When she woke up the next morning, the view before her eyes was one that was unfamiliar yet familiar. She remember walking into the room with her own two feets the previous night but still it was different from the view that greeted her eyes every morning she woke up.
Slowly she sat up then spent another few minutes stretching like a lazy cat before she finally rolled out of the queen sized bed and walked to the window. The rising sun smiled at her face as she pulled open the thick maroon curtains.
Momentarily she was lost in the beauty of the Dawn, a streak of golden light sprawled across the sky that was adorned a warm blue colour, bringing to the heart of the beholder a feeling of peace and harmony, birds did their duty of singing nature up from sleep as the cool morning blew the dews that had yet falling around, making the atmosphere feel quite cold.
Yu xiao yan stood there and watched the sun rise out from behind the clouds, it crept so slowly that you would never be able to notice it was actually moving. Then as if shouting 'get to work you ingrates!' it shone down its harsh rays on the earth, cutting down the sleep of a hundreds, with only a few lazy bones left.
Knock! knock!
a sound of fingers rapping on wood resounded throughout the room but the door didn't swing open to she gave confirmation to whosoever was there to come in.
a young lady walked into the room, she looked calm and collected, her eyes lively yet restrained. it was no doubt that this was someone who has undergone training character wise and otherwise.
with a small smile the girl greeted "good morning ma'am"
"good morning" Yu xiao yan greeted back then signalled for the girl to come in. The girl walked in with a handful of things, she walked to the bed and placed the clothes and accessories on the bed.
"my master said I should give you this, he asked that you get dressed and come down for breakfast"
"okay I'll be down in a minute" she told the girl then turned to checkout the dress that had been delivered, it was a simple red gown, it had no exquisite design but yet looked very beautiful, coupled with the stiletto heels that was delivered along with it, she could already imagine how beautiful the two would fit.
'your master really know my taste' she thought amused but in the next second the amusement on her face crumbled into confusion and then shock and fright.
wait a minute, master?... Master!
Ji Zifeng!
how could she have forgotten that Ice king! She had forgotten that she was currently in that Asura's house, she who had woken up in a good mood and have also forgotten the tension of yesterday night.
After leaving that Mr Ye's place, Ji zifeng didn't utter a word, he totally behaved like Ike there was no one in the car with him. he didn't have a frown on his face, infact there was a slight smile on his lips but only Yu xiao yan knew that the smile was that of a hell raiser. Even when they got to his place, he casually got out of the car and walked away still ignoring.
It seems the relationship between those two men were as rigid as ice, she felt like she had shot herself in her foot, if she had known a five minutes visit to that man's house would push him to the verge of sending out a nuclear weapon, she would not have asked Shi Zeyi to ask for his help.
but it wasn't her fault too! How was she supposed to know that they knew each other and were stark enemies at that. Most especially she didn't expect that the God will come himself.
aish what was she going to do now?... and she was about having breakfast with him, she only prays that the long night was effective in alleviating his anger.
She could only get dress reluctantly then head downstairs to the dining room. From the staircase she looked at the man seated at the dining table. Was it his overly handsome face, or his dignified mannerism?, it might be either or neither but this young man had the air of a king. The aura of Superiority boomed out from his bones even all he was doing was sitting there and flipping through the pages of the newspaper in his hands.
Looking aside his handsome face, Yu xiao yan hid at the stairs and tried to see if he was still as riled as the previous night, his eyes were lowered deep into the papers he was reading and had that smile in his face yet it felt different this time, she couldn't tell if he was angry or not, but even if she knew how he felt, it wasn't like she was going to jump out her window and run away without seeing him, right?
Taking in a deep breath, she mustered up all her courage and began walking down the stairs.
"I thought you would spend the whole day at the stairs" The man's calm voice rang out, he casually put down the papers the turned and stared at her.
Yu xiao yan felt her heart skip a beat, it appears he knew she was hiding at the stairs and looking at him, it was useless denying it so she forced a cute chuckle and said "Bro Zi looks especially handsome this morning I could help but look" as she said this she searched his face to see if he was angry, the man's face was calm like a still water, the corner of his lips tugged beautifully into his cheeks but yet he emitted not even an ounce of happiness.
His voice sounded out again "more handsome than he was?"
Yu xiao yan choked on her spit, if she had known speaking about being handsome would inadvertently turn the conversation to the handsom_ I mean not handsome man of last night, she wouldn't have said it.
Time to bring up her flattering prowess!
