More than two thousand books?
Lin Yixun stared at the books on the floor, feeling a weight on her head. With so many books, organizing them would take forever.
But did she have any choice other than to comply?
Resigned to her fate, Lin Yixun squatted down and started to tackle the mountain of books in front of her. She thought if she was lucky, she might finish sorting the books before nightfall, but she ended up overestimating herself.
Time ticked by, and by the time it was dark outside, she had only managed to organize the bottom three shelves. She looked up to see that the top four shelves were still empty.
Lin Yixun pounded her waist hard; it was sore and weak, almost not feeling like her own. At that moment, her stomach also started to growl, reminding her that she had been so busy all day that she forgot to eat dinner.
Just at that moment, Ouyang Hao appeared in the study, proudly strutting in flip-flops. He leaned lazily against the door, his alluring eyes observing the busy Lin Yixun with interest.
"Not done yet? You’re so slow. How can you call yourself a housekeeper at this pace?" The man’s voice was pleasant to the ear but full of mockery.
Lin Yixun paused for a moment. For some reason, an unnamed rage rose in her heart even though her temper had been worn down over the years.
She quietly continued to squat, arranging the books in front of her by their numbers, then slowly stood up and climbed a nearby ladder to place the books on the fourth shelf. After that, she returned to the pile of books and carried on with her task, ignoring his presence.
Lin Yixun’s indifferent reaction displeased Ouyang Hao. Who was he? Everywhere he went, he was the center of attention. When had he ever been ignored ?
Ouyang Hao walked up to Lin Yixun and maliciously kicked her calf.
Finally, the girl raised her head from the pile of books, looked at him blankly, and said calmly, "Mr. Ouyang, what are your orders?"
This reminded him. A glint flashed in Ouyang Hao’s eyes as he said to Lin Yixun, "If you haven’t finished organizing these books by tomorrow morning, pack your bags and get out. Got it?"
Since she ignored him, he naturally had to teach her a lesson and leave a deep impression!
From start to finish, Lin Yixun’s expression remained calm. She had guessed this outcome the moment she stepped into the study. She knew Ouyang Hao did not like her.
Seeing Lin Yixun as indifferent as a piece of wood, Ouyang Hao felt bored and left her to go to sleep.
If this blockhead liked to foolishly organize books in the study, then so be it. It would be best if she couldn’t endure it and left on her own!
The next morning, when Ouyang Hao passed by the study, he glanced inside and saw that the bookshelves were neatly filled with books. His gaze shifted, and he saw Lin Yixun on the floor beside the desk.
She was leaning quietly against the desk, seemingly asleep.
Ouyang Hao raised an eyebrow. This woman’s sleeping posture was really unsightly, with her brows tightly furrowed like an old hag. Luckily, her face was still passable, if not for the scar on her right cheek.
Ouyang Hao walked forward slowly and kicked Lin Yixun’s calf. Lin Yixun, being a light sleeper, woke up quickly from the kick.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a face so handsome it could enchant anyone. The man arrogantly said, "Go and make me something to eat."
