Chapter 26: The Little Maid Was Moved, and Shen Anyu Took Action Again!
"Master, you're such a good person!"
Ruan Lingshan cried for a while, her tears soaking his shirt, before she reacted to her own boldness. She gently broke free from Shen Anyu's embrace, her cheeks flaming. She looked at him shyly with timid, beautiful eyes, like a fawn caught in headlights.
Shen Anyu was extremely satisfied with such a soft, cute, and adorable little maid. She was the perfect archetype of innocence.
Especially when he heard that shy, sweet voice, leaping from her pink lips, calling him "Master."
He felt a thrill travel from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, electric and addictive, so much so that his scalp tingled. It was a power trip wrapped in sugar.
Such a soft, cute, childlike, petite little maid, with timid, beautiful eyes looking at you with absolute trust, calling you "Master" in a sweet, shy voice...
Who could resist that?
If Shen Anyu hadn't been a battle-hardened warrior, experienced with the likes of Su Hongmian and Qin Ningbing, he probably would have had an unmanly nosebleed right there.
It wasn't that Shen Anyu was unmanly, it was just that this maid was too exceptional!
Do you know Rem from that anime? A 3D, living, breathing Rem had appeared by his side! And she was all his.
Shen Anyu took several deep breaths before calming down his surging blood. He smiled, playing the part of the benevolent lord perfectly.
"I'm a good person?"
Ruan Lingshan looked at Shen Anyu with grateful, beautiful eyes, nodding without hesitation. Her conviction was absolute.
"Yes, Master, you are so good. Lingshan will follow you forever to repay you! Whatever you ask, I will do."
Repay?
Shen Anyu's smile became slightly strange, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.
At this moment, he also felt that he was a good person, truly. From a certain perspective.
Lin Keqing had now become the head of the Modu Lin Family, the helmswoman of the Lin Family Group. In the past, the Lin Family members had been sarcastic and dissatisfied with her, mocking her as a widowed jinx. But now? They were flattering and complimenting Lin Keqing, treating her like a star surrounded by the moon at home. He gave her dignity.
Su Hongmian originally suffered from an incurable illness, a congenital condition that meant she wouldn't live long. But now she had been cured by Shen Anyu, saving her life and giving her a future. He gave her health.
Qin Ningbing was about to be forced out by the treacherous Wang Hai. But as soon as Shen Anyu made a move, Wang Hai and his cronies fell. The Ginseng Nourishing Heart Pill was successfully developed, and she became a highly anticipated hundred-billion-yuan female CEO. He gave her power.
And Ruan Lingshan... even if she worked as a nurse at Shanghai First People's Hospital for a hundred years, she would not have been able to afford the five million yuan cost of treating her mother's uremia. Shen Anyu paid directly, no questions asked. He gave her hope.
If Shen Anyu wasn't a good person, then who was?
If Shen Anyu wasn't given the title of "Good Person of the Year" in Yanxia, it would simply be against the natural order!
Shen Anyu pondered if the [Destiny Plunder System] was wrong and should instead be renamed the [Destined Good Person System].
Was he really a Destined Villain?
Ye Yan (The Protagonist): ?
Xia Liu (The Divine Doctor): ??
They might disagree, but history is written by the victors.
"Master... do you not like Lingshan's maid outfit?"
Just then, Ruan Lingshan's sweet, shy voice suddenly rang out, interrupting his philosophical musings. She fidgeted with the hem of her short skirt.
Shen Anyu looked down and saw the pretty maid blinking her clear black and white eyes. She was holding her small fists to her chest, looking at him nervously and expectantly, seeking validation.
Shen Anyu almost bled from the cuteness. He said without hesitation:
"Like it? Is that even a question? I love it."
"It's good as long as Master likes it."
When Ruan Lingshan heard this, her clear black and white eyes curved into crescent moons. She reached out to hook Shen Anyu's arm, overjoyed, pressing her softness against him unconsciously.
Shen Anyu felt a little jealous of his own arm. He looked at Ruan Lingshan with a smile, asking curiously:
"Lingshan, what made you think of wearing a maid outfit? It's not exactly... standard uniform."
Ruan Lingshan's face immediately turned red upon hearing this. She lowered her head, whispering shyly:
"Housekeeper He Ying said that Master wanted to hire a personal maid."
"And... she gave me this outfit. She said it was your preference."
At this point, Ruan Lingshan was too shy to continue speaking.
Her small face was flushed red, and even her fair, delicate earlobes were a blushing crimson.
Shen Anyu laughed internally. He decided that He Ying's year-end bonus would be doubled again! No, tripled!
What a talent! She knew exactly what he wanted before he even asked.
"Master, are you hungry? Does Lingshan need to cook for you?"
Just then, Ruan Lingshan looked at Shen Anyu with concerned, watery eyes and asked, eager to prove her worth.
Shen Anyu shook his head.
"No, I've already eaten. What about you?"
"Master, Lingshan has also eaten and isn't hungry."
Shen Anyu thought for a moment. Since there was nothing to do now, and the iron was hot, he might as well go to the hospital to see Ruan Lingshan's mother. It was the perfect opportunity to solidify her loyalty and gain some goodwill points.
