Xiao Jiuyan frowned.
He asked calmly, "What do you have to say to me?"
Guan Xi snapped back to her senses. "Oh!"
She then realized that she was staring at Xiao Jiuyan in a daze again.
His beauty was distracting.
'Focus, Guan Xi! You're better than this!"
"Master Jiu..."
Guan Xi pursed her lips and continued nervously, "You ordered for my things to be moved to your room, right? Can you-"
"No," Xiao Jiuyan interrupted, his face expressionless.
'What?!'
Feeling slighted, she reasoned, "Master Jiu, you didn't even let me finish."
Xiao Jiuyan's cold voice was indifferent. "It doesn't matter. The answer is no to whatever you're going to ask."
'No? Just like that?'
'F*ck!'
"Master Jiu."
She bit her lower lip and tried again, "Master Jiu, I know that we're married now so it's normal for us to sleep in the same room...
"But... but I don't sleep very well at night. I grind my teeth, I toss around, I kick the covers, and I even get leg spasms."
Xiao Jiuyan's cold gaze didn't even waver a single inch.
Guan Xi wanted to break down crying.
She had listed all of the terrible things she might do in her sleep and yet he was still indifferent?
Clenching her teeth, she continued, "Master Jiu, I also heard from my mom that I sleepwalk. I just suddenly get up in the middle of the night, it's scary."
She blinked coquettishly and tried to look as sweet and sincere as possible. "Master Jiu, for your own good, we should not sleep in the same bed."
She had made up really bad scenarios that would've turned anyone off.
If he was smart, Xiao Jiuyan would avoid even being in the same room with her again.
However, Xiao Jiuyan just continued to stare at her with that maddeningly calm gaze.
Guan Xi grew increasingly nervous under his stare, her hands clenching involuntarily as she waited for him to speak.
All she knew was if she was in his position right now, she definitely wouldn't want to sleep in the same bed with her.
A lot of seconds have passed before Xiao Jiuyan finally spoke. "You're not moving back."
Guan Xi's heart turned cold when she heard his reply.
How could she have forgotten?
Xiao Jiuyan was not a normal person. He's a cruel old man who loved lording his power over other people.
Guan Xi pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Jiuyan, her eyes watering. "Master Jiu, I am a restless sleeper. Do you really want to lose sleep because of me?"
"That's easy to solve."
Xiao Jiuyan's cold voice did not betray even the slightest bit of emotion. He continued, "Grind your teeth once, copy the disciplinary rules. Kick the quilt twice or have a foot spasm, run ten laps. As for sleepwalking..."
He paused, the corner of his lips curving up into a light smile. "I'll throw you out."
Guan Xi wanted to cry. She knew that he was cruel but she wasn't expecting him to be so inhumane!
He was going to throw her out for something she couldn't control?
She's had enough!
Aggrieved, Guan Xi said, "Master Jiu, I'm just a child."
She had just turned eighteen. She might be married but she was still extremely young.
Xiao Jiuyan eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze sweeping over her body before landing on her breasts.
