Chapter 3: Accidents within accidents 3
The sky cleared up, and Pei Haochuan's high fever returned to normal after a night of tossing and turning. Qian Mengmeng made him a bowl of light porridge, and after reminding him to take medicine on time, she finally walked out of the villa's gate.
The early morning after the spring rain was still a little chilly. Qian Mengmeng yawned sleepily. Although she took a nap and had a sweet dream about eating chicken legs, she only slept for less than two hours in total because she had to take care of Pei Haochuan.
"Fifty thousand dollars is really hard to earn." Qian Mengmeng stretched lazily, looked around vigilantly, and left only after seeing that there were no stray dogs around.
The tree-lined road was lined with lush green leaves, and the sight of green everywhere made people gradually feel soothed. However, just a few steps out of the villa area, a hand suddenly reached out from the shadows and covered her mouth. Before Qian Mengmeng could react, she was dragged behind the towering willow tree by a force the next moment.
"Wow..." She struggled in fear.
"Hush! Don't be afraid, it's me!"
Before she had time to scream and struggle, the person who "kidnapped" her let go of her hand first. When the man turned to Qian Mengmeng, she widened her eyes in surprise.
"Senior Yuan?" Qian Mengmeng looked at Yuan Xinyi, who was wearing a gray sportswear. "Why are you here? You scared me to death!"
Yuan Xinyi waved her hands cheerfully: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect to scare you."
She saw a SLR camera hanging around Yuan Xinyi's neck and asked in confusion, "Are you here to take pictures? Is there any special gossip here? Wait...you are not here to secretly take pictures of Pei Haochuan, are you?"
Yuan Xinyi put his arm around Qian Mengmeng's shoulders and said with a sly smile, "It took me a lot of effort to find out Pei Haochuan's address. How did you know he lived here?"
Oops, I let it slip.
Qian Mengmeng looked annoyed: "I...I..."
"Well, I saw you coming out of Pei Haochuan's house early in the morning," Yuan Xinyi asked gossipingly, "When did you become so close? Didn't you say last time that you made him hit his head, but he ignored your apology at all?"
"Yeah..." Qian Mengmeng answered vaguely, "We are not close. Do you stay here every day? How many days have you been here?"
"Only three or four days. I didn't come yesterday because the weather was bad," Yuan Xinyi glanced at the photos on the screen of the SLR camera and said slowly, "It's no use for me to change the subject. I've been squatting here for a few days. Not to mention girls, even a courier hasn't entered Pei Haochuan's house. You can come out of his house, so your relationship must be special. Xiao Meng, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you two?"
Employment relationship, Qian Mengmeng answered in her heart.
However, she and Pei Haochuan had signed a confidentiality agreement and could not tell anyone that she was a personal assistant. But now, what reason could she come up with to deal with this matter without leaking the secret?
Seeing Qian Mengmeng remained silent, Yuan Xinyi stopped asking aggressive questions. He just sighed and said sadly, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask anymore. But Xiao Meng, can you do me a favor? I can only rely on you now."
Qian Mengmeng and Yuan Xinyi had known each other for such a long time, so she immediately became alert: "What do you want to do?"
"I want you to help me collect information about Pei Haochuan." Yuan Xinyi said quickly, as if afraid that she would not agree.
"no."
Yuan Xinyi continued to persuade him, "Xiao Meng, our 'Chengtian Gossip' public account plans to write an article about Pei Haochuan. The preview has been sent out, but Pei Haochuan is not only low-key but also very mysterious. He usually doesn't talk to others! I haven't got any useful information now. He is in contact with you now, so please help me."
Yuan Xinyi was actually very nice to her. He would lend a helping hand whenever she needed help, and he would never ask others for help easily. Qian Mengmeng frowned in confusion: "But..."
"I promise, you don't need to ask about my privacy!" Yuan Xinyi interrupted her, "You just need to tell me where he likes to go, what colors he likes, what he likes to eat, and what he hates."
As if remembering something, she added, "And the news about Pei Haochuan is very important. Ever since we released the notice that we were going to write about him, the number of followers has exceeded 10,000! If we work harder, one of the best advertising companies in the city will sponsor our official account. Then, as the provider of information, your reward will be at least 20,000."
"real?"
Qian Mengmeng seemed to hear the sound of gold coins scattering in her heart.
Favorite places, colors, food, as long as someone is willing to pay attention, they will definitely notice these things. She covered her chest, and the conditions that Pei Haochuan said kept flashing in her mind. She hesitated: "These... are not considered private, right?"
Thinking of the high-interest loan that she had no idea when she would be able to pay back, Qian Mengmeng struggled for a long time before finally compromising: "I know, I'll keep an eye on it."
Yuan Xinyi patted her shoulder happily and sighed: "Oh, if only you knew Mi Su, then I would have a place to go for the two articles I have on hand."
When Qian Mengmeng heard Yuan Xinyi mention Mi Su, the scene in the bedroom suddenly appeared in her mind. Yuan Xinyi took out her camera and flipped through it, and pulled out a photo: "I think they should know each other. The day before yesterday, I took a photo of Pei Haochuan and Mi Su talking at school, but they were too far away to know what they were talking about. A male god and a goddess, they look so compatible."
Qian Mengmeng leaned over to take a look. Yuan Xinyi took pictures of two people's backs. They were very close to each other. Pei Haochuan even lowered his head slightly, as if he was listening carefully to Mi Su's words.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women, but she somehow felt that the scene was not pleasing to the eye, turned her face away, and said perfunctorily: "I don't know much about gossip."
"I know. You don't care about anything else except making money, " Yuan Xinyi shrugged. "I'll leave Pei Haochuan to you! I got up early to get his information. I'm so sleepy. I have to go back first."
After watching Yuan Xinyi leave, Qian Mengmeng looked back at Pei Haochuan's villa. It was quiet there, with only the rustling sound of leaves in the wind.
"Could it be that Pei Haochuan really likes Mi Su? What if they start dating in the future? Do I have to keep it a secret? As a personal assistant to one person, keeping two secrets, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
If that time really comes, she will have to make it clear to Pei Haochuan. This will be a matter of another price.
