“Ah! You beast! Help!”

“Stupid girl! How dare you…”

Hearing the sound from inside, Zou Meng paled visibly with anxiety, though being a rough guy. He was on the point of breaking into the study when he thought better of it. He was so anxious that he seized Ning Chao who was standing aside. It seemed that Ning Chao was undisturbed by the sound inside.

“Ning Chao, what should we do? What is our lord going to do? Miss Ruan is so…”

“So weird!” Ning Chao said silently.

“How could you be so calm?” Zou Meng stared at Ning Chao, Beiming Xuan’s most trusted subordinate. He was always the most anxious one if something like this happened. So it was hard to believe that now he was so calm and even a little bit freaky.

Zou Meng didn’t know that Ning Chao and Murong had already encountered the same thing.

Ning Chao believed that his lord would prefer to make love without any disturbance.

“Let it be. All we need to do is to stay on guard. Our lord would be all right” Ning Chao patted Zou Meng perfunctorily and mouthed some empty comforting words.

Zou Meng froze with surprise. The lord would be all right? Actually he was worrying about Miss Ruan instead of their lord.

In the study.

Beiming Xuan’s unfathomable-looking eyes blazed with fury. He placed himself over Ruan Jiujiu on the bed, but Ruan Jiujiu hooked one of her legs to his waist. He twisted her arms above her head, but she kept struggling to get free from his control.

With obvious recalcitrance and unwillingness to submit.

Silly girl! He couldn’t believe she had the audacity to frown at him when she came in. How dare she lose her temper before him for lack of sleep as if justice was on her side!

She was supposed to think about how inferior she was and the superior status he enjoyed. And she should have been aware that she was now in the control of Beiming Xuan!

He glared hostilely at Ruan Jiujiu. Ruan Jiujiu met his glare without flinching.

It was impossible to keep one’s temper if he got up on the wrong side of the bed. Having flown into rage, Ruan Jiujiu completely forgot how distinguished Beiming Xuan, the man currently placing himself over her, was.

She was totally engulfed in fury!

She did not understand why she was not allowed to sleep and was even dragged to wait on Beiming Xuan.

She had never been treated like that. It was so stupid of them to believe that she was the submissive former infanta. She, belonging to modern times, was also an orphan girl, but she was so tough that no one dared to bully her.

That was the reason why Ruan Jiujiu flew into fury, believing justice was on her side. However, she could not tell the truth, for it would be hard for Beiming Xuan to understand her time traveling experience.

And Beiming Xuan had already been enraged, for his dignity as a lord had been trampled by her. It would be impossible for him to accept any kind of explanation.

“Ruan Jiujiu, are you courting death?” He lowered his voice, with a more murderous look on his face. Instead of being intimidated by Beiming Xuan’s threat, Ruan Jiujiu demonstrated her stronger spirit of resistance. She straightened up her neck and stared at Beiming Xuan: “That is exactly what I am going to ask you.”

Beiming Xuan’s dark eyes were instantly filled with coldness. Death was in the air, if looks could kill…

“Ruan Jiujiu, don’t you know who I am?”

It occurred to her that Beiming Xuan enjoyed high status, causing a slight flutter of her eyelashes. Indeed, she was by no means afraid of him.

She had already known how distinguished Beiming Xuan was.

That submissive former infanta could not make her presence felt. In stark contrast to her, Beiming Xuan enjoyed extraordinarily high status. So the former infanta must have known who Beiming Xuan was.
