Night, haughtily tranquil.
The room was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breaths. The faint scent of Dragon Saliva perfume lingered in the air, startling Cai Wei!
"Hey, what exactly are you up to?"
The man gave a light laugh, then suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him.
"I thought that with Wei’er’s cleverness, you would know why I’m here."
"Hey, speak up, don’t resort to force, get off!"
Instinctively, Cai Wei protected her body with one hand, flailing with the other in frustrated desperation, trying to free herself from the man’s grip.
However, the man’s arm was like a huge iron clamp, firmly clamping her down. No matter how hard she tried, she could not break free.
Nangong Yi suddenly laughed, his wicked gaze swept over the small hand blocking her chest, his mouth spiteful, leaving no room for mercy: "There’s nothing there, what are you trying to protect?"
Suddenly, Cai Wei’s body stiffened, and she stopped struggling.
What does he mean... there’s nothing there?
How did he know... there was nothing there?
Could it be... he’d already seen it?
Could it be... that day, it was not the maid, but him?
Thinking about this, Cai Wei’s face flushed red up to her ears. With shame and anger, she kneeled beside the couch, pointed at him trembling: "You, you..."
Nangong Yi smirked: "What about me?"
She growled in angry embarrassment: "You’re a jerk! Despite I saved your life, you repay me ? What gives you the right to grab me like that? And you took off my clothes, stole my belly wrap..."
Nangong Yi’s eyebrows knitted together lightly, he replied calmly: "A taste of his own Medicine, that’s all."
Cai Wei saw that he admitted without showing any regret, she was boiling with rage.
"When did I ever knock you out? When did I take off your clothes? Did I steal your undergarments?"
The man listened, then gave a cold laugh. His voice was low and hoarse. His expression was unclear in the darkness, but his bright teeth were visible.
"What you did was ten times, a hundred times more outrageous. Do I need to remind you?"
After hearing that, Cai Wei suddenly closed her mouth. The raging anger she had just a moment ago was extinguished without a single spark left.
Before she came to the county, she had played a wicked trick on him. While helping him apply medicine, she took the opportunity to use the Old Turtle’s medicine on his back and wrote a large "cheap" character!
But could she be blamed? He kept threatening her, making her nervous and uneasy all day long like a rat.
What she did to him was merely a lesson, she didn’t harm a strand of his hair or cost him a penny. Did he really have to chase her to the county? Even in the middle of the night!
Nangong Yi’s voice startled Cai Wei.
She noncommittally responded with a mumble, neither acknowledging nor denying.
The man leaned in, not far from her ear, his tone icy: "So tell me, what outrageous things did you do?"
Cai Wei closed her eyes, calculating the chances of knocking him out without her parents finding out, only to despairingly realize it was impossible. She dropped her face, defeated.
"I... shouldn’t have... written on your back... sorry..."
