Hate You
688 Words
“Because I hate you!” Pei Lichuan said firmly.
“Then why are you helping me with the medicine? You actually…” Xia Qiao wanted to say that he wasn’t really that bad, but before she could finish, Pei Lichuan abruptly threw the medicine aside, his gaze cold as he said with disgust, “Woman, you’re overthinking it!”
“I just don’t want someone to die here and dirty the air of the manor!”
“Don’t presume to guess my thoughts. You’re not worthy!”
Not worthy, not worthy! Really so annoying!
Pei’s family may be rich, but it’s not like they have a throne to inherit! She didn’t care about being here! If it weren’t for…
Xia Qiao was so angry that her chest felt tight, her round eyes glaring at Pei Lichuan like a puffed-up kitten, making her look somewhat cute in her fury.
Pei Lichuan felt a tickle in his heart, a bit itchy, but he maintained his icy demeanor, smirking and turning his chin up, giving Xia Qiao a cold and aloof back.
“I’m so angry! It’s true that things are like their owners. If you’re so annoying, of course, your dog is also vicious. It’s really too much!” Xia Qiao was hopping mad, mumbling to vent her frustrations.
Suddenly, a faint, elderly voice came from above, “Madam Xia, the young master has already gone far.”
“…” Xia Qiao was startled, a surge of shock shooting from her feet to her head, causing her to hiccup nervously, “Butler Qin… how… how did you…”
He wouldn’t have heard her, would he?
Would Butler Qin report her?
Xia Qiao felt unlucky; if she were reported, she had no idea how that dog of a man would torment her!
“Butler Qin… uh… uh…” Xia Qiao hiccuped incessantly, unable to stop.
Seeing her nervousness and hiccups, Butler Qin’s eyes behind his gray brows showed a trace of a smile. “Madam Xia, don’t worry. I won’t report you to the young master.”
“I came to remind you to be cautious and not provoke Moonlight in the future. It’s a pit bull the young master raised, very fierce, and it only listens to the young master.”
Xia Qiao innocently replied, “I… didn’t expect Moonlight… uh… would pounce on me… uh!”
Butler Qin looked at her deeply, noting that she didn’t seem to harbor much resentment despite being injured. He also noticed a rare resilience in her. Thinking of the old master’s words, he felt a surge of expectation.
Perhaps, this young woman could truly bring a change to Pei Lichuan!
“Madam Xia, I’ve arranged for a doctor to come and check your wound tomorrow. Also, I won’t be around tomorrow, so remember to feed Moonlight with the food prepared in the fridge.”
After giving his instructions, Butler Qin’s tone softened further. “Please rest well.”
After Butler Qin left, Xia Qiao lay back on the sofa, tossing and turning, finding it hard to fall asleep.
Just before dawn, after finally drifting into a half-asleep state, she suddenly felt something wet on her face, as if something was licking her.
“Hmm?” Xia Qiao instinctively reached out to push it away.
The touch was furry.
There was a warm breath at the base of her palm.
“Who’s there?” Xia Qiao opened her eyes groggily.
The next second, she was startled awake, jumping out of bed, clutching the blanket, her cold sweat streaming as she stared at Moonlight, who was panting at her.
Moonlight was a pit bull, with a large head, fierce eyes, and a very aggressive nature.
Being stared at by Moonlight felt as terrifying as being scrutinized by Pei Lichuan.
“Don’t come near…” Xia Qiao trembled, retreating into the corner of the bed, praying that Moonlight wouldn’t bite her.
But the more you wish for something not to happen, the more likely it is to occur!
Suddenly, a whistle sounded from nowhere. Moonlight barked fiercely, jumped onto her bed, and bit her…
