Chapter 226: You Must Compromise (1/2)
Translator: Madesmoiselle V.
“Feel free to sleep on the floor!” Ouyang Shaochen cast a glance of her before stepping slowly into the inner chamber where he took off his white robe gracefully before lying sidelong on the soft big bed with well-carved patterns, merely clad in white underclothes.
The bed curtain, silk quilt, sheet, desk, as well as wooden chairs were in cold colors, well matching Ouyang Shaochen’s frosty character.
Light golden sunshine streamed into the room through the lattice window and reflected on the smooth ground.
Murog Xue was furious. Even in summer, sleeping on the thickest quilt laid on the icy and hard stony floor would sting her waist. She definitely would not surrender!
Looking up at Ouyang Shaochen, she said emphatically, “Heir Ouyang, it was you who ordered servants to carry the couch away. Even there is someone who must sleep on the ground, shouldn’t it be you?”
“The room and bed are all mine. Is it reasonable to make the host sleep on the floor?” Ouyang Shaochen glanced at her with his obsidian-like eyes filled with disdain.
Murong Xue stared at him, her smiling face suddenly turned grim. “As a girl once seriously injured by the icy poison, sleeping on the ground may lead to a relapse. As a strong man adept at martial arts, you should offer the bed to me.”
Upon hearing such melodious voice, other noble men would certainly meet her demand, however, Ouyang Shaochen, as unique as he was, imperceptibly curled up his lips before looking at her expressionlessly. “I am not that selfless, and I know nothing about modesty...”
“You...” Murong Xue was rendered speechless. Who said Ouyang Shaochen was gracious and considerate? Was that person blind?
He was obviously an evil and narrow-minded man, always despising and bullying her...
Ouyang Shaochen stared at her angry face with the barest hint of a smile. “If you don’t feel like sleeping on the ground, how about sleeping in bed with me together...” he suggested casually.
“No way!” Murong Xue refused with resoluteness while shaking her head.
“Then you can sleep on the floor alone!” Ouyang Shaochen said while closing his eyes gently, still not forgetting to remind her absent-mindedly, “The floor paved by blocks is chilly, so don’t forget to lay thick quilts on top of it...But it doesn’t matter if you catch a cold. There are various kinds of medicine available here in Lord Freedom’s Mansion...”
Dropping to whispers, Ouyang Shaochen’s voice was almost imperceptible at last. He must have fallen asleep...
Hearing him breathing evenly while staring at his serene sleeping face, Murong Xue was infuriated, her pretty eyes burning with anger. How could he sleep so soundly without giving her a suitable place to have a rest?
Rushing towards his bed in anger, Murong Xue grasped Ouyang Shaochen by his arm before hauling it with all her strength. “Go to sleep on the floor. The bed is mine...”
His slim body lurched slightly and was about to fall off the bed...
Slightly frowning, Ouyang Shaochen snatched Murong Xue’s arm before making a hard pull.
