Before reaching Lord Bao's bed, Luo Yang flashed an innocuous smile at Shuiyue and Jinghua.
Emotions are contagious.
Bad emotions cause worry, good ones put the heart at ease.
Luo Yang knew Shuiyue and Jinghua were sweating nervously, both worried about Lord Bao punishing them.
Shuiyue and Jinghua forced a smile, clearly still anxious inside.
Luo Yang couldn't speak or else Lord Bao would hear it.
Lord Bao is known to be jealous; if he overheard Luo Yang whispering sweet nothings to Shuiyue and Jinghua, the jealousy would only worsen.
To avoid provoking Lord Bao, Luo Yang had to comfort Shuiyue and Jinghua with gestures and eye contact.
As they approached the vine-covered double bed, Lord Bao stuck her head out to look.
Seeing Luo Yang approach, a smile appeared on Lord Bao's face.
Honestly, Luo Yang would rather see Lord Bao with a serious expression than a smile.
Her smile was more terrifying than her serious look.
