C159 Avoiding Her on Purpose

Ling Muxue reached out and pressed the handle, but the door was locked and could not be opened. She did not continue, but she became more and more curious about what was behind the door.

Since there was no way to open it, Ling Muxue could only leave. When it was noon, Ling Muxue walked into the kitchen without realizing it. She thought of what Xiao Qinghan said to her intimately when he hugged her and told her that she would cook lunch for him in the future.

She wanted to know what had happened to Xiao Qinghan. Was he really blaming her? He was avoiding her, and she couldn't talk to him.

In the end, she decided to cook lunch and send it to him.

This time, she accepted the chef's guidance and cooked the dishes with great care. Perhaps she really did do it with great care, but several exquisite dishes were approved by the chef.

Maybe she was wrong because she couldn't think of any reason for Xiao Qinghan's sudden change in attitude toward her, so she marked the lemongrass shrimp with salad dressing with the word Sorry.

After everything was ready, she asked Jon to send a car to send her to the company.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ling. Young Master has instructed that you can only stay in the manor without his orders." Jon said respectfully. He also saw the change in the young master's attitude towards Miss Ling, so he couldn't guess what the young master was thinking.

If the young master suddenly lost his feelings for Miss Ling, why did he leave her in the manor, and in the master bedroom? Instead, the young master went to the guest room.

"What?" Ling Muxue was shocked. Without his order, she could not leave this place. This was indirectly restricting her feet.

Why was he restricting her? She could not understand! What did she do wrong? No! She could not let this continue. She had to find out.

Since he didn't let her out of the manor, she could only wait for him to return.

She sat in the living room until midnight. It was almost twelve o'clock, but Xiao Qinghan still hadn't returned.

"Miss Ling, go back to your room and rest early!" Jon advised her respectfully from the side. He had already advised her many times, but she didn't have any intention of returning to her room. "You don't have to worry about me, Jon. You should go back and get some rest as well!"

"Miss Ling..." Jon wanted to continue persuading her, but he was interrupted by Ling Muxue.

"It's fine! Tell them to go and get some rest. It's already very late. If he comes back and asks, I will explain it for you." She said because she knew that if Xiao Qinghan didn't return, they wouldn't be able to rest either, but it was indeed very late now.

At last, only Ling Muxue and Jon were left in the spacious living room. After all, as the housekeeper, he had to wait until the young master came to serve him. The sound of the diamond clock ticking was particularly loud in the silent living room.

Until two in the morning, there was still no sign of Xiao Qinghan coming back. Ling Muxue was really too sleepy and her eyelids were heavy, but she kept persisting. She had washed her face with cold water countless times, and she looked at Jon as if nothing had happened. She still looked very respectful. She was indeed worthy of being Xiao Qinghan's exclusive butler.

Jon had tried to talk her out of it many times, but she still had no intention of going back to her room.

In the end, Ling Muxue did not insist and fell asleep on the sofa. Just as she fell asleep, a tall and handsome figure walked in.

"Young master!" Jon called out respectfully.

In fact, Jon had been the young master for a long time and had come back a long time ago. It was just that he saw that Miss Ling had no intention of going back to her room to rest, so he didn't come in either.

It was obvious that the young master was deliberately hiding from Miss Ling.

Xiao Qinghan walked to the sofa and squatted down to look at the face that he missed so much. He had been avoiding her for the past few days and didn't see her. Only he knew the pain, and his entire body felt like it was burning.

Every night when he could not fall asleep, her figure would always appear in front of his eyes. She was lying in his arms.

But looking at her brought back to him the image of that day, the pain, the self-reproach, and more than anything else, the resistance. He really could not bear the thought of someone seeing her body, and even more the thought of touching her body, and the suppressed anger that burned at the thought of it.

Jon would report Ling Muxue's situation at the manor to Xiao Qinghan on time. She was depressed every day, and in Xiao Qinghan's eyes, she was in a daze because of that matter. In his heart, he was even more certain that Ling Muxue had really been...

(Because Ling Muxue would never have been so distracted when Xiao Qinghan was not around. After all, the two of them had been torturing each other for three years, and it was also possible for them to change their minds in such a short period of time, not to mention a person as extreme as Xiao Qinghan. )

"Young Master, if I may be so bold, you and Miss Ling..." Jon asked cautiously, but before he could finish his sentence, he was met with an extremely sharp gaze.

Jon didn't say anything else. Suddenly, as if he had heard something, he said, "Young Master, Miss Ling made lunch for you today. It was supposed to be delivered to you at noon yesterday, but you told Miss Ling not to leave the manor."

Xiao Qinghan's eyes darkened as he listened to Jon's words. The joy in his eyes was quickly suppressed as he ordered in a cold voice, "Give it to me!"

"Yes sir!"

Ten minutes later, Jon brought the exquisite thermos from the kitchen and set it on the coffee table. Xiao Qinghan could not hide his anticipation as he opened the thermos and took out the food.

When he opened the first box, there were three eye-catching words: I'm sorry!

Xiao Qinghan's entire body suddenly froze. He opened the lid of the lunchbox and his hands froze to the side. His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his deep eyes became complicated and difficult to understand.

Was she apologizing to him because she was tainted?

When she saw those three words, the strong emotion in her heart burst out, and she quickly closed the lid.

At this moment, Ling Muxue opened her eyes.

"Xiao Qinghan!" Ling Muxue suddenly stood up and only heard a clank. The rice and the lid fell off and in an instant, Xiao Qinghan had already stood up and walked to the stairs with big strides. He was about to leave. Ling Muxue just felt that her eyes were playing tricks on her. He was clearly sitting on the sofa.

"Xiao Qinghan, wait a minute, let's talk!" she said excitedly as she ran toward the stairs, but her knees hit the coffee table because of the intensity of her movement.

"Ah..." Ling Muxue screamed in pain and tripped on the carpet.

"Miss Ling!"

When Xiao Qinghan, who was leaving in big strides, heard the cry of pain, he turned his head abruptly. Without any hesitation, he came to Ling Muxue's side and helped her up before Jon. He picked her up and placed her on the sofa.

The first thing he saw was her swollen knee. His cold eyes focused on it, and he ordered coldly: "Go get the medicine!"

"Yes sir!"

The young master clearly cared a lot about Miss Ling, and it was all out of instinct. If he didn't care so much about a person, how could the young master have such a reaction and unable to hide his worry? But why did the young master deliberately avoid Miss Ling? No one could figure it out.
