Chapter 1278: Chapter 1284: Young Master, Is it You? (3)
Xiang Yun had just woken up from sleep, and now, how could she sleep again? However, to avoid Mo Zili, she had no choice but to lie on the kang and try to sleep again. She tossed and turned, almost feeling like she was on fire inside. What should she do? How could she escape from him, how could she live her own peaceful life?
…
The next day
Xiang Yun only woke up when the sun was already high in the sky. After waking, she lazily called for Cui Lu to help her get up. Cui Lu ca in and said softly, “Young Madam, you’re finally up. The young master has been up for a while and is waiting for you to have breakfast.”
Upon hearing that the man was waiting for her to eat, Xiang Yun imdiately felt awful. She froze for a mont, then collapsed with a “thud” and painfully said, “I’ll sleep a bit more, tell him I’m not up yet, let him eat without waiting for …”
Cui Lu, put in a difficult position, said, “Young Madam, he heard you calling just now. Besides, he saw carrying the water basin into the room. What should I say?”
Xiang Yun grabbed the blanket and covered her head, saying, “I don’t care, just go and tell him…”
With no other choice, Cui Lu reluctantly went to the outer room and, blushing, conveyed the ssage.
Mo Zili learned that Xiang Yun was still sleeping. He raised an eyebrow and a slight smile appeared on his face. He had personally heard Xiang Yun lazily summoning soone inside the room and had also seen Cui Lu enter with the water basin. Now claiming she hadn’t woken up— even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe it!
But he didn’t find Xiang Yun’s deceitful behavior detestable. On the contrary, he found it endearing. She was like a petulant child who, out of unhappiness, hid and refused to et anyone. Hehe, he wanted to see how long she could hide.
Mo Zili was recovering from an injury and, having nothing else to do, he decided to just wait it out with her. If she wouldn’t get up, he wouldn’t eat; he would just keep waiting for her.
As noon approached, Xiang Yun felt so hungry that she could bear it no longer and reluctantly got out of bed. After getting dressed, she hesitantly shuffled to the outer room, where she saw Mo Zili sitting at the table reading a book.
He wore a light white robe and had a white jade hairpin on his head, appearing very casual and elegant, every bit the graceful and handso young master. Unfortunately, this graceful, handso young master was destined not to be her husband.
“Are you up?”
Seeing Xiang Yun co out, he put down his book and said, “Co eat.”
Xiang Yun hurriedly waved her hands and said, “I’m not eating, I’m not eating. You eat. I need to go to the city. Oh right, I won’t be coming back for dinner tonight. Either you eat by yourself or go back to your Duke Li Guo’s Mansion.”
With that, she rushed outside.
The slight smile on Mo Zili’s lips disappeared, replaced by a hint of frustration. This girl was so repellant toward him; what approach could he take to make her change her mind?
Xiang Yun had her own carriage and coachman. With a command, the carriage was quickly ready.
She took Cui Wen and Cui Lu and, as if fleeing, boarded the carriage and headed straight to the city.
She rembered a ti at Zhenbao Pavilion when she t Cai Wei, who had said that if Xiang Yun wanted to find her, just leave a letter at Zhenbao Pavilion, and she would be found quickly.
At this point, the only one who could help her escape from Mo Zili was Cai Wei. She couldn’t take it anymore; if the entanglent continued, she would go mad. Thus, it was crucial to find Cai Wei quickly, to help her escape from this infuriating situation!
At this mont
Cai Wei was sitting cross-legged on the kang table in the Imperial Study Room’s eastern room, discussing the opening of a hotpot restaurant with Liu Xi. Liu Xi placed a stack of docunts in front of her, saying, “Including the money for buying the house, renovations, customizing tables and chairs, and hiring craftsn, it totals sixty-two thousand, three hundred and fifteen taels. If you go into partnership with the Mo Family’s daughter-in-law, she should contribute thirty-one thousand, one hundred fifty-seven taels and five moneys. Now, both the hall manager and the waiter, oh no, the shopkeeper, and the shop assistant have been found, and we can open anyti now.”
