At the thought of Ian who would always play the violin when he was drunk, Dou Xiangling did not know whether to laugh or sympathize with him.
Will he catch a cold if he plays the violin in such weather?
At the thought of this, out of concern for their guest on her cousin’s behalf, Dou Xiangling got up from the bed and walked out.
When she opened the door of the yard and saw Ian who was playing the violin outside, Dou Xiangling was silent.
It was only a few seconds later that she proceeded to walk over to his direction.
However, she had only taken a few steps when two bodyguards appeared out of nowhere.
“Miss Dou, please stay away from the Young Master.”
Dou Xiangling stopped walking and deliberately lowered her voice. “Why did you allow Ian outside? The surroundings are so cold and he will catch a cold if he continues.”
Even if he were to play the violin within his courtyard, the temperature inside was relatively warmer due to the hot springs and it was better than standing outside the courtyard.
The two bodyguards looked at each other quietly and one of them said, “No one is allowed to approach the Young Master when he is drunk.”
Dou Xiangling was momentarily stunned. However, she thought of how it was normal that Ian did not allow others to approach him when he was drunk, as it was due to self-defense.
She did not continue on this topic instead, she thought for a moment. All of a sudden, she recalled Zi Yi’s heat generator and suggested. “Why don’t you put a heat generator next to him?”
The two bodyguards made eye contact and one of them said, “The Young Master doesn’t like things blocking his path.”
If they placed the heat generator near him, it would definitely get in the way of the young master and they did not wish to be the unlucky ones.
Dou Xiangling fell into silence once again.
She stood there and looked at Ian who was intoxicated in his own world and playing the violin. She was thinking if she could wake him up.
At the thought of this, Dou Xiangling tried calling out to him. “Ian.”
Ian did not respond and he continued playing the violin.
However, the expressions of the two bodyguards changed. “Miss Dou, you can’t.”
Even so, their reminder still came too late.
Ian.”
Dou Xiangling had increased her volume. She turned to look at the two bodyguards whose expressions changed drastically and she was just about to ask what was wrong.
Just then, Ian stopped playing the violin.
Following that, he turned to Dou Xiangling and his whole body exuded a sharp chilly aura that seemed to be expressing his displeasure.
Dou Xiangling felt stunned and she subconsciously called out. “Ian, are you awake?”
Dou Xiangling’s voice was gentle and soft, without the slightest trace of aggression. Ian looked at her for a few seconds before he stepped toward her. “Miss Dou, quick, return to your courtyard!”
The two bodyguards hastily reminded her.
Dou Xiangling retreated a few steps back. Her complexion appeared a little pale as she looked at Ian who was approaching her.
Don’t tell me this person is going to hit someone?!
Should she scream or not?
As long as she screamed, she would definitely be able to wake up Yiyi and the rest.
Just as Dou Xiangling’s mind was in a jumble, a robot appeared out of thin air and following that, she saw Ian sent flying with a punch.
Boom!
‘Ugh…”
“Young Master!”
Dou Xiangling widened her eyes as she looked at Ian who had crashed on the ground heavily and then at the two bodyguards who wanted to help him up but dared not approach him.
Ian was punched in the stomach and he fell to the ground. He curled his body into a ball and furrowed his brows, showing an expression as if he was in extreme pain.
Dou Xiangling somehow felt tender-hearted after seeing the expression on his face. At the thought that Ian most probably did not have the ability to attack seeing how much pain he was in, she walked towards him.
She came near him and leaned down to ask, “Ian, are you alright? Ah- I‘
Never had she imagined that Ian would suddenly put his arm around her waist and pull her down with him.
BAM!
“Ugh…”
The two bodyguards looked on helplessly as their young master fell down together with Miss Dou. Not to mention, their young master acted as a cushion for Miss Dou. All of a sudden, they had the urge to cover their eyes.
Dou Xiangling was lying on top of Ian and she felt ashamed and vexed at the same time. She was about to immediately get away from him.
Just then, Ian’s hoarse voice that was as deep as a cello sounded in her ears. “Don’t move, my stomach hurts. It won’t hurt if we hug.”
Dou Xiangling:
She suddenly flared up. This man appears to be like a gentleman on the surface but in actual fact, he was a… pervert!
“Ian, let go of me. If not, I’ll scream out loud. Then the robot will appear again and beat you up.”
As soon as she said that, she suddenly felt that the breathing coming from beneath her became deep and came at even intervals.
Dou Xiangling subconsciously looked down to take a glance. She almost ruined her image as a young lady, which she had maintained for 23 years with what she saw.
In particular, the two bodyguards standing next to them had asked out of concern, “Miss Dou, are you alright?”
“Miss Dou, is our Young Master doing fine?”
Dou Xiangling said grumpily. ‘Your Young Master is asleep.”
Unexpectedly, the both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did they finally make their way over.
One of the bodyguards said, “Miss Dou, you can wake up the Young Master now.”
Dou Xiangling asked, “…How?”
What if this person were to display his bad drunken habits again?
“As long as the Young Master falls asleep, it proves that his mind has more or less cleared up.”
“He won’t do anything to you if you wake him up now.”
Dou Xiangling maintained her doubtful attitude and propped up her body. “Ian.”
Ian appeared rather confused when he heard a female voice calling for him and he furrowed his eyebrows.
Dou Xiangling called out to him again. “Ian.”
Dou Xiangling felt ashamed and vexed earlier and so, she did not feel any other emotions. But now that they were in such close proximity for quite some time, both the temperature of their bodies had risen and it made her feel the clear difference between men and women.
Dou Xiangling’s face turned a flushed red.
While feeling ashamed and vexed, she raised her voice and called out. “Ian!”
Ian suddenly opened his eyes. He was dumbfounded when he made eye contact with Dou Xiangling’s beautiful pair of eyes that seemed to be spouting flames.
Sometime later, he asked, while he was feeling confused and shocked at the same time, “Dou… why are you in my bed?”
The flames of fury in her eyes intensified at his words and she simply glared at him. There was even a slight hint of grievance in her tone of voice that she had not realized herself. “You were drunk and kept playing the violin outside. I came outside wanting to persuade you to go back to your courtyard, but you started acting like a drunk!”
Ian:
He was drunk and he had unleashed his drunken behavior on Miss Dou.
Impossible!
“How long are you going to continue hugging me for? Let go!”
Ian subconsciously released his hands.
Dou Xiangling quickly stood up and headed back to her courtyard with a taut expression.
The two bodyguards looked on helplessly at her back view as she left, then they shifted their attention to their Young Master that was lying on the ground. They were wondering if they should head over to help him up.
Ian’s mind was a mess. He felt that he was a beast because he had actually held a lady in his arms while he was drunk.
He had never done that before in the past, right?
Or perhaps it was as what Dou Xiangling said? He would hug someone without releasing them when he got drunk, it was just that he did not know of it?
At the thought of this, Ian’s body jolted and he hastily asked, “Have I hugged anyone without letting go when I was drunk in the past?”
“No. No one is allowed to approach you when you’re drunk.”
Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God, thank God.
However…
“Why did I hug Miss Dou…?”
At the thought of Dou Xiangling’s angry appearance, Ian started to have a headache. When his head started hurting, he felt that his tummy hurt too..
