"Ah? Master, isn't the young lady standing opposite me? Why don't you tell her yourself?" A trace of surprise appeared on Butler Cheng's steady face.
It turned out that Butler Cheng was much taller than Gu Xiwan. He had just been standing in the same straight line as Gu Xiwan, and he happened to be blocking Gu Xiwan tightly.
Only then did Chu Lingjue realize that Gu Xiwan was in front of the butler. He opened his white teeth and thin lips and said coldly,
"Can you come over and do me a favor?"
"Um."
After all, she owed Chu Lingjue too many favors, so Gu Xiwan agreed without hesitation, turned around and walked towards Chu Lingjue.
When he reached the door of Chu Lingjue's study, he couldn't help but stop.
Because Chu Lingjue's study is a forbidden area!
Gu Xiwan remembered that the last time she saw a necklace hanging on Chu Lingjue's chair that was very similar to the one she had thrown away on her birthday night, when Gu Xiwan walked in to look at the necklace, she was pulled out by the housekeeper. ——
Butler Cheng also sternly warned Gu Xiwan that she would never break into Chu Lingjue's study again.
"Why don't you come in?"
Chu Lingjue's pleasant voice came.
Only then did Gu Xiwan take steps again.
At this moment, Sheng Xinyi was lying on the sofa, and Chu Lingjue stood in front of the sofa, staring down at Sheng Xinyi's haggard face.
The emotion locked deep in his eyes was unclear whether it was sadness or pity.
When Gu Xiwan came to the sofa, Chu Lingjue raised his eyes to look at Gu Xiwan's face and saw that Gu Xiwan's eyes were full of tears. The emotions caused by Sheng Xinyi in his icy eyes were instantly swept away and turned into with clear and visible concern,
"What's wrong?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms around Gu Xiwan's slender waist and squeezed her into his arms.
At the same time, he gently brushed away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his warm palms.
Gu Xiwan's thoughts wavered.
Even though Chu Lingjue was as cold as an iceberg, the temperature in his arms was always so warm. The moment his hand brushed over her face, the warm breath he exhaled from the tip of his nose also brushed over her face, making her just for a moment. I feel like my whole person is surrounded by a warm current, and my heart is filled with indescribable warmth...
However, it is obviously so warm.
Gu Xiwan didn't know why, but tears once again covered her face uncontrollably.
"What happened?"
The pain and pity in Chu Lingjue's voice became even stronger.
"nothing!"
Only then did Gu Xiwan regain her composure. She struggled to break away from Chu Lingjue's arms and raised the corners of her mouth sarcastically.
"It's because of my own unpleasant personal matters, which have nothing to do with you. Mr. Chu, please keep your distance from me so as not to hurt your first love."
A trace of melancholy flashed across Chu Lingjue's deep eyes.
He couldn't remember how many times Gu Xiwan had called him "Mr. Chu". However, no matter how many times Gu Xiwan called him this, he still didn't get used to it.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Gu Xiwan's indifferent voice sounded again.
Chu Lingjue woke up from a dream.
He called Gu Xiwan here because of Sheng Xinyi.
However, the moment he saw Gu Xiwan with tears in his eyes, his heart was grabbed by Gu Xiwan, and all he could see in his heart and eyes was Gu Xiwan.
Chu Lingjue's eyes fell back on Sheng Xinyi's face,
"After Wanwan became ill, I gave her some sedative medicine. Wanwan is much better, but she still doesn't seem to have regained her composure. You are a doctor, can you help her?"
"..." Gu Xiwan's fingertips kept trembling.
Chu Lingjue calls Sheng Xinyi "Wanwan", which is perfectly normal!
However, every time Chu Lingjue called out "Wanwan", Gu Xiwan felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a sharp object.
She remembered!
Chu Lingjue only called her "Wanwan" once!
That time, Chu Lingjue wanted to act with her in front of Zhou Shutong.
