As soon as Luo Anning finished speaking, she hurriedly scurried towards the bed like a little mudfish. She then laid down obediently beside Rong Yan.
Her obedience made Rong Yan’s heart melt and he looked down at her, feeling like she looked more and more like a porcelain doll!
He felt a strong urge to keep her in his pocket and protect her!
Unable to control himself, he rubbed her head gently and said, “Look, you look so much better when you’re obedient.”
His masculine scent wafted up into her nose and she finally felt a sense of relief. She finally stopped feeling fearful and asked upon hearing his words, “Why?”
Would my ugliness be his eyesore?
“Well because, obedient children should be doted on.” Rong Yan then held her tightly in his arms and stared at her beautiful eyes for a while before kissing her forehead. “Go to sleep. There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m right here.”
Feeling extremely touched, Luo Anning nodded and closed her eyes slowly. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight… ”
…
Luo Anning only woke up at eleven the next morning. She slept way better than she did in the detainment room, perhaps because she had Rong Yan to accompany her.
She woke up to discover that Rong Yan had already left long ago. The spot beside her was empty too.
She got a grip on her emotions and headed downstairs after freshening up.
“Young Madam, you’re awake. Young Master Rong specially instructed the cooks to brew you some soup to heal your senses. Drink some after breakfast. It’ll help you cope with the shock.” Auntie Li walked towards her and held her.
Luo Anning nodded and said with a faint smile, “Got it.”
She paused for a moment before asking, “Auntie Li, didn’t you guys read the news?”
“You mean the Ou Lixue incident?” asked Auntie Li.
Luo Anning nodded and remained silent while Auntie Li patted the back of her hand and said smilingly, “Young Madam, we’ve lived under the same roof for two years. Of course I’m sure what kind of a person you are. I’d believe it if you were accused of playing a prank on Ou Lixue but it’s absolutely absurd to accuse you of murder!”
Luo Anning was extremely touched to hear how much Auntie Li trusted her. She stared at the servants who were all smiling, and thought to herself, seems like only the people around me trust me.
After breakfast, Luo Anning was made to finish the soup under Auntie Li’s surveillance.
As soon as she sat on the couch, Auntie Li walked towards her again. She occasionally glanced out of the window and said, “Young Master Rong said that he’d be sending the lawyer of Baina International here. Why isn’t the head lawyer here yet?”
Speak of the devil. As soon as Auntie Li finished speaking, the bodyguard outside the door, entered together with a woman who sported a clean and short bob.
She had on some light makeup and was clad in an immaculate business suit and stilettos. She was holding onto a black briefcase and looked extremely stern and dominant, although she was quite a beautiful woman.
She strutted towards Luo Anning and said gracefully, “Young Madam Rong, good afternoon. I’m Xu Mengjie, the head lawyer of Baina International. Young Master Rong sent me here. You may address me as Lawyer Xu or Miss Xu. Whichever you may prefer. I’m here to discuss with you about Ou Lixue’s case. I hope you’ll cooperate with me as far as possible, Young Madam Rong. Please try to recall everything that took place during the incident.”
