Chapter 381 Uninvited Guest
Chapter 381 Uninvited Guest
Cheng Yan smiled as he watched Dotore pretending to be unhappy. There was music playing outside the private room and in front of him was his lovely lover. He wished time would stop at this moment forever.
"Squeak-"
The door was pushed open and a humble and pleasant-looking boy walked in. Unlike the other servants, this boy was dressed very conservatively, with his clothes buttoned almost to his neck. The pure white shirt was matched with an emerald green outer garment, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.
The tray of fruit was gently placed on the table. The boy bent over, his long eyelashes drooping, his little face looking a little thin, very pitiful.
Cheng Yan looked at his face and felt that he looked more and more familiar.
The boy never raised his head from beginning to end, and there was a hopeless look in his eyes.
When he turned around to leave, Cheng Yan called him.
"Wendy?"
The two people in the room turned their eyes to Cheng Yan.
There was confusion in Dotore's eyes, while Wendy's look was like someone in endless darkness seeing the first ray of light.
"Wu...Yanyan, why did you come here just now? I have been trapped here for a long time. They forced me to serve tea and water, and they didn't even let me eat enough food, and they didn't let me drink alcohol."
Heartbroken Wendy threw herself on Cheng Yan, tears streaming down her face, wetting Cheng Yan's clothes in an instant.
Cheng Yan hadn't figured out the situation yet, but he was already feeling heartbroken. He quickly helped the man sit down and wiped his tears.
"What's going on? Why are you trapped here?"
Wendy sobbed and said, "I, I came to find you. I saw this is a tavern, so I came in. The alcohol here is so expensive, I can't afford it, so they forced me to work here, otherwise they wouldn't let me leave... Woo."
Cheng Yan's temples throbbed when he heard this. He stood up, turned Wendy around several times, and looked at her carefully.
"I just forced you to work, not to do anything else!"
Wendy's blue eyes were filled with water and she shook her head slightly.
"No, they wanted me to do it, but I didn't want to. Maybe they wanted to force me to do it, so they didn't even give me food."
"That's unreasonable!"
Cheng Yan slammed the table and pulled Wendy out to find someone to ask for an explanation.
No... this seems to have something to do with the Fatui?
A laser-like gaze swept across my back, neither cold nor hot.
Cheng Yan's body was stiff and he didn't dare to look back. He swore that he definitely heard Zazan's sneer.
But Wendy in his arms...
Ah! Is this joyful pain about to begin again?
"Great... Great, can you come with us to find out what's going on..."
Dotore stood still, as if he had turned himself into a statue.
Wendy held Cheng Yan's fingers, and she could see his pitiful eyes when she turned her head.
In the past, Wendy and Zanzan were the ones most likely to quarrel or fight when they met. Now that they are no longer quarreling, why is it still so difficult for me to be caught in the middle?
Patting Wendy's hand soothingly, Cheng Yanxiaoyi sat back down beside Dotore attentively.
"Zan Zan, you know I'm not good at talking. What if I can't win the argument? What if I get detained myself?"
Dottore had a creepy smile on his face.
"Then I will redeem you, and then spend Mora to let the people here torture him to death."
What terrible words!
“…Great~”
Cheng Yan acted like a spoiled brat and decided that no matter how Dotorre would settle the score in the future, he must take Wendy out.
"You can let me save him. You go out first. I'll talk to him alone."
Cheng Yan took a deep breath. He had seen the consequences of leaving these two alone together.
Both of them were covered in wounds and he had to apply medicine to them.
I was just about to find an excuse to dissuade Dotore from this idea.
But then I heard Wendy's voice, "It's okay, Yanyan, I'll talk to him."
The atmosphere in the room was weird, but Dotole refused to give in today, and Cheng Yan was not confident enough to take Wendy out openly on his own.
In the end, after Cheng Yan repeatedly warned them not to fight, he walked out of the room, looking back every few steps.
Silence returned to the house, and the only sound was the vibration of music in the hall downstairs.
After a moment, Dottore stared at Wendy and said, "You acted well."
Wendy no longer looked pitiful and tearful in front of Cheng Yan.
"Humph, you've occupied him for so long, it's time for someone else to take his turn."
