This really wasn’t Jiang Ziying being narcissistic. With her looks and figure, she was like a beauty straight out of a manga stepping into reality.
“But you said you’re available 24 hours. Don’t you butlers have any time off?” Shen Juan asked.
Jiang Ziying smiled gently. “When the owner doesn’t need us, that’s our rest time. Naturally, when the owner requires assistance, we must be available at any moment. So, Mr. Shen, you don’t need to have any concerns. If there’s anything you need, just call me anytime.”
Beautiful and sweet-voiced—she was truly something else.
The original author might have lacked ability in other areas, but the women in this novel were undeniably well-crafted.
“Mr. Shen, it’s getting late. If you don’t have any other instructions, I won’t disturb you further. I wish you a pleasant stay~~” Jiang Ziying said with a slight bow. As she bent forward, from Shen Juan’s angle, the view was… quite overwhelming.
“Wait,” Shen Juan called out to her. “You said I can come to you for anything, right?”
Jiang Ziying nodded. “Yes, Mr. Shen. I’m your personal butler, so I must respond to any need you have.”
She tilted her face up slightly, her lips soft and rosy like velvet cake. “Mr. Shen, what can I do for you?”
“Can you wake me up every morning? And bring me breakfast? Of course, I’ll pay you for it.”
Jiang Ziying smiled and nodded. “Of course, Mr. Shen. But you don’t need to pay extra. As the owner of the most prestigious villa, the property management fees you’ve already paid are more than sufficient.”
Shen Juan didn’t insist. “Then 7:00 AM. I tend to oversleep. An alarm alone isn’t enough to wake me. Where do you live? Is it convenient for you to come over?”
“Mr. Shen, for faster service, we butlers all stay in the dormitories on the third floor of the sales center. Starting tomorrow, I can guarantee I’ll arrive at 7:00 AM on time.”
“A shared dormitory?”
Jiang Ziying nodded. “I have a private room.”
“Do any butlers live in the owners’ homes?”
At this question, Jiang Ziying’s pretty face flushed slightly. “Yes, Mr. Shen. Some owners pay extra to designate a personal butler. In those cases, whether male or female, some butlers do live directly in the owner’s home.” Find the original chapter at NovelPing.
Shen Juan nodded and looked at her.
Jiang Ziying stood there, watching him with a mix of anticipation and nervousness.
[Ding! New character: Butler Jiang Ziying has appeared. God-Level Choice activated!]
[1: Let Jiang Ziying leave immediately. Reward: 2 disappointment points from Jiang Ziying.]
[2: Personally escort Jiang Ziying back to her dormitory. Reward: +5 favorability from Jiang Ziying and passive skill “Gentleman’s Glow.” When alone with Jiang Ziying, her trust toward the host increases slightly.]
[3: Take the initiative to invite her to move in and become a true live-in butler. Reward: +5 heartbeat points from Jiang Ziying, 1 Constitution Enhancement Elixir, 1 Beauty Preservation Pill.]
Option three matched Shen Juan’s original intention perfectly—and the rewards were exactly what he wanted. He chose 3 without hesitation.
“I wonder if you’d be willing to live here. It would make it easier for you to take care of my daily needs.”
Jiang Ziying’s lips parted slightly, her face flushing like a ripe peach. She looked at Shen Juan in surprise, her large eyes filled with shyness and nervousness.
Shen Juan thought he had startled her and quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m living alone in such a big house anyway. Your dorm conditions probably aren’t as comfortable as this. If you stay here, it’ll be easier for you to wake me up in the mornings. Of course, I’ll prepare a private room for you. If you’re unwilling, I understand and will respect your decision.”
“No, Mr. Shen. As the owner, your request is something I should try my best to fulfill. Then… should I move in tonight?” Jiang Ziying replied. She seemed to have accepted it, no longer as flustered as before.
“Yes, if it’s convenient for you.”
“Alright, Mr. Shen. I’ll go back and pack my things.”
Shen Juan nodded. “Just bring your daily necessities. Everything else is already here. Actually, I’ll show you the room first. If you need anything, you can bring it later.”
“Okay, thank you, Mr. Shen.”
Jiang Ziying followed obediently behind him.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for making your choice. Reward received: +5 heartbeat points from Jiang Ziying, 1 Constitution Enhancement Elixir, 1 Beauty Preservation Pill. Stored in system inventory. Please check at your convenience.]
[Additionally, the system has prepared a room for Jiang Ziying on the first floor, the first room at the far right corner. Host may take her there.]
The system adjusted everything seamlessly based on Shen Juan’s situation. When he had toured earlier, that room had been a game room—now it had become Jiang Ziying’s private chamber? Read the latest chapters at novelping.com.
Even Shen Juan didn’t know what it looked like now.
“I had actually planned to prepare a room anyway. I didn’t know you offered butler services. I was even thinking of posting a job ad to hire someone to take care of my daily life.”
“Since I might raise a cat later, and the house is so big, daily cleaning is quite troublesome. So after you move in, I’ll pay you an additional 20,000 yuan per month.”
“Ah? Mr. Shen, that’s too much!” Jiang Ziying shook her head repeatedly.
Even as a top-tier butler, her monthly salary was only around 15,000 yuan. An extra 20,000 yuan per month was beyond anything she had imagined.
“It’s not too much. You’ll be making breakfast, waking me up, handling cleaning, and maybe helping with other things in the future. The work will be scattered and complicated. This is something I’m willing to pay. It has nothing to do with your company, so don’t worry.”
Jiang Ziying was deeply moved. “Thank you, Mr. Shen. I’ll do my best.”
“This will be your room. See if you’re satisfied.”
Shen Juan opened the door to the room the system had just prepared. Jiang Ziying stepped inside.
The room was spacious, with a bay window, a bed, wardrobe, vanity, computer desk, sofa—everything one could need, and all of it branded and high quality.
“Mr. Shen, this room is too big. You could’ve just given me a maid’s room. How can I, as a butler, live in such a nice place?” Jiang Ziying said humbly, clearly overwhelmed.
“It’s fine. This is your room from now on. I have plenty of rooms here. Why squeeze you into a small maid’s room? My bedroom is on the second floor, directly above this one. You can just wake me up from here tomorrow.”
Jiang Ziying was touched. “Alright, Mr. Shen. I understand. Do you have any dietary restrictions? I’ll start preparing your breakfast from tomorrow.”
“No restrictions. I’m not picky. Just make an extra portion when you cook. Eat with me. No need to be reserved—it’ll save you the trouble of cooking twice.”
After saying that, Shen Juan headed upstairs. “Alright, I’m going to rest. Let me know if you need anything. Also, the rooms on the third floor are empty. No need to clean them for now. I’ll decide what to do with them later.”
Jiang Ziying replied respectfully, “Understood, Mr. Shen.”
