Chapter 30: Chapter 30: You Climbed into My Bed?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the break of dawn, when the sky turned the color of fish bellies, Ming Yao startled awake from her dreams.
She opened her eyes and saw herself nestled in a man’s embrace, her pupils contracting slightly.
How did she end up in someone else’s bed last night?
She was sure she had only been leaning against the bed…
Glancing at the man’s handsome face and seeing that he hadn’t woken up yet, she let out a sigh of relief.
Throwing the quilt aside, she intended to escape at the speed of light before he noticed, but before she could get out of bed, her scalp suddenly hurt.
Her long hair was grabbed by the man.
Following that, a gloomy and cold voice rose from behind her, “You climbed into my bed?”
Without even looking back, she could feel the powerful aura emanating from the man.
Sharp, cold, and oppressive.
Ming Yao felt unusually guilty.
Last night, she didn’t know how she ended up in his bed herself.
But she merely enjoyed the scent of his body and had absolutely no indecent thoughts about his flesh!
Ming Yao extracted her long hair from the crushing grip of his hand and touched her face.
She was quite confident in her makeup skills, and even after a night without removing it, she should not have betrayed any flaws.
She turned to look at the man, putting on a timid expression, “Fourth Master, I’m sorry, last night you were drunk, and I was afraid that you might kick the blankets off or vomit again, so I lay by the bed to take care of you. I don’t know how I ended up in bed with you over the night. Maybe it was too cold and I just wanted to share some of the blanket—”
Her shoulders shrunk and her eyelashes trembled non-stop.
She perfectly portrayed the image of a terrified little maid to its utmost extent.
But Gu Siting clearly didn’t believe her. Even before he became the Person in Charge of the Gu Family, women had been scheming to get into his bed, not to mention the past two years!
Gu Siting had not expected this ordinary little maid to have the audacity to do such a preposterous act!
“Pack your things now and get out of Imperial Garden!”
Ming Yao, “…” Was this tyrant always so quick to tell people to leave?
All her goodwill from last night seemed to have been fed to the dogs!
Seeing that she had not moved, frost and loathing flickered in the man’s dark, narrow eyes, “Not leaving yet? Waiting to be blacklisted by the entire industry?”
So cold and ruthless!
Damn him!
Ming Yao had wanted to explain to him, but then she thought it was best to say nothing at all.
Forcing a bright tear to her eye, she cast a mix of grief and pent-up anger at Gu Siting before turning to run away.
When Gu Siting saw the look in Ming Yao’s eyes as she left, his temples pulsed.
How dared she climb the master’s bed shamelessly and still feel aggrieved?
Little Snowball had slept in the servants’ room where Ming Yao was staying and came to the master’s room when it didn’t find her upon waking.
Seeing Ming Yao running outside, it meowed a few times, but Ming Yao ignored it.
Little Snowball entered the room, saw the master’s darkened face, and sensed his lingering anger, so it meowed a few times again.
Gu Siting, annoyed by Little Snowball’s meowing, commanded irritably, “What are you meowing for? If you feel sorry for her, go with her!”
And with that, Little Snowball darted out.
Gu Siting, “…” An ungrateful mutt that wouldn’t recognize kindness!
Ming Yao returned to the servant room, ignoring Little Snowball’s insistent meowing as she began to pack her luggage.
She didn’t have much, so it was quickly gathered.
Little Snowball became frantic seeing that Ming Yao was about to leave.
Ming Yao patted Little Snowball’s head, “My leaving today is so we can have a better reunion in the days to come, understand?”
Little Snowball shook its head, indicating it didn’t understand.
“Unless your master takes the initiative to make peace, I won’t be coming back anytime soon!”
She would rather endure the pain of insomnia than lose her dignity!
