Xiao Qingwan opened the door with a creak and whispered: "Brother?"
The light in the room was very dark, and there was a figure with his back to her, holding a newly lit candle in his hand and placing it on the table.
Hearing the sound, the man put down the candle lamp. In the yellowish light, his handsome face became more angular. He turned around and said with a smile: "Here?"
Xiao Qingwan couldn't help but smile on her face, pretending to be generous and stepped into the room: "Brother, I'm here to deliver food to you."
Xiao Lingchen frowned secretly.
She was always intimate and natural before, so why did she become so flattering and distant in just a moment
"Put your things down. There is no one else here tonight. Have a meal with me."
Xiao Qingwan was stunned for a moment, then became furious.
Sure enough, that bitch Xiao Baishu hooked up with Xiao Lingchen again without her knowing it!
But she didn't dare to show it, her eyes flickered, and she quickly calmed down, and agreed with a smile: "Brother asked, Qing Wan dare not disobey, please sit down, Qing Wan will serve you soup."
Xiao Lingchen stared at her coldly, and his heart became more and more intense.
That child would never say "I dare not disobey".
She was very bold. She asked him to go to bed early and eat more meals. She was always the one who made the request. When did she serve others with such humiliation
I don't know when, but the expectations he had for her disappeared when the girl in front of him pretended to please and flatter her.
He couldn't feel any closeness to this girl, only boredom.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Qingwan's heart was pounding, and she always felt a chill in her back. There was anxiety hidden in her expression. She didn't know what was wrong, so she could only take out the soup basin more carefully, scooped out a bowl carefully, and gently brought it to Xiao Lingchen. .
"Can you taste it?"
Xiao Lingchen didn't move.
Xiao Qingwan came closer, and a strong fragrance of makeup and powder wafted over. Xiao Lingchen's nose itched and he frowned more and more.
No, she wouldn't be the kind of person who loves the fragrance of makeup. He clearly remembered that she was often accompanied by the warm smell of fireworks, not this deliberately artificial smell!
Xiao Lingchen suddenly waved his hand.
"Forget it, step aside and I'll drink it myself. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest early."
Xiao Qingwan's expression suddenly changed, and she screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Brother, what did I do wrong?"
Xiao Lingchen's face turned cold, and she immediately became excited, twitching the corners of her mouth, lowered her head and replied: "...Yes."
Regardless of whether he had made any mistakes or not, he could not question Xiao Lingchen. He was the master of the Taifu Mansion and he was the one he could not offend under any circumstances.
After leaving Xiao Lingchen's main courtyard, Xiao Qingwan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and walked back.
Guards passed by from time to time on the road and greeted her with a smile. Xiao Qingwan was afraid that others would notice the difference, so she deliberately greeted her intimately: "It's so cold, so keep warm. Thank you for your hard work!"
She thought she had shown her considerate side to her servants, but she didn't know that behind her, the guards' faces were filled with confusion.
"Girl, what's going on, I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard it..."
Whether you are sincere or just perfunctory, others can actually see it clearly.
If you really care, even if you just ask the housekeeper to put more charcoal basins in the house and send more cotton-padded clothes, it will be a heart-warming ironing note, and it will be much more sincere than this cold and embarrassing casual expression of concern.
Like she is now, the more she deliberately shows kindness, the more people feel...
Pretentious.
