Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Jealous Ye Sanshao (5)_1

After changing into a set of comfortable clothes, by the time she walked out, the sky had just begun to brighten; dawn was approaching. At this thought, Shangguan You’s expression changed. Oh no, Liu Ruoling is sleeping in my room! If she discovers I wasn’t here in the middle of the night, it will surely spell big trouble!

"Zhuge Feng, I’m leaving. As for Third Young Master Ye, please thank him properly for me." As soon as Shangguan You finished speaking, she soared several yards away. Since they had all seen her abilities, she simply flew directly.

"I know, you take care too," Zhuge Feng shouted loudly toward her fading silhouette.

"Mhm." Her voice came from afar; she was already a great distance away. Third Young Master Ye smiled faintly, staring at the spot where she had disappeared, lost in thought for a long time.

As soon as Shangguan You leaped through the window back into her room and lay down, Liu Ruoling yawned and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Shangguan You breathing steadily beside her, Liu Ruoling smiled joyfully and pulled the quilt over her. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"What a child who never grows up," Liu Ruoling murmured softly. "Still afraid of the cold just like when she was little, even sleeping in her clothes at night." She then lightly placed a good morning kiss on Shangguan You’s forehead before quietly opening the door and stepping out. Her movements were gentle, careful not to wake her.

Only when the sound of footsteps faded did Shangguan You open her eyes and let out a big sigh of relief. Thankfully, I made it back in time; otherwise, Liu Ruoling and the others would have surely been frightened.

Gently touching her forehead, Shangguan You thought, Liu Ruoling seems to care about me a bit too much; she’s never even shown this much concern for Brother Qing. Shangguan You shook her head, but she really enjoyed this feeling of happiness.

Seeing that it was still not fully light outside, Shangguan You closed her eyes, planning to take a short nap. There were many things to do during the day. This trip to Beijing will definitely be lively, she felt. Moreover, Shangguan Rou and her mother will probably visit soon in the daytime.

As it turned out, Shangguan You’s guess was spot on. She was still in her dreams when she was awakened by light laughter.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Shangguan Qing’s handsome, gentle face and his warm smile. Shangguan Qing was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at Shangguan You’s unguarded sleeping posture.

Shangguan You’s face flushed, and she felt somewhat flustered as she withdrew her foot, which had somehow ended up resting on Shangguan Qing’s thigh. I usually sleep so well-behaved, but given my current position with Shangguan Qing, even if I have thick skin, I still feel somewhat embarrassed.

"’Girl, don’t you take off your clothes when you sleep?’" Shangguan Qing teased with a light laugh, looking at Shangguan You, who had covered her head with the quilt. Originally, Mommy had asked him to wake Shangguan You. He used to do it when they were younger, but now, after all, the girl had grown up. Although he was willing, he worried she might get angry. Yet, Mommy still asked him to wake her; surely she had her reasons. Little did I know, this girl doesn’t even take off her clothes when she sleeps, nor does she cover herself with the quilt; she just hugs it. Just as he was about to wake her, her feet naturally pressed over onto him.

Seeing her pouting with an adorable expression, Shangguan Qing couldn’t help but let out a light laugh. His laughter indeed woke the girl up.

The girl opened her somewhat groggy eyes and glanced at him, then realized her leg was resting on his. She shyly hid under the blanket, prompting Shangguan Qing to tease her. The girl is so cute right now; it makes me want to pull her into a tight hug.

Shangguan You felt her face heat up, and she burrowed into the blankets. So embarrassing, so embarrassing! How on earth did my foot end up on Shangguan Qing’s body? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"’Heh, the girl is actually feeling shy,’ he chuckled playfully. ’When you were little, I saw you like this all the time. Grandpa and Dad are waiting downstairs for you to go for a morning run. Grandma and Aunty Li have come over too. They’re waiting for us to get back from the run to have breakfast together. Get up already; it’s really too much for someone your age to be lounging in bed, girl.’"

Shangguan Qing chuckled lightly, looking at the motionless figure under the blanket. His tall frame rose as he stood up and yanked the blanket away, laughing out loud at the sight of the girl’s blushing face underneath.

"Brother Qing, you’re laughing at me." Shangguan You plopped down on the bed, her face filled with gloom as she looked at the slight smile on Shangguan Qing’s lips, feeling extremely frustrated. My image as a beautiful young maiden, my persona as a good, obedient girl—all ruined in front of Shangguan Qing! Good thing I was wearing clothes to sleep! Otherwise, Shangguan Qing would have seen everything. If that happened, I would have suffered a huge loss!

"’No matter how the girl looks, she’s always the most beautiful. And Brother Qing is laughing because you’re the girl. If you weren’t the girl, do you think I’d be willing to laugh?’" Shangguan Qing said, smiling softly. He laughed gently and ruffled her messy hair with his large hand. Seeing her look so downcast, his mood improved even more, and the frustration from being tied up the night before seemed to fade away.

One sat sulking on the bed, and the other stood at the bedside, gently stroking her hair, filling the room with a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Sister, why aren’t you up yet? You should know Grandma and Mommy have been waiting for you downstairs since early this morning. They arrived before dawn to have breakfast with you, yet here you are still sleeping! Grandpa and Uncle are waiting too. You know Grandma is old, yet she got up. How can you, as a junior, have the nerve to keep lying in bed?"

A saccharine voice broke the warm atmosphere in the room as Shangguan Rou’s figure appeared at the doorway. She looked at the two—one sitting, one standing—and spoke softly. However, her tone was somehow grating. A swift flash of coldness crossed her eyes, followed by a jealous gaze toward the pair in the room.

"Sister, even though you’re back in your own home, you still need to maintain a routine of going to bed early and rising early. You couldn’t possibly have forgotten the family’s rules just because you spent half a year in B City, could you?" Shangguan Rou spoke sourly, her gaze on Shangguan You filled with even more resentment. Last night, Shangguan Qing took *her* to the banquet, and *she* completely stole the show! Why wouldn’t Shangguan Qing take *me*? I’m also a daughter of the Shangguan Family! Her uncle’s family was just too biased!

Shangguan You’s eyes turned cold as she cast a dismissive glance at Shangguan Rou, then shifted her gaze to the window. Looking at the faintly dawning sky, a small smile played on her lips. Damn it! I just got back and hadn’t slept for even an hour before being woken up. And what’s with Shangguan Rou and Li Wanying? Are that mother-daughter duo crazy, running over here so early in the morning without any sleep? What does it have to do with me?
