311 STRANGE... edited

The sun was still on the horizon when Xiao Tianyao laid Senja down on her own bed, Yang Yu stood next to him.

"Stand guard outside." He muttered under his breath and Yang Yu bowed in respect before walking out of the room.

Xiao Tianyao looked at Senja with mixed feelings. **What else are you hiding from me? **

He brushed the girl's slightly swollen lips. He regretted hurting her, but he was out of sorts with the revelation.

He had tried to approach her in a different way, but he hadn't expected to fall thoroughly for her. Now, his suspicions were fueled again. But there was nothing he could do… just the idea to use her for his own benefit nauseated him to the bones.

"What am I do with you?" He leaned to kiss her forehead and traced down along her jawline. "What am I do with you?"

.....

Aunt Hu pressed her shoulder and called her name over and over, "Young Miss Senja, wake up…" She said helplessly. She had been trying to wake her up for this past thirty minutes. "Your father will arrive soon."

Senja finally awoke and sighed deep in irritation. She couldn't hear a thing Aunt Hu was saying. Her head hurt, even though it wasn't as bad as last night it still throbbed in pain.

The last thing she remembered were the pills Xiao Tianyao had fed her.

Senja's eyes shot open.

"Where am I?" She asked in fear.

Aunt Hu looked at her in confusion.

"Young Miss Senja, you are in your room."

Senja held her head as she sat up, her eyes scanning her surroundings. When she was finally assured that she was indeed in her own room, she sighed in relief. Apparently, Xiao Tianyao had brought her back here.

"Young Miss Senja, you must hurry, your father will arrive soon." Aunt Hu reminded her again.

"Who is coming?" Senja squinted her eyes.

"Your father."

"My father?" Senja was surprised.

Aunt Hu nodded.

**Great! This Senja's good for nothing father finally makes an appearance! ** She thought bitterly.

Aunt Yu and Aunt Hu helped her clean up and put on a striking orange dress. The duo then did her long purple hair. She looked very fascinating; people couldn't help but give her a second glance.

"Young Miss Senja, you look so beautiful."The Aunts complimented in unison.

Senja replied with a soft smile before signaling them to assist her.

There was quite a distance between her courtyard to the main house. So, a sedan had been waiting for her when she walked out.

Senja sat quietly until they reached the main house. To her surprise, she spotted Xiao Tianyao leaning with his back against a handrail….as if he had been waiting for her.

Senja was grinning ear to ear as got off the sedan. When she saw Xiao Tianyao answer with his usually calm smile, she went over to him.

"Are you waiting for me?" Senja asked cheerfully.

"Hmm." Xiao Tianyao replied, and he walked inside the hall.

"Hey, were you the one to bring me back to my room?"

"You think you could go back on your own in that state?" He asked her by way of answer and slowed his steps.

Senja chuckled, "You are right."

"Don't drink anything that you aren't familiar with ever again." Xiao Tianyao warned her sternly.

"Alright, I will not drink that strange alcohol anymore."

Xiao Tianyao stopped in his tracks and held her chin up.

"No alcohol at all Young Miss Senja, understood?"

Senja nodded obediently in response.

"Good. You better remember that!" He snapped and walked faster.

"Did I bump into something when I was drunk?" Senja chased after him.

"No. Why?"

"I woke up with swollen lips." Senja said sullenly and pouted her lips. "Look!"

Xiao Tianyao shot a glance and with straight face he replied, "I don't know."

"Strange…" Senja mumbled as she dabbed her lips.
