Xiao Yao glared at him, originally wanting to say, "Even if you say it a third time, what can you do?"
But upon meeting his pair of cold, resolute eyes, she suddenly lost all her courage.
Don't provoke him; there will be no good outcome!
In the end, she huffed indignantly and turned her back to him.
Feng Ye Xuan's gaze locked onto her retreating figure.
She was a bit thin, looking undernourished. If she ate a little more and gained some weight, perhaps she would resemble her more.
He had originally planned to bring this girl back and stare at her back, watching and watching.
After a long time, he might grow tired of it, and then he wouldn't be thinking about this back all day.
This way, he shouldn't have any more unusual reactions towards Li'er.
But this time, it was again beyond Feng Ye Xuan's expectations.
He looked at Xiao Yao's back, and instead of becoming disgusted, he found himself getting sleepy as he watched.
A feeling of peace.
Finally, he raised his hand and threw a quilt beside Xiao Yao.
He turned around and closed his eyes.
"Don't you dare step out half a step, or I'll break your legs."
His voice was thick with sleepiness, a little hoarse.
After that, there was no more movement, as if he had fallen asleep.
Xiao Yao yawned, and finally, unable to resist the drowsiness, she rolled up in the quilt and fell asleep in a daze.
Should she escape tomorrow morning?
No, why not escape tonight?
Hmm, probably because she was afraid he would break her legs.
The dog prince was cruel and ruthless, and he kept his word; he would really break her legs…
One way or another, she just slept through the night.
...
She slept not just until dawn.
When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Feng Ye Xuan was a little stunned.
He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time.
But he quickly realized something was wrong; there was still someone else in the room.
A little girl curled up in a quilt, sleeping on the floor, Xiao Yao!
Feng Ye Xuan's face darkened. He rolled off the bed and quickly walked to Xiao Yao's side.
"You dare to stay overnight in my chambers!"
Enraged, he grabbed the quilt and, along with Xiao Yao, threw them both out.
As she was being thrown out, Xiao Yao had just woken up. She had no defense whatsoever. With a thud, she was thrown out the door, quilt and all.
Simply, utterly humiliated!
Fortunately, there was a thick quilt beneath her, otherwise, she would have definitely fallen hard.
"Dog prince!" Xiao Yao was furious. She leaped up from the ground and glared at the room door, which he had slammed shut with his palm, stomping her feet in anger.
"You forced me to stay, and you said you'd break my legs if I ran! What does that have to do with me?"
This scoundrel of a man was truly a scoundrel!
Through the door, Feng Ye Xuan listened to Xiao Yao's angry scolding, and his consciousness slowly returned to his mind.
He had just woken up, and his reason was not yet back. He hadn't recalled everything that happened last night.
But his chambers, apart from Li'er, were not allowed to have any other girl stay overnight.
That's why he had thrown her out the moment he saw her.
So it was he who had ordered her to stay? He had almost forgotten.
Leng Ji didn't know what had happened, but judging by the situation, Miss Xiao Yao had stayed overnight in Prince Xuan's chambers?
Leng Ji, who had come to serve the prince his morning routine, was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.
"Miss Xiao Yao, how could you..."
"Ask your prince!" Xiao Yao snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Since he had thrown her out, did that mean he no longer wanted her as a "maid"?
Fine, she didn't want to stay either.
If not now, then when?
However, just as she took a step to leave, the door behind her was opened, and a tall figure stood leaning against the door, bathed in the sunlight.
His voice was chillingly cold: "When did I permit you to leave?"
