After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 54

That night, Yun Dan had a rare good sleep without anyone disturbing her, and she even had a pleasant dream.

However, the dream ended up turning into Xiao Yueqing questioning her about why she hadn’t completed her mission, which scared Yun Dan so much that she jumped up directly.

After waking up in shock, Yun Dan realized it had only been a dream.

It seemed that Xiao Yueqing’s constant presence around her during this period had given her too much psychological pressure.

So much so that her daily thoughts became nightly dreams, and even in her dreams she was thinking about this undercover work.

Actually, what Yun Dan wanted to say was that it wasn’t that she was unwilling to carry out undercover work, but rather that she had no idea how many people were monitoring around Dongfang Wuchen.

What if she just went straight to him and got caught red-handed?

Moreover, Mulan was now also watching her, and this old woman was much more difficult to deal with than Dongfang Wuchen.

Yun Dan raised her head and looked outside the door – it seemed that dawn had already broken.

Since she no longer felt like going back to sleep, she prepared to get up.

For some unknown reason, as Yun Dan walked along her path, quite a few people greeted her.

These unfamiliar gestures made Yun Dan feel somewhat uneasy.

She finally made it outside Dongfang Wuchen’s room, only to be told that he had left early in the morning for some unknown business.

It seemed there were some important matters at the manor.

Yun Dan scratched her head, thinking she could only return empty-handed.

However, halfway back, she was stopped by a servant.

“Miss Yun Dan, Young Master Luoyue asked me to find you, saying he wants you to come brew tea for him.”

When the servant said this, several maids happened to be passing by behind him.

This statement caused those maids to stare at her.

Looking carefully, weren’t these the same maids who had been discussing Young Master Luoyue yesterday?

Yun Dan cleared her throat and said, “Alright then, I’ll go over now.”

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Dan left, those people couldn’t help but start discussing her.

“Isn’t this a woman that our young manor lord kept? How did she suddenly become familiar with Young Master Luoyue? Could it be that the two of them have been secretly involved all along? Otherwise, why would Young Master Luoyue specifically ask for her?”

“I don’t know. I thought our young manor lord had taken a fancy to her. From the looks of it, the situation seems to have changed.”

“Yesterday didn’t you say that Young Master Luoyue seemed to have a preference for men? How could he still seek out women? Could we have been mistaken?”

This trip was under tremendous pressure for Yun Dan as she finally arrived outside Young Master Luoyue’s courtyard.

Seeing Yan Ke drinking tea in the courtyard, Yun Dan felt her anger subside considerably.

Who told her she was a face-obsessed person?

Although she couldn’t figure out exactly what Yan Ke intended to do, Yun Dan still walked over and greeted him.

“Young Master, you were looking for me?”

Yan Ke raised one hand and pointed to the seat across from him, saying, “Sit down. Have you eaten?”

“I have, but Young Master, why did you ask me to come brew tea? I’m not a maid of the manor, and this manor should have dedicated people to serve you. It’s not appropriate to ask me, is it?”

However, Yan Ke held his teacup and chuckled softly, “My being at this manor is already giving Dongfang Jue great face. I have a life-saving grace with him. Not to mention wanting a person, even if I wanted half the manor, he would probably give it to me.

He entrusted me to help investigate here. Last night someone attempted an assassination and he was injured. I was called in the middle of the night to treat his wounds and just returned not long ago. Can’t I even ask you to accompany me for a cup of tea? Ah, I’m really too pitiful.”

Yun Dan’s heart immediately skipped a beat.

She thought about how Xiao Yueqing seemed to be at the manor yesterday.

Could he have gone to assassinate Dongfang Jue?

But on second thought, that was impossible.

Although he did want the treasure map, if he wanted to act personally, why would he resort to assassination?

That would be like putting a sign on his forehead saying “I’m the bad guy, come catch me.”

Yun Dan picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, feeling she needed to calm her emotions.

When she turned back, she found Yan Ke staring at her.

“That’s my teacup you took. Do you like my teacup so much?”

Yun Dan felt somewhat embarrassed by what Yan Ke said.

She felt like this person was doing it on purpose.

She didn’t know why, but even though they had only met for the first time yesterday, this person always did some very inexplicable things.

However, that last sentence did give Yun Dan a way out.

Since there were steps to climb down, Yun Dan naturally wouldn’t be tactless and followed along.

“Since I took your teacup, then you can have my teacup.”

However, while pouring tea, Yun Dan couldn’t help but glance at Yan Ke several times.

At this moment, the four words “peerless beauty” floated through her mind.

Yesterday the lighting wasn’t very good, so Yun Dan hadn’t seen Yan Ke’s full face clearly, only knowing that he was particularly beautiful.

Yes, beautiful.

She never thought that one day she would use “beautiful” to describe a man.

The hand holding the teapot was very pale, and perhaps because of his slender build, she could even see some veins showing through.

But this didn’t look terrifying at all; instead, it added some beauty.

His fingers were long and slender – the kind of hands that would make hand-fetishists go crazy at first sight.

She clearly wasn’t a hand-fetishist, but why couldn’t she help but admire these hands?

This must be a miracle of creation, right?

A cup of tea was placed in front of her. “Have some tea. This is freshly brewed. Last night Miss Yun specially brought hot water for me, and I’m very grateful, so let me brew tea for Miss Yun, shall I?”

Yun Dan would naturally not refuse.

A beauty brewing tea – it would be foolish not to drink it.

Thinking of those little maids discussing Yan Ke earlier, Yun Dan couldn’t help but think: Your male god is inviting me for tea!

Because it was broad daylight, Yun Dan noticed for the first time that he actually had a tear mole under his right eye corner.

Combined with what seemed to be his poor health, the entire person could be described with one word – fragile beauty.

But Yun Dan always felt that this face seemed somewhat familiar.

Although she was certain she had never seen him before, yesterday being the first time.

Yet there was this inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After thinking about it, perhaps all beauties had something in common.

“But Young Master, you said you were busy all night and treated the manor lord’s wounds. Aren’t you sleepy?”

Yun Dan felt that if it were her, after staying up all night, she would probably be dead tired by now.

She sighed again in her heart – people here really had good stamina.

Truly worthy of martial artists.

“Why does Miss Yun keep staring at me?”

“Oh, I just noticed you have a tear mole. I heard before that people with tear moles all have bitter fates…”

Yan Ke suddenly leaned close to her and teased, “So Miss, do you think I have a bitter fate?”
