Chapter 36: Why Is It You?
36 Why Is It You?
Chun Maora was having a headache from the events that had taken place earlier that day. She had planned everything meticulously only to have it ruined by a single glance. She never expected that man to actually set his eyes on the little girl he had just seen. Although everything went well, she had gotten tired from experiencing all the things that happened today.
"Leave me alone. I want to have some rest." She icily glared at her servants.
Chun Maora did not want to stay there any longer. The strong scent of wine made her terribly nauseous. Added to the fact that the unexpected outcome happened made her feel drained. For now, she only wanted some peace and a good rest.
The servants by her side retreated back and cowered. They did not want to make Chun Maora's moods even worse than ever.
Lin Tang also was not feeling well. He could not imagine what Jun Zhenxian's reaction would be if he were to know that there was someone who was after his granddaughter. This was the first time he really felt troubled over some small matter.
Lin San decided to take a rest in her own quarter. She heard from her mother that the process did not go smoothly. She wondered why that was, but didn't ponder for a long time for that. At least, now that the work was over, she was yearning for some sleep.
"Let me get some rest first."
Lin Yuan stayed inside her quarter, hoping that the trick Jun Hua deployed succeeded. She let Jin Pun go since she wanted to be alone at that moment. The image of that person was etched inside her mind and she dearly hoped that she would not have to see him anymore.
Unbeknownst to them, a certain figure had already entered the compound. He was walking stealthily to avoid all the servants who were busy walking here and there.
"It's almost time for lunch, what are you preparing?"
"I'm making a soup…"
The man didn't bother with the servants' banter as he kept on searching for the right quarter. The Lin family residence was huge and there were a lot of people wandering around here and there. Since he had only seen the path once when he was visiting that morning, he was not able to find the right way immediately. Hiding in the dark, he tried to remember the path where he had seen that beautiful woman appeared.
"The Lin family's household is too big… can't they have only one house?" the man grumbled.
If Lin Yuan were to see this man, she would definitely faint because this was the same man who she had a bad impression with. Jo Han was still looking for a way to find Jun Hua's quarter. He really wanted to see the beautiful girl from up close again. Unfortunately, he could not follow the common stone path since it was located in the place where a lot of servants were coming and going.
Jo Han continued to walk in secret and avoided all the servants he saw. He was beginning to get irritated for having to sneak in but remembering that one glance, his desire to see her again continued to grow. Once glance was definitely not enough to satiate his desire.
"The Young Miss is tired?"
"Yes, she said she wanted to have a rest."
Jo Han stared at the two servants before him. Which young miss were they talking about? After thinking for a while, he saw them walking out and decided to follow after them. Maybe he would be lucky enough to arrive at the quarter he desired.
The two girls were walking slowly while chatting happily. They were only talking about some daily things that Jo Han did not find interesting. His eyes lit up when he saw a wall up ahead. He waited for the two servants to get in before searching for the plate name. He rejoiced when he spotted that the plate name indicated 'Jun Hua'.
"So you're here, I can't wait to see that pretty face once more."
Jo Han waited until the two servants came out again with a pale face.
"She's truly giving me a headache."
"Just let her be. She wanted some rest so no one was allowed to come and disturb her."
Jo Han's ears perked up. From what the two of them were saying, there were no servants inside? Alright, it would be a good chance for him to sneak in and steal a glance.
Soon as the two servants left, Jo Han silently sneaked inside. He found that the place was beautiful, it seemed like the servants had been caring about this place heavily. He walked around until he found the door and went inside. The interior of the quarter was not complicated and soon enough he found the chamber. But when he was about to head inside, he heard a scream from the outside, alerting everyone in the whole residence.
"FIRE!"
…
Lin Yuan was waiting on her quarter with worry. She was afraid that Chun Maora would find out that Jun Hua's appearance to the kitchen was part of their plan. Not only that, she was afraid that Jo Han would do something to Jun Hua because he wanted to see her again. After all, the beauty of Jun Hua was truly extraordinary.
"Jin Pun, where were you just now?"
Startled, Jin Pun stared at her Miss and hesitated, "Miss, let me help you dressed up first."
"What is it? I'm not going anywhere, right?" Li Yuan was confused, but she still let Jin Pun help her to tidy up her dress.
Jin Pun sighed. "Just wait on, Miss."
Just as Jin Pun finished speaking, Li Yuan heard a scream from outside saying that fire broke out. She started panicking, but then she looked at Jin Pun questioningly.
"Did you do something I don't know?"
Jin Pun nodded. "This servant begs Miss for forgiveness but there is indeed something that this servant had to do."
Lin Yuan stared at Jin Pun's face deeply. She had no idea what this girl had done, but she knew that Jin Pun was loyal to her. Whatever she did, it must be because she was thinking about her sake. Lin Yuan sighed and walked outside with Jin Pun. She was wondering what had just happened.
…
Jo Han was greatly startled when he heard about the fire, but it was already too late to withdraw from his place. During the time he was stunned, the woman inside the chamber had woken up because of the fire alarm and commotion. She hurriedly pushed the door open and came face to face with a man standing there.
After a second of astonishment, the two of them screamed at the same time.
"You-! What are you doing here, you pervert!"
"Why is it you?"
The yelling of both man and woman could be heard loud and crisp from the quarters.
