Chapter 75: Don’t Be Nosy (10)
“What are you waiting for? Come here and rub my back,” Rong Yan ordered.
“How am I supposed to rub your back if you’re leaning against the bathtub?” Luo Anning picked up the towel and squatted beside the bathtub unwillingly. Rong Yan decided to make things easier for her and sat up straight to expose his large and broad shoulders.
Luo Anning picked up the towel and wet it resignedly before rubbing it against his back. Staring at his skin closely, she could not help but feel a little jealous, for his skin was so smooth and perfect that none of his pores could be seen at all. How enviable!
“Ma.s.sage my left shoulder,” Rong Yan said in pleasure.
Luo Anning put down the towel and began to ma.s.sage his shoulders. She knew that those who sat behind an office desk and worked for long hours tended to have shoulder ailments, spine issues and neck aches all the time.
She remained silent and ma.s.saged him using the techniques that she remembered. Rong Yan’s slightly closed eyes were opened suddenly, and he turned to look at her. Luo Anning asked in bewilderment, “What’s wrong? Did I use too much strength?”
“Luo Anning, I really want to know if there’s anything you can’t do.” It seemed like she knew it all.
After giving it some serious thought, Luo Anning answered hesitantly, “I’ve never thought about that before. As a qualified butler, I’ll make it a point to pick up as many skills as I can.”
Rong Yan scoffed, feeling like he had asked the question for nothing. He turned around and decided not to look at her anymore.
Finding the ambiance to be a little bizarre, Luo Anning picked up the towel to rub his back again after giving him a shoulder ma.s.sage.
By the time she was finally done with ma.s.saging him, her arms had become incredibly sore. She stood up and said in frustration, “I’m done rubbing your back. You may continue with your shower. Don’t call me unless it’s necessary from now on.”
Rong Yan chased her away in disdain. Luo Anning resolutely returned to her bedroom and thumped herself down onto the bed, fatigued beyond words.
…
In the middle of the night, Luo Anning suddenly heard the door of the bedroom being pushed open while she was in a daze. Someone entered.
She s.h.i.+vered in shock and immediately hollered, “Who’s there!?!”
Someone entered to switch on the light and the instant that the lights were switched on, Luo Anning felt like she had been struck by lightning.
What is Rong Yan doing, sneaking into my bedroom in the wee hours of the night instead of sleeping!?!
“What are you doing in my room?” Luo Anning questioned, pulling her duvet high up to cover her chest while glowering at the man who had trespa.s.sed her territory.
Rong Yan’s hair was slightly messy and his silvery-gray robe was untied, revealing his toned and s.e.xy chest. What was hilarious was that Rong Yan was holding onto a soft and white pillow!
It seemed Rong Yan did not think it was wrong for him to enter Luo Anning’s bedroom late at night. He looked rather annoyed and ignored her question. Before she knew it, he had already reached her bed, kicked off his shoes and laid beside her unreservedly.
Luo Anning’s extra pillow was thrown off of the bed mercilessly as he placed his own pillow beneath his head, closed his eyes and continued sleeping.
Staring at him in disbelief, an idea came to Luo Anning’s mind and she immediately covered her mouth with her hand. She asked in a shaky voice, “Young Master Rong, surely you can’t be sleepwalking?”
Sleepwalking was extremely terrifying because she had once read about someone chopping off the head of another person while sleepwalking and dreaming of cutting a watermelon.
Could Rong Yan be a sleepwalker too!?!
Rong Yan ignored her, as if he did not hear her at all. She mustered up the courage to nudge him.
