Chapter 618 Deliberately creating a chance encounter
Gu Yichen glanced upstairs, feeling a little uneasy. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally lost control and walked upstairs.
He knocked on the door twice, and it didn't take long for the door to open quickly.
Qiu Lingxue's face didn't look good. After seeing him, her eyes shone with surprise.
"Gu Yichen, why are you up here?"
Gu Yichen paused and said, "I happened to be passing by, so I stopped by and asked, what are you doing right now?"
There was an imperceptible concern in his tone.
"I'm working," Qiu Lingxue coughed as she felt unwell, "Xi Xi and I have discussed that we should make the dress as soon as this afternoon."
Gu Yichen was keenly aware that something was wrong with her, his eyes stayed firmly on her face, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qiu Lingxue didn't want them to worry, so she just said lightly, "It's a little uncomfortable, but it's nothing serious."
She didn't want to delay work because of herself.
The stronger Qiu Lingxue becomes, the more distressed Gu Yichen becomes.
He wished he could just pick her up and take her to the hospital to check her condition.
However, as soon as this impulse came over, Gu Yichen thought of the relationship between the two of them and had no choice but to hold it back.
Gu Yichen was worried and said tactfully, "Sometimes it's just a small cold that you don't pay attention to, which makes you feel uncomfortable for a long time. Otherwise, I will accompany you to the hospital, or I will ask the doctor to come and take a look at you."
Qiu Lingxue shook her head, "There's no need to mobilize troops like this. I'll just drink some medicine and it'll be fine."
Having already said this, Gu Yichen couldn't say anything more.
His eyes were full of concern, his fingers tightened again and again, and he said, "Then if anything happens to you, just call me."
Qiu Lingxue curled her lips, "I know, I know, when did you become so nagging? I will continue to work."
After saying that, she waved her hand and returned to the room.
Gu Yichen froze on the spot, twitching the corners of his lips and showing a bitter smile.
In fact, he doesn't want to become like this...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
Qiu Lingxue managed to finish the details of the evening dress, ironed it, and packed it up.
After she simply put on makeup to cover up her vitality, she said hello to everyone and prepared to take her dress to Lady Margaret's place.
Just as she was about to go out, Gu Yichen followed her.
"Qiu Lingxue, I will send you there."
Hearing this, Qiu Lingxue couldn't help but look at him strangely.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Gu Yichen seemed to be particularly concerned about her...
Gu Yichen's eyes sank, and he said in a pretending to be relaxed tone, "Don't forget, in the eyes of Mrs. Margaret, I am your assistant Xiao Gu!"
Qiu Lingxue couldn't help being amused by his words, and the corners of her lips curved up.
She was not a hypocritical person, so she agreed.
"Tsk, why don't you still remember? Let's go and follow your boss. I'll pay you your salary at the end of the month!"
Gu Yichen laughed and said, "Okay."
Twenty minutes later, the vehicle arrived at the palace.
The two of them walked in together and came to Lady Margaret's door.
After all, Gu Yichen was a foreigner, so it was difficult to go in, so he waited for her outside.
Qiu Lingxue walked in with her evening dress, but did not see Lady Margaret inside.
Instead, she met the person she least wanted to see right now...Shan Qianyu!!!
He was sitting in the main hall, with smooth lines on his profile, and he was slowly drinking a cup of coffee.
Qiu Lingxue's pupils trembled. She never expected that such a thing would happen. Her body suddenly stiffened and she almost subconsciously wanted to leave.
But then he thought that he was here to do business and shouldn't be bothered by such trivial matters...
Qiu Lingxue pretended to be calm and regarded Shan Qianyu who was not far away as air, without even looking at him.
Qiu Lingxue asked the servant next to her, "Hello, I'm here to see Mrs. Margaret."
The servant smiled slightly and said, "Miss Qiu, Madam is changing clothes upstairs, please wait a moment."
Qiu Lingxue nodded slightly and hummed slightly.
The servant retreated, and instantly, they were the only two people left in the entire main hall.
The atmosphere at the scene was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of a pin dropping.
After Shan Qianyu learned that Qiu Lingxue was coming to the palace in the afternoon, he deliberately stopped what he was doing and came here just to see her.
However, what he never expected was...
When they really met, the atmosphere was so bad.
Shan Qianyu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Qiu Lingxue, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Hearing this, Qiu Lingxue's eyebrows moved slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
She thought that Shan Qianyu would never take the initiative to take care of her again in this life...
"No."
When Shan Qianyu heard this, he was almost furious to death.
This woman...
"What is your relationship with Gu Yichen?"
When he looked back and thought about the state of the two of them getting along, he always felt that something was a little strange.
Qiu Lingxue had not forgotten his attitude towards her when she had to explain last night.
She said angrily, "It's the relationship you want."
Shan Qianyu's face darkened successfully.
Does she have to talk to herself in this manner?
He looked at the woman in front of him, took a deep breath, softened his temper, and said, "Qiu Lingxue, I know I was a little impulsive last night and had a bad attitude toward you, but that's why I care.
So I cannot accept this."
He said, "Now, let's both calm down and communicate clearly, okay?"
It's rare for Shan Qianyu to meet a girl he likes, and he doesn't want to miss it with such regret.
When Qiu Lingxue heard this, her eyelashes visibly trembled, and she couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Qiu Lingxue originally thought that they would never have any intersection in their lives from now on.
But I never expected that Shan Qianyu would be the one who surrendered first...
Her heart suddenly became a little confused, her head felt dizzy, and her eyes felt dizzy.
Qiu Lingxue felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of him, so she stood up directly and planned to hand these evening clothes to the servants and leave.
Shan Qianyu was stunned.
He didn't expect that Qiu Lingxue would still want to avoid him after he said this...
Shan Qianyu was a little anxious, couldn't help but stand up, grabbed her wrist, and found that her body temperature was extremely hot, and his brows instantly knitted together.
"Are you sick?"
"No," Qiu Lingxue pursed her thin lips, "I'll think about that later and explain it to you later."
