Chapter 208: The Butler Returns

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xiao Ruo sat on the sofa, leaned forward, staring at Mr. Four, with a little expectation in her eyes that even she didn't notice.

It was not easy for her to react to what Mr. Four said, so she immediately dragged him to the study as quickly as possible, and then the "interrogation" began.

Mr. Four leaned on the back of the sofa and snorted, "In such a hurry, is your housekeeper so important to you?" ”

Xiao Ruo's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care at all about the sourness and ridiculous tone in his words. Mr. Four is this virtue, if she was angry, she would have been angry to death.

"He's important to me, you should know what he's done, right?" Xiao Ruo's body relaxed a little and said lightly. I don't know why, but after only saying two words, her mood calmed down, and it seems that this situation often occurs when she gets along with Mr. Four.

Mr. Four snorted lightly, "I know you still care about Mrs. Langton, but that's not why you value him. Don't deny that if you are different from him. Even if you didn't realize it before, but now, aren't you smart enough to realize it? ”

Xiao Ruo's pupils contracted suddenly, and he bit his lower lip unconsciously: "What if you realize it?" Feelings are not that simple thing. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't take the topic away! ”

"Ruoruo, this is not to take the conversation away. What the hell do you think? Can I know? This matter is important. Mr. Four's rare serious expression was fierce, and his dark dark pupils looked directly at Xiao Ruo, but it made her feel the urge to turn her head.

However, Xiao Ruo's state of mind is not covered, after all, she used to be an immortal monarch, and her cultivation is still a branch of the ruthless Dao, even if she has turned ruthless to affectionate now, it is still easy to pull out her mind from a relationship that is not profound.

took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, Xiao Ruo's voice also sounded: "Although I don't know how important this is, if you want to know what I think, then I will answer you." I can't erase the dedication he gave during those years around me, so I don't hate him now. Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

I don't hate, but I don't love. Xiao Ruo can't even say that she loves Li Muyun, let alone Anthony, who only has budding feelings for her.

For her such a solemn answer, Mr. Four laughed, which made Xiao Ruo couldn't help frowning. After a long time, he spoke when she couldn't help but want to get angry: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but he's dissatisfied." ”

He?

Xiao Ruo was shocked, and she saw that the space next to Mr. Four rippled as if it were on the surface of water. The next moment, she couldn't believe it to see the figure she was once extremely familiar with step forward. Although the time is very short, whether it is Xiao Ruo or this person, this step seems to be extremely slow.

A simple step, like stepping in through the door every time Anthony reported the news to Xiao Ruo. But now the two people, whether it is their identity or state of mind, are completely different.

At that time, they were young ladies and butlers.

Now they should be regarded as enemies to a large extent.

Although they had only been separated for a few months, it was like a lifetime away.

"Miss ......" With heavy steps, Anthony walked up to Xiao Ruo, who was sitting on the sofa, lowered his body, trembled his lips, and used all his strength to spit out two names that he thought could only be called in a dream.

Xiao Ruo, who was already a little disturbed, heard this title, and there was a bang in her head, and she couldn't hear anything, as if there was only this voice echoing in her head for a moment.

This "Miss" is different from the previous ones, although the voice is very small, but it is like a cry from the bottom of her heart, it resounded in Xiao Ruo's ears and extended to her heart, and her heartbeat seemed to have stagnated a little because of the feelings contained in the voice.

"Miss......" Anthony's mind was now blank, and it was completely with the belief in his heart that he wanted to see Xiao Ruo to support him to complete the action just now, but now he didn't know what to do at all, but unconsciously began to repeat the title in the depths of his heart, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. If he didn't do anything, he felt like he was going to break down.

He always thought that he was dead the moment he left Xiao Ruo. If it weren't for the support of this belief to help her clear the crisis, he felt that he would have lost his life long ago under the pull of a dead heart. But when he really heard her say that she didn't hate him anymore, his long-dead heart began to beat again, plopping and plopping, faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. It was as if he had been given a new lease of life, and he felt completely alive.

But when he really faced her, he found that he was not as bold as he imagined, he almost didn't dare to look up at her, but he was eager to see her, to see if the face engraved in the depths of his heart really didn't have the kind of hatred that made him feel painful.

For a long time, Anthony never worried about how to talk to Xiao Ruo, because he was confident that he knew him better than anyone else, even if it was Li Muyun, he was confident that he would not lose to him. But now, with all his might, he sadly found that he didn't know what to say, as if the voice of "Miss" had exhausted all the strength of his body.

