Nan Zhi glanced at the maid standing by the door with a cup of coffee.

She was gentle and young, her figure was graceful while her actions were soft and delicate. Her facial features were pretty and charming as well.

A glance at her was enough to know that she was a soft and gentle girl, the type that men loved.

Nan Zhi watched as Qiao Yanze walked to the door, taking the cup of coffee from the maid before he slowly took a sip. He immediately furrowed his eyebrows. “It’s too hot.”

The maid seemed a little panicked. “Young Master, it won’t be hot if you blow at it.”

Qiao Yanze held the cup of coffee in front of the maid, raising an eyebrow. “Help me blow on it.”

The maid immediately flushed, looking down as she pursed her lips tightly, unwilling to help Qiao Yanze blow at his coffee.

Nan Zhi was standing behind Qiao Yanze, so she was unable to see his expression right now, though she could see the corners of his lips curl up slightly.

Her uncle seemed to really like this maid!

“You don’t know how to blow at it? If you don’t, then you can go make a cup of coffee that is not too hot for me.”

Qiao Yanze seemed to be enjoying teasing the maid, asking her to remake the cup of coffee at least ten times before he waved his hand in satisfaction.

By that point, the maid was panting slightly, her forehead drenched in sweat.

Seeing Qiao Yanze’s teasing eyes, she glared at him unhappily before she ran downstairs.

Seeing the two’s interaction, Nan Zhi shook her head, speechless.

That small woman att.i.tude that the maid had was something that she will never be able to learn.

Qiao Yanze had always been a playboy, changing his women as often as he changed his clothes. She would have never thought that he would fall for such a soft and gentle woman.

After the maid left, Qiao Yanze brought Nan Zhi to the viewing balcony.

Watching the maid run into the garden to trim the plants with the gardener, Qiao Yanze leaned against the railing as he said with interest, “She’s called Xiao Ying. She’s a daughter of an excessive gambler. Her father sold her to a bar because he needed the money. Don’t think that she’s soft and weak because of her appearance, she’s actually a very strong girl. That night, she came into our private room to bring us some alcohol. She caught the attention of some of the young masters, who then asked her to strip dance. She smashed the alcohol bottles and pressed a sharp gla.s.s shard against her neck, saying that if anyone dared to touch her, she would cut her throat and commit suicide immediately!

“Those boys are all afraid of nothing, all calling for her to cut her throat since they all like to watch fresh flowing blood. They all thought that she was merely scaring them, but she really started to cut her throat.

“Such a soft and pet.i.te girl, it’s hard to believe her personality is so strong.” Qiao Yanze smiled devilishly, looking at Nan Zhi with his pretty eyes. “It made me remember the time when I met you, our Zhizhi is also one of strong character.”

Qiao Yanze’s lips curled up, his eyes landing on Xiao Ying once more. “I made a bet with those boys that I would teach this maid within a month and make her submit to me completely!”

Nan Zhi’s almond-shaped eyes were smiling faintly. “I don’t think you’re teaching her. She’s the one that is influencing you subconsciously.”

She could feel that Qiao Yanze’s gaze on Xiao Ying was different.

“Uncle, too many things have happened recently. Have you investigated clearly about Xiao Ying’s ident.i.ty and past?”

Qiao Yanze patted Nan Zhi’s head once, unable to stop himself from laughing at the sight of her being so cautious. “I did, of course. She’s just a gambler’s daughter and suffered quite a bit since young. There’s nothing to be worried about!”

Nan Zhi hummed in agreement.

Before they left the viewing balcony, her well-defined eyes could not help but glance at Xiao Ying once more.

If she suffered quite a bit since young, why were her fingers still as smooth and delicate as green onions?

However, it might be because she had been tricked too many times that she was merely thinking too much.

Her uncle had seen many people, and could see through many things better than her.
