C134 You Had Better Not Push Your Luck too Far
Ling Muxue rushed out of the door and ran all the way out with a serious expression. Along the way, the maid looked at Ling Muxue with a strange expression.
She ran aimlessly, until her legs gave way, and then she came to a slow stop, hands on her knees, panting, breathing hard, and straightening up when she was able to breathe properly.
She looked around and found that she had actually run to the bottom of the ginkgo tree. As the weather was gradually becoming winter, a remnant cold wind whistled past and the golden leaves began to fall. She looked up and her eyes followed the falling leaf in front of her. Ling Muxue could not help but reach out her hand and the leaf fell onto her palm.
Looking at it, the image of Gu Shaochen's handsome face that was as gentle as jade and as warm as the spring breeze appeared in his mind. Suddenly, another evil and handsome face with cold eyes appeared in his mind.
That gaze was like an invisible hand grabbing her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
Subconsciously, she held the leaf tightly in her hands. Her eyes were filled with pain as she squatted down and held her head with both of her hands. She kept shaking her head and kept muttering in a low voice, "Ling Muxue, you definitely don't like that devil. Absolutely not..."
Ling Muxue was squatting there and did not notice the sound of anxious footsteps approaching.
"Xue'er, what happened to you?" Xiao Qinghan strode over and squatted down. He put his hands on her shoulders and watched her shake her head in pain, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.
Xiao Qinghan helped her up. Ling Muxue suddenly opened her eyes and looked up. She met Xiao Qinghan's worried gaze and suddenly came back to her senses. The panic in her eyes suddenly calmed down and she lowered her eyes to avoid looking into his eyes. Her expression was a little awkward.
He said mildly: "No... nothing?" As she spoke, she turned around and was about to leave. Just as she moved, a sharp pain and a cold feeling came from the bottom of her feet. She could not help but frown.
When she lowered her head, she realized that her shoes had already fallen off, and her feet were so cold that she couldn't feel them anymore.
In the next second, his body was suspended in the air and fell into a wide embrace. Subconsciously, he reached out to hug Xiao Qinghan's neck and opened his eyes to look at Xiao Qinghan.
"I let you run around! Let's see how I'll deal with you when we get back!" Xiao Qinghan looked at her coldly and spoke in a hoarse voice, but he could not hide his pampering.
Ling Muxue did not say anything. She lowered her eyes and no longer looked at him.
Xiao Qinghan returned to the main hall with Ling Muxue in his arms. He ordered someone to bring over the first aid kit and brought over the rose medicine that had been soaked in the golden jade basin. A servant was about to step forward to serve Ling Muxue, but he was shouted out by Xiao Qing with a cold voice.
Squatting down, he held her fair, delicate, and beautiful little foot in his broad hand, which was large enough to hold it, and held it as if it were a delicate piece of jade set in his palm.
Ling Muxue's entire body suddenly trembled. When she saw his actions, she quickly withdrew her foot and said anxiously, "I... I'll do it myself."
Xiao Qinghan held her foot tightly and did not let go of it. He looked up and said in a cold voice, "Again!"
Ling Muxue suddenly stopped struggling and saw him slowly raise her feet and put them into the basin. The moment her feet touched the water, Ling Muxue could not help but let out a painful sound.
Because she was running with her bare feet, there were some scratches on her palm, so it was a little painful when she touched the water.
Xiao Qinghan held her foot and said gently, "Just bear with it. It won't hurt anymore."
His voice seemed to have a magic to it. Ling Muxue let him put her feet into the water and lifted the petals of the rose. Her feet were as delicate as jade and they glowed in the water.
He gently rubbed her feet as if he was holding his most important treasure.
Ling Muxue lowered her head and looked at him. The faint crystal light enveloped his body. Instead of the cold shock, it made her feel warm. There was also an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was as if a gentle wind was blowing across her heart. In a daze, she actually felt as if Xiao Qinghan had fallen in love with her.
Because Xiao Qinghan's head was lowered, he did not notice the complicated gentleness in Ling Muxue's eyes.
The hall was strangely quiet, oddly quiet. Jon stood aside, his calm and respectful expression a little strange, and all the servants in the hall watched in amazement, as if they had seen a world miracle, even more so than a world miracle.
It was hard to imagine that a noble, regal young master would bend over to wash his feet for a woman and rub them with such attention.
The girl in front of him was enjoying the most honorable service in the world.
After Xiao Qinghan finished applying the medicine and putting on her shoes, the servant bowed and walked over to take the basin away.
Xiao Qinghan stood up and reached out to pick Ling Muxue up.
Ling Muxue was shocked. She raised her hand and pushed him away, "No need. I can walk by myself!" Her eyes were filled with indifference and coldness.
Because just now, her mind was telling her that she had forgotten the three years of suffering. If it wasn't for him, how could you have separated from Gu Shaochen? How could he have humiliated you in front of Yue Liuli? Just like that, you still thought that he liked you, and you still had some kind of strange feeling towards him. Ling Muxue, you are simply stupid to the extreme. Maybe this is just another beginning of his torture for you.
She told herself so, and her troubled mind settled, and her complex expression became indifferent.
Looking at her indifferent expression, the coldness in her eyes was suppressed by him. Finally, she said in a low voice, "How are you going to walk when your foot is injured? Be good! It's time to eat now." She was still coaxing him.
As he spoke, he was about to hug her, and Ling Muxue was about to sink into his gaze, but she still pushed him away fiercely and said in a cold voice, "I told you I would leave by myself!"
She suddenly got up and lifted her foot to leave.
However, when Xiao Qinghan pulled her back with one hand, both of her shoulders were pressed down by his hands and a cold aura rose up. Ling Muxue turned around and met his cold eyes.
"Woman! What are you up to now? Ling Muxue, you better not push yourself too far!" The anger in his hoarse voice could not be concealed. He was already lowering himself to please her.
She did not even ask her about Ye Yiheng. She was still rubbing her feet and applying the medicine, and she had been treating him coldly all this time. This heartless woman did not even have a shred of gratitude in her heart, and she did not know what it meant to be content with what she had. She was constantly challenging his bottom line.
Ling Muxue stared back at him stubbornly, telling herself that this was the real him. What he had done to you was just to gently sink into a nightmare. How could you expect to change your place in his heart when it was just the beginning of a nightmare?
No! Not at all! You will never have anything to do with him. One day, you must take Ling Yiyue and leave this place to live your own life.
