After making sure that Ye Xingli was tucked into bed and comfortable, he left the room, locked the door, and arranged for a bodyguard to stand watch. He fell asleep with a sense of accomplishment.
The next day, Ye Xingli woke up in a daze.
Sitting in bed, squinting into the morning light, it took him quite a while to fully regain consciousness.
He grumbled a curse under his breath, rushed to put his shoes on, and bolted out the bedroom door.
Reaching the living room, he saw Gu Chi face to face.
He lunged and grabbed Gu Chi's collar, "You drugged me!"
Gu Chi pried his hand off, "Master Li, calm down! I was instructed to do that. If you have issues, why not take them up with our young master?"
"…" Ye Xingli backed down.
He let go of Gu Chi's collar and made a beeline for the front door.
