Chapter 182: I Will Kill You If You Wake Her Up!

“Xu Xu?” Ye Erruo’s hand reached for his notebook as Mo Jiangye hastily restrained her.

“Are you that idle?” He warned her in a whisper.

“Yes, boss! Are you talking to me or sister-in-law?”

He shot a glance at the monitor without a word and continued to blow dry her hair. There was no way he would allow another man to catch her looking like this!

“What’s wrong?”

“Ignore him,” he retorted gently. “In the future, don’t wash your hair before you go to bed at night. It’s not good for you!”

“Why is that?”

“There’s no particular reason.” After putting down the hairdryer, he used the towel to dry her hair again.

“You should have an early night. I’ll go to the study.”

She grabbed hold of his hand. “I’m not sleepy.”

A few minutes later, she was resting comfortably on his lap, wearing her headphones while leisurely swiping on the screen of her smartphone. The man had switched his meeting from video to audio mode by then. One of his hands was hugging her on the bed, while the other hand was busy typing away on the keyboard. The sound of fluent English spoken in his husky voice stood out in the spacious bedroom.

She was fast asleep in his lap after a couple of hours. He stealthily put her headphones and cell phone on the table next to him, pulled the quilt over her snugly, and then got back to work after the call.

He finally finished what he was doing after two in the morning. When he looked down at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms, his heart melted at the sight of her gentle, peaceful face.

Thinking of supper, he went downstairs to grab a bite. However, when he returned to the bedroom to hug her to sleep, he noticed a red creature lying next to the woman’s pillow. His face sank instantly.

When did this d*mned thing appear?!

“Wuuu…” The little fellow blinked its big, beady eyes at the man a couple of times with a dazed look on its face.

Everyone working at the residence had been tense and nervous in the past few days because their mistress had gone missing. Now that she had been found, they were hoping to get a good night’s sleep. Alas, trouble erupted in the middle of the night!

In the living room, he interrogated his servant with an irate look. “Didn’t I tell you to dump this ugly dog out of the house?”

“M-Master… Madam told us to keep it for the time being.”

“How could this thing have found its way here? Is it smart enough to know where to go?”

“M-Master, Red Bean was kept in another room. It gave me the slip when I went in to clean the place. I looked for it for a long time, but I couldn’t find its hiding place.” To be fair, the servants had looked high and low for the dog in the vicinity many times, so they had been pretty sure that it had not escaped from the front yard, where it had been kept. How had the creature ended up in the room at the back of the house?

They could only consider themselves unlucky to end up in this predicament!

“L-Let me go up and bring it down now,” the maid stuttered.

The man could not be pacified. His face was frosty as he barked, “I’ll kill you if you wake her up!”

The servant shuddered. She was only going to take the dog away from her mistress. How would she wake the lady from her slumber?

The lights next to the bed were dim inside the room. There it was, curled up on the pillow next to the woman, sound asleep!

The servant cautiously walked up to the creature. She was about to pick it up when the dog flickered its eyes wide open all of a sudden. Its eyes shone warily and maliciously at the servant, and it looked ready to attack at any time.

As the maid approached, it bared and snapped its teeth at her outstretched hand.

“Ah!” The servant withdrew her hand hurriedly as she immediately covered her mouth with the other at the same time.

The man, who was standing not far away, looked at the maid as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

As for the little creature, it merely shifted and lay comfortably back on the pillow once more before glimpsing leisurely at the humans staring at it, its furry tail sweeping the side of its mistress’s face.
