However, it wasn't her fault! With this belt having nothing on it, how could she possibly know what to do?
Le Yao Yao lowered her head, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, and timidly said, "Um, this servant... I don't know how..."
She was speaking the truth, and at that moment, she genuinely didn't dare to look at the man's expression. Inside, she felt anxious, fearing that if she upset him, one wrong move could lead to her head being separated from her body.
After all, Little Muzi had once mentioned that a newly arrived eunuch was killed by this very man for breaking a teacup. Now, not only had she torn his clothes, but she had also fastened the belt incorrectly. She couldn't help but wonder how he would punish her.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Le Yao Yao became.
After all, she was terrified of dying...
Just as Le Yao Yao was anxiously worrying about the punishment she might face, Leng Junyu, standing before her, merely cast a cold glance in her direction.
In truth, he had been somewhat angry just moments ago. After all, as a man of stature, how could he bear to have a bow tied around his waist?
However, when he looked at the little eunuch before him—seeing her face filled with fear and trepidation—his heart softened unexpectedly.
The reprimand he had intended to deliver died on his lips.
Because this little eunuch gave off the impression of a frightened little rabbit, innocent and endearing.
Especially when she peeked at him with those large, innocent eyes filled with uncertainty; even if he had been filled with anger just moments before, it would dissipate in an instant.
In the end, Leng Junyu simply let out a light sigh, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"You wouldn't have asked if you didn't know how to do it, would you?"
"Uh..."
Upon hearing Leng Junyu's words, Le Yao Yao lightly bit her lip and stole a glance at the handsome face above her. When she saw the hint of helplessness in his eyes, she felt a bit taken aback.
After all, she had made so many mistakes just now; why hadn't he punished her? Instead, he only seemed somewhat resigned.
He seemed different from the rumored living hell...
Just as Le Yao Yao was pondering this in her heart, she heard Leng Junyu speak again.
"This time I'll let it go. I'm going to fasten my belt myself now. Pay attention and don't make the same mistake next time."
"Oh."
Le Yao Yao responded softly, and over there, Leng Junyu began to fasten his belt by himself.
At that moment, Le Yao Yao noticed how beautiful his hands were.
His fingers were long and slender, with distinct knuckles. Even his nails were neatly trimmed, resembling a piece of art displayed in a gallery—extremely attractive.
The man's movements were very graceful. In no time at all, he had tightened his belt securely.
"Did you see how it's done?"
After fastening his belt and tidying up his appearance, he turned to Le Yao Yao and asked.
"Yes, I saw it," Le Yao Yao said softly. She realized she was being foolish; that belt was very simple, just a gentle tug would do, yet she couldn't manage it.
As Le Yao Yao was feeling frustrated, Leng Junyu merely cast her a sidelong glance before turning to leave the room. Seeing this, Le Yao Yao naturally followed him out.
After leaving the room and turning a corner, they arrived at the hall of Elegant Breeze Pavilion.
The hall of Elegant Breeze Pavilion was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner.
The floor was made of polished blue stone, reflecting light like a mirror. A carpet featuring a dragon pattern was laid on top.
On either side were sheer curtains, and on the black sandalwood carved tables by the windows, various priceless antique vases and jade artifacts were meticulously cleaned, shining with a round luster under the sunlight.
In the center, on a large round ebony table adorned with carvings, there were already more than ten dishes of breakfast that were rich in color, aroma, and flavor.
There was bird's nest porridge, shark fin soup, spring rolls, and various exquisite dumplings and desserts...
