Chapter 27: Don't Think of Driving Me Away, I Won't Leave! _1

Completely oblivious to the maids' schadenfreude, Ye Xingguang doesn't have a clue.

After a tiring day, all she wants to do is take a nice bath, wash her hair, and enjoy a good night's sleep. She has to get up early for work tomorrow after all.
