39 HE WAS A SHAM (1/2)

”Lady Lingxi!.... Lady Lingxi.....open the door...”

The soft knocking eventually started to turn into successive ramming. Yanyan kept on pounding on Mu Lingxi's door but she did not get any answer from her young miss.

She saw her young miss returned to her room this morning. She seems to be in a bad mood so Yanyan decided not to disturb her.

Until lunchtime came. Just like usual, she was tasked to bring the meal to her young miss' room. Yet when she asked for permission to came in, no one responded.

Which is very uncommon to her young miss, who was definitely a food lover. Every time she will bring food to her room, her young miss never fails to greet her with much enthusiasm.

It's either the black cat who will first greet her at the window or her young miss who would personally open the door for her to come in. As if she was inviting a friend instead of a maid.

But this time is different. She had been knocking on the door for quite some time now but still, no one was responding to her call. There is no movement coming inside the room.

Yanyan's constant knocking on the door of Mu Lingxi's room causes a ruckus to the servants passing by. Not too long later, the head of the Mu clan arrived.

”What's happening in here????”

Mu Ruochen questioned the maid who was pounding hard on his granddaughter's door when he arrived at the small terrace leading to the only door where Yanyan was busy calling Mu Lingxi's name.

Yanyan was petrified when she heard the familiar voice of their head clan.

When she turned around and saw him brooding over her, it was as if everything turned silent around her.

The maid's sickly pallor got worst as her face turned ashen. With a quivering voice, she asked,

”H-he-head clan???????!”

She almost peed on her skirt as her legs almost turned into jelly and losses its strength.

Yanyan slumped on the floor and started bawling. She was too afraid to see their head clan since she was suspecting that her young miss was up to no good.

”I-- I-- I was about to bring young miss her meal for today but she was not opening the door, and there is no movement inside.”

”TSK! Move aside! What are you crying for???”

Mu Ruochen kicked Yanyan away. He was too irritated to see her face crying like that.
