”Li Luo, I want to sleep for a while. Maybe I woke up a little early in the morning, so I'm very sleepy right now.”
Jin Se had already put down the pearl curtain when she arrived in her bedroom. It was obvious that she wanted to be alone and quiet.
Qi Yue went out early in the morning to do some work and returned home around noon. The sky was extremely bright, and when Qi Yue returned, his shirt was pressed tightly against his chest.
He was the first to walk towards Jin Se, and the moment he entered the courtyard, he saw Li Luo.
”Where is your daughter?”
Qi Yue reached his head into the room and pulled down the curtains covering the bedroom, cutting it off from the rest of the bedroom. Qi Yue could not help but lower his voice.
”Is he taking a nap?”
Li Luo bowed towards Qi Yue in panic, then said, ”This lady woke up rather early today, so after bidding farewell to the wife, I will return and continue my sleep.”
Li Luo's expression was not good, even a fool would be able to tell that he had met with some unhappiness.
”So that's how it is?”
Qi Yue's voice was also lowered, he indicated for Li Luo to come out, so as to not disturb his sleep.
”When you went to pay your respects in the morning, were you always by your side?”
Qi Yue should have already guessed what was going on. The Mrs. Xue had been helping him with his wedding these days.
Ever since Qi Yue returned from the Suzhou, he knew about the little tricks the Mrs. Xue was up to.
What he was most afraid of was his mother mentioning Miss Lin in front of Jin Se.
”I heard that Young Master is going to marry the Lin Clan's young miss? That's what we heard when we were talking to our wives, so congratulations, young master. ”
Li Luo seemed to have treated Qi Yue as an ungrateful person, and it was truly hard for Qi Yue to say anything.
”My wife really told this matter to Jin Se … ”Really!”
Qi Yue was angry, as a servant, she finally realised that her words were not right. She changed her tone, but she could not help but harden her tone, ”How is Second Young Master and my family's lady like? We can't keep our girls in confusion... We girls are not easily bullied. ”
”Your words are a bit strange. Who said that they would bully your girl?”
Qi Yue laughed bitterly, there had never been a servant who dared to speak to him like this before.
”I know that the Second Young Master would not do something like that, but at least give us Miss an explanation.”
Li Luo was clearly trying to fight for her master's sake, but when she wanted to argue with him, she was stopped by Jin Se who had just woken up.
”How did you talk to Second Young Master? Not light or heavy? ”Check out your identity.”
Jin Se's tone was somewhat strict. After she finished speaking, she could not bear to treat Li Luo like that, so she pulled Li Luo back.
”Is my sister up? Did you sleep well? ”
When Qi Yue looked at Jin Se, he could not help but feel a sharp pain in his eyes when he looked at Qi Yue.
”Thank you, second brother, for your concern. As expected, home is better than outside.”
Jinsi stretched with feigned ease, then laughed at Yan Yan Yan.
”Hurry, get my second brother some tea that my aunt just gave me, do you want to drink a cup of tea before we go, Second Elder Brother?”
The first few words were for Li Luo, but the second one was for Qi Yue.
The tea leaves were sent by the Lin Family, so Qi Yue should know, but she did not have any other intentions, she only wanted an answer.
”No need, no need to be so busy. I'll just look at you and then leave.”
Qi Yue walked closer to Jin Se, step by step. Jin Se felt that Qi Yue was getting closer, so he slowly retreated backwards, ”What is Second Elder Brother doing?”
”I think you're angry.”
Qi Yue felt guilty but also secretly happy. He should not have made Jin Se feel bad, but seeing that she cared so much, did that mean that Jin Se cared about him too?
