Chapter 217: There is Danger but it Cannot be Avoided
While patrolling the yard, Uncle Zhang suddenly saw a ladder stretching high up in mid-air, with a person standing on it. He was about to yell out in warning, but then he recognised the figure.
It looks a lot like the Third Young Master!
Why would the Third Young Master be climbing a ladder to his own room in the middle of the night?
Is he still arguing with the young mistress?
Uncle Zhang had thought that they made up after he brought them dinner!
Looking at Young Master Di, Uncle Zhang thought, this is so dangerous!
The villa ceilings are high. Even though the room is on the second floor, it is nearly 7-8 meters high. Nobody is holding the ladder for him. Even if the Third Young Master is athletic, this is still too perilous!
With this in mind, Uncle Zhang didn’t dare to make a sound, and hurried over, nervously holding the ladder, for fear that Di Mingjue might fall.
Just as he had got the ladder, he noticed Di Mingjue seemed to be preparing to come down, stepping down slowly.
But, after a couple of steps, he stopped.
Uncle Zhang was puzzled, "Third Master, are you going up or not?"
Uncle Zhang figured, the Third Master must be worried about losing face. Oh, our Third Master and his love for his dignity...
So, Uncle Zhang did not dare to make a sound. He clung tightly to the ladder and tried his best to make himself as unnoticeable as possible.
If the Third Master comes down later, he must act as if he didn’t see anything. Never saw the Third Master climbing the window in the middle of the night, yes, that’s the plan!
Di Mingjue, hanging mid-air, frowned, and pulled out his phone. Who could be messaging him at this hour?
Surprisingly, it was Di Mingchen.
While holding onto the ladder with one hand, he opened the message. Di Mingchen had sent him a screenshot.
Once Di Mingjue saw it, he furrowed his brow. The screenshot was of a conversation between Gu Qibao and Di Mingchen, where Gu Qibao said, "Actually, it really hurts me".
Down below, Uncle Zhang’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, "Didn’t the Third Master just plan to come down? How did he suddenly decide to climb back up after looking at his phone?"
Looking at the excitement on the Third Master’s face, he couldn’t help but wonder if something is about to happen.
Uncle Zhang quietly steadied the ladder, "Third Master, hurry up and get in there. It’s normal for a married couple to argue, disagreements at the head of the bed, reconciliation at the foot."
Having reached the window, Di Mingjue heaved a sigh of relief as he unlatched it. Thankfully, she didn’t lock the window.
"Who’s there?" Gu Qibao, who hadn’t been sleeping, clutched her blanket, startled by the noise of the window opening as she intently looked towards the curtains.
"Your husband." Di Mingjue pushed aside the curtains and jumped in. His expression was stern, extremely cold.
More than anything, being caught climbing the window was a blow to his pride, making his situation slightly awkward.
Gu Qibao blinked in confusion, "Why didn’t you use the door?"
Di Mingjue scowled, "You didn’t lock it?"
Gu Qibao remained silent. Yes, she hadn’t locked the door because he had climbed the window before, and with the window so high, she felt it was too dangerous, so she didn’t lock the door.
Arguing is fine, and even bullying him, but she couldn’t bear to put him in danger.
Seeing Gu Qibao keep silent with her eyes lowered, Di Mingjue felt a tightness in his chest. So, she hadn’t locked the door!
Thinking back to the message she sent to Di Mingchen, Di Mingjue’s heart softened. She really does care about him, doesn’t she?
If she didn’t, she wouldn’t be making such a fuss.
"Baby." Di Mingjue quickly walked towards her, intending to embrace her, but seeing the unhappy expression on her face and the tears welling up in her eyes, he stopped.
Di Mingjue suddenly felt a pang in his heart...
