Forbidden Love

Chapter 8

During the afternoon, in the backyard of Dong Fang House, gathered a group of people. These people formed a circle which surrounded a slim figure, and from time to time came the crisp sound of bell-like laughter. Everyone's face was smiling, they were all happily watching the figure moving nimbly.

"Xiao Wu, do you see how fast I mastered this game?" Bing'er said, her youthful face displayed a magnificent smile. Whether it was a front kick or back kick, it seemed as though she was gracefully dancing. The birdie (shuttlecock) was continuously kept midair and had not fallen yet. With her graceful and charming figure, no one was able to keep their eyes off of her.

"Mn, Miss Luo is very smart, you have completely mastered the game." replied the one called Xiao Wu. His face showed a bashful expression as his eyes continue to follow her figure.

"Xiao Qing! Didn't you say that the young master's personal maidservant had an ordinary appearance? How could she have turned out to be such an angel-like beauty?" Old Zhao asked. Old Zhao, the kitchen chef arrived due to being attracted by the sound of laughter. After he arrived, he was unable to leave. Curious, he pulled and questioned the dazed Xiao Qing.

"That's because before Bing'er was in disguise. And she is no longer a maidservant, she is favored by the young master."

Xiao Qing briefly summarized what had happened. The surrounding people who listened in were all surprised. As she spoke, Xiao Qing did not take her eyes off of Bing'er, as it was her first time seeing a person kick the birdie with such gracefulness and agility. And Bing'er was a beginner too!

After Xiao Qing finished her story, the surrounding people showed a envious face. They were jealous that the blinded person could not have been themselves.

"If I could temporarily become blind in exchange for such a beauty... I am totally willing!" One of them could not help but think out loud.

"What are you all doing?"

Suddenly, a deep and unhappy voice sounded. When everyone heard, their bodies could not help but twitch in fear, and in the next moment, everyone scattered away and disappeared.

After the field was cleared, Dong Fang Ling was able to see the person he was previously looking for. Because of his sudden loud voice, it frightened Bing'er causing her to kick the birdie with too much strength. The birdie was kicked much higher and was sent a few feet away.

She let out a cry, and followed the birdie with a leap, wanting to catch it mid air. However, he jumped as well and caught her mid-air. With one arm, he circled it around her waist, and brought her to his embrace. Together, the two lightly came to the ground.

"Dong Fang Ling..." She quietly said, as her clear, glistening eyes looked at his handsome face.

"Do you not remember what I had said? And here you are... I looked all over for you." Dong Fang Ling's gloomy face stared at the person in his arms. He worried for her and had looked high and low for her, but she was having fun without a care.

Looking at her crimson cheeks and quickened breath, an unnamed fire quickly arose in his heart. She dared allow everyone to see her charming face, it should only be for him. His arms tightened his grip around her waist.

Bing'er clearly felt his anger, she could not lift her eyes to look at him. Resting her head on his chest, she meekly explained: "I knew that when you and Dong Fang Ao were discussing things, it would not finish anytime soon so I took a walk. When Xiao Wu saw how bored I was, he kindly taught me to play with a birdie. I was enjoying myself and forgot the time... "

"Kicking the birdie is fun, eh?" His handsome face looked down, though he was laughing, the laughter did not reach his eye.

"Very fu(n)-...ah!" Bing'er quickly looked up, but her smile turned stiff from looking at Dong Fang Ling's expression.
