Chapter 789 Stunned 5

Thus, Su Luo looked at the threshold just a step away, but could only force herself to stop.

"Come back." As if he had been drinking, Rong Yun's voice sounded hoarse and low.

"Oh." Su Luo obediently ran back to his side.

"Kneel." Rong Yun pointed to the ground.

Kneel?

Su Luo was instantly startled.

She, Su Luo, would kneel to lick, kneel to the ground, kneel to her parents, but she didn't have the habit of kneeling to just anyone.

However, before Su Luo could think, Rong Yun shot a gaze colder than ever before: "Kneel!"

Such a fierce master…

Su Luo's heart trembled slightly.

"Oh." A bewildered Su Luo obediently knelt properly facing the beautiful woman's painting.

Is this beautiful woman related to her?

Otherwise, why would Master want her to kneel?

Su Luo wanted to ask, but upon meeting Master Beauty's unprecedentedly cold and stern eyes, her heart trembled slightly.

Now was not a good time to ask.

Rong Yun's deep gaze pierced straight into Su Luo's heart, but after just one look, he withdrew it and turned to stare at the painting on the wall.

Time passed little by little.

The night grew deeper and deeper.

Unconsciously, Su Luo had been kneeling for over half an hour.

Su Luo had been maintaining a proper kneeling posture.

At this moment, her gaze darted back and forth between Master Beauty and the beautiful woman's painting on the wall, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

What was going on with Master Beauty?

He told her to kneel but then ignored her, just staring intently at the painting on the wall.

She admitted the beautiful woman in the painting was peerlessly beautiful, but it was just a painting…

"Master…" Su Luo yawned and spoke up, interrupting him.

Her legs were numb from kneeling, what exactly did Master want?

Only then did Rong Yun snap back to attention.

As if he had just seen Su Luo, his eyes furrowed slightly in displeasure: "You can't even kneel for such a short time?"

Su Luo inwardly snorted.

It wasn't that she couldn't kneel, the main thing was she didn't know who she was kneeling to.

Wouldn't that be kneeling for nothing?

She wasn't like Duan Yu, who would kneel and kowtow upon seeing his "Fairy Sister".

Rong Yun finally just sighed softly: "Get up."

"Oh." Su Luo obediently got up, conveniently rubbing her somewhat numb knees.

"Accompany Master for a drink." Rong Yun's voice was faint, carrying a hint of melancholy.

Su Luo was sharp-minded and sensed that Master Beauty's mood was somewhat unusual.

She couldn't help but glance again at the stunningly beautiful portrait.

Who exactly was this mysterious woman?

Who could affect a Master Beauty, who was like an immortal without desires, to this extent?

"Is she Master's wife?"

Su Luo's mouth was faster than her brain, and she asked directly.

Only after asking did she subconsciously realize that she had spoken her thoughts aloud.

Hearing Su Luo's words, a clear jolt went through Rong Yun's expression.

His long, narrow, dark eyes flickered with complex light as he stared at Su Luo without blinking.

Master Beauty's eyes were too bright, so bright they were like a sharp blade piercing straight into one's heart.

They were so bright that almost all darkness had nowhere to hide before him.

But this time, his eyes held a hint of unusual expression.

"Say what you just said again." Rong Yun calmly lowered his head and poured himself some wine.

His slender, fair hand held the jade pot, and clear wine poured into the amber cup.

A faint aroma of wine permeated the small study.

Did Master not hear clearly just now?

Su Luo felt a bit confused.

But Master's command must be obeyed, so Su Luo obediently repeated: "She is Master's wife."

That's right, this time Su Luo used a declarative tone.

With her sensitivity and the many melodramatic stories she had seen in modern times, Su Luo vaguely guessed a bit of the story.
