How embarrassing! She really wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
This outwardly cold but deeply passionate ice block really knew how to tease people.
Liu Duo cleared her throat to cover up her awkwardness. She didn’t answer his question and changed the topic. “Yang, I really want to bathe now, so go out. You guys also need to bathe later.”
“Okay.” Ye Yang didn’t continue to tease her. He brushed her hair to the back of her ears, touched her head, turned around, and left.
Liu Duo was slightly not used to him just leaving so easily. Shouldn’t he stay and act a bit mischievous to drag it on longer?
After all, Ye Yang wasn’t as thick-skinned as Ye Mo and Ye Liu. How could he really take advantage of her?
It was only after Liu Duo closed the door and the room got darker that Liu Duo regained her senses.
“Yang’s flirting techniques are on par with Mr. Liuzi’s!” The red-faced Liu Duo smiled and muttered as she took off her clothes.
After Dongfang Ming arrived back in town, he immediately went back to his room after he got off the horse carriage. While on his way, he saw Little Tian taking food to Wang Xiangyun’s room.
Dongfang Ming didn’t find it surprising that they hadn’t gone back to the capital. After all, Wang Xiangyun was very thick-skinned. Why would she really go back to the capital just because he pressed her pressure points and chased her away?
If she were really so easy to get rid of, she wouldn’t be here harassing and annoying him!
Little Tian put the food on the table and said, “My lady, come and have dinner.”
Wang Xiangyun was sitting by the window and spacing out when she heard her. She got up slowly and walked over.
She no longer showed the vitality she had before and she looked as though she had a heavy heart. Looking at her made Little Tian’s heart ache.
It wouldn’t be good to bring up going back to the capital now. After all, she had already said what she needed to say in the morning. Wang Xiangyun still had the last say on their final decision.
After the meal, Wang Xiangyun said expressionlessly to Little Tian, who was clearing the bowls and chopsticks, “Little Tian, go out with me later.”
“Oh, okay.” Little Tian nodded in reply.
She felt that her lady was a different person ever since she came back from Liu Duo’s house. She didn’t have any strength at all.
She sped up her pace and after she finished putting the bowls and chopsticks away properly, Little Tian went behind Xiangyun. She would go wherever her mistress went!
Wang Xiangyun arrived at the front of a clinic in town. She stopped at the door, looked inside, but didn’t step in.
When Little Tian saw this, she asked concernedly, “My lady, do you feel unwell somewhere?”
Why else would she come to a clinic?
Wang Xiangyun ignored Little Tian’s question. She looked at her and asked, “Little Tian, do you think I would succeed this time if I imitate what I did two years ago?
What she did two years ago?
When Little Tian heard her, she frowned and it was obvious she disapproved.
Dongfang Ming had fallen for it because he didn’t have his guard up against her back then. Although it had by no means succeeded, his attitude towards her lady ever since then was that of annoyance every time he saw her.
If she did it again now, it would definitely not succeed! Moreover, she felt that if she really did it again, Dongfang Ming definitely wouldn’t do as he did two years ago and pretend it never happened to cover it up on Wang Xiangyun’s behalf!
Otherwise, how would her lady be able to face others if her reputation was ruined?
When Little Tian thought of this, she grabbed her arm and advised her, “My lady, you must definitely not do that! Even if you succeed, and Mr. Dongfang marries you out of obligation, would he treat you well genuinely and sincerely? Moreover, he is no longer the Dongfang Ming from two years ago. My lady, do you think he would so easily…”
When she said this, she stopped. It was clear what she meant. Dongfang Ming was no longer that same person who didn’t have his guard up against her. How could he possibly fall for it and get drugged?
She really didn’t want Wang Xiangyun to do something stupid!
Wang Xiangyun, of course, knew what she meant. In response to Little Tian’s anxiousness towards her doing the same thing again, she just laughed faintly.
