Chapter 10

The next day, Lu Mingxiu woke up on the bed with his eyes half-closed, and his face was obviously weary. He had a gloomy aura as he casually leaned on the bed.

Su Qian’s presence was so obvious that even though he had deliberately chosen to ignore her, her even and long breathing still reverberated around him. He would wake up at the slightest movement, and he only felt a little sleepy when it was almost dawn.

Lu Mingxiu didn’t know if he was tormenting himself or her by letting Su Qian sleep on the sofa.

At this moment, an almost imperceptible smell of smoke came from the balcony, and he couldn’t help but frown.

He didn’t like the smell of smoke. He didn’t even know why he hated it from the bottom of his heart.

He rolled off the bed and walked over to Su Qian. With a tone that didn’t allow for rejection, he said, “You’re not allowed to smoke in front of me in the future.”

Hearing this, Su Qian couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

These words were exactly the same as what she had said when she first smoked in front of him. Even her expression was the same if he looked closely.

In fact, she wasn’t that addicted to smoking. She just wanted to smoke when she was upset.

It was obvious that she was not in a good mood. She held the cigarette in her left hand and deliberately blew out a beautiful smoke ring on Lu Mingxiu’s face. She looked fearless.

“If you can’t stand it, then sign the divorce papers. I’ll move out of Dijing Manor immediately.”

In the past, she might have wanted to pamper him, but now she didn’t have the mood to.

Lu Mingxiu choked on the smoke, and his originally gloomy face now looked particularly cold. He lowered his voice and slowly said, “If you want me to sign the divorce papers, then you’d better not anger me.”

Su Qian glanced at him. She didn’t want to argue with him so early in the morning, so she put out her cigarette and threw it into the trash can.

During breakfast, the butler keenly felt a strange aura between the two.

It was dark and treacherous, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Since he still couldn’t figure out the relationship between the young lady and the young master, he wisely chose not to speak.

Fortunately, just as he was about to lose it, Feng Xuanmo walked in.

When Feng Xuanmo saw the dark circles under Lu Mingxiu’s eyes due to the lack of sleep, he smiled suggestively. “Did you have a vigorous activity too late last night, causing you to not get enough sleep?”

At this point, he said with some regret, “It’s a pity that Young Lady Qin was so concerned about you yesterday. I didn’t expect you to be so comfortable in your warm and gentle home.”

Feng Xuanmo’s every word infuriated Lu Mingxiu, and his already pitch-black eyes darkened even more. “Shut up,” he said.

Sensing that Lu Mingxiu was really angry, Feng Xuanmo laughed awkwardly, “I was just joking with you. Don’t be angry. It’s just that Ms. Qin really asked about you a lot yesterday, and I almost couldn’t hold it in.”

He was obsessed with medicine and liked to face these cold machines. He had never been as eloquent as Feng Tanjiu and the others.

However, Feng Tanjiu and Huo Jingyang were both in a bad mood yesterday. Ms. Qin could naturally tell that, so she didn’t bother them and came to torment him instead.

Lu Mingxiu rubbed the edge of his cup, his eyes dark and gloomy.

“Next time, if Qin Yunshuang comes to find you to inquire about me, you can reject her straight away.”

His voice wasn’t very loud, and could be considered very low, but because it exuded an excessive calmness, it seemed extremely determined.

Feng Xuanmo was taken aback.

Before Qin Yunshuang left the country, let alone others, even he thought that in Lu Mingxiu’s heart, Qin Yunshuang must be special.

Although this young master Lu did not explicitly say that he liked Qin Yunshuang, the boundary he set for her was never something that other young ladies from wealthy families could compare to. At least, other than his few good friends, she was the only woman who could be within a meter of him.

Now, it sounded like he was going to reject her?

He subconsciously glanced at Su Qian, who was quietly eating her breakfast. He felt that Lu Mingxiu’s change had something to do with this girl.

Su Qian, who was eating breakfast, suddenly felt a gaze on her and was a little speechless. Was she getting blamed while minding her own business?

She no longer had the appetite to eat, so she hastily drank a glass of milk, picked up her clothes, and prepared to leave.

Feng Xuanmo called out to her and asked curiously, “Su Qian, where are you going?”

Su Qian stopped in her tracks, but she didn’t turn around. Her tone was a little indifferent. “I’m going to work, of course. Do you think Young Master Lu can support me for the rest of my life?”

Lu Mingxiu pursed his lips and did not say anything.

He would never easily make promises.

Feng Xuanmo felt the air around him turn cold, and he quickly shut his mouth.

“Mingxiu, I’ll check on you later to see how you’ve recovered.”

Lu Mingxiu replied with a soft “hmm”, but there was a faint coldness on his face.

As soon as Su Qian stepped out of Dijing Manor, she ran into Feng Tanjiu and Huo Jingyang.

Huo Jingyang only glanced at her briefly before quickly turning his eyes away. His gaze was cold and disdainful, as if she was some kind of plague.

Feng Tanjiu smiled gently at her. “You’re leaving so early. ”

Feng Tanjiu smiled at everyone the same way. However, she could tell that no one could enter his heart. She replied indifferently, “I want to go out for some fresh air.”

“Where do you want to go? I’ll send you.”

She rejected him.

“No, I can take a taxi.”

“Pfft!” Feng Tanjiu chuckled. “I forgot to tell you that there are no taxis around Dijing Manor.”

Su Qian was a little embarrassed.

She was considering if she should buy a car.

In the end, she didn’t refuse.

“Many thanks.”

Huo Jingyang, who was standing at the side, heard the conversation between the two and said in dissatisfaction, “Tanjiu, how special is this woman for you, Young Master Feng, to personally send her off?”

Feng Tanjiu pulled Huo Jingyang away.

“Let’s go. You don’t have anything to do anyway, so why don’t you accompany me?”

Huo Jingyang waved his fist in the air. Who said that he, the young master of the Huo family, had nothing to do? He was a busy man with a myriad of affairs every day.

In Feng Tanjiu’s eyes, Huo Jingyang’s struggle was child’s play as he was pushed into the car without any effort.

Huo Jingyang sat in the car and turned his face away unhappily. He felt a little embarrassed in front of Su Qian.

From the moment Su Qian got into the car, she had been supporting her chin with her right hand and hadn’t moved at all, allowing the scenery outside to pass by her eyes.

Feng Tanjiu glanced at the rearview mirror. He had to admit that Su Qian, without her disguise, had a kind of flirtatious beauty. But for some reason, it made his heart break.

“You still haven’t told me where you’re going.”

“Polaris.”

Huo Jingyang’s face was full of disdain. “You’re going to a bar in the middle of the day. You’re really something. No wonder you can’t compare to Qin Yunshuang.”
