The old butler looked at the young lady looking at the dishes on the table with dull eyes. He frowned worriedly. What happened? Did the young master bully the young lady?
Thinking of this possibility, the old housekeeper was frightened.
The young lady has been distraught since she came home yesterday, and this morning she lost control of herself and cried bitterly. He had a vague feeling that it might have something to do with the young master.
The young master is usually so kind to the young madam, why does it suddenly become like this?
"Madam, is the food not delicious?" the old housekeeper asked carefully.
Chu Qingxue heard someone talking to her in a daze. She turned her head blankly, and her eyes slowly focused on the old housekeeper's face.
"Ah? Oh, it's okay, I quite like it." Chu Qingxue forced a smile and continued to eat with her head down.
Seeing the young lady's appearance, the old housekeeper sighed and said, "Young madam, if you have any confusion or confusion, just ask me, an old man. I am older, have rich experience, and know a lot, so I can give you some advice.
."
Chu Qingxue raised her head in surprise and looked at the old housekeeper smiling kindly. Her heart felt warm and she smiled gratefully: "Thank you, uncle housekeeper."
"Young Madam, the young master may have been a little busy at work recently and may not have taken care of you. I hope you can understand the young master's difficulties and don't be angry with the young master." The old housekeeper consoled him earnestly.
"I understand." Chu Qingxue lowered her eyes to hide her complicated emotions.
She picked up the food silently, but it was hard to swallow. She put down her chopsticks after just a few bites.
The old housekeeper couldn't bear to see the young lady like this, so he sneaked to the corner and called Sheng Yanxuan.
"Master, Madam, she..." The old housekeeper hesitated to speak.
Sheng Yanxuan's cold voice sounded: "Is she okay?"
"Well, the young lady is very good, but she is a little sad, can't eat, and doesn't want to talk to me." The old housekeeper reported the truth.
Sheng Yanxuan frowned and tapped his fingers on the table twice, then said after a moment: "Ask the servant to stew more soup, she may be too tired."
The old housekeeper agreed and hung up the phone. Sheng Yanxuan rubbed his eyebrows, picked up a pen, signed a document and handed it to his secretary.
Chu Qingxue was lying on the bed with chest tightness and shortness of breath. She tossed and turned and still planned to call Sheng Yanxuan.
The call was quickly connected. She held the phone nervously. The screen gradually lit up. When she saw the caller ID, she took a deep breath to suppress her nervousness.
"Hey, Yanxuan."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Sheng Yanxuan's worried voice came.
"Are you feeling well?" Sheng Yanxuan's low and hoarse voice penetrated the eardrums through the radio waves, making Chu Qingxue's heart twitch slightly.
"I want to see you." Chu Qingxue's soft voice was full of grievance, which made Sheng Yanxuan's heart beat twice.
Qingxue said she missed him? She missed him?!
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Sheng Yanxuan's mouth, and a sweetness surged in his heart.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll go back to see you right away. Can you wait for me to go back?" Sheng Yanxuan assured Chu Qingxue eagerly, fearing that she would miss it if she was a second too late.
"Yes." Chu Qingxue nodded, with a smile on her lips.
Sheng Yanxuan couldn't wait to pick up his coat and ran out. Zheng Min was walking towards the CEO's office with his head down, holding documents in his hand. He happened to see the back of Mr. Sheng leaving in a hurry, and was so frightened that he quickly chased after him.
"Mr. Sheng, this is the document you need to process. You forgot to bring it." Zheng Min handed the document to Sheng Yanxuan, but found that Mr. Sheng had already walked away.
He looked at the background of Mr. Sheng leaving in a hurry and felt a little puzzled.
Mr. Sheng, what happened today?
Why do you feel like you are carried away by love?
…
Sheng Yanxuan drove back to the villa, parked the car and immediately entered the house.
"Master, you are back." The old housekeeper came up to welcome Sheng Yanxuan and helped Sheng Yanxuan change into slippers.
Sheng Yanxuan nodded, "Where is the young lady?"
"The young lady is still in the room upstairs." The old housekeeper glanced at Sheng Yanxuan worriedly.
Although he knew that he shouldn't remind Sheng Yanxuan, he really couldn't worry about the young lady's current appearance.
Sheng Yanxuan paused for a moment and then went upstairs.
Pushing open the bedroom door, she saw Chu Qingxue sitting on the edge of the bed, curled up on the bed with her knees in her arms.
She looked up when she heard the door open. In the completely dark room, her dark and clear eyes were as silent as night.
Chu Qingxue's eyes were exactly the same as Sheng Yanxuan's, with dark pupils glowing with moisture.
When she saw Sheng Yanxuan coming in, she twitched the corners of her pale mouth and smiled slightly.
"You're back." She said softly.
Sheng Yanxuan walked into the room. Seeing Chu Qingxue's broken smile, he felt heartbroken. He walked over and took Chu Qingxue into his arms.
"Why have you lost so much weight?"
"How can there be..." Her smile became stiffer.
"Look, you're out of shape. You must not have eaten well." Sheng Yanxuan touched Chu Qingxue's head with pity.
Chu Qingxue felt sour in her heart. She gritted her teeth to hold back her tears, not daring to let them fall.
She firmly grabbed the clothes at Sheng Yanxuan's waist and tried to swallow her voice louder, pretending to be strong.
"I'm fine, I just want to see you, Yanxuan." Chu Qingxue looked up at Sheng Yanxuan, her eyes full of longing.
She is greedy for the warm breath on Sheng Yanxuan's body. She likes to lean into Sheng Yanxuan's arms. The feeling of being cared for by him makes her feel warm and safe.
"Yanxuan, you only love me, right?" Chu Qingxue stared at Sheng Yanxuan seriously, as if she was afraid of missing any expression on his face.
Sheng Yanxuan was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and touched Chu Qingxue's delicate face, rubbing it gently.
"Of course, no one but you is qualified to stand by my side." Sheng Yanxuan stared at Chu Qingxue lovingly, with deep affection and doting in his eyes.
Chu Qingxue did not choose to believe Sheng Yanxuan because of this. She examined every look in Sheng Yanxuan's eyes, trying to judge the authenticity of what he said.
"Yanxuan, you said you like me, is it true?" Chu Qingxue looked at Sheng Yanxuan with red eyes, her voice trembled, like a child who had been wronged.
Sheng Yanxuan nodded: "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you."
Chu Qingxue chuckled a few times and laughed at herself: "I know."
Sheng Yanxuan looked at Chu Qingxue in confusion, "What?"
Sheng Yanxuan felt that Chu Qingxue already knew something, but he was not sure.
He held Chu Qingxue's cold little hand and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Will you regard me as a substitute?" Chu Qingxue looked directly at Sheng Yanxuan and asked him word for word.
Sheng Yanxuan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Chu Qingxue would ask such a question.
After a long silence, he asked Chu Qingxue: "Why do you ask so suddenly?"
Chu Qingxue looked into Sheng Yanxuan's eyes. It was the first time he saw her with cold eyes.
Chu Qingxue panicked and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes had returned to calm.
