Chapter 343 - The accident (2/2)
”And a lot of new things to see right!” Yue Yan answered, her face lighting up with new cheer
”As long as you're taking it easy”
”Who me? All I do is sleep.” She smirked
”You'll miss it soon” Yan Mei replied I'm the same tone
”I can't wait.”
The conversation continued in light banter until she left to go prepare for work.
Yan Mei dressed up in another practical pantsuit with a hint of seductive flair as while her thoughts centered on her house-guest, of course, she had her misgiving when she heard the story from Lei Zhao but only for a second.

Then suddenly Yue Yan was there, tray in hand diverting the flow of that water so that it splashed in multiple harmless directions, most of it streaming to the tiled floor
She was so shaken she didn't even register the little burns and small dots of hot water passed through the fabric of her suit trousers and scalded the skin lightly.
”Jesus Christ!” The sudden shout from her housekeeper jolted the entire occupants of the room.
”Are you alright? Are you okay?” I
