Chapter 149: Little Thing, Why Did You Secretly Come to Me?

In the end, Chu Luo tapped Li Yan’s acupoint and ran away.

After she ran out of the room, she wanted to walk out of the house.

However, she suddenly stopped when she reached the entrance.

“Why should I run? That person is so detestable. How can I not punish him?”

At the thought of this, she turned around and walked towards the sofa.

She decided that she would hack into the Empire’s household register system to see what was going on.

When Li Yan walked out of the door, he saw the little thing sitting on the sofa and speedily scrolling through her phone with a fierce expression.

As if he had guessed something, he turned around and went to the study.

Chu Luo quickly hacked into the Empire’s household register system and realized that Li Yan’s household register had been encrypted.

“Hmph! You think I can’t do anything after you encrypted it?”

It was difficult to do this on the phone. At this moment, Butler Abel pa.s.sed by the door and Chu Luo quickly stopped him.

“Butler Abel.”

Abel walked in. “Miss Chu, what can I do for you?”

“Is there a laptop around?”

“Yes. Does Miss Chu need to use it? I’ll get it for you immediately.”

“Yes, I need to use it. Sorry to trouble you.”

“It’s no trouble. It’s my honor to serve Miss Chu.”

With that, Abel walked off to the side.

Chu Luo watched as he left. Previously, she hadn’t realized that Li Yan’s butler and secretary treated her a little strangely. After hearing what Li Yan had said, she realized this and was unhappy again.

Abel quickly brought her a brand new laptop.

Chu Luo took it and quickly opened it to connect to the Internet.

Unexpectedly, she couldn’t connect to the Internet in the villa.

Chu Luo didn’t believe it. She tried several methods but still couldn’t connect to the Internet.

She snorted in displeasure and took out her phone to turn on the hotspot.

After turning on the hotspot, she connected to the Internet and quickly typed on the keyboard.

Before long, she’d unlocked the encrypted section and found Li Yan’s household register.

The word “Married” appeared in front of her eyes.

Chu Luo’s face was tense as she quickly scrolled the page.

Abel, who had been standing at the side, stole a glance at Chu Luo’s expression. Thinking about who had angered Miss Chu, he probed, “Miss Chu, do you want to drink some milk or eat some fruit?”

“No, I’m not eating.”

Chu Luo’s fingers kept moving. She wanted to edit the information on it.

Abel confirmed that Miss Chu was indeed angry now.

He wondered who had provoked her. If Master were to find out about it, that person would definitely be finished.

At this moment, Chu Luo finally entered the household registration system. She gritted her teeth and fiercely deleted the word “Married” on her own page before deleting it on Li Yan’s page.

Looking at the two blank s.p.a.ces where the words were now missing, she was about to smile in satisfaction when those two words reappeared.

“…”

Chu Luo felt that something must have gone wrong with the system there and deleted those two words again.

However, she had just deleted them when the words returned once more.

Just like that, Chu Luo deleted it N times, and the other side restored it N times.

Perhaps because she had deleted it too earnestly, it alerted the people from the Empire’s household registration department. Soon, they sent people to investigate her.

Chu Luo quickly logged out of the Empire’s household register system and wiped her traces. She decided to try again tomorrow.

After doing all of this, she looked up and saw Abel standing beside her.

Abel smiled in an amicable manner. “Miss Chu, your room is ready. Do you want to rest or play for a while?”

Chu Luo looked at Abel’s smiling face and suddenly couldn’t flare up. She only said with a straight face, “Rest.”

“Miss Chu, please come with me.”

Abel led her upstairs after Chu Luo stood up.

Chu Luo’s room was next to Li Yan’s bedroom. Chu Luo stood by the door and said unhappily, “I don’t like this room.”

“Then you can choose which room you like, Miss Chu.” Abel remembered Butler Beitang’s reminders. Miss Chu was the future mistress. He had to support whatever she wanted unconditionally.

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan’s room and thought fiercely:

‘I’ll occupy your room tonight and let you sleep in the guest room!’

“I want to stay in this bedroom.”

Abel didn’t expect Chu Luo to take the initiative to request to sleep in the Master’s room. He wondered if Miss Chu had already developed feelings for Master.

At the thought of this, he was delighted and decided to report this matter to Butler Beitang later. Perhaps they could start on Master and Miss Chu’s wedding now.

“Okay, Miss Chu, please.”

Abel opened the bedroom door for Chu Luo and asked, “Miss Chu, what else do you need? I’ll send it to you immediately.”

“Nothing.”

Chu Luo closed the door after saying that.

Abel stood by the door for a few seconds before turning around.

He turned around and immediately met Li Yan, who was standing at the end of the corridor. He quickly and respectfully greeted, “Master.”

Li Yan looked at his bedroom and lowered his eyes to think for a moment. “You can leave now.”

Abel hurriedly gave him a gentlemanly bow before quickly leaving.

Li Yan walked to the bedroom door. At first, he extended his hand, but after some thought, he put it down again. He didn’t leave and just stood there waiting.

