Xie Li drifted off to sleep in the quiet atmosphere without realizing it. What he didn't know was that after he fell asleep, Jiang Yuying propped herself up on the bed, turned halfway to look at Xie Li sleeping, pursed her lips, carefully observed his face, then lay back down. After a while, the steady sound of Jiang Yuying's breathing could be heard.

The next morning, when Xie Li woke up, he checked his phone and saw a message from Assistant Gao. He said that Xie Siqi's situation had been handled, Xie Siqi had been personally sent onto the plane by him, and there had been no contact with Xie Junhe or the people on that side.

Sure enough, Assistant Gao was reliable.

He casually deleted the message, yawned, and checked the time—it was already past ten local time. Because it was a vacation, there was no fixed waking time. He guessed that Xie Siyun might also be sleeping in, so he confidently freshened up and went downstairs.

In this two-story cottage, Xie Li's favorite place was the large living room on the first floor, where there was a fireplace, making it especially cozy. When he came downstairs, the fireplace was already lit, crackling with the sound of burning wood and emanating a scent of pine.

It was said that the housekeeper here intentionally purchased the wood. Although Xie Li didn't understand much, it smelled really good.

Jiang Yuying was sitting nearby by the fireplace, legs covered with a thin blanket, reading a book. On the side table, there was a cup of steaming hot coffee.

Xie Li knew that it was the super strong bitter coffee that Jiang Yuying particularly liked... Anyway, he couldn't drink it. Fortunately, the original body's taste was similar to his, so if it was too different, he wouldn't know how to pretend.

Was it to endure the discomfort of his stomach or take the risk of exposure?

Xie Li was a foodie, and temporary discomfort could be tolerated, but enduring it for a lifetime... Well, sorry, just expose it directly. Fortunately, there was no such multiple-choice question.

He sat down at the chair on the other side of the low table, and the hired servant soon brought him a coffee that matched Xie Li's taste, with milk and sugar, not bitter. The one who brought the coffee was a pretty blonde, it was really not easy to find Asians around here, there were not many Chinese people in this area. Those who could afford to come here generally weren't lacking money and wouldn't work as servants.

So apart from the housekeeper and some important positions, most of the employees were locals. But Xie Li was quite surprised to suddenly see such a young and beautiful maid. Even Jiang Yuying, who was reading nearby, looked at her with a puzzled gaze, her eyes falling on the maid, scrutinizing.

She had a head of golden wavy curls, fair and beautiful skin, and her tight sweater perfectly outlined her upper body curves. After setting down the coffee, she didn't leave immediately but stayed in place, as if waiting for instructions. Jiang Yuying couldn't hold back and directly spoke up: "We don't need you here, you can leave."

However, the maid looked puzzled, as if she didn't understand what Jiang Yuying was saying.

Jiang Yuying took a breath and switched to English, repeating herself. It seemed as if the maid reacted only then, looking a bit reluctant, glancing at Xie Li with some reluctance, then walked out of the living room slowly.

Xie Li couldn't help it either. As soon as the maid left, he immediately called in the housekeeper. He frowned and told the housekeeper what had just happened. At first, the housekeeper was a bit puzzled, but only after seeing Jiang Yuying's disapproving gaze did he realize.

He promised, "I will dismiss her immediately."

After the housekeeper left, Jiang Yuying was the first to suggest to Xie Li, "Let's dismiss the housekeeper too."

Xie Li naturally had no objection. He also felt that the housekeeper should be dismissed.

This incident was just a small episode during their vacation. The next morning, the housekeeper from the Xie family's old mansion came directly by plane, took over all the affairs of the vacation villa, found a suitable new housekeeper before Xie Li and the others ended their vacation, and promised that such incidents would not happen again in the future.

Of course, these things had nothing to do with Xie Li and the others. What mattered more was their own vacation.
