"Across from your house is Jia Hua Villa."

Pei Shizhou said. Xu Shaoyang knew about that villa; he had visited it when he was looking for a house.

However, the villas there are quite expensive, costing several million each, and he didn't have enough money, so he settled for this smaller villa.

He believed that he would definitely be able to buy a villa here in the future, and then he would be Xia Yichu's neighbor.

"Okay, I'll drive you there."

It's closer to walk there from here; if you drive, you'll have to take a longer route.

"OK"

Xia Yichu didn't know why Xu Shaoyang's attitude had suddenly changed for the better, no longer seeming cold. It was good that he was like this; it made their interactions less awkward.

Xu Shaoyang drove, and the three of them barely spoke the rest of the way. They soon arrived at Jia Hua Villa. Xu Shaoyang parked the car, and everyone got out.

Xia Yichu took out her key and opened the door. Pei Shizhou and Xu Shaoyang carried her luggage inside. Once inside, Pei Shizhou put the things down and turned to ask Xu Shaoyang.

"Shaoyang, what would you like to drink?"

"Whatever, I'm fine with anything."

Pei Shizhou didn't say anything more. He went straight to the refrigerator and took out three bottles of soda. He gave one to Xu Shaoyang first, and then unscrewed the cap of one of the bottles before handing it to Xia Yichu.

Xu Shaoyang finished his soda in one gulp, then asked, "Yichu, aren't you scared living alone in such a big villa?"

"Who says she lives alone? I'll be staying here for a while too."

Now that Gu Yunting has returned, Pei Shizhou plans to stay in Hong Kong for at least a month.

"Aren't you going back to Kyoto? I mean, after you go back..."

"That's alright. If Xiao Chu is scared, I'll find a nanny to stay with her."

Pei Shizhou wanted to bring Xia Yichu back to Kyoto, but he didn't know if she was willing. He never wanted to be separated from Xia Yichu for a long time again.

Pei Shizhou has more money than he could ever spend in several lifetimes, so Xia Yichu doesn't need to work so hard. All of his assets can be transferred to Xia Yichu.

Of course, if she's bored and wants to do business, she doesn't necessarily have to do it in Hong Kong; she can do whatever business she wants in Kyoto.

"No, I'm not scared at all. I like living alone."

It's so much better to live alone, especially since she has secrets to hide; it's safer for her to live alone.

Xu Shaoyang was about to say something when the sound of a car came from outside. Pei Shizhou stood up and said, "I'll go out and see; it should be Song Qihang returning."

Pei Shizhou went out for a short while and then returned with Song Qihang, who was followed by three women.

"Miss Xia, these are the three nannies I found for you. You can keep whichever one you like. They are very efficient and experienced."

The three women didn't look very old, probably in their early thirties. Because of the time constraint, these were the only people Song Qihang could find.

Xia Yichu sized up the three women; they looked energetic and capable.

"Manager Song, thank you for your trouble. Let me talk to them first."

A housekeeper is indeed needed for cooking and cleaning at home, but Xia Yichu can't handle the cleaning of such a large villa.

"Okay, Miss Xia, please introduce yourselves."

Xia Yichu just wanted to find someone to cook and clean, like Xu Shaoyang. They could finish their work and leave immediately, so there would be no need for overtime in the evenings.

One of the women, with short, ear-length hair, spoke first: "Miss Xia, my name is Zhang Fang, and I'm thirty-five years old. I've been a nanny for five years now, and I'm an excellent cook and housekeeper."

Mr. Song said that all I need to do is take care of Miss Xia, cook her three meals a day, and clean her house. It's a small job with little work and a high salary.

Everyone was eager to come, and Mr. Song picked three of them. He said he brought them to Miss Xia to see, and if Miss Xia liked them, they could stay.

Another woman with a ponytail quickly added, "Miss Xia, my name is Xie Xiaozhen. I'm thirty-three years old. I can cook and have taken care of children. I'm very attentive to people."

