Something s Wrong With My Wife

Chapter 32

Xiao Die did not dare to repeat those words to Zhu’er.

The sky had just turned dark when Zhu’er came looking for him in a feisty and aggressive manner.

Luo Qingzhou was reading a book by the window.

Xiao Die was in the room, embroidering.

The moment Zhu’er entered the courtyard, she shouted loudly, “Xiao Die, what did your Young Master say? Second Young Miss is already all prepared to head out.”

When she was in the courtyard, Zhu’er could see Luo Qingzhou sitting in front of the window, but she deliberately turned her face away and ignored him. She only spoke to Xiao Die.

Xiao Die had no choice but to come out of the room. She said awkwardly, “Zhu’er, my Young Master… he doesn’t have time, he has to study.”

Hearing this, there was a sullen look on Zhu’er’s face. She glanced at the guy sitting in front of the window and said angrily, “You can study anytime! If you stay in the house, studying every day, sooner or later you’ll become stupid. Second Young Miss has never taken the initiative to invite anyone. I hope that someone won’t fail to appreciate her kindness!”

Xiao Die looked at a certain someone and did not dare to make a sound.

Luo Qingzhou could only put down his book. He looked at the little girl in the small courtyard. “I’ve already told Second Young Miss last time that I’m seasick, so I can’t go to the lake. Miss Zhu’er, please tell Second Young Miss on my behalf.”

Zhu’er snorted. “You can tell her that yourself!”

She immediately turned around and stomped outside, fuming, “I’ll look for First Young Miss!”

With that, she left the house and went to look for Qin Jianjia angrily.

Xiao Die walked to the window with a worried expression and said, “Young Master, why won’t you go? Everyone says that Second Young Miss is a very nice person. Why do you always reject her invitations? If First Young Miss finds out, she will be angry.”

Luo Qingzhou flipped through the book and said, “How can First Young Miss be angry over such a small matter? Second Young Miss only mentioned this in passing. She won’t care if I go or not. That girl is simply making a mountain out of a molehill. Ignore her.”

Xiao Die sighed and said, “I’m just afraid that everyone will speak ill of you behind your back.”

Luo Qingzhou said, “I’ll say this one more time. Let others say whatever they want. I won’t lose anything.”

Xiao Die asked curiously. “Then what is the real reason behind you not wanting to go? You don’t get seasick.”

Luo Qingzhou raised the book in his hand and said, “I want to read.”

Seeing that he really did not want to go, Xiao Die could only give up. “All right, Young Master, you can continue reading. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

She returned to her room and continued embroidering.

After a while, Bai Ling’s voice suddenly came from outside. “Is Sir home?”

Luo Qingzhou answered without looking up, “No.”

Xiao Die quickly ran out of the house and said, “Yes, Young Master is here, Bai Ling.”

She thought,

“Young Master is so silly. If he wanted to pretend that he isn’t home, he shouldn’t have answered. He’s so silly. Indeed, he shouldn’t stay in the house and study all day.

Bai Ling chuckled and walked in. She was wearing a pink dress.

“Sir, are you still angry with me?”

She came to the window and asked with a smile.

Luo Qingzhou looked up at her strangely. “Why should I be angry with you?”

Bai Ling smiled. “Because I didn’t agree when you said you wanted me to be your concubine-maidservant. Aren’t you angry, Sir?”

Xiao Die’s eyes widened.

Luo Qingzhou did not continue this topic. “Miss Bai Ling, what brings you here tonight? Is something the matter?”

Bai Ling raised her eyebrows. “Yes, of course. Zhu’er went to Young Miss and complained that you don’t know how to appreciate others’ kindness and was disrespectful to Second Young Miss. She asked Young Miss to punish Sir.”

Luo Qingzhou asked, “And then?”

Bai Ling shrugged and said, “Then I came over. My Young Miss doesn’t care about such things.”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything and waited for her to continue speaking.

Bai Ling added, “I’m here to persuade you, Sir. It’s rare for Second Young Miss to come out, and she likes poetry, so I invited you. I hope you can accompany Second Young Miss.”

Luo Qingzhou waved the book in his hand. “I want to read. Also, I’m seasick.”

