Chapter 9
"Pink Diamond not taking it?"
Oh right, the Pink Diamond necklace. Pink Diamonds are expensive!
"Thank you for the reminder."
After I say that, I go look for the Pink Diamond necklace.
The moment I stand up, I suddenly realize something is wrong.
Sure enough, a pair of arms wrap around me from behind.
The man's chin rests on my shoulder.
My body stiffens.
"Baby, packing so many things. Where are you planning to go?"
I stammer, "No... nowhere."
The man chuckles softly. "Is that so? I thought my darling wanted to run away."
"H-how is that possible!"
After saying that to boost my courage, I want to turn the tables and question why Xie Yu appeared out of nowhere to scare me.
But the next second, a fluffy tail wraps around my waist.
A tail?!
It's not mine.
I keep my own tail hidden so well!!
I slowly turn my head and meet a pair of deep green eyes.
The color of the forest.
Right now, those eyes are shining.
Like he has found his exclusive prey.
Xie Yu strokes my hair gently, revealing sharp fangs, yet his voice is extremely soft.
"It's best if you do not plan to run. Naughty babies who try to escape will be eaten as food."
"Liang Lan is a good baby, right?"
I: ?!
What is going on with his teeth and tail?!
"What is this?"
It looks similar to my tail.
But fluffier.
Xie Yu does not answer me. The fluffy big tail around my waist slowly tightens.
"You dragged a suitcase but claim you do not want to run away. What were you planning to do?"
Xie Yu's breath brushes against my skin. His teeth press against my carotid artery, as if he will bite down if my answer displeases him.
I do not dare to move. My brain spins rapidly.
Think of a reason, quick!!
What was I going to do with the suitcase?
"I wanted to go out and have fun."
Xie Yu pinches my palm, clearly unhappy with the answer. "Going out to have fun but bringing jewelry instead of clothes?"
That makes sense.
People usually bring clothes when they go out.
I try to patch up my lie. "I was going to the Auction House to have fun and sell the jewelry."
"Why sell them?"
This question makes me angry.
"Of course because selling them gives me money!"
Xie Yu is so stingy. Being his Servant does not earn me much.
It's only a tiny bit better than Factory Line Work at the Shady Factory.
All that little money gets transferred to Dad!