Except for that one time, Chu Lingjue never refused to call her that affectionately...
No!
Perhaps it was not because Chu Lingjue refused, but because the title "wanwan" had already been occupied by Sheng Xinyi in Chu Lingjue's heart and was exclusive to Sheng Xinyi!
"good……"
Gu Xiwan calmed down for a while before making a sound.
She looked at Sheng Xinyi carefully.
Sheng Xinyi was curled up on the sofa, covered with Chu Lingjue's suit jacket. Although her eyebrows were closed, her whole body was shaking, and her forehead was covered with a layer of crystal sweat. She looked like she was having a nightmare.
In fact, when Gu Xiwan first saw Sheng Xinyi falling ill, she judged that Sheng Xinyi might have been frightened, leaving a huge psychological shadow...
Now, seeing Sheng Xinyi like this, Gu Xiwan was even more sure of her judgment.
"I heard that you and Sheng Xinyi have been together for fifteen years. Do you know what she went through to make her like this?"
Gu Xiwan asked while massaging the acupuncture points on Sheng Xinyi's head.
"That was two years ago. The accident took the life of her brother and her mother became...
Anyway, it's all my fault. "
Chu Lingjue's eyelids were drooped. It was obvious that he didn't want to say too much because it brought up sad things.
Gu Xiwan felt something strange about Chu Lingjue, raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that his fingers were trembling violently.
Looking up again, Chu Lingjue's Adam's apple couldn't help but roll, and cracks appeared on his face that rarely showed emotions.
Gu Xiwan had never seen Chu Lingjue behave like this.
A cold and noble person like Chu Lingjue would only behave like this when he was in extreme pain.
Seeing Chu Lingjue's appearance, Gu Xiwan's heart suddenly seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. It hurt so much that it made it difficult for her to breathe.
She didn't know why she felt so sorry for Chu Lingjue.
At the same time, she envied Sheng Xinyi even more.
I envy Sheng Xinyi, a woman who can make Chu Lingjue miserable...
Gu Xiwan massaged Sheng Xinyi for nearly three minutes, and Sheng Xinyi regained her composure and fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Lingjue's expression was no longer so solemn, and he said calmly to Gu Xiwan,
"Thanks."
Gu Xiwan smiled meaninglessly,
"You've helped me so many times, but it's nothing if I help you with this little thing.
However, Sheng Xinyi's illness is not in her body, but in her heart. I only temporarily restored her calm this time. She will definitely get sick again in the future. If she wants to completely cure her illness, she must untie her. heart knot. "
She always felt that she was redundant when Chu Lingjue and Sheng Xinyi were together, so after Gu Xiwan said these words, she ran out of Chu Lingjue's study without waiting for Chu Lingjue to say anything else.
Close the door smoothly.
Looking at the door of the study, he couldn't help but remember that he and Chu Lingjue had been married for some time. Chu Lingjue had never let her enter his bedroom. Just now, Chu Lingjue personally carried Sheng Xinyi into his study. He asked her to go in just to see Sheng Xinyi. Suddenly, she felt hysterical sadness and tears fell again.
At this moment, Butler Cheng has not left yet.
Gu Xiwan wiped away her tears with her sleeves and walked straight behind Butler Cheng.
"Steward Cheng, you once told me that you regard me as the mistress of this house. Since I am the master and you are the steward, then if I ask you a question, will you answer it truthfully?"
"Of course, young lady, as long as the question you ask me is not a secret that the young master has ordered me not to tell anyone, I will answer you truthfully." Butler Cheng said without hesitation.
The tears in Gu Xiwan's eyes have not dried yet, but she is still confident and proud.
"Did Chu Lingjue ever tell you not to tell anyone about Sheng Xinyi?"
He said respectfully to the steward,
"That's not true."
Gu Xiwan raised her face like a proud queen,
"Then, let me ask you, why did Sheng Xinyi become like this? Why did Chu Lingjue say it was his fault?"
