Working as a Simp

Part 4

Xu Xing Fan seemed to see me as her love rival.

Well, that's understandable. In the eyes of others, I was always Jiang An's simp.

Who could have guessed we were just in a pure monetary relationship?

I was about to explain when Jiang An appeared.

"Sister Xing Fan, long time no see," Jiang An smiled at her, "What were you talking about with my girlfriend?"

Xu Xing Fan's eyes scanned me, then Jiang An, and then me again.

"Jiang An, are you saying Miss Lin here is your girlfriend?"

Jiang An raised an eyebrow, "Any problems? If she wasn't my girlfriend, why would I bring her home?"

What? Wasn't I here for a team-building with the maids?

Xu Xing Fan gracefully congratulated him, then found an excuse to leave.

I lowered my voice and asked, "Boss, this isn't what we agreed on!"

Jiang An also spoke quietly, "From today, you have a new job."

"What?"

"My mom wants to find me a marriage partner, you need to pretend to be my girlfriend."

I was stunned for a moment before asking, "So this... counts as overtime, right?"

Jiang An gritted his teeth in exasperation, "Your salary will increase by 30% per month."

"Okay, dear boyfriend." I cheerfully linked my arm with his, "Where do we need to go for our act?"

After that day, the news "Lin Wan Yue successfully climbed up" spread throughout the entire school.

Everyone knew I had become Jiang An's girlfriend.

One morning, as I was getting up at six again to make breakfast, Jiang An stopped me.

"Stop it, I've been called a scumbag for days."

I was puzzled, "Why are they calling you a scumbag?"

Jiang An looked serious, "Because I make my girlfriend get up at six to make me breakfast."

So, in order to shake off the reputation of being a scumbag, my boss not only relieved me of my breakfast duties but even insisted on waking up early to buy me breakfast personally.

I ate it with trembling fear.

Everyone congratulated me, saying that my persistence had finally paid off.

Only Lu Xue sneered and said, "You don't really think you're Jiang An's girlfriend, do you? He's just playing with you."

So what if he's just playing with me?

For a 30% salary increase, he could even play with my head as a soccer ball.

Lu Xue didn't get anything out of me and left angrily, saying, "Just wait and see."

That evening, I found out what Lu Xue meant by "wait and see."

They arranged another club dinner and specifically asked Jiang An to bring me along.

A few guys sarcastically remarked, "Lin Wan Yue used to be like a dog circling around Jiang An. Now she suddenly became human, it's really a bit hard to get used to."

Of course, I wasn't one to take things lying down. I smiled and replied, "Really? That's normal. Actually, I'm not used to seeing you guys either. After all, where I come from, we generally don't let pigs sit at the table."

The atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Lu Xue tried to smooth things over, suggesting everyone start eating.

Then she began enthusiastically serving Jiang An food.

But Jiang An had this quirk—he never ate food served by others...

So, with tears in my eyes, I ate it for him.

Mmm, delicious.

After a while, they suggested playing Truth or Dare again.

Jiang An unfortunately drew "Truth" once more.

Lu Xue eagerly asked again, "Jiang An, are you serious about Lin Wan Yue? Or are you just playing with her?"

Jiang An leaned back in his chair, looking displeased, "Are you out of your mind to ask such a question?"

Lu Xue's face turned red, but she still gritted her teeth and asked, "Last month, right here, you said you only saw Lin Wan Yue as a maid. Have you suddenly fallen for her now?"

"So what if she's a maid? Can't I like a maid?"

Another guy chimed in, "Then tell us, what do you like about Lin Wan Yue."

Jiang An stared at me for a while, "She's beautiful, has a good temperament, smart, cooks well... Is that enough? Want me to list more?"

My face uncontrollably turned red.

W-why did he suddenly praise me like that?

It's weirdly embarrassing.
