บท 28: Chapter 28: Jealousy
บรรณาธิการ: Dragon Boat Translation
After getting a good night's sleep, Ji Younai opened her eyes and woke up in a spacious, stylish bedroom. The snowy-white chiffon curtains were fluttering due to a cool breeze coming from the huge open-air balcony. The glass door connecting the bedroom and the balcony was also left ajar.
The warm rays of sunlight were casting in faintly, the birds were chirping, and the weather was beautiful.
She felt like her hands were wrapped up in warmth.
She looked to the side to see that Gong Siyu was lying on his side.
He did not cross the boundaries, simply interlocking his fingers tightly with hers. Even though they were sleeping, he did not let go of her at all.
Shortly after Ji Younai woke up, Gong Siyu, who had always been a light sleeper, opened his eyes too.
"You're up? Since you're awake, go take a shower."
He and Liu Yun had cleaned themselves at dawn, but she had yet to do so.
Dumbfounded, she looked at Gong Siyu and realized that the two of them were sleeping on the same bed. After being stunned for a moment, she frowned and questioned, "Why are we sleeping together?"
He sat up and pinched Ji Younai's face.
"I didn't see you getting upset in the asylum, where our beds were so close together. I merely caught some shuteye at the side of the bed for a while and you're unhappy now?" Feigning indignation, he continued with a stern expression, "Ji Younai, this is my room."
He sounded so righteous, as if it was normal that she ought to sleep next to him.
Knowing that she could never win in an argument against Gong Siyu, Ji Younai tossed and turned in bed before wrapping herself in the blanket and dashing into the bathroom.
After washing up, she felt clean and fragrant. She was then shocked to find out that she did not have any clothes to change into.
Wrapped in a towel, she opened the door a little and called out softly, in a tender voice, "Gong Siyu..."
Gong Siyu, who was originally sitting on one side of the lounge chair and watching a servant change the bedsheets, stood up and stepped over as soon as he heard Ji Younai's voice coming from the bathroom.
"What's the matter?"
"Um... I don't have any clothes to change into! What do I do?"
Through the crack, Gong Siyu looked into Ji Younai's large, pure, almond-shaped eyes. She was blinking slowly and looking up at him innocently, appearing very cute and extremely pretty.
After frowning and thinking about it for a while, Gong Siyu turned around and instructed his servants, "Go to Wen Yu's room and look for a set of clean clothes that she has never worn before. Bring them over." After saying that, he turned to look at Ji Younai again. With a faint smile, he said, "Just bear with it and wear what they bring for now. I'll take you out to get some clothes later."
Wen Yu.
This was Ji Younai's first time hearing that name.
Soon, she recalled the first time she went to Gong Siyu's house. At that time, he was severely injured and the servants had prepared a set of clothes for her, ones that belonged to 'Ms. Wen.'
'Is Ms. Wen actually Wen Yu? What a nice name.'
Ji Younai wanted to ask who Wen Yu was but when she was about to do it, she could not bring herself to ask the question.
She felt that it would seem rather random.
However… She felt that the woman named Wen Yu had an extraordinary relationship with Gong Siyu.
Ji Younai left the room after changing into the set of fresh clothes.
It was April, the time when the temperatures were getting warmer.
The servants picked an extremely simple outfit for Ji Younai, consisting of a plain long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of jeans. The undergarment that they had given her was brand new, with the tags still on. The size did not fit her but she could still make do, as she was wearing it below the T-shirt.
The tight-fitting capri jeans made Ji Younai's long and slender legs look straight and perfect.
The long-sleeved, white T-shirt was embellished with pearl sequins and wrapped tightly around her body, accentuating her slender waist beautifully.
Her waist-length hair was neatly tied up into a high ponytail on the back of her head. Barefaced, she looked clean and pure, and her fair and translucent skin looked just like lamb fat jade. Due to her anemia, her tiny mouth was pale, and she looked a little sickly and weak...
Gong Siyu twirled Ji Younai around in front of him, nodding with satisfaction.
