"Don't bother Miss Shi, I'll just leave." The housekeeper didn't show anything strange, but he couldn't help but sigh that Sheng Lijue acted so obviously, maybe he wanted him to know their relationship on purpose.
He didn't know what Sheng Lijue wanted to do, and he was afraid that being too clever would ruin the young master's affairs, so he simply pretended that he hadn't seen the lawsuit between Shi Qiuqiu and Sheng Lijue.
"The old man gave the young master some rich ingredients. If Miss Shi has time, she can cook it for the young master." The housekeeper said politely: "I see that the servants and cooks are not here, so I'm troubling Miss Shi."
Shi Qiuqiu looked at the housekeeper's wise eyes, as if he had already seen through everything, and the explanation he had been thinking about for a long time was of no use.
In the end, she could only say in a low voice: "I will."
Sheng Lijue curled his lips, and his mood became happy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The housekeeper visited Sheng Lijue, and after confirming that Sheng Lijue's injuries were not serious, he gave some instructions on behalf of the old man and prepared to leave.
Sheng Lijue glanced at Shi Qiuqiu, but before he could speak, Shi Qiuqiu quickly took over: "Butler, I'll take you out."
It saves Sheng Lijue from opening his mouth and saying anything shocking.
"Sorry to trouble you, Miss Shi." The housekeeper walked ahead. Before leaving the house, he glanced at the bedroom upstairs and said with a smile, "Miss Shi, don't be nervous."
Shi Qiuqiu laughed sarcastically and really wanted to raise his hand to wipe his sweat: "I'm not nervous. It's probably because the temperature of the air conditioner in the room is too high and it's a bit hot."
"Maybe." The housekeeper smiled, but couldn't help but warned: "I watched the young master grow up. He has a cold personality and has never been keen on girls. But it made the old man very worried. The father and son were together.
We fought wits and courage countless times together, but we just couldn't get the young master to bring home a girl."
Shi Qiuqiu's scalp was numb and her heartbeat was racing. Why did the housekeeper tell her this? Was it to clarify her relationship with Sheng Lijue?
So is she going to deny it outright, or is she trying to make excuses?
Or was the housekeeper simply testing her?
No, the weather is changing, we must be steady and don't panic.
"When fate comes, it will happen naturally. You and Grandpa Sheng, don't worry too much." Shi Qiuqiu showed a professional fake smile. She didn't need to look in the mirror to know how ugly her face was now.
"I think the fate of the young master has arrived." The housekeeper looked at her deeply and said meaningfully: "Actually, I saw it when we were at the old house last time. The young master treats Miss Shi very well."
"I..." Shi Qiuqiu's face turned pale and she became even more worried.
Why did the butler mention what happened last time in the old house alone? Did the butler really see something?
"That's because Mr. Sheng is a kind person." Shi Qiuqiu said in a subtle way: "Mr. Sheng was injured this time because he was trying to help me, so I was entrusted by Dr. Yin to stay and help take care of Mr. Sheng."
The housekeeper didn't expose Shi Qiuqiu and said, "If Miss takes care of you sometimes, there must be no problem. I'll leave first."
"Go slowly." When Shi Qiuqiu heard this, she felt uneasy. She watched the housekeeper get into the car. When she touched her forehead, she was covered in sweat.
If she stays like this, I'm afraid Grandpa Sheng will soon know about her relationship with Sheng Lijue. The housekeeper has almost made it clear today.
No, she still had to keep a distance from Sheng Lijue, otherwise wouldn't their efforts be in vain?
With this thought in mind, Shi Qiuqiu packed up her things, prepared to leave a message and leave quietly, but at this moment footsteps sounded on the stairs, like a deadly note, stopping not far away.
"Where are you going?" Sheng Lijue stood at the top of the stairs and asked condescendingly.
"I..." Shi Qiuqiu felt guilty for a while, but finally decided to tell the truth: "The housekeeper must have suspected that our relationship is unusual. He was sent by Grandpa Sheng. Doesn't this mean that Grandpa Sheng already knows? Mr. Sheng
, I don’t believe you can’t see why you did that just now…”
"Why are you afraid of being discovered?" Sheng Lijue walked down step by step.
Because he was injured, he walked slowly and his face became paler, but he refused to stop as if he was self-absorbing.
Shi Qiuqiu was so frightened that she quickly dropped her bag and rushed forward: "What are you doing? You can't just get out of bed and walk around now. If you get injured..."
"Don't leave." Sheng Lijue took the opportunity to grab her wrist and ordered: "Have you forgotten what you promised?"
"I..." Shi Qiuqiu frowned.
"My injury hasn't healed yet, and you're going to break your promise and run away?" Sheng Lijue asked.
"I, I'm not, I'm just afraid..." Shi Qiuqiu looked at Sheng Lijue's fearless look and thought of what he said when he confessed, and he immediately came to his senses.
Sheng Lijue should be eager for the whole world to know about their relationship, so that he can break her engagement with Sheng Mingcheng.
Although thinking this way is a bit narcissistic, she can't control that much.
There is only one thing on her mind right now, and that is that her relationship with Sheng Lijue must not be discovered.
She said a little annoyed: "Forget it, you won't understand my thoughts anyway."
She wanted to leave here to avoid the risk of their relationship being discovered.
However, it is indeed difficult to calm down Sheng Lijue. If she dares to leave now, this person will not just get angry.
Sure enough, seeing Shi Qiuqiu insisting on leaving, Sheng Lijue's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Are you really not going to care about my life or death?"
Shi Qiuqiu wanted to be cruel and ignore Sheng Lijue, but when he saw the expression on Sheng Lijue's face, even though he knew that he was using a trick, he still softened his heart. Sheng Lijue should be aloof and should not have such a gloomy look.
"Okay, I was talking nonsense when I said I was leaving. I was wrong. I will definitely stay and take care of you until you recover." Shi Qiuqiu sighed and decided to stay and take care of Sheng Lijue: "Butler
I brought a lot of food supplements and I will make soup for you to drink tonight."
Hearing this, Sheng Lijue's expression softened: "It's okay. My wound hurts now. Please help me go back and rest."
Shi Qiuqiu quickly helped Sheng Lijue walk back, teaching him a lesson as he walked: "I told you to lie down and don't move, but you still insist on running around. The pain in the wound now is your own fault."
Sheng Lijue put most of his weight on Shi Qiuqiu. Hearing this, he stretched out his hand to pinch her earlobe and smiled: "Are you so brave now that you dare to teach me a lesson?"
"You are Mr. Sheng, I don't dare to teach you a lesson." Shi Qiuqiu helped him to the bed and said.
Although she didn't admit it in her mouth, she actually knew in her heart that Sheng Lijue was right. She didn't know when she started to be so afraid of Sheng Lijue, and occasionally she dared to talk back to him when she was bold enough.
Maybe it was just like what Sheng Lijue said before, he was used to it?
