However, he still did not stop. At last, her mind went blank…
Luo Anning had no idea how long she had been sleeping for. By the time she woke up again, she discovered that the sun had already set and she struggled to get out of bed while moving her sore and aching body. She entered the bathroom and began was.h.i.+ng up.
Her legs were so soft and weak that she did not even have the energy to move at all. The instant that she got out of bed, she could not keep her balance at all. The thought of Rong Yan’s outrageous behavior last night made Luo Anning curse him thoroughly in her head.
She changed into a casual outfit and headed downstairs. As soon as she entered the dining hall, Auntie Li received her warmly and held her. Grinning widely from ear to ear, Auntie Li said gleefully, “Young Madam, come here. I’ll help you onto your seat. Young Master Rong instructed us to brew you some nouris.h.i.+ng tonic before he headed out for work this morning.”
It was the first time in the two years of their marriage that he had ever instructed them to take good care of Luo Anning. Auntie Li was experienced enough to know that there must have been progress in their relations.h.i.+p, judging from the fact that Rong Yan gave them those instructions so bright and early in the morning and Luo Anning had woken up later than usual.
At the same time that Auntie Li was feeling elated for Luo Anning, she instructed the servants to take good care of the latter.
“Auntie Li, you don’t have to. I’m not that spoiled or precious,” said Luo Anning who could not get used to being held so carefully by Auntie Li. She shunned her continued affection and took a seat in front of the dining table.
“Young Madam Rong, no woman in this world is more precious than you are,” Auntie Li said while ordering the servant to bring the hot soup and dishes to the dining table.
Staring at the dozens of dishes, Luo Anning thought to herself embarra.s.sedly, do they take me for a pig? Must a meal for one, be so lavish and extravagant? What a waste.
However, her intense hunger did not allow her to procrastinate further. She grabbed the bowl of soup from Auntie Li and began drinking it.
As soon as Luo Anning finished eating, the servant who was tidying the bedroom upstairs, hurried downstairs with Luo Anning’s mobile phone. “Young Madam, I discovered that your mobile was vibrating continuously when I was tidying your bedroom. So, I brought it downstairs for you.”
“Got it.” Luo Anning grabbed her mobile and took a look at it to see that it was an anonymous number.
She waved and instructed the servant to be dismissed. She then smirked beautifully and swiped her fingertip across the screen to decline the call.
She looked through her call history and discovered that the number started calling her since this morning. She presumed that Rong Yan must have switched her phone to vibration mode and hence, she did not hear it ringing because she was sound asleep.
If she guessed correctly, Ou Lixue should have been the one who called. She reckoned that Ou Lixue must have thought through her offer carefully after an entire night.
Actually, it was obvious that she could not afford to offend the Rong Family, over the Luo Family.
After a long while of silence, the mobile phone began to ring again. Luo Anning smiled and looked out of the window while answering the call.
“Young Madam Rong, I’m Ou Lixue,” said Ou Lixue who sounded rather haggard.
Luo Anning grinned and said, “I’ve figured that out. How did you consider my offer?”
“Do I have a choice?” Ou Lixue sneered.
“You don’t seem to think so.”
“I promise I can leak some information about Xinya abusing her a.s.sistant and consuming drugs but you can’t expose me.”
“You want to be an anonymous informant?”
“Yes, I want to be an anonymous informant. That’s the only way I can be safe.” Ou Lixue was not stupid. She knew that she could not afford to offend either of them and hence, decided to choose the best solution and that was to spill the beans about Luo Xinya anonymously.
