Guardian angel

Tang Xiu Ying walked outside into the livingroom. She froze when she saw Duke laying in the carpet.

Yes, she already met him and she knew she shouldn't be scared of him, but how could she not be scared?... he's a freaking TIGER!!!

Duke sensed her movements and turned towards her. He looked at her, but Tang Xiu Ying felt like Duke was seeing deep into her soul.

Duke was about to move towards her when he heard... "Duke!!!" Yang Jia called out as she walked into the livingroon.

Duke immediately stood up an ran towards her.

Yang Jia hugged him, patted him, and gave him light kisses around his face.

Tang Xiu Ying stood there with her mouth agape. How can Yang Jia act like that towards a white TIGER?... What's even more surprising is that Duke greets her with much more enthusiasm than Yang Jia does.

After a few rounds of strokes and kisses, Yang Jia finally diverted her attention from Duke. She stood back up and noticed Tang Xiu Ying.

"Good morning, How was your sleep?" Yang Jia said

Tang Xiu Ying noticed that Yang Jia was talking to her and answered "Honestly, this is the best sleep I had since years"

Yang Jia's eyebrow rose "Really?" she asked

Tang Xiu Ying nodded as she said "Yes, you should've seen my bed. It is hard as rock, possibly even harder"

"They treated you that badly?" So the Tang family actually treated her horribly, even inside the residence.

Tang Xiu Ying lowered her head not wanting to remember how many times she was treated as a slave for the Tang family. "Yes" She said in a hushed voice.

Yang Jia felt bad for asking that question. She didn't want Tang Xiu Ying to recall those terrible moments. She wanted to cheer her up, so she joked "Well, now you can say goodbye to that bed... You can now break up with it."

Tang Xiu Ying laughed at her comment and played along "Definitely, that bed and I were never compatible in the first place... I'm kinda glad I cheated on it with this bed"

Yang Jia burst into laughter when she heard her last sentence. "Hahaha, Definitely... Okay now, let's go have breakfast" she changed the topic. She gestured Tang Xiu Ying to follow her as she was going to the kitchen table.

"Good morning, Aunt Mei" Yang Jia greeted her.

"Good morning, Young Miss" Aunt Mei greeted her back as she started serving breakfast. When she was done. She slightly bowed to Yang Jia and Tang Xiu Ying before she excused herself.

Yang Jia and Tang Xiu Ying sat down at the table and started eating. "After this, we're going house hunting for you" Yang Jia said.

Tang Xiu Ying nodded and started eating her breakfast.

After they were done, Tang Xiu Ying was going to grab her purse when she noticed she didn't have it. She looked around, hoping that she could spot it somewhere, but she knew that the possibility was slim.

"Is something the matter?" Yang Jia asked as she noticed Tang Xiu Ying panick.

"Urgh, I think I forgot my wallet at the Resort. It had my ID card and some other important stuff like the one and only picture of my mother" She said in with a tone mixed with furstration and panick.

Yang Jia hold her arm and assured her "Don't worry, we'll find a way to get it back"

Hearing her words calmed down her anxious heart. She smiled at Yang Jia "Oh Jia... How could I ever repay you. I'm so grateful that I've met you. You're literally my guardian angel."

Yang Jia smiled at her and said "I don't think angel is the right word to describe me, but if is that what you think I'll just let it be...

Now let's go house hunting and shopping because why not?" She added in order to change the conversation.

"But" Before Tang Xiu Ying could resist, Yang Jia interrupted her.

"No buts, I don't care if you have money or not. I'm the one who's going to be paying... and plus I have plenty of money. What's the point of having money if you don't have anything to waste it on?" She said sternly. Clearly, she wasn't going to back down.

Tang Xiu Ying sighed helplessly and didn't have any other choice, but to let her be.

Yang Jia and Tang Xiu Ying walked toward the livingroom where Duke was laying on the soft carpet. Yang Jia gave him a few goodbye kisses before She and Tang Xiu Ying walked out of the Zhi Villa.

Uncle Bai held the door open for them to walk out. Yang Jia froze on her spot and turned to Uncle Bai and asked "Uncle Bai, where's Liang Guozhi?"

"Young Miss, Young Master informed me to inform you that he had to go on a business trip and that he won't be back until a few days" Uncle Bai answered.

Yang Jia frowned 'Why didn't he tell me that he's going on a business trip?'

She contemplated for a few seconds when her eyes widened in realization 'Is that the reason why he waited for me in my room last night? To tell me that he wasn't going to be here for the next few days' She wondered.

"Okay, thank you for informing me" Yang Jia said politely before she walked away with Tang Xiu Ying.

The Driver was already waiting for them beside the car. He gentlemanly opened the door to the back seats to let Yang Jia and Tang Xiu Ying inside the car. He closed the door and went to the driver's seat.

"So, which house do you want to live in? The sky is the limit" Yang Jia asked.

Tang Xiu Ying said in a worried tone "I feel like you're spoiling me too much ever since we met"

Yang Jia made a solemn look "What's wrong with giving things to my friend? This money that I have is not meant for me to keep it. Is meant to be shared with my loved ones and closest friends. Doing this makes me happy... So please! Let me be happy with what I love doing the most" She said in a pleading tone.

Tang Xiu Ying was speechless. This time she couldn't find any words to refute.

"So?... Where do you want to live in?" Yang Jia asked again.

Tang Xiu Ying sighed helplessly once again. Now she knew that Yang Jia was a very stubborn woman. There was no way she would budge.

Tang Xiu Ying thought about it before she answered "I don't want a big house or a house in general. I feel like if I get a house, I will just live in solitude for the rest of my life. I don't want an apartment either... I want an open and comfortable place to live like a... Loft"
