All of a sudden, Ye Erruo headed straight for the door, only to discover that she had been locked in the room when she tried opening it to no avail.
As she tugged at her hair in frustration, she proceeded to search for her phone right away to contact her husband. Her calls, however, went unanswered even though she rang him up dozens of times.
How have I antagonized him this time? Why is he putting me under house arrest and refusing to answer my calls?
It was not until after nine o’clock in the evening that said man returned home, reeking of alcohol despite not ingesting a single mouthful of food the entire day. His conflicting feelings of longing and apprehensiveness to meet the woman had him plopping down on the floor outside their bedroom. He scared the servants so much that they dared not even exhale deeply, let alone head upstairs.
Bzzt, bzzt... His phone vibrated.
It was a message from Bo Yu about the results of his investigation on the woman’s recent activities. His brows formed a tight, knitted line when he read that there had been no signs of suspicious activity.
Her perfect, virginal experience belonged to him, and this was something he had known very well from the first time he had laid claim on her. However, now that the results indicated that there was nothing out of the ordinary about her everyday life, her whereabouts, and the people she met, that photo...
His long, phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously at once and a dark, obscure streak of light gleamed from their depths.
A pitch-dark room greeted the man when he opened the door, but it instantly lit up when he clicked the light switch.
He had assumed that his wife would come rushing out to argue with him, so he was shocked to find no one in the room upon striding further inside. Even the bathroom was empty. That was when he started anxiously looking for her in their large bedroom.
“Ye Erruo!”
Meanwhile, a baffled Ye Erruo, who had just jumped from the second floor, furrowed her brows when she thought she heard her husband’s voice.
“Young Madam, you—” exclaimed a passing servant in astonishment.
The woman made her escape right away.
“Where are you going, Young Madam?” cried the terrified servant, who hastily tossed the items in her hands aside.
On the second floor, Mo Jiangye pushed open the balcony door only to find a long rope made of multiple knots tied to the railing and a petite figure desperately running toward the main entrance downstairs.
His pupils constricted at the sight. Scared out of his wits, he immediately barked an order at his subordinates and employees.
The entire manor descended into a state of panic in just a flash. The main gates were shut so swiftly and tightly that not even a fly would be able to escape. Bo Yu, who was leading a group of men, soon caught up with the woman.
As he rubbed his hands together, he regarded his young mistress in amusement and asked, “Running away again, Young Madam? Where do you intend to go this late at night?”
Ye Erruo, who wore only thin layers of clothes, was now trapped and surrounded. The cooling temperature outside made her hands turn cold and her legs go weak.
“Where’s Mo Jiangye?”
“Oh, is Young Madam looking for Young Master?”
Suddenly, a frantic Mo Jiangye finally arrived, his heart only gradually feeling at ease when he saw that his wife had been caught.
“Come here!” he coldly demanded her.
Without further ado, the woman dashed toward him right away and plunged into his embrace when she spotted the man. Her small icy hands caressed his face as she stared at him and asked, “Where have you been the entire day?”
The cold sensation of her hands had his lips moving. “Where were you intending to go?”
“To look for you, of course! After placing me under house arrest, you refused to answer my calls and reply to my messages! I didn’t even see you around the entire day! Mo Jiangye, do you intend to keep me imprisoned here like a caged bird?” The strength in her hands increased as she ranted at him, wishing that she could slap his face.
His foul mood miraculously improved when he heard her grumbling!
“Hey, say something!” The man merely responded by holding the back of her head.
