“We slept together last night!” Jiang Mian gritted her teeth and blurted out the words.

Lu Bozhou stopped gripping the doorknob and turned around.

His deep eyes seemed to possess a tangible quality that left no one able to hide.

Jiang Mian bit her lip, her eyes lowered, not daring to meet his gaze.

"So what? I have to agree to let you be my son's nanny?"

Lu Bozhou's lips curled into a mocking smile, his voice cold and his gaze indifferent, "Your application requirements are truly... despicable."

Hearing this, Jiang Mian's face paled. Of course, she knew that this was a last resort.

But this man was just too stubborn...

Lu Bozhou turned the doorknob and opened the door.

He then turned to Jiang Mian and said, "Since you say we slept together, you can call the police..."

Lu Bozhou gave her one last cold look, “...or make an offer.”

He walked out the door, and with a click, the door closed.

Jiang Mian sat down slumped down beside the bed.

"Sigh..." Jiang Mian slapped her head a few times in annoyance. "Jiang Mian, Jiang Mian, you've really gone crazy!"

“That’s true…” Jiang Mian murmured to herself, “How could Lu Bozhou be someone who would be kidnapped by such methods…”

In fact, Jiang Mian knew very well what kind of person Lu Bozhou was.

Even if Lin Sisi hadn't succeeded in her scheme last night, even if I hadn't intervened to save the day...

Lin Sisi really succeeded in scheming against him, something really happened between them, and it was really captured and exposed by paparazzi.

It may not necessarily be used to morally blackmail Lu Bozhou.

Back then, the Lu family and the Jiang family put pressure on her together, and she and Lu Bozhou even had physical intimacy under their scheme.

None of these things could make Lu Bozhou compromise immediately; when this man gets stubborn, he's more stubborn than a donkey!

Song Xun was already waiting at the door, holding a paper bag containing clothes. When he saw Lu Bozhou come out, he took out clean clothes and handed them to him.

"Boss, it's my fault for neglecting my duties," Song Xun said apologetically.

Lu Bozhou neither confirmed nor denied this, "Have you checked?"

"I've investigated. It's Lin Sisi's doing. There were at least five media outlets staking out outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of your suite, ready to take pictures."

"The media?" Lu Bozhou raised an eyebrow slightly.

Song Xun immediately chose his words carefully, “Tabloid reporters, that is, paparazzi. According to them, they were all hired by Lin Sisi. Miss Lin probably wants to put pressure on you through public opinion.”

At this point, Song Xun breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Jiang Mian came to our rescue in time."

“She said she slept with me,” Lu Bozhou said casually.

Song Xun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; if he had anything in his mouth at that moment, he would have definitely spat it out.

He stared at Lu Bozhou in disbelief.

The BOSS's expression remained calm and composed, and he even added a time note: "Last night."

Song Xun opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

After a long pause, he finally asked, "Really?"

Lu Bozhou glanced at him sideways.

With just one glance, Song Xun knew that it definitely wasn't there.

Indeed, no, Lu Bozhou didn't completely black out last night.

But I almost lost control last night.

This woman, whose origins and intentions are unclear, does indeed resemble Jiang Mian too much.

In recent years, the Lu family has actually schemed against Lu Bozhou quite a bit.

He has excellent self-control, and these despicable schemes and plots cannot subdue him.

Even if Lin Sisi had succeeded in sneaking into his room last night, it would probably have been in vain.

But unexpectedly, in front of Jiang Mian, whose intentions were unclear, he almost lost control for the first time.

"Then why did she say that..." Song Xun had just asked the question when he suddenly realized, "Could it be because of that nanny job interview...?"

Lu Bozhou remained noncommittal, only calmly instructing Song Xun, "The person is still in the room, go and handle it."

After saying that, he walked forward, but stopped after taking two steps.

Her strong eyebrows furrowed, and she said to Song Xun, "Arrange a job for her, so she won't keep bothering Lu Chaochi all the time."

I could tell when I visited Yalai Garden last time that her financial situation was quite poor; you could even describe it as struggling to make ends meet.

Perhaps it was because of their economic situation that they were so persistent in arguing about Lu Chaochi's nanny application.

For some reason, Lu Bozhou seemed unable to fully sympathize with this woman.

Perhaps it was because of her eyes, and the way she looked at Lu Chaochi.

……

When the door lock beeped as it opened, Jiang Mian thought it was Lu Bozhou returning.

To everyone's surprise, Song Xun walked in.

"Miss Jiang," Song Xun said with a hint of helplessness.

"Assistant Song?" Jiang Mian looked at him. "Did Lu Bo... did President Lu send you?"

Song Xun nodded.

"Is it about my job application?" Jiang Mian actually knew there was little chance of success; Lu Bozhou had already made it very clear.

But I couldn't help asking.

"Miss Jiang, let me arrange another job for you."

Song Xun sighed softly, "You... just stop dwelling on the young master's nanny issue."

The light in those eyes dimmed as if a star had been extinguished.

“No need…” Jiang Mian shook her head.

If she can't be close to her son, it makes no difference to her what kind of work she does.

She stood up to leave.

Song Xun noticed that two buttons on her clothes were broken, and she was fastening them with safety pins.

Song Xun handed her the paper bag. "These are clean clothes. Change into them. Anyway, if you need any help, you can call me."

Jiang Mian took the clothes and went to the bathroom to change, only to realize... that they seemed to be Lu Bozhou's clothes.

It must have been Song Xun who brought the extra.

The clothes still carried that familiar scent of ebony and sandalwood.

When she came out of the room after changing her clothes, Song Xun was no longer there.

Jiang Mian had no reason to linger any longer, so she packed her clothes and left the room.

As she went downstairs, she was completely unaware that a camera was pointed at her from the corner and filming her rapidly!

Jiang Mian went to a breakfast shop and borrowed the owner's charger to charge her phone.

They were so busy that they didn't have time to think about anything else. They only learned from the conversations of a few customers who were eating that today's trending topic seemed to be related to Lin Sisi.

After finishing her work, Jiang Mian turned on her phone.

As soon as I turned on my phone, it started vibrating, and a lot of messages popped up.

There were many missed call notifications via text message, as well as several other notifications and WeChat messages from Jiang Feng.

Jiang Mian naturally opened the WeChat message sent by Jiang Feng first.

After reading the message, Jiang Mian's expression changed.

Sis, where did you go? He came to the school looking for me. He said he couldn't find you and asked if I'd seen you. From what he said, it seems he already knows where your new home is! If you're still out there, don't go back yet, stay away for a while! Be careful!

Jiang Mian frowned deeply. The "he" Jiang Feng mentioned in his message could not be anyone else.

It could only be their father—Jiang Da!
