"Will the young master come out? If he does, will he take a liking to me? Miss Xia wouldn't be lying to me, would she?"
"No, no, Miss Xia is such a kind person. She encouraged me, gave me advice, and even gave me such an expensive foundation. How could she possibly be lying to me? Once I successfully win the young master's heart and live a good life, I will definitely repay Miss Xia properly."
"Cheer up! The young master could come out at any moment, and I have to show him my best side. Opportunity favors the prepared mind. Go for it!"
While keeping an eye on the sounds coming from the room, Atao cheered herself up, feeling both expectant and nervous.
Meanwhile, Mu Nanxun, inside the bedroom, had already noticed the commotion outside and was listening intently.
Yi Yi woke up, got dressed, and prepared to go out.
"Wait..." Mu Nanxun stopped her.
"Wait a minute?" Yi Yi asked, puzzled.
"Hmm." Mu Nanxun didn't say anything more and lay down on the bed fully clothed. The snake had already come out of its hole, but it hadn't started making its move yet; it wasn't time to alert it.
Yi Yi didn't know what Mu Nanxun was planning, but she always trusted Mu Nanxun's decisions, so she didn't say anything and obediently lay down next to Mu Nanxun.
When she was next to Mu Nanxun, she felt especially at ease. Even if the sky fell, he would hold it up, and she didn't have to worry about anything.
Just as Yi Yi was drifting off to sleep, a terrified scream from outside the door instantly jolted her awake.
"Ah—a snake, there's a snake—"
snake?
Perhaps because she had encountered so many snakes a few days ago and was traumatized, Yi Yi jumped out of bed as soon as she heard someone shout about snakes.
Why are there snakes again?!
Seeing the fear on her face, Mu Nanxun squeezed her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, let me go and take a look first."
He already knew that during the days he was away, a large number of snakes had suddenly appeared at the bedroom door. It was obvious who was deliberately causing trouble, and he was just preparing to investigate carefully when it happened again right under his nose.
Very good, exceptionally good!
Since he's come to us of his own accord, he doesn't need to be polite; it saves him a lot of trouble.
Mu Nanxun slowly got out of bed, walked to the door, opened it, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
There were indeed snakes on the floor of the corridor, and more than one. These snakes flicked their tongues, bared their fangs, and coiled around Ah Tao, as if they wanted to crawl all over her.
Atao was so scared that she started crying, her whole body trembling. She stood there motionless, only able to cover her head and scream.
Her shouts naturally attracted the attention of the other men in black and the servants in the villa. Everyone gasped when they saw what was happening.
Yi Yi couldn't help but come out as well, standing behind Mu Nanxun and pointing at the two men in black, "Stop watching, quickly catch those snakes."
The men in black obeyed the order, and one of them went up and grabbed several snakes, finally catching all the snakes on the ground.
"Help, help me... snake, there's a snake..." Atao was still squatting on the ground, trembling, too scared to lift her eyes.
Yi walked over and patted Atao on the shoulder, "Alright, the snake is gone."
Upon hearing this, Atao looked up and saw Yi Yi's smiling face, as well as the black-clad man behind her, each holding several snakes in his hand.
Instantly, all the rumors circulating in the villa about Yi Yi being a monster surfaced in her mind.
