The next morning, Qiqi opened her eyes to find Rong Yi lying by her bedside.
He had transformed into a husky, sprawled out on her pillow, limbs splayed, hugging her other pillow, and snoring softly—Rong Yi, oh Rong Yi, your sleeping posture looks utterly indecent.
Qiqi quickly adjusted her position, gathered her strength, and with a swift kick, sent Rong Yi tumbling off the bed. "You pervert! How dare you barge into my bedroom!"
And lying on my bed, no less.
Aargh, any woman would lose her mind.
Sure, he had asked to date her, and she hadn't explicitly refused, and she did kind of like him, but still—how could he just waltz into her room and sleep on her bed without permission?
Ah, my spotless reputation is ruined, my innocence is tarnished...
Gu Qiqi was utterly enraged.
Rong Yi landed on the floor, already back in his handsome human form. He opened his drowsy eyes, rubbed his sore forehead, and a small storm cloud popped up above his head—Prince Rong Yi's morning temper was fierce, especially when kicked out of bed. "Why did you hit me?"
Qiqi sat up in bed, furious. "You figure it out yourself!"
"What did I do wrong?"
"You... why didn't you go back to your own room to sleep?"
Rong Yi replied, "I just came to check on you, but you had... a strange smell on you. I was worried, so I decided to stay by your side."
Strange smell? What strange smell?
Qiqi puzzledly sniffed her pajamas—hmm, a fresh, clean scent with a hint of dry grass, actually quite pleasant...
Then her face darkened. "Rong Yi, why does my clothes smell like you?"
That faint grassy fragrance was exactly Rong Yi's scent. That jerk, whenever he turned into a husky, he gave off this smell. It was nice, but it felt so weird—her clothes carrying Rong Yi's grassy scent, like a brand on her body...
Gu Qiqi was both embarrassed and mortified, glaring angrily at the wolf king.
Rong Yi, however, breathed a sigh of relief—great, he'd finally replaced her scent with his own.
Instead, he turned the tables and questioned her. "Did you see Lu Wei last night? When I came back, I smelled his scent in your hair."
Gu Qiqi tugged at her hair—she had indeed come back with Senior Brother Lu last night, riding in his car with the AC on. In such a confined space, it was only natural his scent lingered. But Rong Yi's dog nose was way too sharp.
She shot him a glare. "That's right, Senior Brother did drive me home last night. So what? Is that wrong?"
"You..."
Rong Yi was speechless, the storm cloud over his head growing denser.
Actually, he had planned to pick Qiqi up from work last night, but on the way, something unexpected came up...
But that bastard Lu Wei dared to take advantage of the situation and bother Qiqi...
As Rong Yi thought this, the storm cloud thickened. Qiqi could almost swear she saw lightning and thunder crackling above the wolf king's head.
Then, he shot up, his expression fierce, and stepped toward Qiqi one menacing step at a time. "Fine, then let me show you my... morning temper."
