact, I do have a few small requests."

Huo Ming didn't say anything, but looked at Shi Yan meaningfully, then raised his chin, meaning to signal Shi Yan to continue.

"Boss, actually, it's like this. You know I'm very meticulous in my work. I keep my house tidy and spotless every day. It takes a lot of time to do this."

"But my boss arranged study tasks for me for my future and my own good. In order to live up to his trust, I often have to work overtime at night to read books. Recently, my body seems to be unable to cope with it and sometimes I even feel heartache."

"So what I'm thinking is that the boss can do some housework, but he doesn't have to do too much. He can just come back from get off work at night to wash the dishes, wash his own clothes, and help clean the house on weekends. What do you think?"

Shi Yan had been laying the groundwork for a long time, just because she wanted to do less work. The life of a nanny was too depressing, and she needed to take a breath, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back and use her supernatural powers to get rid of Huo Ming, and then they would be destroyed together!

"hehe.."

Huo Ming laughed as soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, with a playful expression:

"You mean to say that I paid for a nanny, provided her with food and lodging, and paid her a salary, but in the end, I, as the boss, still have to work?"

"That's not what I meant. You can cancel your study plan. It's okay to study later when I have time. Besides, it doesn't matter if I don't have any education. Now, being a nanny doesn't require academic qualifications. As long as I do a good job, it's fine. Otherwise, the boss should just ignore what I said."

Huo Ming looked at the person in front of him, who was terrified of having said something wrong, then thought that she would not have to endure her parents' urging to get married for at least two years. Finally, he looked at the girl's small body, which was indeed thinner than her peers.

"Okay, from now on, I'll take care of everything except cooking. As for rest, it's hard to say. Sometimes there will be unexpected things to deal with in the factory, or even a business trip."

"Boss, I know you are a reasonable and kind person. You can do it on weekends when you are free. Forget it when you are busy."

When Shi Yan heard Huo Ming agree, she was already very satisfied. How could she still be picky? She quickly nodded in agreement.

"Well, when did it start?" Huo Ming asked.

Shi Yan looked at the table full of barely touched dishes and smiled shyly:

"Boss, since we have made the agreement today, why don't we start from today? It's evening now, so you can clean up the table. The dishes haven't been touched, so you don't have to wash a lot of dishes. You can just cover the remaining dishes and put them in the refrigerator."

"Boss, today's work is quite easy. You should be able to complete such a simple task, right?"

Huo Ming only sighed, and finally nodded with difficulty.

Shi Yan watched as Huo Ming stood up and started picking up the used dishes and chopsticks. His brows were furrowed, and when he picked up the used dishes and chopsticks, he touched them with his fingertips to look for places that were not stained with oil, as if if his body touched them a little more, something dirty would get into his body.

"Boss, can you do this?"

Shi Yan looked at him like this and asked uncertainly.

What she got was an unfriendly look from Huo Ming. Shi Yan quickly stepped back and said:

"Boss, can I watch your TV? I have never watched TV before."

"Go and see." A very brief answer, revealing some impatience.

After getting the answer she wanted, Shi Yan didn't care about anyone's attitude and happily went to the living room and turned on the TV.

As soon as the TV was turned on, a familiar voice shouted: "Monster, give me your life!"

Shi Yan didn't even need to change the channel. She turned on the TV and watched this year's hot drama, which will also be one of the must-watch dramas in the summer vacations for the next few decades - "Journey to the West".

When Shi Yan was watching TV, the journey of the four masters and apprentices to obtain Buddhist scriptures was not smooth, and Huo Ming, who was working in the kitchen for the first time, was not doing well either.

In fact, Shi Yan was sitting in the living room and heard the crackling sound of plates breaking, but she did not move. Instead, she used her special abilities to investigate and found that Huo Ming was taking advantage of Zhang Lian to clean up the broken plates and spilled leftovers on the ground.

His face was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out of it. Shi Yan didn't want to offend him, so she silently turned up the volume of the TV a little bit, pretending that she heard nothing.

It was not until the second episode of Journey to the West was halfway through that Huo Ming was seen hurriedly walking out of the kitchen and then going straight into the bathroom. Soon the sound of water was heard in the bathroom.
