Chapter 66 - I am cursed to live like this (2/2)
She finally looks at him. ”You were good at acting. It's no wonder that your reincarnation will become an actor in the future.”
”My reincarnation will be an actor?” He raises his brow. He finds that ridiculous. ”You can see the future?”
She turns her head away. ”No.”
He lets it go. This witch and her secrets. ”How did you get poisoned?”
”It's not poison. I am cursed to live like this.”
It gives him heartache to see such sorrow in her eyes. He doesn't prod her more. The carriage stops in front of the main gate of the Li residence. It's already dark.
”The Li family owes you.” He offers his hand to her. ”Stay with us as long as you wish to. Think that it's your home.”
She doesn't take his outstretched hand and smiles playfully. ”I won't forget that I am a hostage.”

When Kwon Yoori wakes up, she finds Wu Yixing gone. She stares at the empty spot. It's cold. He must have left early. Her niece would trust a man like him to cure the poison. Yoori realizes that she never asked her niece whether she also liked Wu Yixing in the original timeline.
It doesn't matter. Things are not happening the same way in this lifetime. Wu Yixing doesn't know that she is a woman. That doesn't bother him much though. He teases her endlessly. She looks down at her ċhėst. He really thinks that they are fake. Tch! Idiot.
He is a popular playboy of this era. Is it not similar to rich spoiled chaebol playboys of her time? Hasn't he been with enough women to know what's fake and what's real?
There is no way that she would like a man who poisoned her and can't differentiate between real and fake ȧssets of a woman.
”Lady.” A servant girl peeks in. She's around 17. This girl has been following her around since Yoori came here. ”Are you awake?”
Yoori sighs. She is never getting used to having servants. ”Xiao Luo, come inside. I am awake.”
Xiao Luo helps her clean her face. ”Lady Feng, Master instructed us to show you the empty courtyards. You can choose any that you like.”
”I choose the one that's most far from this one.”
”That... ” Xiao Luo has been instructed to accept her words without any question. She hesitates before she says, ”Young lady, it takes more than an hour to walk to that courtyard.”
”That's wonderful.” Yoori wonders how large this residence is. Nevertheless, she would like it if it's far. That way, she won't be seeing Wu Yixing much. ”Take me there right away.”
