Xiulan went to sleep five in the morning. When she can"t find any answers and couldn"t figure out what the h.e.l.l happened, she decided to sleep it off and find the answers in the afternoon.When she woke up, it was lunchtime already. The staffs seem to be not aware that Head Manager Yi Sha was in jail already. So they could only answer Xiulan"s inquiry that Head Manager Yi Sha was in an emergency leave.
Xiulan only frowned at their not-so-helpful answers. She must find where Yi Sha is right now! She"s getting anxious. She speculates that Yi Sha might have escaped and already found out that she was tracking her.
She quickly ate her lunch and went to look for Yi Sha outside the inn. Some people might have seen her escaping or leaving the town.
It"s only been 15 minutes since she left the inn but her mind was getting hazy for unknown reasons. Her head feels heavy and her movements were getting slower too. Anytime, she might pa.s.s out in the streets.
She stopped walking and rested in a nearby lounge chair. Her breathing was getting heavy too. She feels so sick. She doesn"t know why she suddenly feels like this but she guessed it might be because of lack of sleep. But the heavy feeling she"s currently experiencing was quite over the top.
She tried to stand up again and walk back to the inn to take a rest and cure her unknown sickness when suddenly she stumbled and lost her balance. Thankfully someone caught her.
She wanted to thank the person who caught her foolish fall but she can"t even raise her head anymore. She eventually pa.s.sed out. She wanted to remain calm and conscious but her mind was not helping her.
When she woke up, her ears felt full and in pain. She was experiencing great pressure in her ears. She slowly looked at her surroundings and thought she was dreaming.
She was inside a fancy looking jet or an airplane, whichever it was, she knew that she"s currently flying.
Her ears might be hurting but she must know why she"s now inside this fancy airs.h.i.+p.
"Young master, madame woke up." Secretary Yang Bo mentioned when he saw the young madam sat up from her slumber. He was talking to Hongqi regarding their itinerary when he suddenly noticed Xiulan"s movements.
Hongqi quickly glanced at his wife and his mouth curled up seeing her confused face. He stands up and went near her.
"Love, you"re awake." Hongqi sat beside his wife and caressed her face and then held her small hands.
Xiulan really thought she was still dreaming. Hongqi was in front of her. "How come my husband is here?" she subconsciously asked. She was outside the Ling family inn awhile ago. How come he"s here now?
"Hongqi? Wh- what… I mean… why are you here?" Xiulan stuttered. Her voice was kind of raspy and it was hard for her to talk.
"My love, just sleep. We still have another hour before we land." He kissed her lips and forehead. He helped her lay back on the reclining chair and caressed her head so she can sleep comfortably.
Xiulan can"t help but sleep again from his touches. It was so relaxing and everything in her body seems to hurt. Her head and ears were not in good condition. Her arms and legs were like jelly and she can"t even lift them properly.
She fell asleep again listening to Hongqi"s whispers and soft touches. "It must be a dream." she thought before dreamland consumes her again.
When she woke up for the second time, she"s now inside a traditional j.a.panese tatami room.
"Wait… this doesn"t look like the Ling family inn"s room..." Xiulan softly muttered while she checks her surroundings.
The tatami room has ornaments that can only be seen from top-rated traditional j.a.panese inns. The walls also displayed the silhouettes of the tree"s branches and other garden ornaments.
Xiulan sat straightly with a confused expression. She tried to remember what just happened. She recently only noticed that she was already wearing a white robe.
"Did something happened when I pa.s.sed out? As I remember someone caught my stupid fall and then… I saw my husband inside an airs.h.i.+p… then… what… the… h.e.l.l… happened?" she contemplated everything that transpired and what her head remembers.
"s.h.i.+t… don"t tell me… my husband abducted me!?" Xiulan was alarmed by her own thoughts.
She quickly stands up to go outside the room to get the right answers but her head suddenly experienced a sharp and painful shot. She stumbled back on her tatami bed and groaned very loudly. "Ugh… d.a.m.n, my head hurts so much."
The person guarding her room was alarmed by the noise coming inside the madam"s VIP room. The guard immediately called for a female servant to check on the wife of the boss.
Three female servants went inside Xiulan"s room and attended to her needs.
Xiulan almost screams when she saw unfamiliar faces went inside her room. Her mind quickly tried to read the situation. The women who went inside are wearing fancy pink kimonos.
"Ahh…s.h.i.+t… no... what the h.e.l.l… where the h.e.l.l am I? Please… I hope I"m still in my mother country!" Xiulan whispered silent prayers. The women who attended her were talking to her in her native tongue but they don"t look like Chinese at all.
j.a.panese and Chinese people might have some similar features but people can still distinguish their differences.
"Madam, what are you feeling? Are you in pain? Where? Please let us know so we can give you the right medicine." one of the female servants inquired.
Xiulan dumbly stared back at the female servant for a long time before her mind cooperated and gave a proper answer. "Can you give me medicine for headaches and body ache? Also, what time is it and where am I?"
Two of the servants went outside to get medicine and water while the other one stayed to answer all the madam"s questions. "Mrs. Xing, it"s already seven in the evening and you"re in Cherry Dragon hotel in Kiyoto, j.a.pan."
Xiulan gawked at the female servant. "No way..."
The female servant only pursed her lips awkwardly and informed another information. "Your husband is currently in a meeting but he"ll come back soon."
"s.h.i.+t..." Xiulan cursed under her breath. The servant was surprised by the madam"s sudden cursing.
Xiulan quickly apologized to the servant. "Oh sorry. I didn"t mean that for you. Gosh, that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d." She angrily bit her lips and gave a half-smile at the female servant.
"When do you think he will come back?" Xiulan asked one more time. Her heart is getting anxious. She doesn"t know if she should be mad or not. This was incredibly surprising and irritating.
The two other female servants came back with medicine and water. Xiulan drank the medicine while she listens to the servant.
"According to young master Xing, he will come back in an hour and we must prepare you to get ready for dinner."
Xiulan only sighed hearing her answers. Xiulan"s thoughts were thinking of a lot of insane speculations. "It seems that haughty husband planned this without informing me. I must get back to China and resolve the Ling family issue. d.a.m.n it. d.a.m.n him."
