After eight hours of sleep, Tang Shaoyang opened his eyes. He slept in the afternoon, it was right after he killed Mo Wen. Killing the person did not weigh him in any way, but he tortured the man first before killing him. Since this was his first time torturing someone, it was mental-taxing for him.
However, good sleep helped him to recover. The moment he opened his eyes, Zhang Mengyao's face came to his sight. He could hear a light snore from the girl and her breathing was steady, indicating she was sleeping soundly.
'She looks so tired...' he thought to himself as he slowly came down from the bed. He sat at the edge of the bed and stretched his stiff body for a moment.
[It's 10 pm, do you want me to tell the kitchen to prepare your dinner?] Origin's voice rang in his head.
Tang Shaoyang did not immediately answer the AI. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom, "Yes, but I want a light meal..." He paused midway as he thought of something, "If Li Yue's grandmother is still in the shift, I want her hand-made dumpling, and also a cup of coffee,"
After washing his face, he headed toward the exit lightly, making sure he did not wake Zhang Mengyao from her sleep. When he was out of the door, he noticed the door in front of him was opened with a slight gap. He could see light coming out from the gap, meaning there was someone inside the room.
"Huh!?" Tang Shaoyang was surprised. This floor was his room, four penthouse suites that combined into one with six bedrooms. He and Zhang Mengyao occupied one main bedroom, and the other bedrooms should be empty, but there was a light in the other main bedroom.
Curious, Tang Shaoyang pushed the door lightly and sneaked into the room. With a light step, he headed in the bed's direction. He then noticed feet hanging at the edge of the bed. The skin was smooth milky white, up to the thigh, he noticed it was a woman's feet. The thick thigh told him.
As he got closer to the bed, he started to hear steady breathing. Then a full sight of a woman sleeping came into Tang Shaoyang's eyes. To his surprise, the woman on the bed was the swan he saved from the hospital. On top of that, she also wore his shirt.
'How could she be here?' That was what he thought when he saw the girl. In order to get to this floor, she needed his permission or Zhang Mengyao's. Even if Origin wanted to get the girl to this floor, it needed at least Zhang Mengyao's consent.
If she was here, 'Does that mean Zhang Mengyao agrees?', as these thoughts floated in his head, a smile formed on his lips, "In the end, I have to talk with Zhang Mengyao first," he muttered.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
Tang Shaoyang approached the bed, he lifted the girl's feet to the bed, and he then covered her with the blanket, "What a careless girl..."
Afterward, he left the room. He did not forget to close the door before he went down to the second floor. When he reached the cafeteria, he saw the grandma who made the dumping standing next to a table. On the table, there was a steaming basket.
The smile on his face was getting thicker at the sight of the steaming basket, "Thank you for preparing the dumpling for me, Li Yue Grandma," he did not forget to thank the old lady as he approached the table.
"Hoho," the old lady smiled happily as she waved her hand, "This is my job, you don't need to thank me,"
Tang Shaoyang merely smiled at the old lady's response. Just as he was about to sit, he saw the little girl Li Yue was sleeping on the chair. She slept soundly while leaning her back against the hard wooden chair. He was about to sit next to the little girl, but then he noticed a red scratch around her neck.
He frowned and looked toward the old lady, "What happened to Li Yue's neck?" It was not a mark that mosquitoes would leave. It was a scratch of someone's nail, he could tell that with one look.
"Huhu, Leader Tang surely has a sharp eye," the old lady laughed as she looked at her lovely granddaughter, "She fought with the new kids from the Century Orphanage. The new kids said you were evil but my little girl could not accept that so she argued with them. It was just a children's fight, nothing serious," the old lady waved her hand casually, indicating it was nothing serious.
If it was an adult who did that, Tang Shaoyang might do something for the little girl. Since it was a children's fight, he could not meddle in it, "I hope you enjoy the food," the old lady wanted to pick Li Yue, but he prevented her.
He called a male staff from the kitchen and told him to carry Li Yue, "Thank you for your concern, Leader Tang," the old lady did not refuse the help but she thanked him.
Afterward, Tang Shaoyang enjoyed the feast. Beside the steaming hot black coffee, there was also a cold orange juice. He finished the basket of dumplings and a glass of orange juice in fifteen minutes.
