After Jin Yebei heard her age, he carefully observed Ning Ruxing again. Everything that he knew about her so far matched up. As he stared at her face and pair of bright eyes, his vision slowly overlapped with the tender little face in his memory. Jin Yebei put down the resume in his hand and spoke in a voice that was not as cold as before.

“You have to know that being my assistant doesn’t only mean that you have to deal with documents and go on business trips with me. The most important thing is to take care of my pet.”

What? Pet? It was only then that Ning Ruxing saw a large transparent glass box on the office table. In it was a glittering golden python the size of a middle finger, lazily basking in the sun. Ning Ruxing found it very cute and smiled as she continued to look at the little snake in the box.

“Are you talking about taking care of this?”

Jin Yebei was expecting Ning Ruxing to be afraid, but instead, she was not only not bothered by the snake, but she was also eager to learn more about it. Was the golden python really so cute? Or did the girl think that golden pythons would not bite? Jin Yebei’s mouth twitched slightly before he said, “That’s right. Clean its feces, feed it, and wash its body with warm water once every half a month.”

Ning Ruxing nodded without hesitation. She didn’t know what kind of pet she was expecting to take care of. It turned out to be such a cute golden python. When Ning Ruxing agreed so readily, Jin Yebei’s eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. Those who had applied for this position before ran away when they saw the golden python. Jin Yebei asked with some uncertainty, “Aren’t you afraid?”

Ning Ruxing shook her head. What was there to be afraid of? The golden python’s scales glittered under the sun. Ning Ruxing leaned over a little more to touch the glass lightly with her fingers. The little python sensed her and gently moved towards her. This was really strange because the golden python would usually threaten to bite anyone it saw. Jin Yebei moved over next to Ning Ruxing and softly asked, “Why aren’t you afraid?”

Ning Ruxing’s ears reddened when she heard his voice so close to her. Ning Ruxing was not afraid of snakes because when she was young, she was saved by a snake when she had gotten lost in the forest. It had brought her to find food and drink spring water to sustain her. Now that Ning Ruxing thought about it, that was not a snake at all, but a giant python that she had met. Ning Ruxing said softly.

“Because snakes are very cute.”

Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing with a doubtful expression. Could it be that it was only because the snake was cute? Ning Ruxing stood up and looked at Jin Yebei who was deep in thought. She didn’t know if she would be hired so Ning Ruxing asked in a clear voice.

“May I know what other requirements I need to be your assistant?”

Hearing her voice, Jin Yebei came back to his senses and looked back at her. It seemed that the little girl didn’t remember what happened at that time and Jin Yebei didn’t want to remind her just yet. Even if he told her, the little girl probably wouldn’t believe him anyway. Hearing Ning Ruxing’s question, Jin Yebei frowned and said,”Wait for further notice.”

Hearing this, Ning Ruxing suddenly felt a little disappointed. If she had known this would happen, she would have followed the advise on the internet and asked him when she would start work instead. Now, she had to go back and wait. It was likely that she had lost the opportunity. Ning Ruxing took her belongings as Jin Yebei returned to his desk. She was not sure if she would be back so she mustered up the courage to ask, “Can you give me your business card?”

At this moment, Jin Yebei’s mind was filled with thoughts of whether he should acknowledge the little girl. If he did, would the little girl believe him? Or rather, would she be afraid of him? After all, this matter was a little unbelievable to humans. So even when Ning Ruxing asked, Jin Yebei didn’t even look up. As if he was dealing with his work, he indifferently said, “Take it yourself, it’s on the table.”

Ning Ruxing took the name card and walked out. Once she had left, Jin Yebei finally looked up. His eyes glowed as a smile appeared on his cold face. Regardless of whether this little girl remembered him or not, Jin Yebei had to get her. After all, there was nothing more exciting in this world than having his wife come to his door. If he did, he would have two wives!
