Chapter 12 What Are You Doing?
- Upon seeing this, Ruan Shishi felt that her mind had gone blank.
- Did I just discover Yu Yimo’s secret?
- Even though she did not do it on purpose, Ruan Shishi felt guilty because she had invaded his privacy.
- This is not ethical.
- Having no time to think further, Ruan Shishi wanted to put the photo and card back in place. However, she failed several times because her hands were trembling out of nervousness.
- “What’re you doing?”
- All of a sudden, a cold voice rang behind her.
- A shiver uncontrollably ran through Ruan Shishi and the photo frame dropped from her hand once again. However, it did not fall to the floor this time but was caught by Yu Yimo.
- Ruan Shishi turned around and met Yu Yimo’s cold gaze.
- She felt her throat tighten due to nervousness. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”
- She did not mean to enter his study, nor did she have any intentions to find his secret.
- She wondered if Yu Yimo would believe her words or not.
- “Get out.” Although Yu Yimo had kept his voice down, his fury could still be easily detected.
- Ruan Shishi’s heart sank as she knew that she had angered him again.
- Without any hesitation, Ruan Shishi bent down to pick up her box, then sensibly left the room. Just when she turned around to close the door, she saw Yu Yimo’s gaze fixed on the photo.
- This photo seems to be very important to Yu Yimo.
- Blaming herself and feeling upset, Ruan Shishi held her things and went downstairs after closing the door. At this time, Du Yue had already set the table for dinner.
- Seeing Ruan Shishi showing up with her box, Du Yue asked, “Madam, what’re you going to do with this?”
- “I’m looking for a storeroom,” Yuan Shishi said honestly.
- Du Yue answered, “The storeroom is in the attic.”
- The attic?
- Ruan Shishi seemed to be at a loss because she could not remember seeing an attic.
- “Just pass it to me, Madam.” Du Yue took over the box from Ruan Shishi and then said, “Madam, please have your meal. The dishes are all from…”
- “Assistant Du, I think I’ve done something wrong and made him angry.” Ruan Shishi cut Du Yue short.
- Upon hearing Ruan Shishi’s words, Du Yue felt helpless.
- To be honest, he rarely saw Yu Yimo showing his emotions even after working with him for years.
- Since almost no one can anger President Yu, what kind of luck is Madam having today?!
- “What have you done, Madam?”
- “I went into his study and accidentally knocked over his…” photo frame and saw his secret.
- “It’s all my fault for not telling you in the first place, Madam. Nobody is allowed to enter President Yu’s study because it is a restricted area.”
- A restricted area?
- Ruan Shishi finally understood why Yu Yimo was angry. The study was his personal space; if the situation was reversed, she would become angry as well should somebody enter it without her permission.
- As she thought about this, Ruan Shishi felt more guilty and depressed. She really had been too careless.
- Dinner for this day was sent from Yu’s old manor and all the dishes were Ruan Shishi’s favorite.
- However, Ruan Shishi paid no attention to the dishes due to the incident just now. She ate distractedly whereas Yu Yimo kept staying in his study.
- At night, Ruan Shishi lay on the bed after washing up. She was tossing and turning as she could not fall asleep.
- The main reason was that she missed her old bed.
- Another reason was that she was annoyed at herself by stupidly entering Yu Yimo’s study and upsetting him.
- As she was thinking about the incident, the name Wan’er popped into her head and would not go away.
- That person must be very close to Yu Yimo to be able to call him Mo. Moreover, Yu Yimo seems to cherish that photo very much.
- Hence, is Wan’er the girl whom Yu Yimo likes?
- Upon thinking about this, Ruan Shishi suddenly felt uncomfortable.
- If Yu Yimo already had a girl he liked, then why would he still bring her to register their marriage?
- Getting frustrated, Ruan Shishi pulled the blanket over her head to force the thought out of her mind.
