With a “thud”, Xiao Jingcheng was kicked off the bed.
He gasped sharply and suddenly woke up from his dream. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Ye Wanmian's panicked yet somewhat angry face.
After a night, the potion of Tianli vine on her face had completely lost its efficacy, revealing her original appearance.
Xiao Jingcheng had seen her original appearance before, but seeing it again at this moment, he was still amazed by this bright, charming face with starry eyes and fair complexion.
At this moment, she grabbed the bedsheet and covered herself in front of her chest. Her cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes were wide open, looking even more gorgeous than the rosy clouds.
She trembled her finger, pointing at him and shouting angrily, “You, you, you lecher!”
After Ye Wanmian kicked Xiao Jingcheng off the bed, she found that the clothes on her body were not the ones she wore last night.
There were only her and Xiao Jingcheng in the whole room. It was obvious who had changed her wet clothes.
Although she had forgiven him last night and intended to reconcile with him, how could he take advantage of her vulnerability!
Xiao Jingcheng came to his senses instantly. He blurted out an explanation, “Don't misunderstand. I asked someone else to change your clothes.”
Really? Did he ask someone else?
A trace of doubt flashed through Ye Wanmian's mind. But then she thought, even if he could explain the clothes, what about sleeping with her just now? She couldn't have wronged him this time!
He wasn't the innocent “Goudan” he used to be. He was fully awake! Who would believe it was just an accident!
“And how do you explain sleeping in the same bed with me just now?!”
Overwhelmed with anger, Ye Wanmian grabbed the pillow on the bedside and threw it at him fiercely.
Xiao Jingcheng quickly dodged the pillow, jumped up from the ground, and hid backward, saying,
“You grabbed my clothes last night and wouldn't let me go. Besides, this room was originally prepared for me, and I've slept in this bed for a long time. Why can't I sleep in it?”
Hearing him say “sleep” again and again, Ye Wanmian's cheeks burned. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a pink object. She looked beside her and found that there was a handkerchief under the pillow. And this handkerchief was very familiar to Ye Wanmian. It was hers.
It was hers!
What did it mean for him to hide this handkerchief here?! He was definitely a lecher!
Xiao Jingcheng followed her gaze and also noticed the handkerchief. His face changed. He thought “Oh no” and rushed forward to put away the handkerchief. Ye Wanmian shouted,
“Dahuang!”
The door was knocked open, and Dahuang rushed into the room. Ye Wanmian pointed at Xiao Jingcheng angrily and said, “Bite him!”
Although Dahuang didn't know why Ye Wanmian was so angry and asked it to bite Xiao Jingcheng, as long as it was Ye Wanmian's order, it would obey unconditionally. Immediately, it turned around and pounced on Xiao Jingcheng, barking loudly and showing its fangs.
“Wanmian, is this how you treat your benefactor?” Xiao Jingcheng said to her while avoiding Dahuang.
Ye Wanmian was extremely angry. “Yes, I'm an ungrateful village woman! Dahuang, if you can bite him today, I'll buy you a whole roasted chicken!”
Hearing this, Dahuang chased even more eagerly.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingcheng's mind raced. A brilliant idea flashed through his mind, and he said,
“Back then, you took off my clothes and looked at my body while I was unconscious. I haven't even settled this score with you yet, but now you're blaming me first.”
Ye Wanmian was stunned and also remembered the “good deed” she had done back then. Her cheeks turned even redder than before, and she felt as if she was on fire.
“I'm a doctor. How can that be the same?!”
Xiao Jingcheng said quietly, “Which doctor takes off the patient's clothes and pinches the patient's chest muscles? I still remember. You pinched right here...”
He raised his hand and pressed it on his chest. The next moment, the girl jumped off the bed, rushed in front of him, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to cover his mouth.
A fragrant breeze wafted over. The girl's face was full of panic. “Okay, okay, don't say anymore!”
Wasn't he unconscious at that time? How did he know about this?
Ye Wanmian was just furious, but now she just felt guilty and ashamed.
She was just out of her mind at that time. She thought she couldn't do something like killing people, and accidentally got involved in his assassination case. Pinching him was just to vent her anger. She thought no one would know!
His nostrils were filled with the girl's fragrance. Her soft body was leaning against his. Xiao Jingcheng's Adam's apple couldn't help rolling up and down.
Xiao Jingcheng was really too tired last night. After letting her lean on him, he fell asleep soon. He didn't have any improper thoughts at all.
But now both of them were awake. A restless feeling rose from his chest, making him instantly parched.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Qi Wen said outside, “Mrs. Jiang, are you up? Your mother has woken up, but she doesn't look well. Come and take a look quickly!”
Mother woke up!
Ye Wanmian was startled. After coming to her senses, she found that she was actually in his arms, and her waist was still being held by him. She quickly broke free from him and took two steps back.
“Cough, cough!” Ye Wanmian coughed twice forcefully, turned her face away and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her voice and said, “I'll act as if I don't know about what happened last night. And the matter of me pinching you is also written off. You're not allowed to mention it in front of others from now on.”
The warmth in his arms disappeared. Xiao Jingcheng regretfully twirled his fingers.
Writing it off like this was really a pity. Seeing her flustered appearance was quite interesting.
Forget it. With her personality, if he pushed her too hard, it would be counterproductive. She always preferred to be coaxed rather than forced. Otherwise, she wouldn't have treated him so well when he was still unconscious.
“Okay, it's written off. I won't mention it again in the future.”
After getting Xiao Jingcheng's answer, Ye Wanmian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and was about to answer the door when she suddenly remembered something. She pushed him behind the door and glared at him fiercely:
“Hide here properly. Come out after Qi Wen and I are far away. Don't let others find out that we've been together all night.”
Then she lowered her head and said to Dahuang, who was sticking out its tongue and looking excited, “Dahuang, watch him well. If you see something wrong, bite him!”
Dahuang barked once and sat down in front of Xiao Jingcheng, puffing out its chest. Xiao Jingcheng gave it a warning look. It gently wagged its tail, rolled its beady eyes, and avoided his gaze.
“Mrs. Jiang?” Qi Wen heard the movement inside and called out again.
Ye Wanmian quickly tidied up her hair and clothes and replied, “I'm awake. Wait a moment. I'll come right away!”
After making sure there was nothing unusual about herself, Ye Wanmian opened the door and walked out.
As soon as he saw her, Qi Wen was surprised and said, “Mrs. Jiang, your face... has returned to its original appearance again.”
