NOVEL NEXT After combing Su Ruoqing’s hair, Chun Xiu deliberately braided it in an untrendy style for her.
Now it was the period of social reform, and everyone was learning from the foreigners to dress and live, which was the trend. Except for the country girls and servants, no one would wear such a braid.
Chun Xiu wanted Su Ruoqing to make a fool of herself in front of the young general, so she purposely braided her hair like this and tied an ugly red rope on the tail of the braid.
As Su Ruoqing kept her head lowered all the time, she seemed to be unaware of Chun Xiu’s little trick.
After everything was finished, she followed the maid downstairs for dinner.
Leng Yuhe leaned on the sofa and was discussing with two adjutants. They were talking about something interesting, and he had a smile on his indifferent lips. The smile diluted the cold and murderous aura on his face, adding a little soft beauty to him.
Su Ruoqing looked up at him, hearing him say, “Killing him was a wise move!”
She was scared, so she quickly looked away.
Hearing her footsteps, Leng Yuhe looked back.
Su Ruoqing slowly walked down the stairs, with the skirt spreading like flowers, and the light shoe tips inside occasionally revealed. Lowering her brows, she was calm and gentle. There was unspeakable charm in that “old-fashioned” dress on her.
She was like jade, with elegance in her bones which couldn’t be hidden.
Such clothes suited her well.
Leng Yuhe clicked his lips with satisfaction while waving her over.
Su Ruoqing didn’t dare to hesitate any more, so she walked to him obediently.
Leng Yuhe took her hand and sat her down. His sharp gaze swept her back and forth, and finally he raised his hand, grabbing the long black braid playfully.
“I like your braid.” As he said that, he deliberately pulled it, like a bad boy who pulled a girl’s hair when he was young.
Su Ruoqing was unhappy but could not say anything. She just lowered her head, letting Leng Yuhe play with her hair.
The dining table was beside the skinning area.
The carpet which was stained with red blood had been removed earlier, while the light fragrance of flowers in the air completely covered up the blood and cruelness a moment ago.
But Su Ruoqing couldn’t forget those pictures.
For dinner, they had steak, medium rare, like the human flesh that had been stripped alive.
Su Ruoqing looked at the bloody meat and felt uncomfortable in her stomach. She didn’t have any appetite but just wanted to vomit.
The sounds of the knife and fork passing through the plate kept coming, as Leng Yuhe was enjoying his dinner with a great appetite.
Su Ruoqing stole a glance at him, to see that he was putting scarlet beef in his mouth. Unable to resist the overwhelming urge to vomit, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and retch.
Leng Yuhe stopped eating, with a frown.
“I’m sorry, I… Huh!” Su Ruoqing said.
Because the disgusting feeling couldn’t be suppressed, Su Ruoqing covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom, unable to stop retching to the toilet.
As her stomach had long been empty, even with no bitter water, she just constantly retched against the toilet in pain.
A maid who stood next to her brought her a cup of hot water. After taking a few sips, Su Ruoqing finally felt better.
Since she vomited like this at the dinner table, the man would definitely feel sick, and even resent her…
However, at the thought that she might be disliked, she felt joyful.
She only hoped that the man could lose his interest in her and killl her to end her pain.
Su Ruoqing recovered and walked out after drinking a lot of water.
The living room was empty, and Leng Yuhe was nowhere to be seen.
Looking around in confusion, she asked a servant, “Where’s Young Master?”
The servant replied respectfully, “Young Master went out because he has something important to attend to…”
Su Ruoqing was relieved in an instant.
Her expression immediately relaxed and she looked at the servant. “Then please help me clean a guest room. I want to have a rest.”
“A guest room?” The servant was stunned. Wouldn’t this woman sleep with Young Master?
Su Ruoqing didn’t explain, only saying, “Thank you.”
“I’ll go clean up for you.” Chun Xiu offered with a smile. “After all, you are Young Master’s guest and we are merely servants. It’s our duty to take good care of you.”
