Chapter 4: Call me Second Miss!
"Ding ding ding!" Tian Wuming pressed the doorbell on the iron gate, and a voice came from the phone next to the doorbell: "May I ask who you are looking for?"
"Hello, I'm Tian Wuming! I'm here looking for Li Yanran!" Tian Wuming casually replied into the phone.
"It's Young Master Tian after all. The young lady has mentioned you to us, please come in!" Then, a "creak" sound was heard, and the iron gate slowly opened up a path.
A middle-aged woman in her 40s, apparently a maid judging from her attire, walked out from the side and said, "Young Master Tian, hello! Miss has been waiting for you in the living room. Please follow me!"
"Oh! Good! Thank you!" Tian Wuming followed honestly behind the woman, slowly walking towards the villa.
After entering the villa, Tian Wuming only knew what it meant to be wasteful and luxurious with money. The entire villa was decorated in a golden color, with famous paintings hanging on each of the four walls, and two-meter-high antique vases standing on either side of the corridor. From their colors, they looked like they were at least several hundred years old. Tian Wuming wasn't stupid enough to think that those things were fake, no rich person would use fake things to show off.
"Miss, Master Tian has arrived!" The middle-aged woman bowed slightly and said with a respectful face.
"Uh-huh, you go down first! Sometimes I'll call for you, Wang Shuo!" The girl sitting on the sofa said lightly.
"Hmm, this voice is so sweet! It sounds quite comfortable to listen to!" Tian Wumeng looked at the girl sitting on the sofa with her back to him, and in his heart, he gave her voice a relatively high evaluation.
"Are you Tian Wuming?" The girl put down the magazine in her hand, stood up and turned around to look at Tian Wuming with a hint of doubt.
"Wow! It's really super cool! Master didn't cheat me!" Tian Wuming exclaimed excitedly in his heart.
The girl was about 170cm tall, with a head of shiny black straight hair that fell from her shoulders to her waist. She wore a cute pink kitty hair clip on her head, and had a pointed face with a pair of light eyebrows, big eyes that sparkled brightly upwards, and a small nose that matched her bright red lips. "Cute" was Tian Wuming's first impression.
The girl wore a tailored pale purple V-neck dress, the hem falling just below her thighs. Although the neckline wasn't as low as a deep V, it perfectly showcased the girl's ample bust, no E but definitely D! Tian Wuming shamelessly thought to himself. Her slender waist was delicate and refined, without an ounce of excess fat. And then there were those clean and white legs, long and radiant. Sensual, Tian Wuming's second evaluation.
Just as Tian Wuming was secretly sizing up Li Yanran, Li Yanran was also secretly sizing up Tian Wuming. "How different from when we were young?" Li Yanran thought to herself, seeing that Tian Wuming didn't respond to her, she furrowed her brow and said: "Tian Wuming, I'm calling you!"
"Ah! What?" Tian Wuming was interrupted by Li Yanran and felt a bit embarrassed.
"I'm telling you, are you really Tian Wuming?" Li Yanran looked at Tian Wuming with a hint of anger. Anyone would be angry, in the past when people saw him talking to them they would rush to speak, but he was different, asking two questions and not hearing a single response.
"Ah! What's up? I'm Tian Wuming! Are there people impersonating me? Although I look pretty good, it's not like they need to imitate me!" Tian Wuming walked unceremoniously to the sofa and plopped himself down, stroking his handsome face with both hands.
"Hmph! As expected, it's him, still as shamelessly self-absorbed as ever. But he seems to have forgotten me, heh heh! Let's see how I'll play with him, daring to steal my first kiss when I was young!" Li Yanran thought mischievously in her heart, but her face remained expressionless. "Tian Wumeng, get up for me!"
"Huh, why?" Tian Wuming was clearly puzzled as to why Li Yueran had let him stand up.
"From the moment you stepped into this villa, our master-slave contract has taken effect. So from now on, I am your master. When I tell you to stand, you stand; when I tell you to sit, you sit; and when I tell you to do something, you must do it unconditionally! Do you understand?" Li Yanran said slowly, her hands clasped behind her back as she paced around the living room.
"I protest! I'm just a servant for you, not a slave!" Tian Wuming quickly stretched out his right hand and shouted loudly, but in his heart he was already scolding that hateful master of his: You old codger, this woman is obviously difficult to serve, what kind of good deed did I do to deserve this! Poor me!
"Protests are invalid! First of all, as a servant in the Li family, the first condition is that you cannot refute what the master says; the second condition is that what the master says must be executed." Li Yanran continued with a complacent expression: "Especially since you're my servant, if you violate our contract, I have the right to punish you!" After finishing speaking, she playfully shook her small white finger at Tian Wuming.
"What contract? Where did I sign a contract with you?! Don't cheat me! I only agreed to be your apprentice for three months, and once the time is up, I'll leave immediately!" Tian Wuming looked at Li Yanran with a hint of confusion, clearly he had never heard Master mention anything about a contract.
Li Yanran had long expected Tian Wuming to say this, and she waved her hand for Wang Shu to bring the contract from outside. Before long, Wang Shu handed the contract over to Tian Wuming.
"What the hell is this?" Tian Wuming only looked at the first clause and didn't dare to look further, seeing that it was clearly written on the contract: Tian Wuming became Li Yanran's servant, with the first clause stating "Li Yanran has the right to punish Tian Wuming in any way". "What kind of servant signs a contract like this? What does 'has the right to punish me in any way' even mean?"
"Hmm! It's written clearly above, isn't it? As long as I'm not happy, I'll punish you!" Li Yanran explained to Tian Wuming responsibly. "Heh heh! Watch me make a mess of you this time!"
"I won't do it! Anyway, I didn't sign up for this. I'm not serving you!" Tian Wuming walked briskly towards the villa gate with his luggage.
"If you want others to know that you still wet the bed at the age of ten, then leave!" Li Yanran proudly waved the contract in the air, and then raised her proud head, forgetting that Tian Wuming had already stopped in his tracks. It's worth knowing that this trick was something she had learned from Tian Wuming's master after a long time, according to Tian Wuming's master's revelation, Tian Wuming wasn't afraid of anything, except for one thing - being known by others that he still wet the bed at the age of ten.
"Old man! I'm not done with you!" Tian Wuming cursed at his master in his heart, this matter only he and his master knew about. If it wasn't for his master saying so, he wouldn't have believed it would be fatal. Obviously, Tian Wuming was indeed very concerned about this matter. Men, after all, want to save face a bit, but unfortunately, this matter isn't that glorious. He turned around, gritting his teeth and staring at Li Yanran with a smug expression: "You win! Li Yanran, what do you want to do? Your family doesn't seem to lack servants?"
"Heavenly Unnamed, it seems I must teach you how to be a qualified servant!" Li Yanran was clearly dissatisfied with Heavenly Unnamed's address, and after a pause, said: "From now on, you have to call me Second Miss!"
