The man was already looking at her.
’’Go on, baby! Work hard. I am rooting for you!"
Eh... Watching her swinging her fist up in the air like an obsessed fangirl, Ji Yan’s worldview changed.
To top it off, Adrian responded to Ella’s nonsense, ’’Okay.’’
One person started working while the other flipped the magazine in a leisurely manner.
Only Ji Yan was left standing there looking at the scene with complicated emotions. How come his second master who had been looking deathly pale and sickly without having proper meals or sleep for days suddenly looked so rejuvenated in a matter of an hour?
He couldn’t help but think of Ronan’s accusation that Ella impacted Adrian negatively?
Suddenly, he realized that while Miss Yu really seemed to be the cause of Second Master’s wounds, she was also the only one who could heal them.
And he did not know if it was a good thing or not.
Half an hour later, Ella was deep asleep on the couch.
But her sleeping posture was so weird that she kept frowning.
Suddenly, she felt a gentle touch on her thigh, as if someone was caressing her wound.
Then, right after, she felt a layer of warmth enveloping her and something soft touched the back of her head.
In her dream, she was laying on the open grass and looking at the vast expanse of blue sky. Suddenly, a fat cow approached her and nuzzled its nose on her wounded leg.
Then it sat in front of her before tugging her head to his soft belly.
Ella found it way too comfortable. She leaned in and nuzzled her face everywhere before she found a better position and slept peacefully.
Hours later, Ella finally stirred.
After having gotten a good sleep, she stretched her limbs with a huge smile.
As her blurred vision gradually adjusted to the lights, she remained in that position, gently blinking until...
Ella’s eyes widened and her heart sped up.
At once, she sat up. But in her haste, she forgot about her current body structure.
She could barely sit up without support so she plopped back on Adrian’s thigh like a plump dumpling.
’’I am sorry... Did I hurt you?" Her eyes widened. Why wasn’t he speaking? Did she crush him?
When she looked up slowly, the man was looking at her calmly, his face like that of a sculpture.
In his hand, he was holding a file. And amidst all her chaotic movements, he seemed to be sitting there unmoved.
"I am awake... I very much am...’’ Ella smiled, embarrassed, as she propped herself on both her elbows before sitting up this time.
Adrian glanced at her, unfazed.
Then he closed the file and threw it to the coffee table before getting up.
At this moment, Ella noticed the absence of another being around, ’’Baby, where is Riri?"
Before Adrian could answer, the office door opened and Nanny Ji Yan stepped inside, holding an obedient looking puppy in his arms.
Ella burst out in laughter, ’’He sure seems to be fond of you.’’
Ji Yan gave a ’scile’—neither a smile nor a scream.
When they left the place, Ella realized that the building was mostly empty. Except for the chambers in the upper floor where she could see shadows of people loitering around.
These must be the chosen corporate rats who differentiated in no day or night while working.
"Baby, are we having dinner together?" Ella turned to Adrian the moment the car pulled up in front of the mansion.
After all, she would be leaving soon so it would be a good thing to appease this big devil’s stomach while she was at it.
’’Oh yes, we are surely having dinner together!" A voice came from inside before a man appeared in Ella’s view, ’’What? You don’t look so pleased to see me around?"
Ronan turned to Adrian, ’’I have been waiting for so long just to eat with you guys. But you were so late that I started wondering if someone here caused you trouble again?"
Ella glared at him. It was difficult as it was to appease Adrian. Why was this homewrecker always ready to aggravate him?
Did someone cause you trouble?
Didn’t it sound more like—Oh, with your troublemaker wife around, I can’t help but worry if you died or something!
At this moment, Ji Yan approached Adrian and whispered something in his ear.
The man’s leisurely expressions were immediately replaced by a stormy gaze.
Danger alarms rang in Ella’s head.
From her experience of past life, Ella understood it.
Adrian had this sort of reaction in only two situations. It was either when she provoked him or if it was related to the main mansion.
The dynamics of the King Family was complicated and if her guess was not wrong then this Adrian would probably leave for the Main mansion at this moment.
As expected, while Adrian had a cloud of displeasure forming above his head, Ji Yan stepped forward to answer, ’’Miss Yu, the Second Master has to visit the main mansion. As for the dinner together...’’
’’No worries! No worries at all!" Ella did not know what she said wrong but the entire Eve Mansion was enshrouded in darkness.
The black cloud above Adrian’s head seemed to be ready to suck life essence of the mortals.
Suddenly, the girl in the distance stepped close and pressed a palm on his shoulder.
Under everyone’s stunned gazes, she stood on her tiptoes and leaned in for a kiss.
At the last moment, she lost her balance and almost fell.
The kiss meant for the lips landed on Adrian’s neck.
Ella cursed inwardly. She was more determined to lose weight and keep her figure optimised.
If this happened every time she tried to gain the devil’s favour, then won’t she never gain it for real?
However, while she was lost in thoughts, Ji Yan and Ronan were the two people who were shocked to the core.
The devil who seemed to be on the verge of an outburst calmed down just like that, with a mere clumsy kiss.
The dark clouds forming above his head disappeared and his gloomy appearance seemed to be injected with vitality.
After recovering from her embarrassment, Ella coughed and fixed the man’s collar.
