novelxo Chapter 216 Kern Was Awful
Kern got up early in the morning, the weather was nice today.
After taking a shower, Kern came out of the bathroom in his bathrobe, and when he was about to draw the curtains, there were two knocks on the door.
Kern put down his hand holding the curtain and walked to the door.
The lock clicked softly, and the door opened.
The two people inside and outside the door were stunned at the same time.
Kern was taken aback for a while, but in the next moment, a sly look flashed through his eyes.
"Mm-mmm?" His deep voice rolled out of his throat, which was indescribably sexy.
In addition, he had just finished taking a shower and his body was thinclad with a bathrobe, which made him look laid-back; however, he did look seductive like this.
Outside the door, the woman looked away and said, "This is the breakfast you ordered, everybody else is busy and Carol is still sleeping, so I..." So she came to bring him breakfast.
She said that everybody else was busy, in fact, there were only a few staff members in the entire guesthouse.
The guesthouse itself was not big and did not require much manpower.
The guesthouse had prepared a breakfast buffet, of course, it was not comparable to a five-star hotel. What they provided was just some simple breakfast. Usually the guests would go downstairs to have breakfast; however, if certain guests have special requirements for breakfast, they would take the guests' orders and deliver the food to their rooms.
Now Kern only saw that she was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes... This was the first time in his life that he found a guesthouse using a bamboo basket for meal delivery.
But...it was not important.
He curved up his thin lips.
"Oh..." His extended "Oh" was accompanied by a trace of nasal tone. Then he gave a meaningful glance to the woman's face outside the door and said, "Take it in."
The woman outside the door paused, a little unhappy. "Mr. Lo, can't you take it in by yourself?"
Kern raised his eyebrows and said naturally, "Do you think I'm used to this kind of thing?"
This kind of thing?
Which kind of thing?
The woman rolled her eyes secretly... He was just another young master who was lazy and ignorant.
Standing at the doorway, Kern raised his eyebrow tail slightly and said, "Why are you staring blankly here? Can't you do such a simple thing?" After the words, he smacked his lips. "Well, you're the boss." He was obviously satirizing her!
The woman gave him a glance, carried the bamboo basket, lifted her feet and walked into the room.
While his voice came from her back again. "Put it on the coffee table."
She had no choice but to keep going inside.
Then she put down the bamboo basket, said, "Mr. Lo, you eat first. Later when cleaning the room, someone will take it back."
With that, she turned around and walked to the door, ready to leave.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw Kern leaning against the unlatched door with his arms crossed over his chest steadily. His hair was still dripping with water and the hair on his forehead was slightly curly, making him look indescribably laid-back. She could only lower her eyes to avoid looking at him.
At the door, Kern took great delight in watching her face which had been flushed slightly with embarrassment, while he totally did not care about his laid-back and seductive appearance. "Boss, don't you have breakfast together?"
The woman reached out for the handle of the unlatched door, but Kern next to her quickly stretched out his slender muscular arm and pressed the door.
She raised her head, thinking that the smile of this inexplicable man made her feel quite unhappy.
Her forehead wrinkled slightly, "Since Mr. Lo has such a golden heart, why don't you treat the beggars on the street to a meal?"
"Alright." Kern chortled and withdrew his hand pressing on the door suddenly. "Boss, you said yesterday that you would give me a tea set you use to drink tea and a lounge chair like yours. "Yes, I've said that. After breakfast, I'll ask Kayden to move those things to you."
Kern shook his head. "It shouldn't be like that. If you want to give someone a gift, you must make sure that the recipient is satisfied with it. I want to choose it myself."
Choosing it myself?
"How...to choose?" He was so funny. "Do I have to move all the tea sets and lounge chairs in front of you and let you go through them one by one?"
"Why do you make it so hard?" Kern gave a beaming smile, his eyes were glittering with joy. "I heard that the ancient city of Dali is bustling and there are a lot of novel and interesting things."
"I want to have a look, but I'm unfamiliar with this place and the people here. Since you've promised to give me a tea set and lounge chair, how can you give-up halfway when you do a good deed? Why not be my guide and accompany me to the ancient city." Without hesitation, the woman refused, "Carol is awake, and I'll let her accompany you."
It happened that Carol had been nagging at her that she wanted to go out to play.
"No, no." Kern swung his index finger, and suddenly bent toward the woman standing in front of him. "If that's the case, you're not sincere. You're the one who promised to give me something, of course, you must be the one who accompanies me to choose the things." "..." She was startled by the sudden enlargement of his face. When she looked at him from such a close distance, she realized that he really had a good-looking.
It was just... a face darted through her mind and her face suddenly turned pale... how come Kern's appearance actually resembled him?
A bitterness spread out in her heart
"Get out of my way!" She suppressed herself, but she, who usually spoke slowly and others could not hear the croak in her voice if they did not pay attention, was yelling with an obviously hoarse throaty voice right now.
Kern was taken aback, "Hey, what's... what's wrong..."
"Bang!"
With a clear and loud bang, the hand he reached out for her was beaten crooked by her.
"Stay away from me!"
Kern stared blankly at his hand which had been beaten crooked, and the back of his hand was red
The strength of this woman... was really powerful!
Gritting his teeth, he squinted his eyes and looked down at the woman in front of him deeply. Her face blanched, but she was still fine in the previous second. He landed his gaze on her pale lips...why did she suddenly become like this?
Kern squinted his eyes and thought carefully. He was so shrewd that he could get a general idea just by thinking about it.
He pursed his mouth and his eyes concealed his true feelings even more. Suddenly, his cool face was replaced by a smile. Ringing laughter split over from his throat and pierced the clouds.
"Boss, you're very unkind- your slap just now has made my hands red, it hurts~"
Unconsciously, the woman looked toward his hand, and there was a red mark on his skin indeed. His hand was beautiful, his fingers were slender and fair; his phalanxes were apparent and powerful; and his nails were neatly trimmed...it could be seen that the owner of this hand had never done much work.
However, his beautiful hand was slapped by her and there was a large sanguine red on it.
In addition, he was embroiled innocently indeed...he was just scapegoated by her.
"Hiss- it really hurts. No woman has ever hit my hand since I grew up."
Kern held his hand and rubbed it carefully for some time...She looked at him, his eyebrows were knitted tightly as if he was trying hard to suppress his pain.
The little shame in her heart turned into guilt.
"Alas- there is no knowing when my hand will get better..." Without looking at her, Kern just held his hand with his face full of helplessness and anxiety. Now she felt even guiltier.
"Forget it... It was just that the back of my hand is bruised as being slapped... There're always some first times in life. I can just treat it as a not so wonderful experience. I originally planned to spend a relaxing time at Erhai Lake, but I never thought that I'll be beaten, alas..." Kern mumbled to himself. The eyes of the woman on the side were brimming over with guilt. "Well, as an apology, I'll accompany you to visit the ancient city."
"Ah!" Kern exclaimed, with a trace of embarrassment emerged in his eyes. "No... it's too difficult for you."
"You can drive, right? I'll go downstairs first and you come down once you finish changing your clothes. I'll wait for you downstairs." Then she left the room after concluding her words.
Kern looked at her back, a victorious smile flickered across his dark eyes.0000000
