Finest Servant Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Story (Part 1)

Seeing Lin Wanrong's cold, mocking gaze, Second Miss Xiao suddenly remembered the hardships she had suffered at his hands and dared not say anything more. With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, “You're such a scoundrel. One day, your bullying will be the death of me.”

Seeing that the once-arrogant Second Miss Xiao was now driven to this point, Lin Wanrong couldn't bear to make things harder for her. Her current appearance was indeed unsuitable for going out in public. Lin glanced around and noticed a few pieces of soft silk next to General Zhenyuan. He picked them up and placed them under Second Miss Xiao, saying, “Don't strain yourself. Just sit down slowly.”

Xiao Yushuang knew he meant well, but she couldn't help glaring at him. Lin Wanrong pretended not to notice and helped her sit down slowly. As soon as her buttocks touched the silk, Second Miss Xiao still winced in pain. With Lin Wanrong's help, she finally endured the pain and sat down slowly. Lin Wanrong then casually sat down beside her, leaning against the wall.

Neither of them spoke, and the empty room became extremely quiet for a while. Xiao Yushuang sat against the wall, feeling the burning sensation on her buttocks and couldn't help but blush. She stealthily glanced at the fierce Lin San, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes downcast, looking somewhat lonely, and wondered what he was thinking about.

“Lin, Lin San, don't worry, I promise I won't let my dog bite you again. I swear,” Second Miss Xiao thought he was still worried about her revenge and quickly expressed her intentions. Lin Wanrong, however, was not thinking about that at all. After the tussle with the young girl, he felt a bit weary and wanted to rest. Unexpectedly, he suddenly thought of how he could never see his parents or sister again in this world, and his mood became heavy.

Seeing him remaining silent with a stern expression, Xiao Yushuang thought he didn't believe her and hurriedly said, “Really, Lin San, trust me, I won't bully you anymore. Let's… let's make peace, okay?”

Make peace? Lin Wanrong found it quite amusing. Did she think this was some childish game of playing house? However, the young girl did seem to have softened quite a bit, perhaps genuinely frightened by him. “Second Miss, as long as you keep your promise, I won't do anything to you,” Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

Xiao Yushuang nodded gently and stole glances at him. Her eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking about.

Lin Wanrong glanced at the still-tethered General Zhenyuan and laughed, “Second Miss Xiao, did you specifically find this General Zhenyuan in Suzhou to deal with me?”

Xiao Yushuang's face flushed, “No, it's not specifically to deal with you. I just found it fun and brought it back to play with.”

Lin Wanrong saw her evasive gaze and knew the girl wasn't telling the truth, so he said, “In that case, I'll slaughter this beast today. I must tell you, dog meat is quite delicious.”

Second Miss Xiao angrily said, “You dare—” Seeing Lin Wanrong's fierce gaze, she softened her tone, “Alright, alright, it doesn't matter if you know. I brought General Zhenyuan from Suzhou, intending to use it against you, the villain, but who would've thought—”

“Who would've thought that before it could be of any use, you fell into my hands, right?” Lin Wanrong interrupted her.

Xiao Yushuang thought of the situation where she had fallen into his hands and was spanked, and her face couldn't help but blush. She lowered her head and said, “Lin San, can I ask you for a favor?”

“Hmm, go ahead.” Seeing the girl's sincere attitude and honest behavior, Lin Wanrong nodded.

“Can you please not tell anyone about you spanking me, especially not my mother or sister?” Xiao Yushuang's face turned red. Although she was young, she was still a girl and a young lady. Being spanked by a man would be too embarrassing if it got out.

Lin Wanrong laughed, “Second Miss Xiao, what are you asking me to keep secret? Oh my, what happened this afternoon? I can't seem to remember anything at all.”

Seeing him pretending to be clueless, Xiao Yushuang knew he was trying to reassure her and felt grateful. She added, “Lin San, since General Zhenyuan hasn't provoked you, can you spare it for now?”

Seeing Lin Wanrong's gaze, Second Miss Xiao hurriedly explained, “I want to raise it. Our Xiao family's courtyard is big, so it can be a watchdog in the future.”

Lin Wanrong nodded, “As long as you don't let this vicious dog bully people, you can do whatever you want.”

Second Miss Xiao quickly said, “It won't, it won't. Don't worry. If I bully someone again, you can spank me there again.” Her cheeks turned pink, seemingly remembering the punishment.

After resting for a while, Lin Wanrong had Xiao Yushuang open the secret door, and it automatically opened.

The feeling of seeing the sun again was truly wonderful. Lin Wanrong stretched lazily, feeling a little worried about Second Miss Xiao, General Zhenyuan, and the vicious dog. Turning back, he saw the dog still staring intently at him, while Xiao Yushuang leaned against the wall, deep in thought.

Lin Wanrong felt that he had sufficiently dealt with the girl today and believed she wouldn't dare provoke him again. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Xiao Yushuang say, “You, Ser— are you just going to leave like this?”

Although she quickly swallowed the word “servant,” Lin Wanrong still felt annoyed and stared at her, “Second Miss Xiao, I've already made it clear to you that although I work for your family, we only have an employment relationship. I'm not your family's servant. I hope you understand.”

Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Yushuang pouted, “Fine, I won't call you that. From now on, I'll call you Lin San. Is that okay?”

Her tone was surprisingly gentle, probably because Lin Wanrong had frightened her. When Second Miss Xiao wasn't letting her dog attack people, she was quite a lovely girl, around 16 or 17 years old—a lovable age. Lin Wanrong found it difficult to be angry with her.

“No problem. Everyone calls me Lin San, and you can call me that too,” Lin Wanrong said.

“Is Lin San your real name?” Second Miss Xiao was a clever girl and asked curiously.

“A name is just a symbol. In the Xiao family, I am known as Lin San,” Lin Wanrong said with a smile. In the Xiao family's courtyard, all the maids and servants were given the Xiao surname, except for Lin Wanrong.

Xiao Yushuang knew he didn't want to reveal his real name and couldn't help but snort softly, “So stingy.”

Lin Wanrong didn't want to engage in more conversation with her and was about to leave when Xiao Yushuang called out, “Lin San, wait a moment.”

Turning back, Lin Wanrong asked impatiently, “Second Miss Xiao, what is it now?”

“Lin San, I heard from the maids that you can recite poetry and hum many tunes. Is that true?” Xiao Yushuang looked at him with hope.

“No!” Lin Wanrong answered decisively. He was joking. If everyone asked him to recite poetry, he would be drained.

“Hmph, I've never met someone as stingy as you,” Xiao Yushuang snorted, “You won't tell me who made that painting or whose idea the booklet was. You won't even recite a few lines of poetry for me. Are you really that aggrieved? I've been beaten and bullied by you, so why are you still like this?”

Second Miss Xiao's eyes reddened, thinking of the grievances she had suffered. Tears were forming, and they were about to fall any moment.
