Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yao Zizhou knew that Ming Liuyi was just trying to make him feel at ease, but from the housekeepers’ whispers, he could guess that everyone had been having a hard time recently. Whether it was the people from the main manor or Yao Ziyang, they all came to find trouble, especially with Ming Liuyi who got beaten up.
Yao Zizhou said coldly, “If everything was fine, why did you get beaten up?”
Ming Liuyi did not know what to say, and did not know if she should tell Yao Zizhou about Yao Ziyang. After all, the Yao Zizhou in the original book did not have any conflict with Yao Ziyang, and Yao Ziyang cared about him a lot. Ming Liuyi thought for a moment and decided to tell him what she knew, and let Yao Zizhou decide for himself whether to believe her or not.
“I will tell you. You can decide for yourself whether you believe me or not, but you must not vent your anger on me.”
Yao Zizhou nodded. Ming Liuyi was the victim, so he would not be angry at her. Meanwhile, Ming Liuyi suddenly felt like she was talking behind someone’s back. Although what she said was the truth, she still got up worriedly and went to close the door.
Yao Zizhou heard Ming Liuyi’s footsteps, and soon felt a soft body lean against him…
After Ming Liuyi had closed the door, she did not sit on the sofa, but instead sat on the bed, leaning against Yao Zizhou.
Perhaps she was afraid of falling off the bed, so she arched her back a little. Yao Zizhou was still not used to being so close to her, and subconsciously reached out to push Ming Liuyi, trying to maintain some distance.
Yao Zizhou indifferently said to her,”Just say what you have to say. Why are you so close?”
Although he said that, Yao Zizhou’s body seemed to be very familiar with Ming Liuyi’s. He originally wanted to push Ming Liuyi’s hand away, but he immediately hugged her, as if he was afraid that she would fall down.
Ming Liuyi did not think much of it, and mysteriously approached Yao Zizhou’s ear and whispered, “Yao Ziyang is trying to kill you. He forced me to feed you milk that had been poisoned.”
The woman’s warm breath blew onto Yao Zizhou’s ears, and in that instant, his ears began to turn red. Ming Liuyi also saw the change in his ears, and thought that he was too angry, so she immediately reached out her hand to touch his ears. Ming Liuyi was very understanding, as anyone would be angry when they heard that their brother was trying to kill them, so she comforted him.
“Don’t be angry. I just pretended to feed you. I didn’t let you swallow any of it, and sucked it in myself. You didn’t get even a drop.”
When Yao Zizhou heard this, the image of the two of them kissing appeared in his mind. He swallowed awkwardly. Ming Liuyi also gulped when she said this. Yao Zizhou immediately caught the main point. The “sucking” was great, but he did not know if he would have the chance to do it again in the future.
Yao Zizhou immediately said,”How did you make it seem like I took it?”
Ming Liuyi’s face was full of confusion.
‘Did he really need to ask? Do I have to demonstrate how I managed it? Would Yao Zizhou think I’m trying to take advantage of him?’
At that time, Ming Liuyi had no other choice. She could not just watch Yao Zizhou drink the poison bit by bit.
She looked at him and stammered, “I—I just managed it, that’s all. D-don’t sweat the details.”
As she spoke, Ming Liuyi felt her body temperature rising. She used her hands to fan herself and tried to put some distance between them, but she forgot that she was on the bed. She lost her balance and was about to meet the carpet with her face when one of his hands wrapped around her waist.
His hand exerted strength and Ming Liuyi was immediately brought back onto the bed. She even fell into a warm embrace. Ming Liuyi was dumbfounded, and before she could react, she felt Yao Zizhou grab the back of her neck. She had an expression of panic on her face, thinking that she would be thrown off the bed at any moment. But she did not expect that Yao Zizhou would gently knead the nape of her neck and pat her back.
Ming Liuyi actually felt a sense of comfort and gratitude. In the original story, Yao Zizhou was noble and handsome, but his methods were extremely cruel and vindictive. It would not end well for anyone who provoked him, as Yao Zizhou would definitely do everything he could to get revenge. But now, it seemed that he had no intention of attacking her. Ming Liuyi let out a sigh of relief. After all, she had already formed a revolutionary friendship with Yao Zizhou.
