Chapter 21: Chapter 21 She is Covered with the Young Master’s Blanket
The servants whispered softly, unable to make sense of it.
She had chosen to sleep on the couch, yet she was covered with a blanket. She recognized that blanket, it was from the young master’s bedroom.
With the young master’s temperament of not sharing anything with anyone, not even the second miss could touch his belongings.
Yet now, the young master’s blanket was on her, which was odd.
So, it must be that this young lady had a peculiar habit of liking to sleep on the couch…
“Alright, go clean and prepare two breakfasts. Be quiet, don’t wake up this young lady,” Aunt Li whispered.
By the time Gu Annan came out of the bedroom and started downstairs, he halted halfway.
The several servants on the first floor were quietly busy, while the woman on the couch was still in a deep sleep.
He had thought that once the servants opened the door in the morning, she would be eager to leave.
“Young master,” Aunt Li approached as Gu Annan descended, “breakfast is ready, shall we wake this young lady up?”
Gu Annan withdrew his gaze from the couch and silently headed to the dining room.
Aunt Li walked over to the couch and gently tapped Lu Wanwan, “Miss, could you wake up?”
Lu Wanwan opened her eyes and immediately sat up.
The curtains in the villa were all drawn open, and the bright natural light was beautifully scattered.
She had always had trouble sleeping, yet she had managed to sleep until daylight on Gu Annan’s couch.
“I’m sorry, I overslept,” she said, looking down at the thin blanket on her, soft and warm, no wonder it felt so cozy.
When she had first laid down, she remembered feeling a bit cold, holding only the throw pillow from the couch for warmth.
Where was the throw pillow she’d been holding?
Lu Wanwan looked around and saw a discarded pillow not far away on the floor.
That probably wasn’t thrown by her, it was tossed too far…
“Thank you,” Lu Wanwan said gratefully, standing up and handing back the thin blanket to Aunt Li, “I’m really sorry for the trouble. You should have woken me up earlier…”
She assumed Aunt Li had brought the blanket over to cover her.
Aunt Li took the blanket, thought for a moment, but did not clarify, simply saying, “Miss, breakfast is ready; please come have something to eat first.”
Lu Wanwan rubbed her temples, suddenly remembering something.
She checked her phone, which had automatically turned off due to a dead battery.
“What time is it now?” she asked.
Aunt Li answered, “It’s seven-thirty in the morning now.”
She breathed a sigh of relief, she wasn’t late yet, but the time was tight since leaving from here wasn’t easy and might take quite some time.
“I won’t eat, I must be going,” she said, hastily standing up.
Aunt Li paid no mind to her words and called a servant, “Take this young lady to the washroom.”
“I’m really sorry but I really don’t have time, thank you for your kindness,” Lu Wanwan insisted.
“I’m sorry, miss, but this is the young master’s order,” Aunt Li replied with a smile.
Hearing that, Lu Wanwan was led away by the servant in a daze.
After freshening up, she was brought to the dining room.
The floor-to-ceiling windows next to the dining room were open, and the morning sun slanted in.
Gu Annan sat at the dining table, the morning light casting a golden glow over him, rendering him breathlessly perfect.
Lu Wanwan approached him, but he did not look up.
Gracefully holding a knife and fork, his cold indifference beneath his expressionless face, even the sunshine seemed a bit chilly.
Lu Wanwan had resolved not to deal with him last night, and now even more so, she had the notion to turn around and leave.
“Sit down!” Gu Annan commanded in a softly cold voice, his authority palpable.
