Duan Yanhao hadn't expected to see that too. He had merely been concerned after hearing Bai Yaoyao's scream. At that time, he didn't think too much and responded like a sharp soldier. How could he have expected to see something that he shouldn't have?
After Duan Yanhao snapped out of his shock, he immediately turned around and left.
On the other hand, Bai Yaoyao walked out lifelessly from the bathroom. She laid on the bed and pulled the blanket all over herself, not knowing how to react at all. She was no longer a young lady and wasn't as shy and bratty, but after being exposed in front of Duan Yanhao, she still felt weird and didn't know how to face him.
She curled up in a ball as her mind was blank, the sounds of her scream ringing inside her head. She didn't know what to do and what she should be thinking about.
Furthermore, she really wanted to ask him about the person who had put on the pad for her. Why couldn't she remember it at all?
She removed the blanket quietly. Seeing no one else in the bedroom, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Shortly after, a middle-aged lady entered and smiled warmly at Bai Yaoyao. “Miss Bai, good thing you're awake now. This is what Young Master had prepared for you. Eat it while it's warm.”
Bai Yaoyao looked at the dishes on the tray and realized that they were all her favorites. Her heart wavered as she asked, “Where is he? Where did he go?”
“Young Master said that he has something to work on and left.”
Bai Yaoyao looked at the sky outside and felt rather worried. “It's already so late. Why is he still going out?”
“Before he left, he instructed me to take care of you. I've been here for so many years, and this is the first time Young Master brought someone home! Young Master treats you very well that he even prepared these dishes personally…”
Hearing the lady's ceaseless words, Bai Yaoyao didn't know how she should feel. She couldn't verbalize her thoughts properly. Sometimes, she wondered if Duan Yanhao would mind if they really got together since she had an awful past.
“Were you the one who took care of me?”
“Yes. Young Master's doctor checked you earlier. Knowing that your body is weak because of your period, he asked me to buy some pads for you. He also instructed the maids in charge of was.h.i.+ng up to clean your body and change your clothes for you.”
After hearing those words, Bai Yaoyao heaved a sigh of relief. After dinner, she sat in the living room and watched TV. She was distracted and kept glancing at the door, antic.i.p.ating Duan Yanhao's return.
However, he didn't come back. Bai Yaoyao felt uncomfortable staying there, so she bade farewell to the middle-aged lady.
The lady persuaded her to stay, saying, “Miss Bai, it's already so late! Why don't you rest here? Young Master has explicitly instructed me to take good care of you.”
“It's alright, I'm fine. Where am I, by the way? I'll get someone to pick me up.”
Unable to persuade Bai Yaoyao, the lady could only tell her the address. Bai Yaoyao called Yun Bilu and asked the latter to pick her up.
Yun Bilu received the call and immediately went to find Huang Yize. She pulled him as she ran outside. “Hurry up. Let's drive to pick Elder Sister Yaoyao up.”
Huang Yize held Yun Bilu's hand resignedly and said, “Slow down. If you were to trip and fall, you wouldn't be able to pick her up.”
Yun Bilu could only slow down her pace and reply with, “Elder Sister Yaoyao said that she's at Ningyang Road Number #.”
Hearing that address, Huang Yize's expression changed. “She's at Duan Yanhao's villa now. Are you sure you want to pick her up?”
When Yun Bilu heard that, she just realized something. Looking at Huang Yize, she stuck out her finger and chewed on it. “Hmm. Should we pick her up, or should we give them an opportunity?”
Huang Yize raised his brows, and a gentle glint flashed across his eyes. “We'll go if you want to. If not, call her and let her know.”
Yun Bilu thought about it and replied, “I want to let Elder Sister Yaoyao forget about her past. I think that that soldier is a decent man and is much better than Xirong Ziye.” As she spoke, she even stared at Huang Yize, studying his every expression.
