Chapter 8: The Mistress' Provocation (8)
After getting a grip on her emotions, she headed downstairs for breakfast. Auntie Li inched closer towards her and asked, “Young Madam, last night you and Young Master… how did it feel?”
Luo Anning spat the sip of water that she had just drank.
Auntie Li’s face stiffened while Luo Anning grabbed the napkin and began wiping the water off her face awkwardly. “Auntie Li, I’m really sorry. I didn’t do this on purpose… ”
Auntie Li grabbed the napkin and began wiping herself down. Not planning to change the subject, she continued to probe, “Young Madam, tell me, did you and Young Master Rong get down to business last night?”
“No… ” Luo Anning murmured while her ears turned red. She picked up her cutlery and began having her breakfast in a bid to hide her emotions.
“How can that be? I clearly drugged the dishes last night and you obviously ate the food from the refrigerator… Young Master Rong has also stayed over at the mansion for the first time. Logically speaking, you two must have already done the deed… ” Auntie Li mumbled while analyzing the situation.
Turning as red as a tomato, Luo Anning threw the cutlery and barked, “Auntie Li, so you were the one who drugged the food!?!”
Auntie Li retreated immediately and said, “Young Madam, I was just doing it for your own good. You and Young Master Rong have been married for two years and yet, you’ve never been intimate with each other before. If you still don’t get pregnant, I’m afraid your status might be unstable… ”
“Why are you worrying when I’m not afraid at all? Besides, who told you to mess with my affairs? Do you know that your presumptuous actions have landed me in hot soup!?!” The thought of her consumption of the dishes being the reason for her outrageous act last night, made her feel extremely flustered.
