Behind the potted plant, Dong Xin Yan felt as though Gu Ningyi was standing right in front of her. Her heart leapt into her throat. Don’t co any closer, please don’t...
Whether or not the heavens heard her prayers, Gu Ningyi took a few steps toward her, seemingly unaware of anything. He stopped for a few seconds, then turned around and walked inside.
Through the gaps in the potted plant, Dong Xin Yan saw Gu Ningyi turn around. She patted her chest and exhaled a sigh of relief. Luckily, she wasn’t discovered...
The cool night breeze slowly blew by, gently swaying the branches and leaves. Just as Dong Xin Yan released her breath, the breeze made her shiver uncontrollably, and her nose twitched. Before she could suppress it, she sneezed.
The sound wasn’t particularly loud, but in the quietness of the night, it was enough to reach Gu Ningyi’s ears.
Dong Xin Yan’s dark eyes widened in shock, and she was completely stunned. She hastily covered her mouth with her hand, but it was too late. The footsteps that had already left were returning, heading straight toward her.
Dong Xin Yan silently cursed ’oh no’ and wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to go. She could only watch as the tall figure strode in front of her. The next second, she felt a force wrap around her wrist and pull her out roughly.
What does it feel like to have lost all hope? Dong Xin Yan felt like this was exactly her current state. Why is it whenever she does sothing bad in front of Gu Ningyi... she’s always caught red-handed by him?
Dong Xin Yan didn’t dare to look at Gu Ningyi. She kept her head low, her hair falling down, hoping that even if caught, he wouldn’t recognize her.
She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her fear, then pretended to be extrely flustered, "Y-Young Master, I’m sorry, I didn’t an to, I was just too scared..."
"Young Master?"
The man mumbled, his voice colder than the night breeze, "Dong Xin Yan, how long are you going to keep pretending?"
Words clogged in Dong Xin Yan’s throat. She looked up in surprise, blankly staring at Gu Ningyi.
The light of the night was dim, with only the cold moonlight pouring down. He was enveloped in that moonlight, appearing even more aloof, sending a shiver down anyone’s spine.
He... called her Dong Xin Yan?
He recognized her? When?
"You, how would you..." Dong Xin Yan’s voice seed to squeeze out from her throat.
She had disguised herself so well, basically avoiding him whenever she could. How could he possibly know it was her?
"How did I know?" Gu Ningyi continued her sentence, then sneered, a hint of mockery in his dark eyes. "Did you really think putting on makeup, stuffing sothing..."
Gu Ningyi glanced disdainfully at her waist, frowned, and continued, "stuffing so odd thing would make you unrecognizable? Dong Xin Yan, how are you becoming more naive as you live?"
Becoming more naive?
Dong Xin Yan really didn’t like hearing that. She couldn’t help but retort, "What do you an odd thing, this is highly realistic padding, okay? I spent a lot of money on it! And makeup! Don’t you know makeup is now one of Asia’s four great wonders?"
"..."
Ahem, alright, those aren’t the main point, the main point is...
Dong Xin Yan’s dark pupils shifted, her eyes suddenly brightened.