"Lingshan, get changed. Let's go to the hospital to see your mother. I know some medical skills, and perhaps I can cure your mother."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lingshan immediately became excited and overjoyed, bouncing around like a bunny.
"Really?! Thank you, Master!"
Shen Anyu, however, only wanted to recite poetry. What was that about mountains and rivers?
Forget the poetry, let's go.
Shen Anyu laughed up to the sky and took the pretty maid to the hospital.
[Location: Shanghai First People's Hospital – Main Entrance]
The sun was high in the sky, casting long shadows in front of the Critical Care Building at Shanghai First People's Hospital.
At this moment, a pair of handsome man and beautiful woman stepped forward, drawing eyes from everyone around.
The man was tall and handsome, wearing a stylish black trench coat that fluttered in the wind. His eyes were sharp like lightning, and a faint, confident smile played on his lips. He walked with the aura of a king.
The woman was petite and delicate, wearing a pink and white dress that made her look soft and adorable. She walked a step behind him, looking at him with adoration.
These two were naturally Shen Anyu and the pretty maid Ruan Lingshan.
However, at this time, Ruan Lingshan was no longer wearing that maid outfit with very little black and white fabric. She had changed into a conservative pink and white Prada long dress that He Ying had prepared.
That scene of exquisite beauty back at the mansion was only seen by Shen Anyu, the sole man privileged to view it. He wasn't about to share.
When Shen Anyu and Ruan Lingshan walked over, the surrounding nurses who were on their break were stunned. Whispers broke out like wildfire.
"Isn't that Ruan Lingshan? I heard she made a mistake yesterday and was fired by Dean Liu. Why is she back at the hospital now?"
"Hmph, Lingshan didn't make any big mistake. She just accidentally spilled a bottle of medicine worth a few dozen yuan. To fire her for that is really too much! Poor girl."
"Wait... pay attention to the main point, sisters! Who is the handsome guy next to Ruan Lingshan? Oh my goodness, he's too handsome! He's so handsome it's against nature! The Korean idol Song Zhilong I've been following recently isn't even one percent as handsome as him!"
"Yes, he's so handsome. If only he could be my boyfriend, I guarantee I'd keep him in bed for a week!"
"Xiaoxia, put on some pants, you're drooling."
"Hehe, is that Lingshan's boyfriend? He's really handsome, Lingshan is so lucky! How did she land him?"
"..."
Just then, a sharp-eyed nurse pointed at the pink and white dress Ruan Lingshan was wearing and gasped in shock:
"Huh? Wait... isn't that Prada's latest season long dress? It costs over a hundred thousand yuan! Lingshan's family is poor, and her mother has uremia... how can she afford such clothes?"
"It doesn't look like a fake either? The fabric... it flows like water."
The nurses started chattering excitedly when they heard this, jealousy and curiosity mixing in the air.
However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.
Just then, the automatic doors of the Critical Care Building slid open. A group of people poured out in a hurry, looking anxious.
Among them were Dean Liu Shiming of Shanghai First People's Hospital, and the directors and chief experts from various departments. The heavyweights of the medical world.
But at this moment, these important figures—who usually walked with their noses in the air—were all beaming with flattering smiles. They rushed towards the handsome young man in black, bowing and scraping like servants meeting their master.
Seeing this scene, the nurses were dumbfounded. Their jaws dropped.
Shanghai First People's Hospital is one of the top hospitals in Yanxia. Dean Liu Shiming holds such a high status that even billionaires, celebrities, and stars would beg Dean Liu for a consultation, not the other way around.
And when Dean Liu uttered the words "Young Master Shen" with trembling reverence, all the nurses understood.
It turned out that this handsome young man in black was the widely rumored Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family! A top noble from a thousand-year-old family, whose status was as high as the heavens.
"Young Master Shen... that's Young Master Shen?!"
"He truly lives up to the legend of being peerlessly handsome. He's too handsome!"
Many young nurses' eyes were practically sparkling with hearts.
With the added bonus of his status, he seemed even more charming. Power was the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Some nurses even wanted to take out their phones to snap photos for their social media.
However, at this moment, they were stopped by a group of black-clad bodyguards who appeared from nowhere. They politely but firmly prevented them from taking pictures, blocking the angles.
"No photos, please."
They could only regretfully give up, staring instead.
One nurse said sourly, crossing her arms:
"How is Lingshan standing with Young Master Shen? Could it be... that Young Master Shen has taken a liking to her?"
As soon as these words came out, the other young nurses' eyes turned red with envy and jealousy.
Yesterday, they were still sympathizing with and pitying Ruan Lingshan, who had been fired and was destitute. But now, seeing her beside the Prince of Yanxia, wearing Prada, each of them was inwardly seething with envy. Fate was unfair!
Ruan Lingshan also heard these chattering remarks. She didn't care about their jealousy. Her beautiful eyes looked at Shen Anyu in front of her, at his broad back that shielded her from the world, and for a moment, she was lost in thought...
'He is my hero.'
