Xia Bingqing was so startled that she lost her grip on the teapot, which fell onto the table with a "bang," splashing scalding hot water everywhere.
Yi instinctively backed away, the hot water only splashing onto her clothes; thankfully, she wasn't scalded. Looking at Xia Bingqing, she had also already jumped to the side, a trace of fear still lingering on her face.
Her eyes...
For a fleeting moment, Yi Yi sensed a hint of annoyance in Xia Bingqing's expression. Moreover, her eyes seemed to glare angrily in her direction.
That's strange, isn't she blind?
Hearing the commotion, the servants rushed forward to check if Xia Bingqing had been burned. The noisy concern and greetings interrupted Yi Yi's thoughts.
"Mao Mao?"
Yi's eyes lit up!
Isn't this the first time I've encountered the lions kept at Mu Nanxun's Rose Manor?!
haven't seen you for a long time!
Yi ran over excitedly, hugged Mao Mao's neck, and kissed him repeatedly.
Mao Mao obediently rubbed its head against her neck, making her ticklish and giggling.
“Miss Yi, the boss was worried you'd be bored, so he specially asked me to bring Mark—oh no, I mean, to bring Mao Mao over, saying it would keep you company.”
Thank you!
To be honest, Xiao Fang felt terrified while leading this enormous lion, even more so than when serving Mu Nanxun. He was terrified of accidentally angering it and becoming its meal. (Mao Mao retorted: You're overthinking it. The meat I eat is specially supplied. Even if you stuck your arm in my mouth, I wouldn't bother chewing it; your meat is too coarse.)
So, even though this was the second time Xiao Fang had seen Mao Mao and Yi Yi getting along well, she still felt the scene was bizarre and even wanted to gouge her own eyes out.
Someone who can get along peacefully with a fierce lion... I can't afford to mess with them!
"Miss Yi, I've delivered Mao Mao. May I leave now?" Xiao Fang asked with a pained expression, not daring to look directly at Mao Mao.
Good heavens, such a huge beast! He felt like he would lose his lifespan just by looking at it.
Yi Yi peeked her head out from under Mao Mao's neck, smiled with her eyes narrowed, and said, "Okay, okay, bye-bye."
Xiao Fang breathed a sigh of relief and ran away in a flash.
To Yi, the adorable and obedient Mao Mao was a ferocious and brutal beast in the eyes of others. Especially Xia Bingqing, who used to be most afraid of this beast, yet always had to pretend to be calm in front of it.
Wasn't this beast always kept at Rose Hill Manor?! How did they manage to bring it here?
Xia Bingqing suddenly remembered what Xiao Fang had just said: Mu Nanxun was worried that Yi Yi would be bored, so he sent this beast to her to keep her entertained.
Mu Nanxun really cares about Yi Yi.
"Roar~ Roar~"
Perhaps because he sensed Xia Bingqing's presence, Mao Mao, who had just been obediently interacting with Yi Yi, suddenly bared his teeth and roared in Xia Bingqing's direction.
Xia Bingqing shuddered again, her whole body trembling, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
She and that beast are incompatible; she should stay away from it!
"Quick, help me back to my room."
Xia Bingqing grabbed the arms of two servants beside her haphazardly and ran back in a disorderly manner.
Looking at her stumbling figure, Yi Yi couldn't believe that she was afraid of even such a well-behaved cat, so how had she managed to fight off a group of wild beasts in the jungle and save Mu Nanxun's life?
Hehe, never mind her, with Mao Mao keeping her company, her mood can be as good as heaven!
