The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!-Chapter 76: Yang Qingxi’s Mood Ruined!

Soft morning light streamed through the tall glass windows, filtering through sheer curtains before spilling across the bedroom. The golden glow of dawn stretched over the polished wooden floor and climbed onto the wide silk bed at the centre of the room.

Yang Qingxi slept peacefully beneath a smooth silk blanket. Her silver-white hair spread across the pillow like strands of moonlight, faintly shimmering in the sunlight. For a while, the room remained silent except for the soft rustle of morning wind against the curtains.

Then her eyelashes trembled.

Slowly, Yang Qingxi opened her crimson eyes. After blinking a few times to adjust to the light, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Unlike most mornings, she seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.

Stretching lazily beneath the blanket, she raised her arms and arched slightly, letting out a quiet sigh of comfort. The thin silk nightgown she wore draped softly over her figure, briefly outlining her graceful silhouette in the morning light, though this quiet room had no one to admire it.

Satisfied, she sat up. The blanket slid to her waist as her long hair fell over her shoulders.

"Hmm~"

A soft melody escaped her lips as she stepped off the bed and walked toward the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water filled the room. Standing beneath the warm shower, Yang Qingxi hummed lightly while letting the water wash over her.

After a moment, a vague memory surfaced.

"... Su Mo seemed to have called me last night."

Something about a killer.

She tried to recall it, but her thoughts remained hazy. After a brief pause, she shrugged.

"Anyway, Su Mo must have dealt with it already."

Her mood quickly brightened again.

After showering, she changed into a light blue dress and stepped out of her bedroom, still humming softly.

The villa was already awake.

A few maids moved quietly through the halls, and the faint aroma of breakfast drifted from the dining area.

When Yang Qingxi arrived at the dining table, she found Su Mo already sitting there.

He was calmly eating breakfast.

Yang Qingxi raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Morning, Su Mo."

Her voice carried a relaxed tone as she walked toward the table.

"You are up early. Are you going somewhere?"

It wasn’t a random question. Normally, unless something important was happening, Su Mo wasn’t the type to wake up early.

Su Mo looked up from his meal and smiled casually. "Good morning, Miss Yang."

He wiped his mouth lightly with a napkin before continuing.

"I planned to check the new company and deal with the troubles left behind by Wang Cai."

"I see."

Yang Qingxi nodded as she took her seat.

"If you need anything, remember to contact Secretary Lin."

"I will."

Su Mo responded simply.

At that moment, the maids brought Yang Qingxi’s breakfast to the table. She picked up her chopsticks gracefully and began eating.

Meanwhile, Su Mo finished the food in his bowl.

He raised the bowl slightly and gestured to the maid standing beside him.

"Another serving."

The maid stepped forward to refill his bowl.

But her movement seemed a little stiff. The bowl clinked lightly as she poured the food; her posture looked somewhat awkward compared to the other experienced servants.

Yang Qingxi’s chopsticks paused mid-air.

Her brows knitted together slightly as she looked at the maid.

"Is she new here?"

She glanced at Su Mo.

"I don’t remember any new maid being recruited."

Su Mo answered casually without even looking up.

"Oh, she is my personal maid."

Yang Qingxi froze.

Her chopsticks stopped completely.

"Your personal... maid?"

She turned to stare at Su Mo with widened eyes.

Inside her mind, thoughts began spinning rapidly.

’What’s going on?’

’When did this happen?’

’Where did this maid come from?’

Startled and confused, Yang Qingxi immediately activated the Heart Listening function. Soon, his inner thoughts echoed clearly in her mind.

[Did Miss Yang not recognise Leng Shuang? Even if she had only seen her in disguise before, she should be able to judge from the spiritual aura on her. Or could it be her control over spiritual energy is so poor that she doesn’t know how to use it?]

Yang Qingxi’s face remained calm on the surface, but internally, she was both annoyed and embarrassed.

’This guy...’

But that wasn’t what caught her attention the most.

Her thoughts quickly locked onto another detail.

’Leng Shuang?’

Her pupils shrank slightly.

’Isn’t that the killer heroine from Ye Chen’s plot?’

A sudden realisation flashed through her mind.

’Wait... could the night killer he mentioned be her?’

Yang Qingxi stared at Su Mo in disbelief.

’What exactly is going on inside this guy’s head?’

He actually recruited the killer who came to attack them... and turned her into his subordinate?

It was simply unbelievable.

Across the table, Su Mo noticed the stunned look on Yang Qingxi’s face.

He tilted his head slightly.

[Huh? Did she recognise her now? Hmm, nice. That’s how it should be.]

A satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"You recognised her, right? Miss Yang?"

Yang Qingxi slowly nodded.

Her crimson eyes shifted toward the maid standing beside Su Mo.

The girl looked calm, but there was a faint vigilance in her gaze.

"Leng Shuang, right?"

Leng Shuang’s expression changed instantly.

Shock flashed in her eyes.

’She recognised me so quickly?’

Leng Shuang stared at Yang Qingxi, stunned.

’Does she also have powers like her master...?’

Meanwhile, Su Mo continued speaking casually. "Then it shouldn’t be a problem if she stays here as a maid while working for me, right?"

Yang Qingxi frowned slightly.

"I don’t care."

Her voice was calm, but her gaze lingered on Leng Shuang for a moment longer.

"But are you sure about this, Su Mo?"

She tapped her chopsticks lightly against her bowl.

"Although her strength is just that... if the benefits are enough, she might betray you."

Before Su Mo could respond, Leng Shuang suddenly spoke.

"I won’t!"

Her voice was firm and unwavering.

"Since I promised master, I belong to him for this life unless he throws me away." Her words came out without hesitation.

Yang Qingxi’s pretty eyes slowly narrowed. Her gaze turned sharp as she looked at Leng Shuang.

’This bitch...’

Her thoughts were cold.

’What exactly is she aiming for?’

For the rest of the breakfast, Yang Qingxi ate in silence without even looking at them.

"I’m done." A minute later, she stood up and left in a bad mood.

Su Mo looked at her unfinished breakfast in confusion.

[Is she on a diet? That’s not good for her current cultivation. Only after reaching the Golden Core Stage, one doesn’t require eating normal food.]

Yang Qingxi heard it and shot Su Mo one last glare before she left.

"Sigh, women are so moody." Su Mo sighed as he stood up.

"Let’s go, Leng Shuang."

"Coming right up, Master~"
