"Dugu Xingfeng, you're looking for me?" Yao Xiaoyan asked in a low voice. She didn't know why, but every time she saw Dugu Ling, she would feel nervous and a tinge of fear. Perhaps Dugu Ling had always been a stranger that he was not allowed to get close to.
"Come in!" Dugu Ling said in a low voice as he retreated to give Yao Xiaoyan a way out.
Yao Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before stepping into Dugu Ling's room.
The room was a presidential suite and was very luxurious. After Yao Xiaoyan entered, she took a glance around but did not see Hu Zi. She must have gone out already.
Yao Xiaoyan was standing in the living room when she heard the door behind her close with a 'kacha' sound. Her heart also started beating heavily.
"Emperor Dugu, you're looking for me …" What's the matter? " Perhaps it was due to the stifling atmosphere, Yao Xiaoyan asked again.
Dugu Ling glanced at Yao Xiaoyan's bra and dress before her gaze finally fell on the water diamond high heels at his feet. Her ankles were still bruised and he still walked unsteadily. He frowned slightly and said with a deep voice, "Take off your shoes."
Yao Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment. Looking at the spotless carpet in the suite, she quickly retreated to the door, took off her shoes and stood in front of Dugu Ling barefooted.
"This is medicine oil, apply it yourself. Don't delay tomorrow's shoot." Dugu Ling forced himself not to look at Yao Xiaoyan's jade white feet as he casually tossed the medicinal oil on the tea table to his.
"Oil?" Yao Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment. Dugu Ling had called her over just to get her to apply the ointment?
Without waiting for Yao Xiaoyan to speak, Dugu Ling turned around and walked into the room. He then left his with the last sentence, "After using this ointment, you can't walk for an hour!"
Can't walk for an hour!
Yao Xiaoyan looked at the time. It was already ten in the evening. How could she return after smearing the medicinal oil on the wall?
Yao Xiao Yan stood there and was about to say something to Dugu Ling. She went back to her room to clean it, but Dugu Ling's door closed behind his.
Yao Xiaoyan stood there in a daze. She didn't know whether to leave or not. Just when she was conflicted, she saw a message on her phone from the director. He asked her if she could go to the music studio and if the Director was still waiting for her.
Yao Xiaoyan replied, "Shadow Emperor Dugu has something to talk to me about. It'll be very late soon. Director, please don't wait for me anymore."
After replying to the director's message, she sat down on a corner of the sofa and carefully applied the medicinal oil. This time around, she actually felt that an hour was too short.
Yao Xiaoyan had finished applying the medicinal oil, but Dugu Ling still hadn't come out of his room. She waited for a while, feeling a little bored. Slowly, her head started to droop, and she started to doze off.
About ten minutes later, Yao Xiaoyan fell asleep on the sofa.
Dugu Ling was sitting in his bedroom, listening to Yao Xiaoyan's movements outside. At this moment, he heard her breathing become even. He opened the door and looked at the woman sleeping on the sofa. He couldn't help but have a trace of love and amusement in his eyes.
When Dugu Ling returned to his room, he took out a blanket and placed it on top of Yao Xiaoyan's body. He quietly sat beside his, and this time, he didn't have to sneak over to her room in the middle of the night to see her.
The night was as cool as water, and the thin moonlight rippled on the white window screen, forming patches of silver as it fell onto the luxurious carpet. The petals within the crystal bottle fell off like they couldn't hold on. They piled up on the table and fell onto the transparent floor. The faint fragrance of the flowers in the room was ethereal.
Dugu Ling was staring at Yao Xiaoyan in such a daze that even the flow of time had become unclear, slow and sticky. A cool breeze rippled in all directions without a sound. The air was a blur as well, and the air spiraled like a river of twilight.
Finally, Dugu Ling raised his arm and gently placed his finger on a woman's face. He was extremely careful, as if a woman was the most precious treasure in this world …
A corner of the blanket slid down from her shoulders, revealing her fair and sexy collarbone. Dugu Ling's eyes flashed, and he reached out to pull the blanket back up, but just as he was about to leave, he didn't expect her to suddenly flip over and press her head into his arm.
The corner of Dugu Ling's mouth curled up and a charming smile appeared in his dark green eyes. He slowly bent down, about to press his lips against Yao Xiaoyan's.
Yao Xiaoyan's eyelashes blinked slightly. Dugu Ling was startled and quickly stood up to retreat. His movement also caused Yao Xiaoyan, who was sleeping soundly, to wake up.
Yao Xiaoyan opened her eyes and instantly saw the man looking at her with his dark green eyes. Her mind cleared up in an instant and she abruptly stood up from the sofa. She then instinctively touched the corner of her mouth.
She actually fell asleep in his room, but really …
"Sorry, I …" Yao Xiaoyan didn't know how to explain. She only felt that it was extremely embarrassing for her to lose her composure like this in the movie emperor's room. She didn't know whether she had snored or not after falling asleep.
Dugu Ling was sitting on a sofa not too far away with an indifferent look on his face, but he was trying his best to remain calm inside. He almost got caught by Yao Xiaoyan.
"Since your feet are fine, you can go back now." Dugu Ling said calmly with a cold expression.
Only now did Yao Xiaoyan realize the pain in her ankle had disappeared. She lowered her head and saw that the black bruise the ghost lady left on her leg had also completely disappeared. Dugu Ling's medicine was truly miraculous.
"Thank you, Shadow Emperor Dugu." Yao Xiaoyan hurriedly expressed her gratitude. She hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether she should explain in the future.
"I just don't want to miss the shoot." Dugu Ling said coldly.
"…" Yao Xiaoyan swallowed her words back down her throat.
His foot was injured, and Dugu Ling was afraid that she would delay the filming, so he personally called for her to apply medicine. It seemed that he really valued this filming, and today she fell into the water, causing the filming crew to be delayed for an entire day.
Yao Xiaoyan could almost imagine Dugu Ling's angry expression.
Yao Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment but she did not say what she wanted to say. She nodded and thanked him again before taking her leave.
Yao Xiaoyan took two steps forward and stepped on the blanket that had fallen off her body. She quickly picked up the blanket and thought of Dugu Ling personally covering her with the blanket. A glimmer of hope appeared in her heart.
Dugu Ling was cold to people, but it was also scary. However, the blanket was really warm. Perhaps he really should try. After all, she had no other methods.
Yao Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before looking at Dugu Ling.
"Anything else?" Dugu Ling slowly raised his head. The light shone on the deep side of his handsome face, which was as if carved by a knife. His calm face was like a flawless jade wall.