Two people sat on one knee and one kneeled. One muttered to himself, the other looked hollow, and the air in the room seemed to be overwhelmed by the dullness and became depressed.

There's also a guy here who specializes in spoiling the atmosphere, though.

Two not-so-strong qi shot out of Mr. Four's fingers and hit the two of them. Xiao Ruo and Anthony were shocked at the same time and woke up.

"Okay, the acupuncture point is successful!" Mr. Four clapped his hands, stood up and said, "I won't bother your master and servant to catch up with the old days, you talk slowly, and I'll go and talk to Aunt Yang." ”

His words were not echoed by anyone.

Mr. Four touched his nose in disgust, sighed in his heart, and consciously exited the door, smiling self-deprecatingly with his back to the two.

Another rival in love.

Huh? Why do you say again?

Although the two people in the room didn't react much to Mr. Four's departure, it made the atmosphere in the room much better, at least the two of them could think normally.

“…… It's good to be back. Xiao Ruo didn't ask Alice about it. Anthony had always been one of the people she trusted the most, and even though they had only been together for less than a year when Alice had an accident, she didn't believe he would do anything like that.

If you think about it, he must have more struggles and pains in his heart than anyone else.

"Miss!" Anthony raised his head in disbelief, his emerald green eyes shining with a light that made people dare not look at it directly, like a new bud of a tree in spring, full of vitality.

Xiao Ruo chuckled: "Get up, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

This title surprised Anthony again, and he began to explain incoherently: "Miss...... I...... You might as well call me by my name. ”

"But I don't know your name." Xiao Ruo chuckled again, looking at him with pure black eyes, making Anthony seem to see the deepest night sky of a summer night for a moment, so beautiful, addictive, and revealing a trace of tolerance.

"My name is Anthony, and that's all I have." Under the gaze of the night's eyes, Anthony calmed down, and the smile on his lips made Xiao Ruodu couldn't help but be a little shaken.

This is her housekeeper, always an impeccable perfect smile. But I don't know when, even though it was the same smile, when facing her, it was always more and more intoxicating, but at that time, she never paid attention.

"Okay, Anthony." Xiao Ruo nodded, and it seemed that in an instant, the tacit understanding that was so familiar that it had become a habit returned to them again, and she just nodded, and he had already stood up and walked to the position where he fixed the news.

"Miss......"

Xiao Ruo waved his hand to stop his words, and directly ordered: "Go and inform the people in the main mansion, let them pack up our things, and we will go to the secret realm later." The rest, you know what to do. ”

"Yes, miss." Anthony replied as naturally as he had been a few months ago, and walked out the door.

As soon as he went out, Xiao Ruo leaned on the sofa weakly, was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed, the laughter became louder and louder, with a little relief, so that everyone who heard it couldn't help but be happy with her.

Just listening to Mr. Four's ears, it made his heart sour.

"You're so happy he's back?" Mr. Four, who entered the door again, snorted, "Do you want red apricots out of the wall?" Have you forgotten Li Muyun? ”

"I don't need you to take care of my business." Xiao Ruo glanced at him lightly, "Anyway, I am this kind of person in your eyes." ”

She still hasn't forgotten the last time Mr. Fourth suspected that she and Bai Ze were double cultivating to restore their skills, thinking that in the eyes of this person, she is the kind of person who will use everything for her own purposes, right? But he seems to have helped her recover from Anthony's departure...... As soon as this thought appeared, it was suppressed by Xiao Ruo. She was convinced that it was a delusion.

"That's not what I meant." Obviously, Mr. Four thought of going with her, and his face immediately became very depressed, and he hated it for thousands of years if he made a mistake. Xiao Ruo's impression of him has been extremely bad since that time, even if he can talk to him in a good voice now, it is because he is holding Li Muyun's shell, and he is afraid that he will hurt him.

"What you mean has nothing to do with me. But I still want to thank you this time, if it were me, I wouldn't have had the courage to go to Anthony. Speaking of Anthony, Xiao Ruo's tone slowed down a little, and his mood calmed down a lot.

Although she could feel that Anthony had not completely expelled the connection between the two of them because of the contract, she did not have the courage to go to him and ask Alice about the whole story.

Even now, she wouldn't ask.

She is not a fool, there have always been people who have been secretly helping her for so long, and she also knows a lot of news about the Yuan Shen Clan. Where the news came from, she could naturally guess.

It's just that now, she hasn't figured out exactly how to face him. Although she behaved very naturally just now, it was just a matter of habit, and she would have a headache in the future.
