"Liu Liu is so beautiful. This is the first time I've seen someone like you. Naturally, I'm quite taken with you! So I've asked you to stay and warm my bed!"
Liu Rumei couldn't help but smile wryly and shook her head helplessly.
On one side, A Nan was squatting on the ground, holding the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, looking wronged. "How much longer are you two going to talk? I'm starving! I've been busy all day and even cooked for you. Are you really going to let me go hungry? Is there any justice in this?"
Thinking of the days of grievance before, A Nan felt extremely depressed. There was a melancholy air about him.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Liu Rumei's eyes. She quickly pulled Heng Niang, who was clinging to her, away. "Sorry."
Heng Niang gave her a sideways glance. "What, are you not happy about it?"
A Nan's heart skipped a beat. He shook his head repeatedly, with an obsequious smile on his face. "I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare! You call the shots!"
Surprise flashed across Sixi's eyes. Looking at the delicious - looking food on the table, she was completely stunned. "Did you cook all this?"
A Nan looked proud. He said to Sixi, "Yes. I'm a man who can handle both social events and household chores! I'm definitely the top choice for a good man!"
Sixi couldn't help twitching the corner of her mouth. There was a hint of disgust in her eyes. This was the first time she'd met such a shameless person!
Liu Rumei had long known about A Nan's cooking skills, so she didn't say much. She just sat down and started eating.
Looking at Sixi's non - stop mouth, Liu Rumei couldn't help but shake her head again. Sixi really had a strong stomach. How long had she been eating?
Ye Zhe also couldn't help rubbing his forehead. It seemed that the training intensity had to be increased a bit more!
At the Bai Mansion.
Bai Jinmian was locked in the courtyard. Her eyes were full of anger. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the guards outside the door.
The maid beside her couldn't help but speak softly. "Miss, perhaps the master is just angry for the moment. He'll calm down in a few days!"
There was anger all over Bai Jinmian's face. She raised her hand and gave the maid a resounding slap. "What's there to calm down about! Get out of here!"
She never expected that when she kindly came back to tell her father that the woman's grave had been dug up and wanted to ask who had done it, she was scolded by Bai Hanfei instead. He even said that it was her mother who had done it! How infuriating!
Who on earth dared to play such a trick on their mother and daughter!
The maid only felt a burning pain on her face. Tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't stop them from falling. She didn't dare to say anything more and quickly ran out.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the courtyard gate, she bumped into Bai Haoyu who was coming from the opposite direction.
"I greet the young master."
Bai Haoyu looked at the swollen face and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. He squatted down and reached out to touch the pretty face. "Little sister really doesn't know how to cherish the fairer sex! Does it hurt?"
The handsome man's gentle consolation made the maid's heart flutter. She subconsciously shook her head. "It doesn't hurt."
A smile curved Bai Haoyu's lips. He was quite satisfied with the maid's reaction. "Go on."
"Yes!"
Entering the small courtyard, Bai Haoyu was about to push the door open. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door and before he could step inside, a cup came flying towards him and hit his shoulder hard. The white brocade robe on his body was instantly stained with tea.
"Get out of here!"
Bai Haoyu's face immediately darkened. Rubbing his painful arm, he angrily shouted, "Bai Jinmian, are you crazy!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Jinmian quickly looked up. "Why are you here?"
Bai Haoyu walked into the room and said indifferently, "I heard that you were locked up by father. I've come to check on you!"
Wasn't it just a woman? Was it really necessary to act like this?
Bai Jinmian's eyes were full of anger. "Now that you've seen me, are you satisfied?"
Her mother had a hard time in the Bai Mansion, but he, on the other hand, was fooling around all day, indulging in debauchery. He spent more time in brothels than at home! How could she have such a brother?
A hint of anger also appeared on Bai Haoyu's face. "I'm here to check on you out of kindness! You're so ungrateful!"
Bai Jinmian snorted. "I don't need your false kindness! You'd better go back to your brothel!"
Bai Haoyu sneered. "If I hadn't come back, I don't know what would have happened to you!"
A woman had actually forced them to such a state. She was really something!
Bai Jinmian gritted her teeth. "What on earth do you want?"
Bai Haoyu said disdainfully, "I'm afraid you'll stupidly kill yourself! If you want to ruin yourself, that's fine, but don't drag mother down with you!"
Bai Jinmian's eyes tightened instantly. "What's wrong with mother? Has something happened to her?"
There was a look of mockery in Bai Haoyu's eyes. "Isn't it all thanks to you?"
If it weren't for his good sister, how could their mother have been locked up? Thinking of the looks the servants in the mansion gave him these days made his blood boil with anger.
"If you're smart, just stay here obediently. Otherwise, you'll be in for it!"
"You..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Bai Haoyu had already turned around and left!
Watching his departing back, Bai Jinmian couldn't help shouting, "Tell me, what's wrong with mother! Bai Haoyu! Come back here!"
...
As the night grew deeper, the sound of the night watchman came from outside. "It's dry. Be careful of fire..."
Liu Rumei was sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside. She picked up a cup of green tea and took a sip.
But the next moment, she fell into a warm embrace, and a big hand appeared on her wrist.
A cool voice slowly sounded. "Drinking tea at night is not good for sleep. Drink less."
After saying that, he took the tea from her hand without question and placed it aside. "You're going to the Bai Mansion?"
The sudden intimacy made Liu Rumei frown. She said indifferently, "Your Highness, men and women should keep a proper distance!"
When did he come in? She didn't even notice!
A smile curved Mo Liandi's lips. His big hand tightened even more. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Liu Liu, I miss you."
As the ancient poem said, not seeing someone for a day feels like three autumns. Now he finally understood it!
The unexpected words made Liu Rumei's body stiffen. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. Her heart craved the warm embrace, but her reason told her to stay away as soon as possible...
In the end, reason prevailed. Liu Rumei struggled out of his embrace and sat down in a safe place. "I promised Princess Anning to investigate the case at the Bai Mansion."
Mo Liandi felt a sense of disappointment when his embrace was empty. But when he heard the name Ning Yan'er from Liu Rumei's mouth, the light in his eyes flashed by. "It's her?"
Wasn't the last warning enough? Did she really have to cross his line again and again!
