045 Bathing with a Beauty—Nie Xiaoyue’s New Discovery!

Let’s all bathe together!

Gu Xiaoqian’s eyes widened instantly.

Was it really going to be this intense?

Everyone would bathe together?

That must include herself as well.

Just thinking about it sent her heart racing.

She couldn’t help but glance at the others.

She was new here, after all; she ought to learn from them.

Soon, Gu Xiaoqian noticed that You Haoyun and the others wore expressions of excitement.

It seemed as if they were already accustomed to such things.

Did they usually…?

At this thought, Gu Xiaoqian’s cheeks flushed crimson.

Soon, the bathroom was filled with steaming hot water.

The bathroom itself was enormous, nearly half the size of the living room.

Xue Feng couldn’t help but marvel—wealthy people truly knew how to enjoy themselves.

Just the bathing area alone was larger than the living space of many families of three.

But now, all of this belonged to him.

When Xue Feng arrived, the women had already rinsed themselves briefly.

“Brother Xue En, let me help you with the shower gel!” An Xiaowei was already prepared, a bottle in hand.

All the writing was in English—clearly high-end goods.

“Brother Xue Feng, I’ll scrub your back,” You Haoyun said, ready with a bath towel, poised for action.

“Brother, let me massage your legs!” Wang Xinyu chimed in immediately.

“I’ll help you wash your hair,” Nie Xiaoyue declared, equally prepared.

Witnessing all this, Gu Xiaoqian and Zhao Weisuo were left somewhat dumbfounded.

Zhao Weisuo had always regarded men as beneath her; she’d never served a man in her life.

She simply thought it was just a bath—perhaps with a few heart-pounding moments.

She hadn’t expected the others to have already prepared ways to attend to Xue Feng.

Each of them was ready.

Gu Xiaoqian now fully grasped just how fierce the competition within this villa was.

Xue Feng was the master who could determine their fates.

To survive, one must constantly prove their worth.

Seeing Xue Feng reclining in the tub, the women moved forward to serve him.

Gu Xiaoqian’s gaze drifted toward a certain place.

Yes!

“Um…” She was just about to volunteer to help clean that area, when she noticed Zhao Weisuo had already leaned in.

Xue Feng wore a satisfied smile.

Having people wait on him even during a bath—this was the life of an emperor.

“Sir, I toured the villa today and found several areas that could be improved!” At that moment, Xue Feng heard Gu Xiaoqian’s voice.

“Oh? Which areas?” His curiosity was piqued.

He recalled the intelligence reports.

Gu Xiaoqian was a talented manager, suitable for the role of housekeeper.

He had only just returned and hadn’t yet attended to this matter.

He hadn’t expected her to begin demonstrating her value so soon.

Seeing Xue Feng interested, Gu Xiaoqian promptly shared all her ideas.

To her, there were many aspects of the villa that could be improved.

For example, the storage of supplies.

Everything was gathered in one room, making it inconvenient to access.

They should be categorized in more detail according to their types.

Resource usage, too, needed a strict plan.

Currently, people just used whatever was available.

Though there was no shortage, it still led to a degree of waste.

Items with a short shelf life should be prioritized.

Others suitable for long-term storage should be set aside for later.

There were also considerations for tool usage and more.

Gu Xiaoqian expounded at length—all drawn from her experience managing factories.

Xue Feng nodded repeatedly as he listened.

The women under his command each had their own strengths.

But when it came to gentleness and managing a household, there were few qualified.

An Xiaowei was a beautiful girl, here thanks to luck alone.

You Haoyun served as a mascot—formerly a pampered heiress, with a hint of saintly demeanor.

Nie Xiaoyue was a scientist, Wang Xinyu a doctor.

Zhao Weisuo was a teacher, now doubling as a combatant.

But he truly lacked someone like Gu Xiaoqian.

“From now on, you’ll be the villa’s housekeeper,” Xue Feng said with a nod.

Then, feeling a surge, he pressed Zhao Weisuo’s head down firmly.

“Yes, sir!” Gu Xiaoqian was overjoyed—she had finally found her sense of purpose!

None of the other women expressed dissatisfaction.

Gu Xiaoqian’s new role didn’t conflict with theirs.

Besides, they weren’t suited for these complicated tasks; it was better to leave them to her.

“All right, it’s time for dinner,” Xue Feng said, rising from the tub.

The nearby beauties immediately began drying and dressing him.

Zhao Weisuo swallowed everything down, her throat moving.

When they reached the kitchen,

Xue Feng noticed everyone had used the bath as an opportunity to change into new clothes.

An Xiaowei had donned a sailor-style uniform.

You Haoyun wore a snowy white dress.

The neckline was cut low; one needed only to bow slightly to reveal a swath of pale skin.

The skirt itself was tailored to end fifteen centimeters above the knee.

A slight movement revealed the pure white fabric beneath.

It suited You Haoyun perfectly.

Nie Xiaoyue, from who knows where, had acquired a blue evening gown.

The tight skirt hugged her rounded, voluptuous hips, making them irresistibly alluring.

Her thighs traced graceful curves, and her feet sported high heels.

Skin-tone stockings accentuated the contour of her beautiful legs.

Xue Feng couldn’t help but gaze a few moments longer.

Zhao Weisuo was much simpler—just a set of tight underwear on top, and athletic pants below.

She knew her greatest advantage over the others was her figure, free from any excess fat or flesh.

Gu Xiaoqian, meanwhile, had chosen a different style—a maid outfit.

She knew she was new here.

The miniskirt she wore when she entered had already aroused hostility among the other women.

She needed to dress more conservatively now.

Besides, Xue Feng had seen plenty of bare thighs; perhaps he’d notice her for being different.

Indeed, she delighted in the fact that Xue Feng’s gaze lingered on her two seconds longer.

When the steaming dishes were served, Gu Xiaoqian was stunned.

She had nearly forgotten the taste of a hot meal.

She’d thought she would never enjoy such things again.

Unconsciously, her mouth began to water, though she didn’t notice.

Xue Feng hadn’t picked up his chopsticks, so Gu Xiaoqian dared not make a move.

She had no way of knowing that Xue Feng and the others had only recently started eating hot meals themselves.

“Let’s begin,” Xue Feng said, reaching for the food.

The others started eating, and Gu Xiaoqian was especially cautious.

“You never had enough to eat outside, right? Here, you can eat your fill,” You Haoyun said with a gentle smile.

“Yes,” Gu Xiaoqian nodded softly, deeply moved.

She noticed Wang Xinyu and Nie Xiaoyue gazing at her with warmth.

Their first experience of eating their fill in the villa had been just like hers.

Gu Xiaoqian had thought everyone here was vying for favor, but she hadn’t expected there to be genuine care as well.

“By the way, I discovered a new use for the crystal core today,” Nie Xiaoyue suddenly said.
