Shui’er couldn’t help but open her eyes wide, looking at the beautiful scene before her, excitedly exclaiming: “Madam, how did you manage to do this?”
“Shh—”
I quickly covered her lips, giving her a sideways glance, and softly reminded: “Have you forgotten that we’re currently spying?”
Are you trying to make sure everyone discovers us with your loud voice?”
Shui’er then realized her mistake, pursed her lips, and nervously tugged at my clothes, her eyes filled with apology: “Sorry, I was just too excited for a moment!”
I dismissively curled my lips: “What’s there to be excited about? If this were in modern times, with fireworks and colorful lights, that would be beautiful! If we added some music, it would be even more perfect!”
Shui’er couldn’t help but frown and ask: “Madam, what are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘modern’? What are fireworks and colorful lights? Why have I never heard of these things you’re talking about?”
I stared intently at the two people upstairs, and for her string of questions, I couldn’t be bothered to explain, impatiently waving my hand: “There are many things you haven’t heard of. I don’t have time to explain slowly now, just pretend you didn’t hear anything!”
Shui’er was unwilling to let it go and muttered under her breath: “But I clearly did hear it! Besides, what harm would it do for you to answer?”
I was so annoyed by her that I finally growled: “Are you going to be this troublesome? Believe me, I’ll have the steward take you to do work somewhere else right now!”
That guy reluctantly opened his eyes, and the moment he saw me, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply: “How are you here?”
I stared at him coldly and said sternly: “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?”
The guy seemed to suddenly realize something, his gaze sweeping between me and himself, and a hint of apology crossed his handsome face: “Sorry, I was drunk last night, I, I… I didn’t…”
I couldn’t help but widen my eyes, staring at him in despair: “You didn’t what?”
The guy’s long, dark eyelashes blinked twice, then he lowered his eyes: “Sorry, we were both drunk last night. I will take responsibility for you!”
