Qiao Ruoxi immediately hid in the car like an ostrich and covered herself with his jacket.
The man quickly came back and opened the car door. He spread out the wide blanket and wrapped her tightly in it.
“Hey, Feng Yunan…”
Qiao Ruoxi cried out in her heart. Before she could react to what was happening, her body was picked up.
“Put me down. I can walk by myself.”
!!
She really couldn’t stand his overbearing behavior. What did he think she was?
A sack?
‘This man doesn’t even know what respect is, right?’
But then again, the blanket was soft and warm. It was really comfortable to have it wrapped around her body. It was not cold at all.
“If you move again, I’ll throw you into the pool.”
When they passed by the fountain, Feng Yunan threatened her with a soft voice. Qiao Ruoxi was so scared that she shut her mouth and stopped struggling.
Feng Yunan carried her back to the villa and went straight to the master bedroom.
When Feng Yunan turned to walk towards the bathroom, he did not forget to warn her, “If I come out of the shower and I don’t see you, you’re dead!”
Qiao Ruoxi stuck her tongue out at him in her heart. ‘Hurry up and go take a shower, you bastard!’
Qiao Ruoxi lay on the bed, bored out of her mind. Her stomach was rumbling. Qiao Ruoxi sighed. What had she suffered tonight?
She hadn’t even had a chance to eat a bite of hot food at the party. The baby in her belly was protesting against her.
‘What should I do?’
‘Should I go downstairs and get something to eat?’
Just as she was hesitating, someone knocked on the door and came in.
Qiao Ruoxi peeked out and saw that it was Auntie Jiang. She was holding a tray.
Oh no, it must be for Feng Yunan. Wouldn’t it be awkward if she saw her lying here?
Qiao Ruoxi hid in the blanket again. Auntie Jiang came closer and placed the tray on the bedside table. She said softly, “Young Madam, you must be hungry, right? I’ve prepared supper here. Let’s just eat it. Even if you don’t eat, your baby can’t go hungry!”
Hearing Auntie Jiang’s words, Qiao Ruoxi felt warm and fuzzy inside. She pulled down the blanket and smiled embarrassedly. “Thank you, Auntie Jiang.”
So it wasn’t for Feng Yunan, but for her. It was just what she needed to quell her hunger.
Seeing that Auntie Jiang had prepared a nutritious and delicious supper for her, Qiao Ruoxi did not hesitate and picked it up. She finished it in one go and licked all the bowls.
“Thank you, Auntie Jiang.”
“You’re welcome. If you’re not full, I’ll send more over.”
“No, no, I’m already full.”
“Okay, then rest early,” Auntie Jiang said as she took the tray out of the bedroom.
Qiao Ruoxi felt a warmth in her belly and her heart after eating her fill.
She had to admit that in the Feng family, other than Feng Yunnan and Gu Yunjin, everyone else treated her very well.
But she didn’t know that it was all Feng Yunan’s orders.
He was the one who had ordered the cooks to prepare supper every night so that when she was hungry, she could eat hot food anytime.
The water in the bathroom was still running. Qiao Ruoxi was struggling internally.
‘Should I leave while he’s showering?’
‘But if he comes out and finds that I’m not here, would I be in danger when he comes out to settle scores with me later?’
But wouldn’t it be more dangerous if she stayed?
After much thought, Qiao Ruoxi finally decided to get out of bed and leave.
She wrapped herself in a blanket and tiptoed out of the bathroom. Just as she was about to leave, the sound of running water suddenly stopped and a man’s voice spread out. “Qiao Ruoxi!”
Qiao Ruoxi felt a chill down her spine when she was suddenly called by the man. Her hand that was holding the door handle froze on the spot.
‘Oh no! How did he know I was going to escape?’
Feng Yunan came out of the bathroom with a clean towel in his hand. He was wiping the water droplets from his hair. His cold eyes looked over and asked, “Where are you going?”
Since she was caught, Qiao Ruoxi could not admit that she was trying to escape. She forced herself to turn around and put on a smile on her face. “Hehe, Mr. Feng, I’m going to go back and find some clothes to change into before coming over to take a shower.”
The man had a pair of clear eyes. No one could play tricks under his nose.
Finding clothes was just her excuse.
He wanted to ask why this woman was never obedient.
‘Must she anger me?’
“There’s a bathrobe in the bathroom. Go take a shower. I’ll give you ten minutes,” Feng Yunan said calmly after exposing her tricks.
The man returned to the bedroom after finishing his words.
“…”
Qiao Ruoxi rolled her eyes at his back and thought to herself, ‘It looks like I won’t be able to escape tonight.’
Because she did not listen to him and take a taxi home, and instead accompanied Mu Yunli to the party, he was very unhappy. He forced her to stay in the master bedroom, and he might punish her.
With this sad thought in mind, Qiao Ruoxi went into the bathroom to take a shower. This was her first time using the bathroom in the master bedroom. She kept feeling that something was wrong.
The time limit was only ten minutes. She could only take a quick shower.
After taking a shower, she found a woman’s bathrobe in the closet of the bathroom. She picked it up and put it on. The size was very suitable.
Back in the master bedroom, the bedside lamp was lit. Feng Yunan was leaning against the bedhead, reading a book.
The light cast a faint warm glow on him. His dark, obsidian-like eyes sparkled like a calm ocean, deep and charming.
A man is indeed the most good-looking when he’s being serious and focused.
Qiao Ruoxi lowered her eyelashes in embarrassment. A trace of heat appeared on her cheeks. She shifted her gaze away and naturally looked at the cover of the book.
It turned out to be the work of the British economist John Maynard Keynes, titled The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.
Qiao Ruoxi’s heart was filled with respect for the English novel. She thought of the nonsensical romance novels she had read in the past. Compared to this, they were nothing.
Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she heard a man’s voice. “Aren’t you coming over?”
‘Fine I’ll go! I’m not scared!’
“Mr. Feng, it’s late. I’m going to bed now. Good night.”
She closed her eyes and said goodnight.
Feng Yunan looked away from the book and turned to look at the girl beside him.
Her petite body was curled up under the blanket with her back facing him. She was thousands of miles away from him and only occupied one side of the bed, almost falling off.
Did she take him for a wolf or a leopard?
Was he that scary?
Feng Yunan realized that when she lay beside him, he could feel peace and tranquility. She seemed to have some kind of magical power that could make him feel at ease.
She closed her book and smiled as she said, “Goodnight.”
