Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The man who was so pa.s.sionate in bed the night before was treating her so coldly today. The thought of it gave Su Qianxun a sense of suffocation.
Long Sijue ate very little for breakfast. After he was done, he rose and left the dining hall.
Su Qianxun finally got to go back to her room to take a breather.
The rooms for servants in Jin Garden were divided into single rooms and double rooms. Su Qianxun’s room was a single room. She was so tired that she immediately plopped onto the bed the moment she entered her room.
Su Qianxun had only rested for a few minutes when someone knocked on the door. She was told that there were guests in Jin Garden and that she was required to attend to them.
Su Qianxun could only accept her fate and get up. She changed into a new set of clothes and spent a little time was.h.i.+ng up before leaving her room.
Su Qianxun saw a few people when she arrived in the living room, and she immediately became rather nervous. The guests were none other than Long Aotian, Xiao Mingyan, Lan Qingcheng, and Lan Qingcheng’s father.
When Su Qianxun walked into the living room, Long Sijue, too, entered from the other side. He was expressionless as he muttered a simple greeting. He then walked over to a single couch and sat down.
Even though Long Sijue was only wearing simple clothes, Lan Qingcheng widened her eyes in admiration when she saw him. There was even an acute sense of suffocation in her chest. ‘This man is seriously something!’
Only now did she know that he was also capable of looking so captivating on casual occasions. He looked like he just walked out of the pages of a comic book. Even though he was expressionless, to her, his misty orbs exuded a devilishly charming aura.
Su Qianxun walked towards the other servants and was about to stand beside them when Xiao Mingyan suddenly slapped the armrest of her wheelchair in annoyance. She said coldly, “What happened? Are there no rules in Jin Garden nowadays? Why isn’t this servant standing where she should? How can she be so undisciplined before guests? Aunt Zhang, slap her!”
Xiao Mingyan pointed at Su Qianxun who was late to the party. The moment she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang who was standing behind her walked towards the young woman.
Long Sijue who was sitting on the couch had just showered. He did not even style his hair, and strands of hair covered his piercing gaze. He slowly tapped the armrest of the couch with his finger…
Su Qianxun’s hand, which hung on both sides of her body, were balled up tightly as she stared at the fierce-looking old woman before him. Just as Aunt Zhang raised her hand and was about to slap Su Qianxun, Lan Qingcheng said gently. “Hold on, Aunt Zhang. Aunty, I kind of know Qianxun. Is it okay if you forgive her for my sake?”
Lan Qingcheng extended her hand and held Xiao Mingyan’s hand affectionately.
Aunt Zhang immediately looked at Xiao Mingyan. Xiao Mingyan looked at Lan Qingcheng with a tender look on her face and said, “You’re such a kind person. All right, then, I’ll let her off the hook this time for your sake! You, why aren’t you thanking Qingcheng for speaking up on your behalf!?”
Xiao Mingyan’s gaze was seething with hatred as she stared at Su Qianxun!
Su Qianxun did not know who Xiao Mingyan was, but she recognized her as the woman who captured her and tried to humiliate her in an extreme manner.
She tried her best to calm herself down. She was at a disadvantageous position right now, and there was no point in arguing with them and making life difficult for herself.
“Thank you, Miss Lan.” The young woman thanked Lan Qingcheng flatly.
Long Sijue was tapping the armrest with his finger. When he heard that, his finger froze in the air.
“Qianxun, since you’re working in Jin Garden, you must know this place very well, right? This is my first time here. Why don’t you bring me around?”
Lan Qingcheng wore an excited expression. She rose, jogged towards Su Qianxun like a little girl and held Su Qianxun’s arm.
“Qingcheng, remember who you are. Don’t just befriend anyone you see. You need to choose your friends carefully!” Lan Qingcheng’s father glanced at Su Qianxun in annoyance. It only took one look for him to deem her as a sl*t.
