C158 Thank You

Ling Muxue placed the tray on the wide circular desk beside her. Looking at his tall but desolate back, she felt an inexplicable desire to hug him, but there was a hint of coldness and alienation. She did not understand where this coldness and alienation came from.

Ling Muxue did not know what to say for a moment because of the cold atmosphere.

She just stood in front of the desk.

The man in front of the French window did not turn around at all. He just continued to smoke. In the quiet air, only the sound of his breathing could be heard.

Just as the last trace of light disappeared, Xiao Qinghan lowered his hand, and at that moment, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his strong waist from the back, and a unique charm of hers enveloped him in an instant.

His tall body froze and his hands froze in the air. His dark eyes widened in surprise, shock, ecstasy, and a kind of repression that was hard to let go. In the past, he would have turned around and pulled her into his arms, but now...

She leaned against his broad back, and all Ling Muxue felt was a strong sense of security.

"Xiao Qinghan, thank you!" A soft and weak voice, like a feather, lightly swept across Xiao Qinghan's heart, making him unable to endure.

Threads of light enveloped the two of them, giving off an indescribable feeling.

At the same time, Xiao Qinghan's mind kept replaying what had happened that day. The thought of her already unclean body and the repression that he could not let go of turned into resistance, but she had always been the woman he had placed in his heart.

Complicated emotions surged in his eyes. He must tear the person who dared to take her into a thousand pieces.

As Ling Muxue leaned against him, she could feel that something was wrong with the aura coming from his body. Just as she was about to speak, her arm suddenly loosened and her body was pushed away violently. She lost her balance and fell backward.

Ling Muxue grabbed the desk beside her in time and stared at Xiao Qinghan with her eyes wide in disbelief. However, under the light, she did not see any pain in his eyes that he was trying his best to endure.

Xiao Qinghan strode towards the door without looking back. His back was so cold and resolute.

"Xiao Qinghan!" she shouted, only to see his back disappearing at the door.

Ling Muxue stood there in a daze. What was wrong with him? Was he blaming her? Was he blaming her for not listening to him and returning to the manor yesterday? If that was the case, why didn't he say a word and just pushed her away coldly? She didn't understand.

For the next few days, Ling Muxue did not see Xiao Qinghan. For the next few days, he slept in separate rooms and did not return to the master bedroom.

During the night, she did not know what was going on, but she could not fall asleep and could not sleep. When she woke up in the morning, she habitually flipped her body back, but there was nothing behind her.

She had gotten used to Xiao Qinghan sleeping with her in his arms every night, feeling his broad embrace. In the morning, she had gotten used to Xiao Qinghan kissing her intimately, and she was not used to being alone all of a sudden.

At breakfast, Xiao Qinghan finished his meal early and left the manor. He came back late at night.

Ling Muxue had no idea why he had such a sudden change in attitude. If he was really angry with her, it would be impossible for Xiao Qinghan to hold back and not vent his anger on her. He was avoiding her as if he was deliberately avoiding her.

"Elder Sister!" Ling Yiyue looked at Ling Muxue in a daze as she stirred the porridge in the bowl and called out softly. However, Ling Muxue did not react at all.

"Elder sister!"

...""

"Elder Sister!" This time, Ling Yiyue raised her voice and called out to her.

"Hmm?" Ling Muxue suddenly raised her head and looked at Ling Yiyue. She smiled habitually and said, "What happened to Yiyue?"

"I should be asking you that! What's wrong with my sister these days? She looks so pale, and why have my sister and brother Qinghan been acting so strange these days?"

Because before Ling Yiyue came to the manor, Ling Muxue told him not to call him brother-in-law, so as not to expose their relationship. Moreover, Xiao Qinghan probably didn't want to admit their relationship in front of everyone.

Once he was exposed, he would think it was troublesome for him.

"Elder sister and Brother Qinghan... Did they argue?" Ling Yiyue looked at Ling Muxue's face and asked carefully.

Ling Muxue did not know how to reply to Ling Yiyue. After all, they had never quarreled before.

She looked at Ling Yiyue and restrained her expression. She smiled faintly, "Nothing? Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, big sister will accompany you to the piano practice room!"

Now, the ring was nowhere to be found. It seemed like she had to find another way to pay Ling Yiyue's tuition fees, and now that she suddenly had such an awkward and depressing relationship with Xiao Qinghan, she could not ask him for help.

Ling Muxue stayed with Ling Yiyue in the piano practice room for a while, but she was really distracted and wandered around the castle.

Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down. Ling Muxue looked up and suddenly noticed the decorations and the familiar door in front of her.

She remembered the first time she came to this place, she was curious about what was behind the door. At that time, she heard the maid say that the floor was a forbidden area. No one could come to this floor without the young master's permission.

Now, she was also curious about what was behind the door.

...

A few days ago.

"Trash!" A furious roar accompanied by a bang shook the entire room, bringing with it a terrifying and terrifying aura.

"This subordinate deserves to die!" A man dressed in a black cloak knelt down in front of Xiao Qinghan on one knee.

"You really deserve to die!" He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

Just as Xiao Qinghan took Ling Muxue away from his abandoned villa, he was sent here by Xiao Qinghan to investigate. However, when he arrived, the whole villa was on fire. All the trees within a few miles were turned into ashes in the sea of fire. It was indeed very difficult to investigate further. Even the sports car that was parked on the side of the road suddenly exploded. He looked for the license plate and the result was black license plate.

There was nothing to be found. It meant that there was no way to find out who had kidnapped Ling Muxue.

How could Xiao Qinghan not be furious? Someone actually dared to touch his woman right under his nose. Damn it!

When Xiao Qinghan calmed down, he thought about it carefully. At the edge of the field, that man must have been unable to take her away in time because of some unexpected situation, and that she must have been taken to the villa by someone else.

What made him extremely uncomfortable was the fact that Ling Muxue must have seen the person who took her. Could it be him?

"Go and check if Gu Shaochen has returned to B City immediately."

"Yes!"

Suddenly, Xiao Qinghan seemed to have remembered something. There was indeed something wrong with the white-robed man. "Wait! Go back to France immediately and check if you missed H5 reagent in GC?"
