Chapter 206 - Morning Surprise (2/2)
Xiao Ruo blinked and shook her head, she turned to the other maids, who also shook their heads. Lei Xing frowned and then asked, ”Where is Ah Jin?”
Xiao Ruo blinked in confusion and answered, ”Um, she should still be asleep in her room...” As soon as her words fell, Lei Xing stormed forward but then when she turned the corner, she stopped, realizing she did not know the way, she turned back to Xiao Ruo and ordered, ”Lead the way...”
Xiao Ruo nodded and quickly led the way. When they arrived Lei Xing burst into the room, causing Ah Jin to jump up from her sleep. Before Ah Jin could process what was going on, Lei Xing asked, ”Where is the bracelet I gave you last night?”
Ah Jin blinked in surprise and then quickly scrambled to the drawers on the side, picked up a box and held it out to Lei Xing.
Lei Xing eyed her and the box but did not take it. She glanced at Xiao Ruo and the other two maids who had followed her and then she said to Ah Jin, ”Follow me.” And walked out.
Lei Xing walked outside the building with Ah Jin following closely. She stopped at the pavilion, out of earshot of the others and scrutinized Ah Jin for a bit and then calmly said, ”Open it.”
Ah Jin glanced up at Lei Xing, then she pursed her lips and opened the box. Her eyes immediately went wide and she glanced up at Lei Xing in disbelief, ”I-it's e-em, e-e-m-”
”Empty.” Lei Xing finished for her and then raised her sleeve and showed her bracelet, Ah Jin blinked at Lei Xing's wrist and then nodded and went, ”O-oh...” Lei Xing narrowed her eyes at her and then said, ”Explain.”
Ah Jin blinked at Lei Xing and then glanced down at the bracelet and said, ”I d-don't understand.”
Lei Xing knit her brows and then went, ”The first time you saw this bracelet on me, you were shocked. I told you it was Tung Mei's and you didn't say anything, I even sent you to go tell her to come to retrieve it. Yet you still didn't mention the bracelet familiar... And now I gave you the same stupid bracelet and it disappeared from your box to my wrist, and your reaction was simply to blink and nod? What do you think? I snuck into your room in the middle of the night to take it and then decided to barge into your room this morning just to terrorize you?” Lei Xing said all that in one exasperated breath.
”I-I...” Ah Jin nervously began but could not seem to find the words, She eventually fell on her knees and awkwardly said, ”I-I don't know what I thought...I-I panicked, it was empty, then it was on your wrist. I was relieved and...I-don't understand.”
”I'm the one who doesn't understand...” Lei Xing said under breath, exasperated. She was not even sure what she was accusing Ah Jin of right now.
{...Honestly, what am I even thinking? That she somehow snuck into the room with no one seeing her and - *sigh* Sounds absurd -_-)'...}
{...*Stop terrorizing the poor girl. I go where I want when I want ( ￣^￣ )...You should be happy to have me...I even left you alone for a long time so you two could properly ”celebrate”. See, I am most considerate. Be grateful!...}
Lei Xing frowned in annoyance.
{...So you expect me to believe that you vanish- Okay, okay, talking bracelet, so not so impossible -_-)...}
{...*Well, I am brilliant so naturally...You have no clue~ ^_^)...}
