Despite wanting to stay longer in the bedroom with Lu ngjie, Han Yizhou didn't have a choice but to leave before anyone could catch him in her room. It was not yet ti to reveal their relationship after all.
After the man left, Lu ngjie went to take a bath and changed into a new set of clothes. Bai Jingye arrived shortly, knowing at her door by the ti she was done brushing her hair. Lu ngjie walked to open the door and there she saw Bai Jingye, still in the sa clothes he was wearing when he left the room last night.
"Good morning," she greeted with a bright smile.
The man could perfectly see that she was in a good mood, aside from that, he noticed the ring around her finger when she showed him her hand. "Guess what? I'm married." She grinned happily.
From the corner of his eyes, Bai Jingye saw a servant close by so he replied, "yes you are. Married to ."
Lu ngjie was quick to understand the situation so she just ended up giggling at his response. "Let's go, it's ti for breakfast."
"Don't you want to take a bath first?"
"I can still do that after we have our breakfast." It was also to avoid staying in one room with her once he would take a bath later. He valued his life more than anything. He didn't want to have his head flying if he 'accidentally' showed off his sexy body to her. Han Yizhou would never allow her to defile her eyes with another man's body.
As the two began going down the stairs, at the end of it, Han Yizhou was seen waiting for them there. He was quietly and patiently waiting for them, no, it was more like he was only waiting for her. The mont their eyes t, Lu ngjie tried her best to stay calm, to control her lips from springing into a smile.
The man waiting for her only gave her a nod and a small knowing smile in return.
Even without doing much, Bai Jingye felt like he was already being fed with dog food early in the morning. He was tempted to ruin their mont but he held back. He was willing to go against anyone but Han Yizhou.
The trio went to the dining room and there, waiting for them, was Xu Chen and so servants. The woman was quiet and only shot them a glance but she never tried to look at the blonde-haired man.
Both Bai Jingye and Lu ngjie were surprised at her strange reaction. Didn't Han Yizhou go to her last night to apologize to her? Why did it look like… she was threatened instead? Just what the hell did this man do to scare her this way?
They would never be able to find out about what happened between the two. Bai Jingye watched as Han Yizhou pulled out a chair for Lu ngjie. His eyes were still locked at him as he stood still, on guard, behind her. Did he hurt his mother again? But there were no bruises seen except for her bandaged wrist. Aside from that, his mother would always co to him to complain if things haven't gone her way.
"Mr. Han, you should join us," Lu ngjie invited, speaking fluently in English.
"I don't think I should. I am just your servant, Ms. ng."
"Nonsense. You know that you are more than just a servant to ," she said in a friendly manner despite having a double aning in it. She turned to Bai Jingye and his mother as she asked, "it's alright for him to join us, right?"
"I don't mind." The man cast his eyes to his mother as he asked, "mom?"
"Go ahead." She gave them her green signal which startled both her son and her 'daughter-in-law'.
Han Yizhou must have done sothing to fix this prideful woman's attitude towards them!
She looked at a maid that was standing on the side and ordered, "get one more plate and glass for Mr. Han. He will be joining us for breakfast."
Lu ngjie ended up watching her lover take a seat beside her. She was looking at him in disbelief. Under the table, she nudged him to get his attention.
He turned to her, looking at her in confusion.
She didn't have to say a word, her eyes were enough to ask him what he did to Xu Chen.
An inaudible smile appeared on the man's lips. He leaned to the side to whisper in her eyes, "we just had a conversation."
She ended up raising a brow as she looked at him with doubt.
"Long conversation," he added.
As if that was enough to explain things! Her eyes demanded for more info but she knew that she wouldn't be able to get the answer from him, not when there were ears around them. Oh well, after what they witnessed last night, no one would dare to approach a scary man like him. He could silence everyone in the room without doing much, or maybe he did, whatever way it was, she didn't want to find out.
Everyone was wary of Han Yizhou's presence. He was not afraid to defy steward Fang or even the mother of the master of the place. There was only one person who could control him, who he would listen to and that person was none other than Lu ngjie. They don't have an idea whether Bai Jingye could make him listen since he was the man who 'hired' him but as far as they knew, Han Yizhou's loyalty was only towards one person.
When they began eating the food that was prepared for breakfast, the man sitting beside Lu ngjie never failed to assist her. From filling her plate with food to filling her glass, he was quick to help her. He even was even removing the thorns of the fish for her. Bai Jingye was there but for so reason, the other man was acting more like the real husband.
