Gu Manman's voice was very low, but it was still completely heard by Leng Aotian who was present.
He raised his head and looked at her, "What did you just say?"
She was stunned and said, "I said you look very cute now."
The coldness on Leng Aotian's face became stronger and stronger, as if he was about to explode in the next second.
Seeing this scene, Ye Lan was startled and took several steps back, seeming to be escaping from the danger zone.
But Gu Manman acted like a normal person and didn't react at all.
Suddenly, Gu Manman's hand took the initiative to pat Leng Aotian's head: "Everything I said is true."
Leng Aotian, who was exuding cold air pressure, suddenly seemed to have lost any temper. The aura on his body dissipated instantly, and the cold air pressure disappeared, leaving only a trace of unnaturalness and avoidance.
He lowered his head, and a few suspicious little blushes appeared on his face.
"What are you talking about? Are you using your cuteness on my head?"
Ye Lan looked at everything in front of her and seemed to have the answer in her heart.
Leng Aotian's temper was not something that any of them could control, but since Gu Manman appeared, Leng Aotian was able to control his temper.
This is indeed a surprising thing, but at the same time, it seems to be proving something, proving that Gu Manman is the most suitable woman for Leng Aotian.
"By the way, what did I do before! I want to get into work as soon as possible." Gu Manman put down the water glass in her hand.
Ye Lan answered her question, "Gu Manman, you are Mr. Leng's assistant."
She was overjoyed. They say that those who are near the water and towers get the moon first, so she was too close!
"Well, if you want to go back to work, you can follow Mr. Leng tomorrow."
Ye Lan nodded.
Gu Manman stood up immediately, "Okay! I'll go to work tomorrow!"
As soon as she finished speaking, his big hand held her down again and pushed her back to the sofa: "No, you can take a good rest at home."
How could he dare to let her go to work after something like this happened? What if the same thing happened again? He didn't dare to think about it...
"Just stay at home and stay safe. Don't even think about going to work. I can support you."
Leng Aotian said calmly, his words were domineering inside and outside.
Gu Manman was stunned, "But I can't keep eating and drinking from you for free like this! I have to work, I have to pay you for accommodation, food, water and electricity..."
She calculated everything clearly.
Leng Aotian's face became increasingly gloomy, "If you really have to pay that money, you will never be able to earn the fees in your life."
"...What kind of attitude do you have! Why do you say that! Tell me how much you can charge for it!"
Gu Manman put her hands on her hips and said angrily.
Leng Aotian turned back to look at her and smiled at her: "If you want to stay in the palace for one night, it will cost at least 5 million, and eating here will not be less than 1 million. The water, electricity, servants, food...etc.
Add it all up, and I’ll give you a discount, let’s say it’s ten million a day.”
"Let's count the first day from today. Do you want to pay by check or cash?"
After hearing the numbers from his mouth, Gu Manman opened her mouth wide in surprise. She couldn't close it. She hesitated for a long time and couldn't hold back a complete sentence for a long time.
She looked at Ye Lan as if asking for help, as if to verify whether what Leng Aotian just said was true.
Ye Lan nodded towards her: "Manman, what Mr. Leng said is true. Mr. Leng's palace is the largest and most luxurious palace in country M. Generally, heads of state from other countries are not qualified to stay. At most, they can only watch and observe.
That’s all. So, if you want to move in, it’s even more difficult. Not only do you need a good identity, but you also need money.”
"The price that Mr. Leng just mentioned has already been heavily discounted."
Gu Manman glanced at Leng Aotian, and then at Ye Lan who was serious. The scary thing was that she couldn't tell that these two people were joking with her.
"Do you want to pay by check or cash? How many days do you plan to pay first?"
Leng Aotian continued to ask.
She shivered for a while and backed away, "Well, can I move out now?"
Ten million a day, even if I kill her, she can't afford to live there!
Moreover, why does Leng Aotian in front of him change his face as soon as he changes his face? He was a gentle and cute handsome guy before, but now he has turned into a sinister man?
"No." Leng Aotian rejected her without even thinking.
Gu Manman stamped her feet, "Why! Why can't I move out if I can't afford it!?"
He nodded coldly, "Once you come in, you can't get out, and you can't get out alive."
The sudden cold air made her shiver, and she hugged her arms.
Can't get out alive? Does she have to die to get out?
"You, you, are you going to force me to death?! If you don't let me out, I can't pay! Isn't this forcing me to die?"
Leng Aotian shook his head, "No, as long as you stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere, I won't charge you any money. You can stay as long as you want."
Gu Manman looked at him suspiciously, "Why do you do this?"
She felt that Leng Aotian was very strange. He clearly refused to let her leave and proposed such an excessive amount of money. It felt like he was making things difficult for her, but at the same time he seemed to be protecting her...
"This is my home, I can do whatever I want. You only have two choices, accept or reject."
Leng Aotian maintained his usual sinister and arrogant character.
Gu Manman gritted her teeth angrily, and finally turned around and thumped upstairs, looking as if she was going to crush the stairs.
Seeing the woman return to her room, Leng Aotian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Leng, in fact, you deliberately said such hurtful words to protect Gu Manman, right?" Ye Lan looked like she understood everything.
Leng Aotian did not answer her question directly, "She has never been a patient person. If I don't put pressure on her, she will only want to break through the restraints and go outside. If she goes outside, she will only let other people have trouble.
People with different intentions can take advantage of this opportunity."
"You also know that she is impatient. If you do this, sooner or later she will resist and sneak out."
Ye Lan sighed softly.
Leng Aotian rubbed his aching temples, "As long as I can protect her temporarily, for other things, I will think of other ways."
He looked at the body covered by a white cloth not far away: "How is it? Have you found out the identity of the killer?"
"No. The killer didn't leave anything on his body." Ye Lan reported truthfully, "But the strange thing is that there is a strange symbol on his neck."
Leng Aotian narrowed his eyes curiously: "Strange symbol? What symbol?"
The two walked to the corpse. Ye Lan pulled away the white cloth and turned the corpse over. There was a strange symbol similar to a tattoo on the back of the corpse's neck.
The symbol is a capital j, which seems to reveal some mysterious information.