The last woman, with wavy hair, wasn't to be outdone: "Miss Xia, my name is Wu Shumei, and I'm thirty years old. I'm skilled at tidying up and can guarantee to keep the house impeccably organized."

"You can't cook."

Xia Yichu frowned and asked Wu Shumei, who was the most well-dressed and beautiful of the three. Her hands looked fair and delicate, not at all like those of someone who did manual labor.

"Not really? But I can tidy up the room."

Wu Shumei used to work for wealthy families, where she was only responsible for clothes and tidying up the study; she basically didn't have to do any kitchen work.

Xia Yichu nodded and stopped looking at her. She turned to Zhang Fang and asked, "What are your requirements for the job?"

As for Xie Xiaozhen, Xia Yichu didn't like her very much. Of the three, Zhang Fang seemed to be the most pleasing to her eye.

Zhang Fang was delighted and quickly said, "I don't have any special requirements, as long as I have food and lodging."

"Is it alright if there's food but no lodging? I don't want anyone else at home. You just need to finish your work before 7 PM to leave. Of course, you can leave earlier if you finish earlier."

"Miss Xia, my home is a bit far from here, and I'm looking for a job that includes room and board. Don't worry, I promise I'll stay in my room at night and definitely won't bother you."

Zhang Fang repeatedly assured Xia Yichu that her home was far away, and if she didn't live here, she would have to take a bus to and from get off work, which would take two hours round trip, wasting both money and time.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaozhen immediately said, "Miss Xia, you can consider me. I don't need accommodation; I have a place to stay."

Xia Yichu hesitated. She really didn't want someone living in her house all the time, but Xie Xiaozhen's eyes darted around as soon as she entered. Xia Yichu wasn't satisfied with her first impression; she still preferred Zhang Fang.

Before she could speak, Xu Shaoyang suddenly said, "Yichu, if there's no suitable person, then forget it. You live alone and don't have much housework, and you don't live far from my house. I don't get up for breakfast in the morning, and sometimes I don't come home for dinner either."

Why don't we have Sister Wang come and do the work for you temporarily? We can find a nanny later, there's no rush.

Xu Shaoyang had his own ulterior motives for saying this: he could come over for dinner at Xia Yichu's place that evening. Another reason was that since Xia Yichu wasn't satisfied with them, rushing into a deal could lead to problems later.

Pei Shizhou nodded, "Shaoyang is right. If there's no suitable person, that's fine. I'll have Song Qihang look for someone else."

"Yes, Miss Xia, you can tell me what your requirements are for the nanny, and I'll have someone keep an eye out for her."

Xia Yichu thought about it and felt that what they said made sense, so she said to Song Qihang, "Okay, Manager Song, please take them home first. We'll talk about the nanny later."

"it is good"

"Qihang, give each of them one hundred, and thank you for making the trip," Pei Shizhou said.

"Yes, Mr. Pei."

Song Qihang immediately took out his wallet, counted out three hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to the three women. The three women took the money, thanked him profusely, and then followed Song Qihang away.

After seeing them off, Xia Yichu looked at Xu Shaoyang and asked, "I wonder if Sister Wang would be willing, or if it would be too tiring."

"It's alright, she won't be tired. After finishing her chores at my house, she even takes some crafts home to do. You know she has to raise children, so she's grateful to you for giving her an extra income to support her family. How could she possibly refuse?"

Xu Shaoyang was telling the truth; Sister Wang worked very hard to raise her two children.

"Shaoyang, you should ask Sister Wang again tomorrow."

"Okay, no problem."

At this moment, Pei Shizhou spoke up: "Xiao Chu, what specific requirements do you have for a nanny? Make a list for me, and I'll have Song Qihang find one according to those standards."

"It's not that exaggerated. As long as they are quick at work, can cook, and are pleasing to my eye, that's fine."

"If there's a suitable one, I'll have Song Qihang bring it over for you to see."

"OK"
