Chapter 44

‘Why?’ Hao Yan Che asked.
‘My Xiao Chi has a strong sense of smell like young master,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘One day, my parents’ maid ate expired food. She vomited, and Xiao Chi fainted from the vomit odor. Don’t you think it’s pitiful?’
Hao Yan Che didn’t hesitate to knock Yuan Gun Gun’s head.
‘Don’t tell me, Xiao Chi is Da Chi’s child,’ Hao Yan Che said.
Yuan Gun Gun rubbed her head that was often sore since she met Hao Yan Che. He closed his eyes again, and she thought he was asleep.
‘I’ll kill you if you dare eat expired food and vomit,’ Hao Yan Che said.
Yuan Gun Gun giggled.
‘Young master, don’t worry,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘I won’t eat expired food and make you faint.’
Hao Yan Che knocked Yuan Gun Gun’s head again.
‘Ow…’ Yuan Gun Gun said.
The following day, the servants speculated Yuan Gun Gun was their future young mistress because their young master slept in the garden with Yuan Gun Gun last night.
In the study room, Yuan Gun Gun smiled innocently at Hao Yan Che.
‘Young master,’ Yuan Gun Gun said and smiled sweetly.
‘Your tail is showing,’ Hao Yan Che said.
Yuan Gun Gun rubbed her bottom.
‘No tail,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.
‘Your apron,’ Hao Yan Che said.
Yuan Gun Gun looked down at her apron.
‘Oh, it’s not Xiao Bi’s tail,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.
‘Yuan Gun Gun!’ Hao Yan Che called.
Yuan Gun Gun covered her ears.
‘I’m here,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.
‘Do you think I’ll do nothing to you?’ Hao Yan Che asked.
‘Young master…’ Yuan Gun Gun said.
‘Be quiet,’ Hao Yan Che said. ‘I don’t want to hear your explanation. Go wash up and get rid of that repulsive perfume on you.’
‘Young master, my mummy told me this perfume is a subtle smell,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘It’s not repulsive.’
Hao Yan Che knocked Yuan Gun Gun’s head.
‘Go take a bath,’ Hao Yan Che said.
Yuan Gun Gun rubbed her head, she walked outside and cursed the scary monster.
Hao Yan Che grabbed a cold bottle of water from the fridge, he drank it in one gulp and cursed the oblivious rice ball.
After a bath, Yuan Gun Gun massaged Hao Yan Che’s back to sooth him.
‘Next time if you let me see them, I’ll…’ Hao Yan Che said.
‘You’ll hit me,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘I remember. You say that to me all the time.’
‘Yuan Gun Gun, this is my final warning,’ Hao Yan Che said. ‘Don’t think I wouldn’t do anything to you.’
‘Yes young master,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.
‘Go get my watch I left at the swimming pool,’ Hao Yan Che said.
Yuan Gun Gun let go of Hao Yan Che’s shoulders and she walked toward the swimming pool.
Hao Yan Che put the reports on the desk, and he grabbed a bottle of red wine from the bar.
At the swimming pool, Yuan Gun Gun found Hao Yan Che’s watch on a table.
‘Gun Gun,’ Qiang Jia Tao called.
‘Big sister Jia Tao,’ Yuan Gun Gun greeted.
‘What are you doing here?’ Qiang Jia Tao asked.
‘Getting young master’s watch,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.
‘Let’s go,’ Qiang Jia Tao said.
Qiang Jia Tao linked arms with Yuan Gun Gun and made Yuan Gun Gun walked close to the edge of the swimming pool.
‘Gun Gun, I’m sorry about last time,’ Qiang Jia Tao said. ‘I shouldn’t have suggested you hide your small friends in young master’s room.’
‘Big sister Jia Tao, it’s not your fault,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘It wouldn’t matter where I hide my small friends. Young master would still find them, because he has a strong sense of smell.’
‘I’m sorry,’ Qiang Jia Tao said. ‘I didn’t know.’
