The next day, Hua Jueming went to wake Su Bai up at 7:00 a.m. sharp. But just as he was about to knock, the door was opened from the inside, and the next second, Su Bai appeared in front of Hua Jueming with dark circles under her eyes.

"Is Madam not used to sleeping here?" Hua Jueming asked in surprise. "Is it because you're not used to the bed or the blankets? Please tell me, Madam, and I'll have someone come and fix it right away."

Su Bai waved his hand weakly, "It has nothing to do with any of this." He had been having trouble sleeping because of Hua Gengchen. He shouldn't have impulsively sent Hua Gengchen a friend request last night!

"Really?" Hua Jueming asked, as if seeking confirmation. As the housekeeper, his duty was to take care of things at home. Now that Hua Gengchen was away, Su Bai was the only person he needed to take care of. Let alone Su Bai showing up with dark circles under his eyes because he hadn't slept well, even if Su Bai just sneezed for no reason, Hua Jueming would suspect that there was something wrong with the air conditioner.

After all, humans are such fragile creatures, completely different from fairies; their lives can be threatened if they are not careful.

Su Bai didn't want to mention the person who had kept him up at night anymore. He slapped his face with both hands. How could he not learn his lesson after stumbling so badly in love? He needed to focus on himself, his career, and his revenge. Nothing else mattered!

"Let's go have breakfast!"

Hua Jueming looked at Su Bai's actions with some surprise, and then caught up with Su Bai's pace.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Su Bai was so shocked by the sight of the breakfast spread out on the table that his mouth could fit a fist.

"Isn't this... a bit too formal?"

He's not an emperor; he doesn't need to prepare a full Manchu-Han Imperial Feast for every meal.

Hua Jueming walked to the dining table, bowed slightly, and calmly explained, "Since I didn't know your preferences, Madam, I prepared extra. Madam can try them all and see what you like to eat."

"Gulp!" Su Bai swallowed awkwardly. Could he say that he usually just had a bowl of plain porridge with pickled vegetables, or a few steamed buns or slices of bread for breakfast? "Next time, you don't need to prepare so much, just prepare something simple!"

“Yes, Madam,” Hua Jueming replied politely.

Su Bai glanced at the food on the table and suddenly remembered Wang Ming. "Butler Hua, I can't finish all this breakfast anyway, why don't we pack some up and send it to Wang Ming?"

Wang Ming!!

These two words are now an alarm in Hua Jueming's mind; as soon as Su Bai mentions them, the alarm will go off.

"Madam, the hospital provides nutritious meals for patients, and what we prepare may not be as good as what the hospital provides."

Su Bai did not heed Hua Jueming's advice. He had heard his grandmother say since he was a child that nothing was as good as what they had at home. The hospital could provide nutritious meals for patients, but the taste was definitely not as good as what they had at home!

"It's alright, we just couldn't finish our breakfast. It's not good to waste food!" Su Bai took a crab roe bun and started eating, his eyes already browsing the table, looking for something suitable to bring to Wang Ming.

Hua Jueming felt a pang of regret, regretting that he had been too thorough in his work, giving that little vixen Wang Ming another opportunity to get close to the madam!

"Why don't we have the driver deliver it? Isn't Madam going to the villa?" Since they couldn't stop Su Bai from delivering things to Wang Ming, Hua Jueming would have to find a way to prevent the two from meeting.

After investigation, Wang Ming was cleared of suspicion as a spy, but Hua Jueming still dared not let his guard down. What if Wang Ming was trying to steal his master's man?

I don't know what's wrong with Wang Ming, this little devil. He's a perfectly normal devil, but he lost his memory and grew up in an orphanage. He still hasn't realized that he's a devil.

No wonder the demonic aura around Wang Ming was so faint when I saw him at the hospital yesterday; otherwise, Hua Jueming wouldn't have suspected that he was a demon who had fallen into darkness and was lurking in the human world.

"Mmm." Su Bai had a bite of bun in his mouth but couldn't swallow it, so he could only nod in agreement. He hadn't originally planned to personally deliver the food to Wang Ming; the Third Hospital wasn't far from here, and going back and forth would take too much time.

Seeing Su Bai nod without hesitation, Hua Jueming felt less threatened; at least his master's backyard hadn't caught fire yet.

After breakfast, Su Bai personally handed the food box to the driver, instructing him to make sure it was delivered to Wang Ming!

Having just lessened his sense of crisis, Hua Jueming immediately tightened his guard again; he couldn't let his guard down! Before his master returned, he had to keep a close eye on that little devil Wang Ming and absolutely couldn't let him steal his master's man!

Hua Jueming clenched his fist inwardly.

Watching the driver drive away, Su Bai turned to Hua Jueming and said, "Have someone move those pots of bok choy up, let's go to the other courtyard."

"Okay, ma'am."

Hua Jueming had someone drive over in a small pickup truck, and personally led a group to carefully carry the flowerpots up, taking numerous precautions to prevent collisions and tipping over. Su Bai was utterly dumbfounded.

The job of a butler is truly versatile!

Su Bai currently only believes that Hua Jueming is simply being dutiful at work and has never considered anything else...

Returning to the villa, the weeds that had grown taller than a person were gone, replaced by bare, empty land. This was advantageous for Su Bai, who planned to farm, as he only needed to till the soil before fertilizing and sowing, indirectly saving him a lot of trouble. But in Hua Jueming's eyes, this was proof of the Su family's 'mistreatment' of Su Bai!

