Fell in Love with the Crazy Young Lady - chapter 4

“Manman?”

“Manman!”

Hua Man snapped back to reality and looked at Chen Yan’s worried face. She said in a low voice, “Mom, I’m fine.”

Chen Yan wanted to say something but held back. Her daughter didn’t look fine at all. Ever since returning from the young miss’s place, Hua Man had been distracted, making people worry.

“Did the young miss give you a hard time?”

“It’s normal for the young miss to dislike you. She’s never liked people arranged by the madam. She might deliberately make things difficult for you…” Chen Yan said with a sigh.

Although the mother and daughter rarely spent time together, she knew her daughter had always been excellent since childhood. Despite their poor family circumstances, she actually had some pride.

The young miss had that kind of temper too. It was common for servants to be mistreated around the young miss. She had seen it for over 20 years and occasionally found it hard to endure, let alone the young Hua Man.

“No.” Hua Man didn’t want to say more. “Mom, don’t worry about me. Go rest.”

Hearing this, no matter how worried Chen Yan was, she could only swallow her words and leave quietly.

The room fell silent, and Hua Man let out a heavy sigh.

Lying on the soft bed, Hua Man’s mind involuntarily drifted back to the events of the day. The young miss’s attitude towards her was really quite strange.

Logically, she should dislike her, should treat her like that servant, scolding and beating her as her mom said. But she didn’t sense any disgust from the young miss, instead… but how could that be possible?

Suppressing those odd thoughts, Hua Man closed her eyes, not letting herself overthink anymore.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, that spine-tingling “Manman” echoed in her ears.

Hua Man: “…”

Haunting and truly annoying.

–

The next day, although she felt aversion towards that young miss in her heart, Hua Man still had to get properly dressed and go to work.

Today was considered her first official day of work, and she had changed into the bodyguard uniform sent by the young miss.

Before coming to work as a bodyguard for the Yang family, she had always thought the matching servant clothes and bodyguard uniforms in TV dramas were just for show. Now that she was actually wearing one, she truly realized how big the gap between people could be – even the bodyguard uniforms for rich people were designer brands.

The fabric was very soft and comfortable, the only drawback being that the clothes were a bit tight.

The waist wasn’t too constricting, but the chest area felt somewhat tight.

She was used to wearing loose clothes normally, so suddenly wearing such tight-fitting clothes made her feel uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it. It felt like she wasn’t wearing clothes at all, making her feel particularly insecure.

Especially when she arrived by the young miss’s side and the young miss’s burning gaze fixed on her, she wished she could take off the clothes she was wearing.

“It looks really good.” Yang Zhao smiled. “Looks like I have good taste.”

What did that mean?

Hua Man looked up in shock.

But the young miss didn’t say anything more. She seemed to have not slept well either, with noticeable dark circles under her eyes.

With skin like the young miss’s, any marks on her body would be very obvious. Thinking of this, Hua Man unconsciously lowered her gaze, her eyes falling on her wrist. It was so fair that faint blue veins were visible, but the red finger marks from yesterday were gone.

Hua Man’s mood became somewhat complex.

“What are you looking at?”

The young miss suddenly looked at her.

Hearing this, Hua Man immediately adjusted her expression: “Nothing.”

She had stayed up all night thinking, and finally concluded: she shouldn’t react to any of the young miss’s words or actions.

Whether the young miss was trying to drive her away through these inexplicable behaviors, or was truly interested in her, she should act like a robot.

Once she ignored the young miss enough times, the young miss would naturally find her uninteresting and lose interest in her.

“So dishonest.” Yang Zhao sighed.

Hua Man pretended to be mute. After all, she was just a bodyguard, she just needed to do her job well.

However, the young miss today was still hard to get used to. Hua Man always felt the young miss’s gaze lingering on her body from time to time. Although it didn’t make her feel disgusted, being stared at like this made her not know where to put her hands and feet, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She tried to adapt for a long time, but still couldn’t ignore that gaze.

But fortunately, the young miss didn’t tease her like yesterday.

The young miss seemed to be going out today. Everyone was busy, bringing many clothes for the young miss to choose from. But she was really picky. Hua Man had always worn whatever was available. Before meeting the young miss, she had never imagined someone would need nearly an hour just to pick out clothes.

And in this short hour, she just stood there and saw nearly a hundred outfits, making her dizzy and even giving her a headache.

But the others seemed used to it.

While the young miss was changing clothes, Hua Man raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror.

Just one glance made her freeze.

The her in the mirror was naturally beautiful, but the clothes completely outlined her figure, especially her chest. Although she had buttoned up to the very top, the curves couldn’t be hidden, completely exposed…

The her in the mirror instantly turned as red as a shrimp.

“You look really good.” A small voice came from beside her.

Hua Man turned her head.

Of course the young miss’s bodyguards weren’t just her alone. There were actually six such personal bodyguards, working in pairs of two to ensure the young miss always had bodyguards with her. Her colleague was called Gao Yanhua, short with a baby face, always making people feel she was an innocent and delicate college student.

