Chapter １５

    She is delighted to eat and drink freely without having Mr. King around! "But ..." Maid Chen appears to be struggling for Mr. King to be gone for so long.

An Taotao didn't want to listen anymore, so she picked up a piece of bread and walked back to the house. Maid Chen looked at her back, suddenly frustrated.

Back to the house, An Taotao stood by the window, eating bread and looking at the scenery outside the window.

Just as she was in a trance, there was a sudden opening sound behind her, and she looked back at the door with conditioned reflex. With just a glance at Mr. King’s appearance, and she froze, her heart almost stopped beating and asked, "Mr. King, when did you come back?"

  Mr. King stepped on his boots and approached step by step. "You don't want me to come back, and you hate me too, right?" 

       An Taotao swallowed nervously and looked down, afraid to look at him again: "No, you’re wrong."

Mr. King closed the door behind him, and the bright room got a little dimmer. As he approached step by step, An Taotao leaned against the window, panicking and terrified.

"No? That's not what you said that night." Mr. King stared at her, his dark eyes reflecting the two small An Taotao's eyes. 

      An Taotao didn't think he remembered that night, and Mr. King is forcing her to look into his eyes, breathing depressed. "No? You were drunk at that time. Did I do something wrong?"

   Her face turned pale, and her voice grew lighter. When Mr. King saw her face horrified, he felt a moment of joy in his heart. He likes to see her panic, terrified, and squirm, just like a poor little white rabbit, "It may be wrong." Mr. King's thin lips slightly said with a straight face.

An Taotao blinked, and her vigilance dissipated a little. So you can get away with it? It seems that everything is so easy for you. It feels so unreal.

An Taotao was weak in her heart. She fastened the curtain cloth, and her heart became nervous. Suddenly, Mr. King took her and sat on the edge of the bed. "I will give you something." An Taotao felt the heat on him and suddenly remembered that terrible night. She couldn't help shaking, and a cold sweat came out.

        She resisted and asked in a normal tone, "What is it?"

      Mr. King handed her a beautiful little box. "Open it for yourself." An Taotao stared at the box in her hand, which was very beautiful and delicate but made her feel uneasy. There won't be bombs, murder weapons, or anything like that.

An Taotao swallowed fearfully and hesitated. Can she open it? "Why don't you open it?" Mr. King frowned lightly, and his face seemed unhappy.

       Even if she’s afraid, An Taotao didn’t hesitate and opened the brocade box slowly. Lying in the brocade box is a blue ribbon as transparent as water, which is very beautiful. The ribbon has a leather bow, which is in full bloom, with a beautiful pattern. It wasn't a weapon or explosive like what she has in mind, which surprised her and made her breathe a little more freely. 

      However, this bow with a decorative pattern makes An Taotao suddenly feel that this grain is familiar, and she seems to have seen it somewhere, but she can't remember. 

         "Do you like it?" Mr. King's thin lips were light, and his eyes were full of meaning.

An Taotao was a little uncomfortable when he stared at her. She nodded her head and said, "It's beautiful, and I like it very much!" Mr. King picked up the ribbon in the brocade box with one hand and caressed her long black hair with his other hand.

An Taotao felt that he had touched her hands again, and her heart was shocked, and her scalp gradually became numb. Mr. King combed her long hair with his fingers and tied it with the ribbon. "It looks great on you, and you should always wear it in the future, okay?"

Even forced her to wear this ribbon? What a devil. An Taotao slandered in her heart, but he nodded cleverly on the surface. Mr. King's hand slowly moved and caressed the tear mole on her face. "The snake king, I didn't find. So I bought another snake king."

      "Ah?" Mr. King suddenly changed the subject to let An Taotao not react at the moment, but on the surface, he still pretended to be a clever nod.

      Then she had an epiphany and finally knew why the patterns on the ribbon were familiar because those patterns were the same as those on the snake king!

But the snake king's body has long been buried by her, so this should just be a coincidence. Several thoughts went through her head as well. Mr. King closed all her expressions and kept a closer eye on her. Her face is vivid, from confusion to being suddenly enlightened to peace of mind. An Taotao eyeball kept wandering.

      An Taotao didn't know what he was thinking. Mr. King gathered his eyes, which were deep.  She stretched out her hand and tied the bow on the ribbon. The leather things felt very smooth and had an indescribable coolness.

It felt like a snakeskin. An Taotao became goosebumps at the thought, but even if Mr. King were strange, she wouldn't be so disgusted. She leaned over and looked at Mr. King carefully, only to find that he still had a document in his hand, which has a seal on it and didn't know what was inside.

Maybe an insight into her thoughts. Mr. King gave her the file and twitched his eyebrows, inviting her to open it. An Taotao took it suspiciously. What would be inside the envelope? After taking a deep breath, she opened the envelope, filled with two admissions profiles of private schools in the city.

An Taotao looked at the two profiles. What is this? Does it mean that Mr. King wants her to study? "Mr. King, what is this for?" An Taotao holds two profiles, but she was unsure. Mr. King's legs crossed, and her knuckled thumb rubbed on her tears. 

        Mr. King, "Which school do you prefer? Well, tell me later on, you can report tomorrow."

"Ah?" An Taotao didn't dare to hide, but she was surprised. He even lets her go to study, she thought she would be treated as a canary when she came to this place, and this villa is her cage. Is this an enticement, a temptation, or a way to see her pity?

Taotao licked her lips uncomfortably, and her whole heart paused. Because she was afraid to speak, she was scared to say more and make more mistakes. 

       "Don't you like it?" Mr. King frowned, and the air temperature changed.

These two are the best private universities in the city. An Taotao trembled all over and asked boldly, "Master Jiu, may I ask, why did you suddenly allow me to attend school?"

       Mr. King gently pinched her chin, her eyes slightly deepened. “I would never allow my bride to be uneducated.” 

       An Taotao raised her eyebrows in anger, and her heart clenched in frustration and replied, "I see."

An Taotao should absolve this guy of his lack of culture. She is also one of the top students in the country. An Taotao hummed softly that gave Mr. King a needle in his heart.         

        "Did I say something wrong?" Mr. King raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were gloomy.

An Taotao was shocked and immediately answered, "You’re right, Mr. King, I am quite uneducated. I think this school called Heatherweis is good, could I attend there?" When the words fell, An Taotao's eyes flashed lightly, with joy, but also with a light as bright as a pearl, which was unlike the usual darkness.
