The afternoon that Mo Jiangye left, Ye Erruo moved into the other room and kept the red furry fella by her side closely. It followed her wherever she went, its excited little body jumping at every step.
“Young Madam, someone has sent something for you.” A maid walked in with a box with gorgeous packaging.
On the intricate pink glass box was a lovers’ design with two rows of loving sentences. On the corner of the box was a bow, and a shining diamond was embedded in the middle of the box.
Ye Erruo had just changed clothes and was ready to head out when she saw the box in the maid’s hands. She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Who sent this?”
“I, I do not know. That person has left.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to sign for any unknown parcels? Remember, do not sign or accept anything in the future. Take this out and deal with it yourself. Red Bean, let’s go!” Ye Erruo took her purse from the clothing rack and walked out.
Red Bean dashed and ran out with Ye Erruo.
“Young Madam, Young Madam! Do you really not want this?” The maid ran after them.
“I am giving it to you.”
“But… But you have not even seen what’s inside.”
“You can help me have a look. I have given it to you. If you do not want it, then throw it out.” Ye Erruo bent down and picked Red Bean up into her embrace.
The little fella dug its snout into her embrace excitedly.
“Are you a dog or a wolf?” Ye Erruo blew at its furry head and smiled.
“Ow!”
“…”
Upon seeing that Ye Erruo had left, the maid, who was on the second floor, touched the box and opened the packaging.
Clack!
When she saw what was inside the box after opening it, she dropped it on the floor in shock, causing it to break into pieces.
She crouched down excitedly and picked up the set of pink jewelry happily. Upon seeing that no one was in the main hall, she frantically cleaned up the broken pieces and took the diamond embedded in the box as well.
This thing was clearly worth a lot at first glance.
Last time, someone had sent flowers. This time, it was diamonds. If Young Master knew that someone was pursuing Young Madam…
The maid trembled at the thought. She did not know anything, anything whatsoever! She had to quickly sell these items, as maids couldn’t wear such expensive things. It wasn’t safe to keep them by her side either, so it was more practical to exchange them for cash.
“Xiao Mei, what are you doing? Why do you look so flustered?”
“Who says I look flustered?” The maid straightened her posture as she hid the jewelry in her clothes and speedily walked out of there.
This stuff could probably sell for at least 800,000 yuan, right? If they were authentic pink diamonds, she could sell them for even ten million yuan! With ten million, she wouldn’t need to be a maid any longer. She could take the money and return to the countryside and live a good life.
The more she thought about it, the sweeter she felt in her heart!
Meanwhile, at the Enchantress Bar…
“Oh, oh, oh! The little canary is finally let out to breathe some fresh air.” Yao Tiao made fun of Ye Erruo when she saw her.
“Xiao Ruo, what are you doing here?” Ji Sichen was surprised.
“What canary?”
“How did you feel at home these past few days after being caught and cared for by Chief Mo? Tell us your story and thoughts about gaining back your freedom.” Yao Tiao placed her shoe in front of Ye Erruo.
“That’s a strong odor.”
“This is a new pair of shoes. Hey, where did you get the red furry guy in your embrace?” Yao Tiao caressed Red Bean’s head and held its head in her hands as she ravaged it.
Ye Erruo’s lips twitched as she placed Red Bean down on the ground.
Red Bean barked angrily as it fiendishly dashed toward Yao Tiao.
“Red Bean!”
Red Bean looked terrified in an instant and sat obediently by Ye Erruo’s leg.
“Did he do anything to you?” Ji Sichen asked with a confused gaze.
He could still contact her promptly if there was an issue. However, every time, before they could even exchange a few words, she would have something to do. He did not know if the man had done anything to her after she had been caught and brought back from the bar…
