The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Miss, why didn't you agree to attend the Lin Family's banquet earlier? Have you forgotten everything?"

The maid Xiao Tao had been with Rao Linger for quite some time, and she knew better than anyone what occupied her mistress's mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't personally remind Rao Linger about the serious consequences should Tang Rao not be invited.

"That's easy to say, but just like Tang Rao mentioned, when I spoke so decisively, it's no wonder he didn't agree to go with me."

Rao Linger was also a bit tempted, her steps shifted slightly, and Tao Er keenly noticed these small movements.

"Miss, how will you know if he won't go with you unless you try? How about I accompany you, and you give it a shot?"

Tao Er encouraged Rao Linger, helping her make up her mind.

"Alright, shall I give it a try?"

"Mm!"

Tang Rao was singing a little tune, feeling fresh and free after a bath. He had thought after rejecting Xiao Tao, their mistress would settle down. But just outside the door, he heard it open as Rao Linger and her little sidekick appeared in Tang Rao's home.

Tang Rao was caught completely off guard, wearing only a pair of shorts down below and nothing else above, the entirely exposed view was finally witnessed by Rao Linger.

"Is my body great? Are my muscles perfect?"

Tang Rao really was something, speaking so rationally to Rao Linger even after being seen through completely.

"Mm!"

It was unclear whether Rao Linger was dumbfounded or mesmerized by Tang Rao's physique; she instinctively nodded, then shook her head telling him, "You rogue, you rascal, not even wearing clothes, are you shameless?"

Rao Linger punched Tang Rao's chest; the tender, boneless hands hitting Tang Rao could only be described by him as comfortable.

"Isn't it normal to not wear clothes while taking a bath in the house, how does being shameless relate to that? Also, are you doing this on purpose? Not even bothering to first seek my consent before coming in. If you wanted to see my body, just say so. I won't be like you, so petty about being seen, insisting someone takes responsibility. People like that are new to me."

Having been seen, Tang Rao didn't immediately demand Rao Linger take responsibility. Only women were that narrow-minded, that petty. Men like them were much better; even if seen, they could face it calmly and, if anything, might look forward to further developments with women.

"You bathe at home without putting on clothes? You're living in my house, it's my Rao family's territory. I come in and out as I please, who are you to question that?"

Rao Linger's words might have been harsh, yet to others, they didn't seem problematic.

"Right, it's your Rao family's territory; the house I'm staying in is indeed yours, but the person inside is me. I admit I accidentally saw you before but didn't see everything. Now you're intentionally seeing me and taking it all in, even now you're still looking. So no matter how you calculate it, I'm the one getting the short end of the stick. Now I don't want any compensation from you, let's call it even, and I'm leaving. Take care."

Trying to rival Tang Rao? Rao Linger still had a ways to go.

Two living people showed up around him; it was impossible for Tang Rao not to notice at all. The only possibility was that he was deliberately pretending to know nothing, even if he was indeed wearing clothes just before. For the sake of the plot, before Rao Linger came in, Tang Rao took off the only piece of clothing on him, revealing his toned muscles and perfect figure.

He had seen Rao Linger, now Rao Linger had seen him. Their views canceled each other out. No matter how thick Rao Linger's skin was, she couldn't find a better excuse to brush it off, could she?

"How can this equal out? Stand right there! I'm a girl; you're a grown man. You saw me and I saw you - they can't be compared. Regardless, I insist you apologize and stay."

She didn't know why she had to insist Tang Rao stayed; she only felt when Tang Rao walked away, her heart felt utterly empty.

This feeling had never happened before.

"Are you trying to force me to stay? Who knew your Rao family had such standards. Fine, I'll stay. There's food, lodging, and care, which isn't much different than living in Zijing City. I'll stay, but even if I live here, what significance does it have for you? Other than me finding you increasingly displeasing, what actual benefits do you get?"

Tang Rao's words struck a chord in Rao Linger's heart. Indeed, she just wanted to keep Tang Rao, but never thought about what happens after he stays? Will Tang Rao suddenly treat Rao Linger kindly?

"Oh Master Tang Family, truth is, our miss isn't how you think she is. She's kind-hearted and hasn't had much contact with the outside world, with only Lady Zhou Zhou as a good friend. She may not speak as well as others, but this maid knows that our miss must greatly admire you to go through all this trouble to keep you here. Please give our miss some face!"

Rao Linger's eyes turned red, her whole demeanor about to burst into tears, which made Tao Er both heartbroken and compassionate.

As a maid, she didn't have the right to speak, but the miss had a good heart, clumsy words, and a bad temper, trying to convince Tang Rao alone was an impossible success rate to speak of.

"You're an interesting girl. Why should I give her face? Why didn't she give me face when I accidentally saw her bathing, graciously letting me leave, and now she wants face from me?"

Giving face was impossible; not even Rao Linger's words worked, let alone those from a maid beside her.

"Sorry."

Tang Rao, in a fit of anger, aimed his criticism at Tao Er, not caring whether he was reprimanding a man or a woman at this point.

What he didn't expect was, after scolding Tao Er, the mistress Rao Linger straightforwardly apologizing to Tang Rao.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Tang Rao hadn't reacted for a while; was her apology too sudden or what?

"I said sorry, I didn't consider your feelings. Knowing full well you didn't want to show up at Rao's, you got your own things, and I forced you here, it's my bad. I shouldn't force you to do what you dislike; I wasn't malicious, just wanted you to stay in my house."

Rao Linger bit on her lower lip, which already had spots of red blood.
