.
The man's body was strong and hard and Guan Xi couldn't help but gasp as she landed painfully against him.
'What, is he made of stone?'
.
"Master Jiu, I'm sorry! I... I didn't mean to. I'll get up right away!"
After she registered what had happened, her first instinct was to get away as far as possible from this man.
This sort of blunder was enough to anger him. She did not want to pay the consequences of his anger.
.
"Master Jiu!"
Guan Xi screamed, wanting to get off of him.
"You're afraid of me? Why?"
Guan Xi was so tempted to go out of character and yell at Xiao Jiuyan for his previous inhuman behavior.
'Who puts a curfew on their wife?'
'Who would make their wife copy disciplinary rules if they were late?'
'And he asks why I am afraid? Everyone would be afraid of a guy like him!'
Guan Xi was already afraid of a sober Xiao Jiuyan. However, she found that this version of him, the drunk one with fire in his eyes, was more terrifying.
"Master Jiu, can you let me go? I need to get up..."
No matter how much she wanted to rant and shout at him, she had to hold her temper and talk to him softly. Adding to her fantastic luck, the door to the room opened.
"Little Madam, Master Jiu's hangover soup is ready..."
Housekeeper Xiang came in with a bowl of steaming hot soup.
"Uh, forgive me, Master Jiu, Little Madam. I didn't know you were busy. I am... I'm just here to bring you a hangover soup."
Guan Xi's fair face flushed red.
Did Housekeeper Xiang think that she and Master Jiu are doing... something?
"No, Housekeeper Xiang, it's not what it looks like. I just wanted to wipe Master Jiu's face," Guan Xi quickly explained.
However, from the expression on Housekeeper Xiang's face, it was obvious that he did not believe her.
