After their meal, Xia Ling volunteered to stay behind in the kitchen to help him clean up the mess. She primarily did not want to stay in the living room facing the leopard named Er Mao alone. Li Lei saw through her and said, "Don't create more trouble here. Go rest in the guest room, it's the second room on the left."

She obediently went into the guest room, as if he had just saved her life.

The guest room was neat and spacious, with a thick and soft carpet spread out over the floor. An oak wine fridge contained a variety of expensive wines.

Xia Ling pulled open the closet and saw many unwrapped outfits hanging in it. The tailoring was professional and made of specially selected materials, and the tags on the outfits indicated that they were all pieces from internationally renowned luxury brands. None of these could be purchased by a normal person. Scanning quickly across, she found that there were many different sizes and ranged comprehensively from pajamas to jackets, clearly with close consideration and preparation for different guests.

The only unfortunate thing was that they were all male outfits.

Xia Ling frowned as she found this odd. Boss Li was handsome, rich and a Casanova. His playboy tendencies could be seen in his attempts to flirt with her... How could someone like him not prepare female outfits in the guest room?

She suspected that she had entered the wrong room and turned back to look for Big Boss Li. She asked, "Boss, do you have a guest room with female outfits?"

Li Lei was in the midst of cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. Under the dim yellow lights, he looked dashing and his tan, strong fingers were glimmering under the lights in accordance with his movements being covered by the white foam bubbles from the dishwashing liquid. On hearing her question, he turned his head to look at her and laughed, "Female outfits? I completely forgot to prepare that. I usually don't invite female guests here. Wait a moment, I'll get someone to send some outfits over."

She hurriedly said, "No, it's fine. I can wear the male outfits as well." She was well aware of her current status — an insignificant trainee at the bottom of the company food chain — and the big boss had already graciously saved her and took her in. She was already enjoying free meals and lodging, she couldn't possibly ask for more.

However, Li Lei said, "Just wait."

A command that was not to be questioned.

He cleaned his hands on a white piece of cloth, took out his mobile phone and rang a number. "Su Tang, go buy some female outfits and bring them over. Yes, I'm in my place at Cheng Nan Apartments. It's for a 17-year-old girl, and she needs bathrobes, pajamas, jackets... everything. Size?" He gave Xia Ling a once over and told the lady on the other end of the line a string of numbers. They were an accurate estimation of her height, weight, and measurements.

Xia Ling was speechless. She had underestimated the extent of Big Boss Li's Casanova tendencies. There was no way he could so accurately estimate a girl's measurements simply by looking unless he had a wealth of experience doing so.

Not long later, the doorbell rang.

Without waiting for Li Lei to open the door, the person came in on her own accord. Clearly, she was someone that Li Lei trusted and had the house key.

Xia Ling looked over and saw a graceful, pretty girl with long hair that reached down to her waist, which looked like smooth seaweed shimmering under the warm light of the crystal chandelier. She was wearing a lilac, silk embroidered long dress with a tasseled scarf draped over her shoulders. She had a silver bracelet on her wrist and was carrying many luxurious-looking shopping bags, leaving a trail of fragrance behind her as she walked.
