Although He Nianchu still had a smile on his face, he was "menacing". Xia An 'an felt like a husband cheating on his mistress and was found out by his wife.
She quickly distanced herself from Si Lijue. Si Lijue saw her actions and noticed her nervous expression. He couldn't help but frown.
"Ah Jue, An 'an, why aren't you asleep yet?"
He Nianchu asked curiously. His gaze kept darting between Xia An 'an and Si Lijue, as if he wanted to see through them.
Xia An laughed dryly, "I was a little bored, so I came out to get some fresh air."
He Nianchu looked at Si Lijue, waiting for his answer.
"Aren't you awake too?"
Si Lijue asked He Nianchu directly.
He Nianchu laughed dryly, "Actually, I'm bored too. We're really fated to bump into each other, haha."
Si Lijue didn't reply and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Xia An 'an could only agree, "Yeah, we're really fated today. Erm, I'm a little tired now, so I'll go back first."
With that, he quickly left, not wanting to disturb the two of them.
Si Lijue's gaze lingered on Xia Anan's departing figure for a long time. He Nianchu looked at him with jealousy. He didn't feel good. She had already left. How long was he going to stare?
The night wind was cold. When He Nianchu heard that Si Lijue and Xia An 'an were in the garden, he rushed over. He didn't even put on an extra layer of clothing. When the wind blew, he shivered from the cold. Coincidentally, he saw Si Lijue's shawl. It was obviously a woman's item, and it was very cheap.
A street vendor's item.
He could tell who this shawl belonged to even with his eyes closed.
Seeing Si Lijue clutching the shawl so tightly, He Nianchu was very unhappy. Why did he have to grab that woman's item so seriously?
He must throw this shawl away!
He Nianchu deliberately crossed his arms and said, "It's so cold."
Si Lijue turned to look at him. He Nianchu said, "I didn't expect it to be so cold tonight. I feel like my whole body is freezing."
Si Lijue replied, "It is quite cold."
He said that, but he had no intention of giving the shawl to He Nianchu.
He Nianchu could only say, "Eh, Ah Jue, why are you wearing a shawl?"
At this point, she had made her point clear enough. Any gentleman would know to give a shawl to a woman. However, Si Lijue was clearly not a gentleman. He said mildly, "Yes, Xia An 'an gave it to me."
After that, there was no follow-up. It seemed like he didn't want to give it to He Nianchu.
Ever since He Nianchu was accepted into Family He, she had been living a life of luxury. Everyone treated her well. She got whatever she wanted. This also developed her strong and arrogant personality. As long as she wanted something, she must get it!
The more Si Lijue was unwilling to give her the shawl, the more she wanted to get her hands on it!
Seeing that Si Lijue wasn't taking the initiative, she had no choice but to take the initiative. He Nianchu said, "Ah Jue, look at your shawl. It's quite pretty. Can I see it?"
Si Lijue glanced at her and said, "It's just cheap stuff from a street stall. It's not good enough for you."
He Nianchu smiled and said, "What's there to be proud of? Isn't the purpose of the shawl to keep out the cold? "
He Nianchu was very stubborn about the shawl.
However, Si Lijue refused to budge and refused to budge.
He looked at He Nianchu for a moment and said, "Forget it. It's not good enough for you. If you want it, I'll buy you a better one."
When He Nianchu heard Si Lijue's words, she felt even worse.
Did he value that woman's stuff so much?
He Nianchu didn't give up. She wanted to continue arguing with Si Lijue. Unfortunately, Si Lijue was no longer in the mood to fight. He spoke before Xia An 'an and said, "It's late. I still have work tomorrow. I'll go back to sleep first. You should go back early too. Don't catch a cold."
After speaking, he turned and left, not giving He Nianchu a chance to speak.
He Nianchu stood on the spot, trembling with anger.
The next day, He Nianchu caught a cold.
Xia An 'an looked at He Nianchu's red face and said, "It was very windy last night. You didn't wear much. You must have caught a cold. Why were you so careless?"
He Nianchu was full of resentment towards Xia An 'an. She didn't even want to look at him, let alone respond. Since she was sick, she turned around and ignored Xia An' an.
"Xia An 'an, go make some ginger soup for Miss He."
The maid who was close to He Nianchu said to Xia Anan in a commanding tone.
Xia An 'an's hand was still hurting, but making ginger soup wasn't hard work, so he agreed.
She was busy in the kitchen when Si Lijue came back.
He saw Xia An 'an pacing around the kitchen and frowned. "Xia An' an!"
"Hey!"
Xia An 'an turned around and saw it was Si Lijue.
"Sir?"
Si Lijue walked over angrily. "What are you doing?"
Xia An 'an held a kitchen knife. She blinked and said, "Miss He has a cold. I'm making some ginger soup for her."
"Your hand is injured. Don't you know how to get someone else to do it?"
Si Lijue's tone was very unhappy.
Xia An 'an felt that Si Lijue was making a fuss over nothing. She smiled and said, "It's not that painful. I can still do such a small thing."
Si Lijue narrowed his eyes and pressed on Xia An 'an's injured arm. Xia An' an was in so much pain that her face turned green.
"It hurts!"
She couldn't help but cry out.
Si Lijue saw her pale face and said angrily, "You call this fine?"
Xia An 'an was speechless.
"It doesn't hurt if you don't touch it …"
"Hurry up and go back to rest!"
Si Lijue scolded.
Xia An 'an hesitated. "But, what about the ginger soup?"
"Is there a shortage of people in the villa? Do you have to make the ginger soup? Xia An 'an, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? "
Xia An 'an heard Si Lijue's sarcasm and felt uncomfortable. I'm still working for your woman. What kind of attitude is this?
She was also unhappy. She put down the kitchen knife and said, "Then I'll go back first!"
She walked out of the kitchen gloomily.
Just as she was about to go back to the house, she bumped into the maid. The maid saw her and asked, "Is the ginger soup ready?"
"Uh … not yet …"
Xia An 'an said slowly.
The maid was furious. "Then why are you loitering around here? Miss He has already caught a cold. Now you're not even making the ginger soup. What kind of evil thoughts are you harboring? "
Xia An 'an laughed when she heard this.
"Hao Youyou, you're pushing the blame to me. I'm too innocent. What does Miss He catching a cold have to do with me? She caught a cold in the courtyard last night because she didn't put on any clothes. As for the ginger soup, Sir told me not to make it. If you have a problem with it, you can talk to him. "
Hao Youyou didn't expect Xia An 'an to talk back. She was even angrier. "You shameless woman. Don't use Sir as a shield! Hurry up and make the ginger soup for Miss He! "
Xia An 'an didn't want to bother with Hao Youyou. Just as she was about to walk past her, Hao Youyou grabbed her arm and said angrily, "Do you not understand human language?"
Hao Youyou grabbed Xia An 'an's injured arm. She frowned in pain and said, "Let go!"
"I won't let go!"
Hao Youyou grabbed Xia An 'an's injured arm on purpose. She wanted this woman to die from the pain.
"Let go!"
The more pain Xia An 'an was in, the more pleased Hao Youyou was. She said, "I won't let go!"
