Chapter 379 - 380: Nothing but a Scapegoat
Shao He frowned and said, "Do they really have nothing but tofu dregs in their heads? Thinking they can get rid of me like this, don’t they know that every action leaves traces? Did they really think it’s that easy to throw dirty water on someone?"
Pei Huaian couldn’t help but laugh, his affection showing as he lightly scraped her upturned nose and said with a smile, "They are certainly not as clever as you."
"..."
"Can you lie down and rest now?"
In the end, Shao He resignedly lay down, wondering when such days would come to an end.
Three days later, even though she was being nourished by medicinal herbs, Shao He still felt weak, possibly due to lying down for too long. Taking advantage of when Pei Huaian was not there, she snuck out of bed.
Perhaps because her body was too weak, she hadn’t walked far before her feet began to feel light and she nearly fell, fortunately being supported in time to prevent a fall.
"What are you doing here?!" Pei Huaian’s cold voice came to her ears.
Shao He’s body instantly stiffened, and she slowly lifted her head to see his dark face, managing a sheepish smile, "Um, I was a bit thirsty and came over to pour myself some water."
"Really?"
Pei Huaian looked at her with an inscrutable smile, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
