“Brother Jingxuan, I heard from Jing Xinze that you’ll be going to personally remove Ye Erruo’s cornea for me?” asked Gu Feirou in gleeful surprise.
Her question stunned him for a bit, but he eventually parted his lips and answered, “Yes.”
The woman was overjoyed. “Really?”
“You’ve lost an eye’s vision because of her. As your husband, it’s only right that I seek justice on your behalf.”
“You’re the best!” A wide beam spread across her face.
“Of course. Now, quickly recuperate and recover so that you can better adjust to the new cornea.”
She then asked worriedly, “How are you going to get Ye Erruo’s cornea? With Mo Jiangye around, it’ll be hard for you to act. Jing Xinze!”
“Yes, Princess!”
“Assist Brother Jingxuan in this matter.”
“Rest assured, my lady. I’ll do a good job,” the man respectfully responded.
Ssk Gu Feirou let out a painful hiss after lifting a hand.
“Don’t move about. You’re hurt all over.” Lin Jingxuan quickly clasped her wrist.
A sinister look flashed across her eyes. In her opinion, taking Ye Erruo’s cornea was not enough to appease her anger. That woman’s existence was a threat to her so long as she was alive, so she had to die.
Rumble!
The recent continuous bout of rain had made the temperature of the supposedly cool mid-autumn drop even lower than what it was supposed to be.
On this cold, rainy day, Zhuang Ge Residence welcomed several new faces who were stuck in Mo Jiangye’s study to discuss something.
By the time Ye Erruo woke up, it was already past ten in the morning. Based on the lack of warmth on the other side of the bed, it was clear that her husband had been up for quite some time.
As previously agreed, she had to go to Skybridge Garden to meet Lin Jingxuan tonight. However, judging by the look of the weather outside, there was a high chance that the rain would only stop the next day. Mo Jiangye would surely not let her go out tonight.
“Young Madam, are you awake?”
“Where’s Mo Jiangye?”
“Sir is in the study.”
Dressed in her sleeping gown and comfy bedroom slippers, she brought two cups of hot milk straight to the study.
“Mo Jiangye, do you drink-”
Her voice trailed off when she saw what was going on inside the room upon opening the door.
W-What’s he doing? Why didn’t he lock the door when there are so many people around? She’d thought that he was, as usual, working alone in the study, so she’d just pushed open the door and entered without knocking, only to see several unfamiliar faces in the room.
All eyes curious, baffled, astonished, and shocked landed on her instantly.
“Shut your eyes!” The furious husband took off his jacket as he strode toward his woman to wrap it around her and push her out of the room.
“What are you doing?”
“Who allowed you to run out dressed like this?” He cornered her as he flew into a rage, emanating an air of displeasure and danger.
“...”
“Don’t you know how low the current temperature is? Don’t you feel cold in this attire? Huh? Are you doing this on purpose?”
“No. I didn’t know you had people in the study.” She pushed him away.
“No?” He turned his head to shoot a look at the cup in her hand. “Drink it on your own.”
From his peripheral vision, he noticed that the door to the study had been opened and several heads were popping out from the doorway and looking in their direction.
“Do you have a death wish?” Mo Jiangye sternly looked over his shoulders.
Whoosh The heads popping out from the door vanished in just three seconds.
“Go back and change clothes,” he ordered her, feeling extremely displeased.
