The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384: Chapter 360, Contradiction_1

“Miss, you’re finally back!”

In Daohua Pavilion, Wang Manman, hearing the sound of knocking, immediately opened the courtyard door, and upon seeing her miss return, her face instantly relaxed with relief.

Ping Tong slipped into the yard, glanced at the silent rooms, and asked in a low voice, “No one knows I went out, right?”

Wang Manman shook her head: “No one knows. I even sent Guyu and Lixia away.”

Ping Tong felt relieved and quickly returned to her room.

Wang Manman brought hot water, first helping Ping Tong wash her face and then helped her remove her hairpins and let down her hairdo, finally bringing over a nightgown and sleeping robe for a change.

After changing her clothes, Ping Tong said to Wang Manman, “Alright, I’m fine now. You’ve waited for the better part of the day and must be tired. Go to sleep.”

Wang Manman nodded: “Then have a good rest, miss.”

It wasn’t until Wang Manman left that Ping Tong lay down on the bed, her heart still racing until that moment.

She placed her hand on her chest, and through the thin fabric of her gown, she could clearly feel her heart pounding forcefully.

Thinking about the scene earlier where she almost got caught by Uncle Qin, the corners of Daohua’s mouth lifted slightly. Apart from the initial nervousness, the memory now seemed quite thrilling.

It’s just…

The unintentional intimate actions from Xiao Yeyang left her somewhat at a loss. Rationally, she knew she should keep her distance from him, but every time she saw him, she couldn’t ignore him. Moreover, the kindness Xiao Yeyang showed her wasn’t something she found objectionable; on the contrary, she sometimes quite enjoyed it.

Feeling a bit restless, Ping Tong turned over. Her heart was in disarray and conflicted. Her mind felt groggy as though she had entered a maze of confusion, wanting to find a way out yet irresistibly drawn deeper in.

So annoying!

I won’t think about it anymore!

Unwilling to delve deeper into her thoughts, Ping Tong gazed out the window at the moon hanging in the sky, lost in contemplation. It wasn’t until much later that she slowly closed her eyes.

The next morning, Wang Manman woke Ping Tong up early. While helping her with washing and dressing, she noticed dark circles under her eyes and immediately asked, “Miss, did you not sleep well last night?”

Ping Tong, rubbing her eyes, nodded: “I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning all night.”

Guyu said with a smile, “It’s probably because of the heat. It’ll get better after August.”

Wang Manman glanced at the several ice basins in the room, puzzled—this hadn’t been an issue for the miss before; she had never had trouble sleeping like this.

Yawning, Ping Tong said: “Bring me a basin of cold water later; I need to wake up.”

Guyu cheerfully agreed.

When Ping Tong arrived at Madam Yan’s courtyard, the rest of the Yan Family was already there, and Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan were among them, chatting with Yan Wenxiu.

After exchanging greetings with everyone, Ping Tong sat down beside the old lady.

Xiao Yeyang noticed that she didn’t look well and frowned slightly.

He felt a bit of regret in his heart; he shouldn’t have tempted her up to the rooftop to admire the moon last night. Not only had she drunk a little, but she also got a fright from falling out of a tree, no wonder she hadn’t slept well.

He wanted to look at her some more, but sensing Madam Lee’s gaze, Xiao Yeyang discreetly shifted his attention away, turning to chat idly with Dong Yuanxuan and the others.

After breakfast, the women of the Yan Family saw Yan Wenxiu to the entrance of the house and stopped there, while the men were to accompany him to the docks.

Ping Tong wanted to follow, but Madam Lee held her back. After Yan Yihuan and others expressed their good wishes, Ping Tong also spoke to Yan Wenxiu: “Big brother, don’t panic during the exams, don’t rush, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Just perform as well as you normally do.”

Hearing this, Yan Wenxiu smiled with understanding.

His family had high expectations of him, and correspondingly, the pressure on him was quite considerable. These days, he had heard too many blessings about achieving high results; only his younger sister had considered the pressure he was under.

This sister could be worrisome at times and then incredibly heartwarming at others.
