After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him
Chapter 706 - 704: Could it be Exposed?

Chapter 706: Chapter 704: Could it be Exposed?

This was the first time he took an interest in a female maid in the house.

Perhaps there were too many self-proclaimed clever people around him, making this seemingly foolish woman particularly noticeable.

Pavel thought so, walking directly towards a group of servants.

Almost all the servants present lowered their heads almost in unison, standing aside to make way for Pavel.

What puzzled them, though, was that Pavel stopped right in front of them, with no intention of passing by at all.

"What’s your name?"

Suddenly, a voice came from above.

Lu Zhaozhao thought the question was meant for someone else, so she kept her head down.

As for the others, when they heard the voice, they subconsciously looked up at Pavel, only to see his gaze fixed on Lu Zhaozhao.

Thus, the person closest to Lu Zhaozhao nudged her with an elbow.

Startled by the poke, Lu Zhaozhao blankly looked up, only to meet Pavel’s inquisitive stare.

Almost immediately, she lowered her head again, her entire demeanor becoming a bit flustered.

Damn!

She couldn’t have been discovered, could she?

A brainstorm erupted in her head; Mr. Song had said that if she were ever found out, she should just deny everything staunchly.

If Pavel became suspicious, he might have her locked up, and then she could be rescued.

Thinking this, Lu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, looked up again, and seeing Pavel still staring at her, could only muster an especially rigid smile in response, "My, my name is Zhao."

"Ah, that’s a nice name. I’m entrusting the young miss to you from now on," Pavel said with a corner of his mouth curled into a kind smile.

Lu Zhaozhao instantly got goosebumps, "Understood."

She quickly lowered her head again.

Seeing her timidity, Pavel did not continue to press the issue.

Since she was already on his turf, what was the rush?

Pavel’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, "You’ve all been working hard recently. Starting this month, everyone’s salary will increase by 10%."

"Thank you, leader!"

"Thank you, leader!"

"Thank you, leader!"

...

Upon hearing about the pay raise, everyone forgot their fear, one by one excitedly looking up at Pavel, except Lu Zhaozhao, who maintained her lowered head.

However, hearing the commotion around her, she dared only to peek up quietly, then, like a rabbit emerging from its hole, she quickly withdrew her little head.

He hadn’t paid much attention to other women before, but seeing Lu Zhaozhao act this way intrigued him.

Wouldn’t it be fun to have someone so cute and adorable around him?

Pavel’s mouth curled up slightly as he turned and left.

Lu Zhaozhao had no idea Pavel had developed this disgusting interest in her; she was just relieved he hadn’t discovered her.

Once Pavel had left, she also quickly left to find Song Sinian...

By the time she got to the kitchen, she saw Song Sinian, who seemed to be on the phone.

She sat obediently at the side, waiting for him to finish his call before she approached and asked, "What happened? What’s going on?"

They were now in Country E, and the only ones who knew Song Sinian was fine and could still call him were Mr. Song, Zhao Xi, and Pei Huai.

She was worried that something had happened in the country, which was why someone had called Song Sinian.

Song Sinian lifted his hand to pinch her nose tip and said, "What are you worrying about? Do you not trust Pei Huai’s ability, or do you doubt grandfather’s acting skills?"

"..."

Ah, this...

She suddenly did not know how to respond to Song Sinian’s words.

Whether it was Pei Huai’s ability or Mr. Song’s acting skills, both seemed fine.

She blinked her puzzled eyes, causing Song Sinian to involuntarily curve his lips, "It was Pei Huai just now. He said that because of my disappearance, the Song Group has already turned into a tripartite stand-off internally."

"A tripartite stand-off?" Lu Zhaozhao’s confusion deepened. "Besides Xiao Mo and Feng Jiyue, who else wants the Song Group?"

Song Sinian shrugged, "Feng Xixi, I guess."

"..."

If she remembered correctly, that was the person from their household whom he had previously planted in the Song Group.

She even harbored such thoughts; it seemed neither Feng Jiyue nor Xiao Mo would settle down.

Lu Zhaozhao, on the contrary, was no longer worried.

After all, with Pei Huai in charge, there definitely wouldn’t be any issues.

"By the way, Mr. Song, when I was coming out just now, I saw Pavel. He actually stopped me to ask my name, I thought my cover was blown!" Lu Zhaozhao said this, still with a bit of lingering fear patting her chest.

Upon hearing this, Song Sinian instantly became alert, "You mean, he just spoke with you alone?"

Lu Zhaozhao nodded ceaselessly, "I came out from Zhenzhen’s room just now and happened to meet him in the corridor. He asked me how Zhenzhen was doing, and then he went to the servants and asked for my name, incidentally giving the servants a 10% pay rise."

"..."

Song Sinian instantly fell silent, faintly feeling that this matter was not that simple.

He had originally thought that Lu Zhaozhao, disguising as such a plain and unremarkable figure, would not attract the attention of others, but apparently, she was still noticed by Pavel.

Song Sinian’s gaze fell upon Lu Zhaozhao’s small face; those eyes as clear as spring water were indeed hard to ignore.

He felt a bit of a headache pressing his temples. It seemed he had to pay attention to whether Pavel had set his sights on Lu Zhaozhao or not.

If that was the case, he feared he might have to find a way to get Zhaozhao to leave the villa early.

Otherwise... he always felt that something bad was waiting for him.

Seeing Song Sinian not speaking, especially since his complexion had also worsened, Lu Zhaozhao became tense as well, "Mr. Song, I haven’t been exposed, have I?"

Song Sinian shook his head, "If you had been exposed, you would have already been taken away by Pavel’s men and locked up in a dark room."

"Is there a possibility that he’s playing the long game to catch a big fish?" Lu Zhaozhao asked, still not reassured.

The corners of Song Sinian’s brow twitched slightly. He had to admit that Pavel indeed had the potential of playing the long game to catch a big fish.

But if there were any fishing to be done, it would be for Lu Zhaozhao, the beautiful siren.

He pursed his lips, "Just to be on the safe side, try not to be alone with him, alright?"

"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Lu Zhaozhao nodded again and again. She did not want the plan to save Xu Zhenzhen to fail because of her own errors.

Song Sinian rubbed Lu Zhaozhao’s little head, "Shall we go back, then?"

"Mm," Lu Zhaozhao nodded again as if recalling something, then she asked, "So... as for the situation back home, do you still need to deal with it?"

She had just seen him finish a phone call and was a bit worried that he still had urgent matters to handle.

Song Sinian shook his head, "No need anymore. Those fools back home are all busy courting the Song Group’s shareholders, with no time for mischief. So there’s really no need to worry."
