C49 A different world

The lake water sparkled under the sunlight, and the courtyard was so quiet that only the rustling of the leaves could be heard as the wind blew past.

Su Qing, dressed in a blue dress with petals, sat on the white chair. The dress outlined her curvaceous body, her jet-black hair lazily draped over her shoulders, making her look cute and obedient. Her palms lightly rested on her cheeks, and her eyes that were filled with sadness looked off into the distance, but there was no focus in her eyes.

Thinking back to what Xia Xihan had just said, Su Qing still did not believe that Ling Mo would treat her in such a way.

Based on her understanding of Ling Mo, he was definitely not a petty person like what Xia Xihan had said.

But if he wanted to spy on her to protect her, it was not impossible.

It was just that why did he send Xia Xihan here to do this before, did they know each other before? Su Qing felt that something was off.

Looking at the luxurious villa in front of him, Su Qing suddenly realised that there was a problem that she had to avoid the most, and that was the difference between the two of them. If not for Ling Mo, even if he worked hard in his entire life, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to look at such a luxurious mansion.

Is this the life of the rich? Su Qing thought back to her past self. In order to not trouble the Principal, she would save time and effort every single day. She would not even be willing to change her tattered clothes.

Suddenly, Su Qing realized that the other differences between him and Ling Mo were not only in terms of values, but also in terms of status.

A clear and crisp sound rang out, bringing Su Qing back to reality from her thoughts. She had accidentally knocked the cup away, Su Qing bent down and picked up the cup and placed it back onto the marble table.

"Madam seems to be in a bad mood today." The guard silently came behind Su Qing. He acutely detected a trace of an unusual smell.

Su Qing was not frightened by his sudden appearance, but rolled her eyes and asked: "Dr. Wei, you have a good relationship with Ling Mo, right?"

Good relationship? Wei's head tilted as he thought about it. What should he say? Was it a good idea to start a fight when they met?

Seeing that the guard was not answering her, Su Qing sighed, "What kind of existence am I to Ling Mo?"

Wei looked at her inquiringly. As expected, humans were a complex and contradictory existence. "If Madam has questions, why don't you personally ask him?"

Su Qing glanced at him speechlessly. Did he think she didn't want to ask? But what if it was real? Maybe she didn't even know how to face Ling Mo, who wanted to monitor her life.

"You don't trust him." The guard seemed to have seen through Su Qing's thoughts, her expression somewhat strange.

"No …" Su Qing subconsciously denied it, but after thinking about it again, she still could not find any words to refute, so she could only say, "I am … "Afraid."

"Afraid?" The guard sat down beside Su Qing and pacified her wrinkled eyebrows, "You're afraid of him?"

Su Qing looked at the guard blankly, but she did not stop him from doing so.

"You're afraid he'll hurt you?" After being alive for so long, the only thing he could not figure out was the human heart.

Facing the question, Su Qing lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought. Yes, she was afraid that one day Ling Mo would hurt her heart, because no matter what, she couldn't let go of Ling Mo.

Thus, she nodded, but was deeply misunderstood by Wei. Indeed, even Ling Mo was unable to control his instincts and desires. Seems like, he must have done something to Su Qing to cause him to feel fear towards him.

"Then why do you think he likes you?"

Su Qing was speechless, she really didn't know why Ling Mo would like her. Maybe she had been naive enough to think that they had just fallen in love at first sight. However, after carefully thinking about it, she felt that her simplicity was laughable. After all, they were people from two completely different worlds.
