Moyi walked closer and sat down by the bed, his fingers sliding across her cheek. He softly sighed, “If only you could always be this well-behaved.” Tucking her messy hair behind her ear, he noticed a red mark on her cheek. Damn imperial physician, didn’t they say she would be fine? Why was there still a mark? Though, it wasn’t noticeable unless looked at closely.
He stroked her soft hair, preparing to continue reading the memorials, but just as he was about to get up, he was pulled back by the woman on the bed.
“Hey-” Moyi had to give up on reading the memorials and sat down by the bed again, only to find that she hadn’t actually woken up, but had instinctively grabbed onto him.
Sighing helplessly, did she know that this posture and these actions could be quite provocative?
Mei Kai’ye ran to Mo Yi’s side and sat down, looking like two close buddies. “Mowater, you’re doing well, right?”
“…” Well? Yes, very well. He was still hurting from the punch she gave him yesterday. Mo Yi nodded thoughtfully.
“So, can you let me off?”
“No.” He was resolute.
“I’m just a penniless weak woman.” Mei Kai’ye blinked innocently. “Are you really going to make things difficult for me?”
Mo Yi glanced at her, then lowered his head again, “Behave! If you have no money, you’ll be my maidservant!”
“Maidservant?”
“I’m not in a hurry. You can pay me back slowly.”
“I don’t want to!” Mei Kai’ye refused outright.
“There’s a way you don’t have to pay back money.” Mo Yi pondered.
Mei Kai’ye added some tea for Mo Yi and urged, “Quickly tell me.”
Mo Yi took a sip of tea and casually said, “Become my concubine!”
“No!” Mei Kai’ye choked, “That’s just another form of exploitation! Being a concubine is worse than being a maidservant!”
Mo Yi’s expression darkened, “What’s wrong with that?
“Ugh, just dressing up every day, competing with so many concubines,” Mei Kai’ye looked disgusted, muttering, “Waiting every day for this bastard to spend the night, carefully serving…” Ptui!