After Chu Luo entered, she went straight to the bedroom. She scanned the room and suddenly felt a little regretful. “I won’t sleep on the bed that he sleeps in!”

She looked around and didn’t find anywhere else to sleep in the bedroom. After some thought, she retreated and placed her gaze on the sofa.

She decided to sleep on the sofa.

After deciding on where to sleep, she went to the bathroom, which was filled with Li Yan’s belongings.

Chu Luo looked around but didn’t find any spare toiletries. She had no choice but to go over and open the door to see if Abel had left.

However, when she opened the door, she met Li Yan’s deep eyes.

The moment Chu Luo saw this person, she was annoyed and said arrogantly, “I’m already occupying your bedroom.”

She even raised her eyebrows smugly.

She didn’t know how alluring she looked by behaving like this, but it made Li Yan’s gaze deepen. He said in a low voice, “I won’t sleep here. But you have to let me in to get my pajamas and wash up.”

“No. This is your house. I don’t believe you can’t find pajamas or toiletries elsewhere.”

Li Yan frowned in distress. “There are toiletries in the other rooms, but no pajamas.”

After saying that, he raised his hand to clutch his chest and coughed a few times, reminding Chu Luo that his internal injuries were still there.

Chu Luo had made up her mind not to let him in, but seeing him cough and feeling a little guilty, she said, “Wait here. I’ll go get them for you.”

“Okay,” Li Yan said. “It’s in my bedroom’s changing room. The changing room is on the left side of the door.”

“Got it,” Chu Luo said as she closed the door.

Only then did she go to his changing room.

The changing room was huge too, with a long row of closets.

Chu Luo looked at the wardrobes and frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me where the pajamas were? How do I retrieve them?”

Despite her words, she still opened the doors one by one and started searching.

She searched in a few wardrobes before finding his pajamas.

She casually picked up a sleeping robe and opened the door to hand it to Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at the pajamas and raised his eyes. “Underwear too.”

Chu Luo: “…”

Li Yan’s expression was serious. “Are you telling me not to change my underwear after showering?”

“…” Chu Luo took a deep breath and tilted her face. She said angrily, “Go get it yourself!”

Li Yan looked at her beautiful profile and walked in.

Chu Luo stood by the door and didn’t move. She threatened him, “Get out after you’ve taken it. Otherwise, I won’t let you sleep tonight.”

Li Yan stopped in his tracks and suddenly turned around to look at her with his pitch-black eyes. That glance made Chu Luo blush. She had a nagging feeling that there was a special meaning in his gaze.

Li Yan went to retrieve the clothes inside. When he walked up to her, he said, “If you don’t have pajamas, you can wear mine.”

With that, he left.

Chu Luo stared at his back and snorted. “I’m not wearing yours!”

After saying that, she closed the door.

After she closed the door, she suddenly thought of what she’d been meaning to do. She opened the door a little more to make sure that no one was outside before walking out.

She walked to the end of the corridor and leaned against the railing as she looked around. When she saw that no one was around, she called out, “Butler Abel.”

As soon as she did that, Abel walked in from outside. “Miss Chu, what can I do for you?”

“Are there any pajamas I can wear here?”

“Yes, in the guest room beside Master’s bedroom.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she frowned. “Can you come up and help me get it?”

“Erm…” Abel said apologetically, “Miss Chu, Master has a habit. While he is resting, no one is allowed to go upstairs.”

“What bad habit is that?” Chu Luo muttered.

Abel asked again, “What other instructions do you have, Miss Chu?”

“None. You may go rest.”

After saying that, Chu Luo turned around and walked back.

In the end, she had no choice but to walk to the guest room next door.

She raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door, but when her hand approached the door, she stopped. “He must be showering now. I’ll just go in and get my pajamas before leaving. Why should I let him know?”

At the thought of this, she turned the doork.n.o.b, opened the door, and stuck her head in to take a look. Sure enough, she could hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Chu Luo curled her lips and walked in lightly.

The guest room only had one bedroom, and the wardrobe was inside.

Chu Luo walked over and opened the wardrobe, only to discover that there were many female clothes for various occasions inside.

“To think he has so many women’s clothes here. He even said that he has no interest in women. Big liar!”

After saying that, Chu Luo took a set of pajamas and was about to leave.

However, when she turned around, she b.u.mped into a broad and strong embrace.

A hand wrapped around her waist at the same time, and a low voice sounded beside her ear. “Little thing, why did you secretly come to me?”

“I didn’t come here secretly!” Chu Luo’s face instantly turned red. She quickly reached out to push him, but her palm was pressed against the exposed skin past his open sleeping robe.

As if she had been scalded, she quickly retracted her hand. Without looking at him, she quickly said, “I’m just here to get my pajamas. Let go, or I won’t be polite to you!”

Li Yan looked at her face, which was so red it looked like blood might drip from it. He knew he shouldn’t scare her, so he let go of her.

Chu Luo turned around to run.

Li Yan kindly reminded her from behind, “You only took your pajamas. Are you not going to wear anything inside?”

Chu Luo: “…”
