Chapter 73 - This is a natural physical reaction (1/2)
”You are also here.” Wu Yixing grins at his friend. It's almost midnight. Visitors keep coming. His wife and the witch haven't finished their talk behind the closed door. His friend has barged directly into his wife's courtyard. Nobody can blame him for being upset.
Li Jun is not in the mood to play with him. ”Is she here?”
”Yes.” Wu Yixing sips the tea calmly.
Xiao Luo feels the tension between the men. She stares at the door. Lady is taking too long. Will she get sleep this night?
Li Jun is relieved to hear that the witch is here. Perhaps, she wanted to talk to Mo Qian about what happened at his house. She could have told him once. He would have brought her here with him. He has been worried sick about this cursed witch.
Something isn't right. He becomes suspicious after a while. Xiao Luo pours more tea for both of them. He doesn't drink. He loses his patience and walks to the door. He knocks it several times until Yoori opens it.
She rubs her eyes. ”Why are you here, General Li?”
”You fell asleep?” Wu Yixing rushes to her. Did she forget about him?
Li Jun ignores them and walks inside. He finds the room empty. Mo Wei has escaped again.
”Where is she?” He asks Yoori.
Yoori is stunned to hear him address her niece as a woman. He already knew? She glances at Wu Yixing. That poison master isn't surprised either. ”You both know that she's a woman?”
”Where is she?” Li Jun asks her with a clenched voice. Feeling like he lost something precious just after grasping it for bȧrėly a moment, he finds it difficult to breathe. ”Just tell me where she is.”
”Li Jun.” Wu Yixing warns him.
Yoori's eyes become calm. She realizes that her niece knew that they knew. There is another reason why she left. That reason is Li Jun.
”She came to say goodbye.”
Li Jun leaves right away. She couldn't have gone far. How far can she go on her two feet?
Wu Yixing doesn't chase his friend. He folds his arms and looks at Yoori. ”Have you forgotten about your antidote?”
She scowls at him darkly. ”How long have you known that I am a woman?”
”Since the moment I met you.” He grins and steps inside the room. He's a bit upset that his friend already revealed it to his wife. He planned to have more fun. He uncorks the vial and places it on the table. ”Drink if you don't want to die.”
Yoori looks at him suspiciously before picking up the vial and emptying its content. She's too angry to say anything to him. He knew! Still, he teased her mercilessly about her brėȧsts.
Wu Yixing smiles slyly when he sees her swallowing down her anger and throwing daggers at him with her eyes. Wife is so pretty when she is angry.
After a long silence, she opens her mouth to say, ”You must have a good laugh whenever I said that I was a man.”
”Yes.” He admits it without a second thought. Wu Yixing is sure that he saw faint smoke coming out her ears.
”Leave before I kill you.” Yoori clenches her fists and smiles. ”Get out of this place.”
”It's too late.” He quickly removes his outer robes. ”My place is too far from here.”
Yoori is never going to let him stay in her room. ”Get out now.”
”This place is also mine.” He points at the bed. ”This bed is big enough for both of us.”
”I am not sleeping with a man,” She yells at him. She would be an insane person if she still let him stay with her.
”You slept with me before.” He wraps his arms around her warm body before she can run away. ”By the way, do you still want to know?”