Bai Ling snorted. “I knew you’d say that. That’s why when I came, I borrowed something from Young Miss. After you take a look at it, you’ll definitely agree to go.”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and flipped through his book. “I’m sorry. Even if First Young Miss comes, I won’t go if I don’t want to.”

Bai Ling had a sly look in her eyes. She turned around and shouted at the door. “Chanchan, did you hear what Sir just said?”

A cold figure holding a sword suddenly stepped out of the shadows. She had been standing at the door all this while.

The clear moonlight fell full upon the figure in a light green dress. Her face was beautiful but cold as ice. The moon bathed her in ethereal luster, making her seem like the fairy of the moon palace

.

The beautiful woman stood in the small courtyard. She directed her cold and sharp gaze at Luo Qingzhou.

It was suddenly very quiet.

Luo Qingzhou felt the temperature in the room abruptly drop.

Only the gentle moonlight shone in, but strangely, he felt his neck itch.

Bai Ling smiled at him and said, “Sir, I didn’t hear what you said just now. Can you repeat it?”

Luo Qingzhou ignored her. He stood up, put the book away, and walked out of the house.

Xiao Die, who was at the door, was puzzled and asked, “Young Master, where… where are you going?”

Luo Qingzhou stopped in the small courtyard and looked up at the full moon in the sky. “The moon is beautiful tonight. No wonder Second Young Miss wants to go to the Moon Gazing Pavilion. I’ll go take a look too.”

Xiao Die was at a loss for words.

Bai Ling smiled brightly. “You aren’t going to read anymore?”

Luo Qingzhou looked at the moon and continued to ignore her.

Bai Ling smiled again. “Sir, you aren’t seasick anymore?”

Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze from the sky and looked at her. “I get seasick occasionally, but I think I won’t get seasick tonight.”

“Why?”

Bai Ling asked curiously.

Luo Qingzhou’s eyes flickered. He stared into her eyes and said, “Because, with a certain lady around, my gaze and heart will be deeply drawn to her. I’ll get dizzy from her presence, so I naturally won’t get seasick.”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face faded. She was in a slight daze by such romantic words. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Luo Qingzhou say, “Miss Xia Chan, I am sorry, it is not that I do not want to look at you, but you are too beautiful. You are even more beautiful than the moonlight. I’ll get dizzy with your beauty, so I do not dare to look at you.”

Bai Ling stared at him speechlessly.

Xia Chan was also speechless.

The air suddenly became very quiet again.

Xiao Die was standing at the door, and her mouth opened slightly in shock.

Young Master is really bold…

Since when did he learn to say such romantic words?

Although it was flattery, Luo Qingzhou was so good at it. Which girl could withstand such sweet words?

“Hmph!”

In the small courtyard, the cold figure grabbed the sword tightly in her hand under the moonlight. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.

Luo Qingzhou stared into her cold eyes.

This time, he finally got something back.

He heard what Xia Chan was thinking.

But it was useless.

“Is this guy flirting with me? He’s courting death!”

Just this one sentence.

Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked at Bai Ling. She had a shocked expression, and her mouth twitched.

Luo Qingzhou could not believe that he could hear her thoughts too.

“I really want to pounce on him and bite him to death. What a scoundrel!”

Although this sentence was pretty much useless to Luo Qingzhou, it at least proved that he could hear the thoughts of these two beautiful girls.

Therefore, the risk he took earlier was worth it.

Of course, it was mainly because he was sure that Xia Chan would not kill him over a few words. Hence, he dared take this risk.

At this dangerous moment, Zhu’er’s voice suddenly came from outside. “Bai Ling, are you here? Second Young Miss has already gone out. There’s also Miss Meng from the City Lord Manor.”

City Lord Manor?

Miss Meng?

Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat.

Luo Qingzhou recalled hearing Luo Yu’s thoughts when the latter had called him over for a chat before the wedding.

“Unfortunately, Father and Mother have given up on him and want him to marry that fool. That’s it for him, I guess. Otherwise, I can train him and then hand him to Young Master Meng as a gift. I heard that Young Master Meng of the City Lord Manor loves such good-looking scholars the most…”

City Lord Manor, Young Master Meng, Miss Meng…

Young Master Meng and Miss Meng should be somehow related.

Luo Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and decided to meet them.
