“You can go home for the night,” Yi Jinli said to Gao Congming who followed him in.
Shock flashed across Gao Congming’s eyes. However, since he had been following Yi Jinli for such a long time, he understood that there were some things that he should not ask.
“Yes,” Gao Congming responded and left the house.
‘Since Young Master Yi asked me to leave, then I guess this means that Young Master Yi... is going to stay here tonight?’
Inside the rented house, there were only Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran.
He helped her remove her shoes and coat before he pulled the covers over her. Then he pulled a chair to sit by the bed.
When he thought about it, it had been a while since he lived here. This house no longer had any traces to prove that he once lived here.
‘Has she thrown out all my things?’ That thought made him frown as a sense of displeasure rose in his heart.
At that moment, Ling Yiran, who was supposed to be fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and wanted to get out of bed.
“What is it?” he asked.
With half-opened blurry eyes, she mumbled, “Water... I need water...”
She was probably feeling parched from drinking so much wine earlier.
Yi Jinli sighed and firmly sat her on the bed. “Sit here and don’t move. I’ll get you some water.”
He was worried that she might scald herself if she went to get water on her own in her current state!
She clumsily reached for the cup and gulped the water all at once before releasing a long breath. With a satisfied smile, she said, “Thanks.”
“Did you have enough? Do you want more water?” he asked her.
She cocked her head to the side as if trying to comprehend what he was saying before finally murmuring, “Sleepy... Need sleep...”
“Then just...” He could not complete the last three words ‘go to sleep’ when she had already reached out her hand and pulled him.
He was caught by surprise as she managed to pull him onto the bed with her.
In the next moment, she was already on top of him, smiling demurely as her fingers lightly traveled on the skin of his face.
“Jin...” Her gentle voice rang through his ears. Her sweet scent was mixed with the smell of wine that could intoxicate anyone. “Tell me, why are you so good looking?”