But according to what her mom told her last night, Gao Yanhua was already 30, with a child in kindergarten. It’s just that her baby face really made her look much younger, and she was pretty too, making it impossible to tell her age.

Thinking of this, Hua Man suddenly realized that the people around the young miss all seemed quite good-looking.

So was the young miss obsessed with looks?

“We’re wearing the same clothes, but it feels different on us.” Gao Yanhua puffed out her chest. “Why do I look like a kid wearing adult clothes?”

Gao Yanhua’s action inevitably made Hua Man conscious of the curves on her own chest again. She tensed her face: “My clothes are too small.”

Gao Yanhua looked her over carefully and said softly: “Your clothes seem to have been altered.”

She patted her own waist, then pointed at Hua Man’s chest: “They should have been made smaller.”

Hearing this, Hua Man immediately looked down to compare the differences between her uniform and Gao Yanhua’s. Realizing it was indeed as Gao Yanhua said, that although they were the same size, certain areas were different, her expression went blank for a few moments, which was rare.

There was movement from the room, and Gao Yanhua immediately fell silent and stood straight.

The young miss came out of the room.

Because of what she had just discovered, Hua Man’s expression was hard to control no matter how she tried.

“Oh? Who upset you?” Yang Zhao raised an eyebrow in amusement. “Your face looks so sour.”

Hua Man swallowed her anger: “No one.”

Even if she discovered it, what could she do? Yang Zhao was the young miss, her boss. She couldn’t possibly question her about this, could she?

Hua Man wasn’t that stupid.

The young miss was busy going out, so she didn’t waste too much time on her this time.

However, the young miss’s preparations for going out were really too much. They started preparing at 8:30 in the morning, but it wasn’t until 11:30 that the young miss finally got in the car.

Originally Hua Man thought the young miss’s outing would be very grand, but unexpectedly, the young miss only had her follow along.

“Just me?” She couldn’t help but confirm.

“Of course.” Yang Zhao turned to look at her. “Don’t tell me you’re afraid to follow me alone?”

This was doubting her work ability. Hua Man immediately denied: “No.”

Hearing this, Yang Zhao’s lips curved up slightly. She didn’t say more and bent down to get in the car.

As soon as she sat down, she saw Hua Man open the front passenger door. She frowned in displeasure: “If you sit in the front, how will you protect me if someone attacks from the side?”

Hua Man was stumped by the question. After hesitating for a moment, she still opened the door on the young miss’s other side.

The young miss’s car was very spacious, with a nice smell inside and lots of snacks. As soon as the car started moving, the partition between the driver’s seat and the back automatically rose, instantly turning the back into a separate small space.

Hua Man’s back stiffened, her whole body tensing up.

This was her first time sitting in such an enclosed space with the young miss. Combined with the young miss’s strange attitude towards her before, she couldn’t help but overthink.

However, the young miss didn’t have any inappropriate behavior throughout the journey. A few times Hua Man couldn’t help but secretly glance at her through the car window.

The young miss wasn’t looking at her. Her gaze was on the scenery outside, her expression somewhat intriguing. She didn’t know what she was thinking, but the corners of her mouth were always slightly raised, seeming to be in a good mood.

If she was in a good mood, things should go smoothly, right?

Hua Man silently prayed. It was her first official day of work, she hoped nothing unexpected would happen.

–

The young miss’s destination was a restaurant.

The car stopped, and Hua Man got out first, very astutely opening the door on the young miss’s side. But the young miss looked up at her without making any move to get out.

Before she could ask, the young miss had already sighed: “Give me your hand.”

Hua Man frowned, but still honestly held out her hand.

Her wrist was grasped, the young miss’s burning temperature transmitted over. Hua Man’s heart rate instantly accelerated. Before she could think too much, her hand was pulled up and pressed against the top of the car door. The young miss said seriously: “Manman, if you make a mistake again next time, I will punish you.”

Hua Man: “…”

–

The young miss always booked the entire restaurant when dining out.

In the huge restaurant, apart from the waiters and pianist, there were only her and the young miss. Hua Man couldn’t quite understand – with things already at this level, could anyone still harm the young miss? She felt her presence was somewhat redundant.

It couldn’t be like in TV dramas where an assassination attempt suddenly occurs, right?

But it was said the young miss had offended quite a few people, so maybe she really did have some enemies.

Thinking of this, she became alert, carefully observing the surroundings, especially those waiters. Every time they approached, Hua Man was on high alert.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened until all the dishes were served.

“Manman, come sit down.”

The young miss beckoned her with a smile.

Hua Man pressed her lips together: “Young miss, that’s not appropriate.”

“How is it not appropriate?” Hearing this, the smile instantly disappeared from Yang Zhao’s face. Her eyes darkened. “What I say goes. I’m not asking for your opinion. Come sit down.”
