Chapter 60 - Sleepwalk

The next morning, Lina woke up refreshed after a good night's sleep. The sun's rays were directly falling on her face, so she moved her hand to cover her eyes and wanted to get up.

'Huh?'

When she tried to sit up, she felt that her body was too heavy and she couldn't move.

It felt like there was something weighing down on her, so she slowly lifted the comforter and looked down.

'My hands are right here, so who's hand is this?' Lina panicked when she saw an arm that was resting on her stomach.

Looking lower, she even saw a naked leg draped onto her feet which was making her unable to get up.

'I remember falling asleep inside my room, so how can there be another person here. Did I sleepwalk and sleep in someone else's room?' She tried to analyze the situation in a calm way, but her rigid and tensed body betrayed her.

'Is this one of those 'I slept with a stranger' scenes from the novels?' This thought sent her brain into overdrive and she struggled to break free from the arm that was holding onto her.

Just as she was about to escape, the hand pulled her close and snuggled into her.

"Nana, stop struggling. I'm trying to sleep here." She heard a voice complaining next to her ear.

Lina instantly froze when she heard the voice.

'That voice sounds familiar!' 

Slowly Lina turned inch by inch and came face to face with the intruder who had the audacity to climb into her bed.

"Stacy?" She said questioningly and moved the brown hair from the other person's face.

As she moved the hair away, Lina saw a tiny face which was now snuggling into her big breasts. The cutesy bangs, tiny button nose and the piercings on her ears were all things that she was familiar with.

"Nana you smell like a pina colada." The sleeping girl stuck her tongue out and licked Lina's exposed skin.

Feeling a wet sensation on the top of her right breast, all the hair on Lina's body stood up and she hurriedly pushed her away 

"Ouch!" 

With the force that Lina had used, the girl rolled right off the bed and onto the carpeted floor.

Lina crawled over to the other side and peeped to see if she was alright.

"Still as powerful as always, my dear cousin." The woman on the floor smirked at her and reached out her hand. Lina accepted it as she pulled her up onto the bed once again.

Lina could clearly see who it was now. Her hair which was cut to her shoulders was now a mess and she tried to sort them out by running her fingers through them.

"What the hell are you doing here, Stace? When did you enter my room?" Lina asked as she sat with her legs folded.

Sitting in front of her was Stacy Tang, Wade and Wayne's maternal cousin. Though they shifted abroad about the same time as Lina's family, the two girls still kept in touch.

Stacy would stay with Lina when she came to vacation in America and Lina would do the same when she went to Europe.

"The door was unlocked and I saw that you were already asleep, so I just got in bed with you. I must admit, you make a great body pillow." Stacy said while lewdly checking her out.

"Stop it, you perv!" Lina covered herself with the comforter and they both burst into laughter. This behaviour of Stacy's was nothing new for Lina.

After laughing for a while, Stacy explained about how she had entered Yang Manor.

Her flight had landed somewhere around 2 in the morning and she hadn't informed her cousins because she wanted to surprise them. 

But she was the one who got surprised when she went to the Luo Residence and the butler told her that none of them were at home.

Not wanting to spend her time alone over there, she asked the butler to call Butler Ping and inform him of her arrival.

After getting the ok signal from him, she immediately reached Yang Manor and tiptoed to Lina's room. Lina had already informed her of her decision to move back into the country and thus Stacy knew that she would find her here.

When she reached Lina's door, she was prepared to use her special skills to break into her room but found that the door was already unlocked.

She slowly crept to her bed and found that Lina's face was all red.

Worried that she might have a fever, Stacy used her palm to check her temperature but the ungrateful Lina swatted her hand away.

Lina then mumbled 'marshmallows!' in her sleep which made Stacy laugh out.

Relieved that she was not sick, Stacy changed into her sleepwear and got inside the comforter along with Lina and snuggled close to her.

-----

After knowing what had happened, Lina nodded her head and then went to the bathroom.

When she came out after a few minutes, she saw Suzie standing in the room and glaring at Stacy.

Because her back was facing the bathroom, Suzie did not see Lina standing there

"Where is my Young Miss and what have you done to her?" She questioned her and Stacy just chuckled.

"I kidnapped her, if you want to see her alive you'll have to pay a huge amount. Or else..!" She dragged a thumb across her neck in a slicing motion and then Stacy laughed just like a villain in the movies.

'This girl! She's scaring poor Suzie.' Lina shook her head and took a step towards them.

"Butler Ping…. Mrs. Ping…!!" Before Lina could take another step, Suzie yelled and ran out of the room.

Stacy, who had already noticed Lina standing there, turned to her and chuckled.

Lina quickly walked up to her and flicked her on the forehead.

"What was that for?" Stacy pouted and rubbed her forehead.

"You scared her! Let's go down before this escalates." Lina put on a robe and tossed another to Stacy.

When they reached the Main Hall, they saw Suzie explaining everything that had happened to Mrs. Ping and she rubbed her back to calm her down.

"I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding, drink some water." Mrs. Ping handed a glass over to her.

"No, I saw it with my own eyes. The only person in the room was that kidnapper. Young Miss wasn't there!" Suzie shook her head vigorously.

"How about you ask her where she was?" Mrs Ping turned Suzie towards the two ladies on the stairs.

"I'm sure this was another of Miss Tang's works?" She asked with a sweet smile but that was enough for the two girls to feel a shiver down their spine.

Stacy rushed to her and gave her a hug. Then turned to Suzie and held her hands.

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to pull your legs. I did not mean for you to be this worried." She said and looked down.

Seeing her Young Miss safe, Suzie took a deep breath and nodded to Stacy.

"I'm sorry if I was rude earlier. Please forgive me, Miss." Suzie also apologized and received a nod from her.

"Now that all this has been sorted, let's eat!" The hungry Lina dragged Stacy to the dining table.

They had a fun breakfast and Stacy told her the reason why she was here.

Stacy's dad was an Oil Mogul in Europe and Stacy managed his branches abroad which meant that she was constantly moving around. This time she had come here to check on their Eastern division.

Lina was happy to see her again and told her about her plans for shopping. Stacy was also a spendthrift like Lina and she readily agreed to accompany her.

Then the girls went back to her room to change into something nice. They were catching up while deciding what to wear and had lost track of time. 

Lina wore dark grey distressed jeans with a white V necked top and put on an oversized black coat that reached her calves. She put on black Chelsea boots which were super comfortable and wore a black fuzzy sling purse with a golden chain.

If Lina was the beauty in black, Stacy was the exact opposite.

Stacy wore an overlap neck grey striped romper with pink flowers on it. The dress reached her thighs and showed off a considerable amount of her skin. She wore steel bluish grey block heels to complete her look and a silver hand purse.

They stood before the mirror and admired themselves before they left the room.

"Still covering up the goodies, huh Nana?" Stacy said and looked at Lina's chest while they were walking down the stairs.

Seeing her line of sight, Lina pulled the coat and secured them tightly. This action made Stacy laugh and shake her head, making a 'Tsk tsk' sound.

In response, Lina just made a 'hmph' sound as she took another step forward.
