Chapter 1 The Misunderstanding

The thunderstorm had passed, but the light patter of rain continued.

It wasn't until after five in the morning that the rain finally stopped, leaving the sky still overcast.

Inside the Su family mansion.

Several maids were the first to rise, quietly washing up before some went to sweep water in the courtyard, while others started preparing breakfast.

One of the middle-aged maids was sweeping fallen leaves in the courtyard when she suddenly noticed that a window on the second floor was open, instantly startling her.

She remembered cleaning the young master's study yesterday and forgetting to close the window after airing it out.

Afraid that rainwater would get into the room, wetting the books on the shelves and bringing blame upon herself.

She couldn't bother continuing to sweep the floor and hurried upstairs to see what the situation was...

Second Madam was an early riser.

She came downstairs in her pajamas, already with a facial mask on, and instructed the maid to buy some American ginseng and red dates to make pork belly soup in the evening.

Thinking about going shopping with her old friends during the day, she also had someone prepare the newly bought dress and retrieve the black pearl necklace that had been sent for repairs some time ago.

As a wealthy lady, her days were filled with nothing but trivial matters like these. Then, she began to worry about preparing a decent gift for Jiang Yu, looking for an opportunity to chat with her parents about adopting her as a goddaughter.

Second Madam didn't have any children herself, and seeing some of her friends already having grandchildren, she couldn't help but feel envious.

She couldn't hope for her own, so a goddaughter would be good too.

As for Su Yehao...

Even though they had lived under the same roof for many years, they still couldn't become close. Besides, Second Madam didn't have the courage to compete with Tang's mother for anything. Just thinking about it made her skin crawl.

After all, the scale of the Tang family in Hong Kong was already impressive. Old Master Tang gave away a mansion worth over a hundred million without hesitation.

There were also different levels among the wealthy, and Second Madam lost in every aspect.

While flipping through shopping magazines, considering whether to give Jiang Yu a watch or something, she suddenly saw the Wang maid, walking downstairs in a panic, her face full of joy.

Second Madam said with dissatisfaction:

"I was planning to sleep a little longer. Aunt Wang, don't rush to clean my room. I'm going out during the day, so it's not too late to clean it then."

"It's not that, Second Madam! I went to the young master's room to close the window just now and saw Miss Jiang was there too!"

Having been a servant for most of her life, Aunt Wang knew the rules. After speaking, she worried about being blamed and added, "It rained heavily last night, and I just happened to see that the young master's study window wasn't closed. If rainwater got in, things would easily get damp and moldy."

Hearing this.

Second Madam had no mind to consider these things. She was idle all day long and loved gossip the most. She instantly tore off her mask, her eyes shining, and asked, "Are you saying that little Jiang Yu slept with little Hao last night!?"

"...That's right, the two of them are still sleeping, hugging each other, with only their heads exposed." Aunt Wang said in a low voice.

Second Madam instantly grinned from ear to ear.

She immediately thought that it was no wonder Su Yehao was so impatient last night, treating her words like a passing breeze. It turned out that he had already gotten what he wanted and was ahead of her. The methods she taught were naturally useless.

In that instant, Second Madam's gossip fire was burning fiercely.

Fortunately, she still knew her place and sincerely considered this imperfect little family, earnestly instructing Aunt Wang, "Are you the only one who knows? You must act as if nothing happened and don't spread it to anyone. If it affects little Hao's reputation outside, the master will definitely kick you out!"

"I understand what can and cannot be said."

Aunt Wang had been working here for more than ten years and had witnessed Su Yehao growing from a little baby all the way to the present.

This was the first time she had encountered such gossip, and she was secretly happy about it.

Second Madam was a little restless and wanted to go upstairs to see for herself, but she was afraid of running into something she shouldn't see, so she hesitated and struggled.

In the end, she only sighed that he had indeed grown up and didn't need her to worry about him at all. He was very skilled.

Silently taking her down...

————————————

Young people sleep soundly.

Su Yehao had no idea that a misunderstanding had already occurred. He had slept soundly since last night and hadn't woken up at all. He was still asleep.

His nose was tickled by hair, but he didn't think too much about it in his drowsiness.

He reached out his hand and touched a flat stomach, his palm passing through the edge of the nightgown, exploring upwards.

Half asleep, he only had a vague thought in his mind – how did it shrink?

Early in the morning.

He subconsciously arched his back and continued to hug her to sleep.

More than ten minutes passed like this.

In her sleep, Jiang Yu felt like her whole body was being pressed down, unable to turn over, and a little out of breath.

She stretched and yawned, feeling refreshed and comfortable after waking up.

After she came to her senses a little.

Her expression froze, and she had already noticed some abnormalities, such as the warmth on her chest... what was going on?

Memories flooded back like a tide, and she finally realized that this was Su Yehao's room. She instantly had the urge to scream, but she held her mouth shut.

Not only was she being hugged, but something was pressing against her from behind.

At this moment.

Jiang Yu's whole body was stiff, and she didn't dare to turn her head, almost fainting from nervousness.

One second... five seconds... ten seconds...

Her mind was blank, and there was only a little girl crying and running around in Jiang Yu's head.

The little toes outside the blanket were so tense that they were digging in. If she had a mountain, she could dig a tunnel out of it.

The level of social embarrassment far exceeded the last time in the study next door.

Her soul had already left her body, her mouth agape in a daze, but she was being pressed down and couldn't even move.

The sound of a car horn came from the road not far away.

Su Yehao was disturbed by the noise and subconsciously twisted his head, his hand pinching, still not waking up.

This allowed Jiang Yu to regain her senses again.

She was enduring the pressure that she shouldn't be bearing at this age, while twisting her body slightly to the side, trying to get Su Yehao to let go.

But that person was not being cooperative and hugged her even tighter.

The wrongness under the blanket made Jiang Yu's spirit highly tense. As a result, all the subtle sensations became incredibly clear.

Her soul left her body again.

Jiang Yu felt that her life had darkened and would never have light again.

She only dozed off for a while, how did she fall asleep?

Tears welled in her eyes, but she couldn't cry.

…

A few more minutes passed.

Jiang Yu's escape plan was still ongoing, afraid of waking Su Yehao.

As for Su Yehao, he had gone to bed early last night and had already noticed that there was someone beside him, who was scratching his arm from time to time, moving to the side.

Sleepy-eyed, he looked to the side.

He saw a small face, with a bit of tear stains in the corners of her eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It was none other than Jiang Yu.

Su Yehao was stunned for a moment. He had a vague impression of her coming over after the thunder last night.

Although he didn't understand why she was still sleeping when it was already daylight, Su Yehao knew exactly what he was holding in his hand... hey! A little white rabbit who took the initiative to come to his door?

Taking an inch, gaining an advantage and still acting innocent, he mumbled, "That's too much. I let you into the room, and you actually took advantage of me while I was sleeping and plotted against me?"

Jiang Yu was tired and numb.

Seeing Su Yehao wake up, she was already too lazy to move, just gritted her teeth, pulled away Su Yehao's hand.

Like a soulless puppet, she silently got out of bed and walked out.

Behind her.

A corner of her nightgown had ridden up.

Su Yehao saw it clearly, stretched, and clicked his tongue:

"How old are you, still wearing cartoon styles with strawberry patterns, interesting..."
