After she had left for a while, the young girl on the bed sat still, unmoving.
Only a pair of bright black eyes were exposed, staring intently at the glass of water on the table.
She couldn't help but lick her parched lips, but in the end, she still didn't reach for it.
She remembered it was after eating the noodles that she had fainted and was taken to that pig-headed man's place.
She wouldn't eat anything given by others again.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Wang Ma's voice was once again heard outside:
"Sir, she seems to be really scared, she won't even drink water. You'd better go take a look yourself."
Besides that, there was another set of footsteps, also approaching her room.
Yun Qiluo listened intently and immediately tensed her small body like a startled cat.
The next second, she had swiftly pulled the covers aside and opened the wardrobe door.
Just as she was about to crawl in, the room door clicked open.
Soon after, a deep, luxurious voice came: "What are you doing?"
The familiar voice halted the young girl's movement, and she raised her head, slightly widening her eyes, finally seeing clearly who was standing at the door.
"B-... Beautiful woman!"
The man, wearing a fine-textured black shirt, leaned against the doorframe.
The collar was casually buttoned, slightly revealing the indistinct chest.
Intricately elegant cuffs reflected a faint light.
His slender eyes had a slightly wicked curve, and his features were impeccably delicate.
It was indeed an extremely beautiful face, yet his entire being exuded a dangerous aura that made one afraid to look directly.
Others would wish to stay far away if they saw such a person.
Only Yun Qiluo, upon seeing him, had her black and clean eyes suddenly burst with a bright light.
Without any thought, she leapt at him without hesitation.
She seemed small, but her movements were extremely agile.
When Yan Yan realized it, a soft body had already nestled into his arms again, a familiar milky scent wafting over.
He lowered his phoenix eyes, hiding the turbulent waves in them, and once more, did not push her away.
Yun Qiluo lifted her little face from his chest, gazing at the man's perfect jawline and those beautiful lips, feeling momentarily dazed.
Re-really a beautiful woman!
She was not dreaming!
"Beautiful woman, why are you here?" Then, she frowned, showing worry, "Were you also captured here by the pig head?"
Pig head? Huang Sijun?
He wouldn't dare to capture him even if he had several lives.
Yan Yan looked down, only to see the young girl's fair face filled with worry, her eyes even a little red from anxiety.
A glimmer of light swept through his phoenix eyes as he spoke, "This is my house."
"Your house?"
Yun Qiluo blinked twice.
Could it be that she wasn't dreaming that night? The beautiful man really came to rescue her??
She wasn't taken away by that ugly and wicked pig head?
Thinking of this, she began to feel elated again.
Her small hands clutched his clothes tightly, her bright, clean eyes staring directly at him, as if afraid he'd leave if she looked away.
"Beautiful woman, was it you who saved me?"
The man didn't respond, only ordered coldly, "Go back and drink the water."
"Okay!"
Yun Qiluo had long been thirsty; earlier, she didn't dare to drink out of fear of danger. Now, seeing Yan Yan, she completely relaxed.
Upon hearing this, she couldn't wait and ran back, picked up the water, tilted her head back, and guzzled it down in one go.
After drinking, she felt much better, but her gaze still clung to him as if she feared he'd leave the moment she stopped looking.
