C160 More and More Haggard

"Xiao Qinghan, why have you been hiding from me these past few days?" she asked.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qinghan was squatting in front of her, his hand still on her swollen knee. He rubbed it with his thumb, and his eyes darkened. He did not answer Ling Muxue's question.

After a long while, Ling Muxue still did not hear Xiao Qinghan's answer.

Xiao Qinghan took the ointment from Jon and applied it back and forth on Ling Muxue's red and swollen knee.

Seeing that Xiao Qinghan hadn't said a word, he lowered his head so that she could not see his expression. Ling Muxue did not know what he was thinking at all. She could feel that Xiao Qinghan was intentionally alienating her. His cold attitude towards her made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Xiao Qinghan..." Just as she was about to ask him.

"It's getting late, go back to your room and rest!" As she spoke, she got up and handed the ointment to Jon. Then, she picked up Ling Muxue from the sofa and brought her back to the bedroom.

A pair of eyes watched the scene from some obscure corner of the house, and when the two of them had left the drawing room, the figure left at a rapid pace, making its way towards the more secluded grove of trees in the manor, careful to avoid the patrols on the way.

She took out her phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, the other side answered.

"Hello! Miss Rorai!"

"Don't you know that I'm a very impatient person?" Rorai said with an extremely displeased and cold voice.

"I'm sorry, Miss Rorai. I can't do anything about it. It's not easy for me to find this position and there is a weak signal." She lowered her voice and said in a very low voice.

After a while of observation, she had learned that there was no signal anywhere else in the manor except for Xiao Qinghan's study and the master bedroom, where one or two guest rooms had a signal.

The signal at the place she was at was extremely weak, as it was close to the outer perimeter.

"Tell me! How is the situation?"

"He's been out early and coming back late, and they've been sleeping in separate rooms for days, and today she made lunch for him, but I heard Jon say she was grounded and couldn't get out of the house until tonight, when she waited until he came back, and I could see that he was still concerned about her, and I don't know why, but I felt that he was avoiding her on purpose, not wanting to see her."

"Deliberately avoiding him?" Rorai paused in confusion.

"En! The two of them have not seen each other for the past few days, so I don't know what's going on. But judging from what happened tonight, I think he still cares a lot about her. "

Rorai paused for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Continue to observe. Once there is any movement from her, inform me immediately."

"Yes! Miss Rorai!"

"Wait!"

"Miss Rorai, what else do you want?"

"Find a chance to go to her room and help me find something ..."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Rorai rubbed the man with a puzzled expression. Why did he deliberately hide from her?

Of course, she had seen how Xiao Qinghan had instantly killed Ling Muxue. Since that year, she had never seen him in a state where his blood was heavy. If she had not left in time at that time, she might have been discovered by him.

From this, it was obvious how much Xiao Qinghan cared about Ling Muxue, but why?

She kept replaying the scene in her mind. When Ling Muxue was terrified, the man who almost touched her... Suddenly, when she thought of this, Rorai was stunned. According to what she knew about Xiao Qinghan, he would never touch a dirty woman. The situation Ling Muxue was in at that time...

Could it be that Xiao Qinghan thought that Ling Muxue was... Since he loved Ling Muxue so much, and watched the woman he loved be... That was why he was releasing such a heavy blood aura.

Perhaps he didn't want to see her because he thought that Ling Muxue had been... And he couldn't let go of her. His concern for her also stemmed from his love for her.

Thinking about this, the smile on Rorai's face became deeper and deeper. Her blue eyes that were as deep as the sea hid a monstrous dark and ruthless expression.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on Lee Yechen's handsome face, and her fingers gently caressed it back and forth, "Ah Ye! Why do you always make me unhappy, but I still love you so much?" She smiled wickedly, "It is my birthday the day after tomorrow. I won't accept anything that you have given me."

Xiao Qinghan's face was cold all the way. Ling Muxue didn't know where to start when she saw his cold and combative expression.

Xiao Qinghan put her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Ling Muxue pulled his arm and said anxiously, "I'm sorry, Xiao Qinghan, I..." Before she finished speaking.

He pressed his index finger to her lips. He didn't want to hear what she was going to say next, and the panic in her eyes told him that she was sorry. It was obvious to him that it was because of that matter.

"I don't need to say anything more, I know, it's late, go to bed," he said softly, as he reached over and let go of her hand on his arm and put it under the covers.

He turned around and left with large strides.

"Xiao Qinghan!" Ling Muxue quickly got off the bed and hugged his tight waist from behind. She leaned against his back and said, "I can't fall asleep!" Her voice was low and she didn't know why she missed his embrace so much.

Even Xiao Qinghan didn't know how much strength he had used to let go of her hand.

The next day.

Ling Muxue did not know how she had fallen asleep last night. She looked up to see that the clock on the clock was already nine o'clock. Instinctively, she tilted her head to look at the seat beside her. It was empty.

He still did not accompany her. Her heart became more and more depressed. What was going on? She could clearly feel that Xiao Qinghan was still the same as before, but why was he trying so hard to resist her?

Was it because he didn't listen to her that he started to resist her just like that?

No, she must ask him clearly. It just so happened to be Saturday today, so he probably didn't go to the company.

Previously, she had already told him that he didn't need to serve her in the morning, and that all the maids were not here to serve her.

When he had finished washing up, he sat at the dressing table and combed his smooth hair. He couldn't help but think of how Xiao Han had tied his hair and combed it, and his expression grew more and more desolate.

Suddenly, his eyes noticed that his face was becoming more and more haggard. The hand that was combing his hair froze.
