“If you’re going to get too full of yourself, then you should stop now!” Dean got up, his perfect body bare, and walked over to Ye Ye. Did Dean just say ‘pamper’? That must mean he at least cares for her, right? Ye Ye’s heart blossomed with joy; she was actually quite easy to satisfy! “Uh, then where should I sleep? The guest room?” Knowing when to stop was one of her strengths.
“Go take a bath, then come out to sleep!” Dean pushed Ye Ye into the bathroom.
“Tell your servant to bring my bag up, my sanitary pads are inside!” Ye Ye said.
“Alright.” Dean closed the bathroom door for her.
Dean turned to the bedside table, picked up the internal phone, and coldly said, “Bring the lady’s bag up, and change the bed linens to clean ones.”
“Yes!” The maid responded promptly.
Dean walked into the bathroom and slowly stepped into the bathtub where Ye Ye was comfortably soaking. He held her without saying a word, enjoying this rare moment of warmth. After their bath, they put on bathrobes and walked out of the bathroom. The maid was changing the bed sheets; the original sheets lay on the floor, stained with a few drops of bright red and pools of water, evidence of their earlier wild passion and Ye Ye’s lost innocence…
Ye Ye picked up her bag, opened it, and quickly looked up, “Where’s my gun?” she asked the maid with wide eyes, recognizing the same maid who had looked at her with disdain when she arrived.
Dean, who had just poured himself a glass of red wine, overheard Ye Ye’s question. A gun? It seemed this little one was really not an ordinary character! He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, watching with interest to see what this little demon would do next.
The maid had just finished making the bed, turned around to face Ye Ye’s inquiry: “According to the rules, anyone coming to see the Duke cannot carry weapons, so I’ve temporarily stored your gun!”
“But who gave you the right to rummage through my bag!” Ye Ye demanded sharply.
“Earlier, the Duke asked me to bring your bag up, so I followed the rules and stored your gun!” The maid maintained her serious demeanor, not even glancing at Ye Ye.
Ye Ye was furious; she felt this maid, despite her polite and diligent attitude, actually harbored a disdain for her! “Give me my gun back right now!”
“Miss, when you leave, I will return it to you!” The maid, thinking Ye Ye was about to leave, gave a mocking smile.
“Who said I’m leaving!?” Ye Ye was really angry now; this maid was too infuriating!
“This…” The maid was at a loss for words and looked to Dean for help, expecting him to tell Ye Ye to leave.
Seeing the maid’s dismissive look towards anyone but Dean, Ye Ye strode over, hugged Dean’s waist, and said, “Dean, tell her to give me my gun back now! And, I’m staying here!”
The maid looked as if it was impossible, watching Ye Ye’s actions, waiting for Dean to refuse.
“Return the lady’s belongings to her, and she’s staying.” Dean didn’t mind helping Ye Ye bully a servant, as long as his little demon was having fun!
The maid was stunned, blinking, “Sir, is what you just said true?” completely forgetting the proper way to address Dean.
“Watch your tone! Go now!” Dean’s voice was stern, not missing the affection in the maid’s eyes for him or her disdain for Ye Ye.
“Yes!” Realizing Dean’s anger, the maid quickly responded, “Should I prepare the guest room for the lady?” she asked respectfully.
“No need, I’ll sleep here!” Ye Ye interrupted, her mood greatly improved because Dean was helping her!
“Uh…” The maid looked hesitantly at Dean, not daring to act without his approval.
“You heard her, go!” Dean indirectly confirmed Ye Ye’s words.
The maid bowed and quickly left with the changed beddings.
Ye Ye watched her flustered departure and felt the mischievous side of her nature had been well satisfied, laughing heartily.
“Satisfied?” Dean asked, indulgently rubbing her cheek.
“Hehe.” Ye Ye kissed Dean.
The door was knocked again; they knew it was the maid, so they signaled her to enter. This time, the maid respectfully handed Ye Ye her gun, “I’m sorry, Miss, for the earlier rudeness! Here you are!”
“Hmm, you can go now! Remember not to rummage through my things next time!” Ye Ye put away her playful demeanor, putting on an air of arrogance when addressing the maid. She never respected those who disrespected her, but once it was over, she wouldn’t dwell on it!
“Yes!” The maid left in fear.
Ye Ye played with her gun, and Dean, upon closer inspection, saw it was a small, intricately engraved palm pistol, about 15 cm long, undoubtedly a masterpiece from a true expert, not something an ordinary person could possess. He squinted, “Who gave it to you?” He twirled the gun in his hand.
“Uh… guess!” Ye Ye playfully said, “Dragon Realm?” Better not be, or I’ll have it destroyed on the spot!” “No, it’s not! If you want to know, you can look it up yourself!” Ye Ye said. “I’ve never been interested in checking on my lovers!” Dean said arrogantly, and it was true. Ye Ye’s face fell, and she walked back to the big bed, covering herself with the blanket; she was hurt by his word ‘lover’! She suddenly remembered what Jessica had said in the Paris restaurant, “You and I are just his mistresses!” At that time, she could confidently say it would never happen, but now, it had become a reality! The gloom in Ye Ye’s heart crept back, and she buried her face in the blanket, deciding to ignore this hurtful man in a huff! Although it was the truth, saying it out loud still hurt! Dean knew his words had touched on Ye Ye’s sensitive spot and was aware of her pride which wouldn’t tolerate others looking down on her. He opened his mouth, wanting to make amends, but in the end, he couldn’t say anything and just silently slipped into Ye Ye’s bed to sleep beside her. — With her, he had already broken many of his own rules, even if it was out of affection, he couldn’t go too far!
When Ye Ye woke up again, she looked outside the window to see that it was already bright, and Dean was no longer beside her. She sat up, still feeling sore… Checking the time, it was already 11 AM, and she was starving… Getting up, she saw several new paper bags on the couch beside the bed. Opening them, they were filled with brand new women’s outfits, complete from underwear to outerwear. Ye Ye smiled faintly. At least he was thoughtful. With a sigh, she decided to put aside the unpleasantness of the previous night; dwelling on it would only embarrass herself. She went into the bathroom to freshen up, and looking at herself in the mirror, she saw her chest covered in pink marks, which made her laugh with a bit of embarrassment. So, she indeed had the potential to fall! Glancing at the sink, she saw the bottle of perfume she had given to Dean — ‘NightSoul’. Ye Ye smiled sweetly, thinking she smelled her own scent, but it turned out he had been using it too! She happily sprayed some on her neck. — She liked Dean to carry her scent…
She chose a purple long-sleeve fitted shirt with a high neck to cover the love bites all over her body, paired with a black mini skirt. Ye Ye dressed slowly, then put on the long fur vest she had worn last night, her hair still tied in a cute bun at the back. With her mood lifted, Ye Ye leisurely went to find Dean. He wasn’t in the study, so she went downstairs. There was no one in the hall, but she saw a strange middle-aged man, to whom she politely asked, “Excuse me, where is Dean?”
Upon hearing this, the man looked surprised for a moment, then nodded slightly at her with a friendly smile, “What a coincidence, I was just about to go upstairs to wake you. The master is waiting for you in the dining room for lunch.”
“Oh, may I know your name?” Ye Ye liked this amiable and spirited middle-aged man, so she asked with a smile.
“I am the butler here, just call me Zeta,” the butler Zeta replied.