She was extremely beautiful, resembling a fairy who had not yet been tainted or marred by the world.
However... Her undergarment did not seem to be fitting very well.
"Is it too small?"
Ji Younai looked down and nodded shyly. "It's alright, as long as I can wear it."
Gong Siyu finally discovered that the thin and feeble Ji Younai, who looked like a weak willow that would be blown away by the wind, was actually rather well-endowed. The patient's gown that she wore in the asylum was loose-fitting, and thus, it covered her chest. He never had such thoughts about her before.
Besides, back in the asylum, Ji Younai would either be huddled up timidly or hunching her back.
Otherwise, she would be lying down. He had never seen her standing beside him with her back this straight before.
Now, he was shocked to discover that she actually was not short at all. Her head was at his chin and she was at least 1.7 meters tall.
Clearly, Ji Younai's parents had passed excellent genes to her.
Gong Siyu was getting ready to take Ji Younai out. The cars were already parked beside the round fountain in front of the mansion, simply waiting for them.
However, Liu Yun had already stuck half of his leg into the fountain and claimed that he wanted to fish for some fishes.
In order to prevent his home from being destroyed by Liu Yun, Gong Siyu solemnly decided to take Liu Yun out with them.
He would only rest easy if Liu Yun was within his sight.

Henglong Luxury Exchange was a famous mall in the bustling district of Beijing, where designer goods from various international luxury brands could be found.
All the latest designs from trendy international fashion brands could be purchased or ordered there.
It was built and developed by the Gong Family, and belonged to Laiyao Group, which also belonged to the Gong Family. Laiyao Group was a famous luxury goods sales giant in the industry.
Following Gong Siyu's request, the entirety of Henglong Luxury Exchange shopping mall was closed for the day, and Gong Siyu was the only one they would serve.
Gong Siyu was going on a shopping spree for Ji Younai.
Holding onto Ji Younai's hand with one hand, he used the other to grab piece after piece of clothing, which he then placed on her body to see how it would look on her.
Behind him, Bai Feiran was responsible for keeping an eye on Liu Yun, while six or seven senior management staff members of Henglong Luxury Exchange shopping mall were personally helping Gong Siyu carry the clothes and bags that he had selected. Even though the items had piled up like a mountain, they did not dare make a single sound.
"Younai, why does it seem like Gong Siyu commands a lot of authority and is extremely wealthy?"
Liu Yun was wearing a pair of sunglasses that Bai Feiran had prepared especially for him.
Since his red eyes were bizarre and particularly eye-catching, it would be much better for him to put on some sunglasses.
His handsome face was pale, and his hair was unkempt. After putting on the sunglasses, Liu Yun, who was tall and slender, looked just like a suave, melancholic, and extremely attractive male model.
"I think so too!" She glanced at Gong Siyu fearfully, but she did not dare to free her hand from his.
She dared not tell Gong Siyu that he had bought too much apparel for her, that she would not be able to wear all of them, or that one or two pieces would be enough.
She had mentioned it previously, but the sinisterly handsome and rich young man had glowered at her ferociously.
"What are you two mumbling about?" Gong Siyu questioned them coldly, condescendingly raising his brows. He then pulled Ji Younai away to stop her from getting too close to Liu Yun.
"Oh, Gong Siyu. Liu Yun and I were just discussing how you seem to be very wealthy and impressive. Speaking of which, what do you do for a living?" she answered honestly and obediently.
Gong Siyu gave Ji Younai a deep glance.
He answered reservedly, "My family runs a business."
'Oh, their business must be flourishing then, and very huge too! How can he command such high authority otherwise?'
Ji Younai pondered over it, nodding after finding that she was not interested in probing further.
She did not notice the widened eyes of the shocked elites behind her, who were carrying the piles of clothing, bags, and shoes Gong Siyu had gotten for her.
'This girl doesn't even know who Young Master Gong is?'
'Has she never heard of the mega-rich Gong Family?'