Hua Jueming made another note about the Su family in his notebook.

“Madam, how about I have someone redesign it?” Hua Jueming found the villa, where only the house was finely decorated and the rest of the house was bare, an eyesore. How could the Madam of the Hua family live in such a place?

"No need!" Su Bai refused directly. "This is fine!" Su Shengrong had done Su Bai a great favor. He not only cleaned up the weeds in the villa, but also cleaned up the weeds on the land attached to the villa. This would allow him to find someone to design an irrigation system for the greenhouse.

"Butler Hua, please move the flowerpots down and put them away. I'll go take a look over there." Su Bai pointed to the large open space in the yard and said. Since it was impossible to transplant them in the ground right now, the bok choy would have to stay in the flowerpots for a while longer.

"Okay, ma'am."

The land attached to the villa is about fifteen mu in total. Ten mu are next to the villa and five mu are behind the villa. The whole shape is two rectangles, with the longer one at the bottom and the shorter one at the top, like a hoe.

Su Bai felt that it was preordained that he would be chosen by the system.

After walking around the open space, Su Bai had an idea. He planned to build greenhouses on the ten acres of land, and use half of the five acres behind the house to dig a fish pond and the other half to plant fruit trees.

Although the system only taught him how to grow vegetables, Su Bai wanted to make his manor more diverse, and planting trees and raising fish shouldn't be too difficult.

"Butler Hua, could you please find some people to build greenhouses and irrigation systems for me?" Su Bai didn't know much about this, so entrusting this task to the all-around Hua Jueming was the best course of action.

When does Madam need it?

"The sooner the better!" Su Bai couldn't wait any longer. More than half a month had passed since he took on his first task, and he hadn't even grown a single pound of bok choy. He was genuinely worried about whether he could grow fifty pounds of bok choy within three months.

"Okay!" Hua Jueming hadn't expected that Su Bai had come to the villa to prepare for planting vegetables. If he had known earlier, he would have made the arrangements long ago.

Having entrusted the matter to Hua Jueming, Su Bai didn't leave the villa but instead wandered around inside. He wanted to see which room was suitable for use as an office, which room was suitable for Wang Ming to live in, and where would be suitable for use as a cold storage.

The first two were manageable, but the last one was a bit difficult. The villa had a cold storage room, but it was very small and couldn't meet Su Bai's needs after opening an online store.

"Butler Hua, could you please find some more people to build a large cold storage facility next to the fishpond?"

Hua Jueming was angry. How could Su Bai personally choose a room for that little vixen Wang Ming? Wasn't this taking him too seriously? Suddenly hearing Su Bai speak, he was slightly taken aback. "Yes, Madam, I'll arrange it right away."

Su Bai looked at Hua Jueming with some surprise. This was the first time Hua Jueming hadn't responded immediately when he spoke. "Butler Hua, did you not sleep well last night either?"

Hua Jueming smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I slept very well last night!" What he was worried about was Su Bai's attitude towards Wang Ming. As a butler who was constantly worried about whether his master's backyard would catch fire, no one could know how tired he was!

"It's good that you slept well!" Su Bai said, "Then I'll leave these matters to you. It would be best if you could finish them as soon as possible."

"Yes, Madam, I understand!" Hua Jueming replied solemnly. He would definitely handle this matter well!

With the matters at the villa mostly settled, Su Bai was about to head back when his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Su Yangxia calling.

Su Bai frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the phone.

"Hey."

"Is this my second brother?" On the other end of the phone, Su Yangxia's voice was as warm as spring, with a captivating power.

"Big brother, it's me." Su Bai had no idea why Su Yangxia was calling him. He thought that Su Yangxia had lost contact with the Su family after she got married.

"Second brother, tomorrow is the day of your return visit after three days. Father specifically asked me to call and let you know. Remember to come home early for dinner tomorrow." Actually, it wasn't Su Shengrong who asked Su Yangxia to make this call, but rather Su Yangxia who took the initiative to do so.

He didn't know why he did it, but after the call connected and he heard Su Bai's voice, the irritation that had been lingering in Su Yangxia's heart for a day and a night suddenly disappeared.

"A return visit after three days?!" Su Bai was shocked and raised his voice slightly, attracting Hua Jueming's attention.

"My father and I are waiting for you at home!" Su Bai's shock naturally reached Su Yangxia's ears through the phone. Imagining Su Bai's reaction at that moment, Su Yangxia's mood inexplicably improved. After saying what she had to say, she hung up the phone without giving Su Bai a chance to refuse.

Su Bai put down his phone and stared blankly at it, lost in thought.

What does the Su family mean by this?

"Madam, should we inform the head of the family?" Hua Jueming asked worriedly. He had done such a rude thing to the Su family yesterday, but the Su family seemed to have collectively forgotten it today. There must be something wrong with this.

Su Bai thought so too. He believed he had severed ties with the Su family, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"No need, I can go back by myself!" Su Bai's greatest value now is that she has become Hua Gengchen's wife, and that's naturally what made Su Shengrong interested in her.

Since Su Bai had made his decision, Hua Jueming naturally wouldn't interfere. "I will prepare the return gifts." Since the Su family had agreed to the return visit three days later, if the Hua family didn't prepare gifts, it would likely give others cause for gossip.

"Butler Hua can handle it as he sees fit!" Su Bai paused slightly, "It doesn't need to be too heavy, just a normal weight will do!" Su Bai didn't want Su Shengrong to misunderstand anything.

"Understood, ma'am."
