Chapter 41: I want to go back to the house
Approaching the end of the year, there are more and more times when Xia Yeqing goes to the customs, and the affairs of the Xia family are getting busier and busier.
That afternoon, Xia Ye went home early in the morning, took care of Su Lianyi, and took care of things at home for her, so that she could be more relaxed.
Chun Tao went to the old lady's yard to help, and Su Lianyi didn't have a suitable person around her for a while, so she called Song Lingyue up, and Song Lingyue took the boiled medicine bowl and entered Su Lianyi's bedroom.
Su Lianyi was wearing a light pink cashmere top with lace trims, her hair was permed and wavy and tied loosely behind her head, her side face was gentle and sweet, leaning on the soft pillow at the head of the bed, and she was drinking water from her hands on a summer night.
Xia Yeqing sat on the edge of the bed, feeding her a spoonful by spoonful, her expression was very gentle, feeding a few spoonfuls, she picked up the handkerchief on the side, wiped the corners of her mouth very intimately, the two looked at each other and smiled, very warm and harmonious.
Song Lingyue didn't expect that the always cold Xia Yeqing would have such an intimate and delicate side, such a summer night Qing has a unique charm.
She was embarrassed to go in, pursed her lips, stood at the door of the outer room and knocked on the door, and said in a low voice: "Chief Chief, Mrs. Xia, the medicine is ready." ”
Su Lianyi listened to the voice that was not Chun Tao, glanced at Xia Yeqing, Xia Yeqing sat up straight, and said to the outside: "Come in!" ”
Song Lingyue answered, walked in with the medicine bowl, Xia Yeqing put the water cup on the bedside table, got up and took the medicine bowl in his hand, and didn't say let Song Lingyue go down, blow the medicine cool, sit down and continue to feed Su Lianyi.
Song Lingyue didn't want to walk away alone, and stood aside with her head down, waiting for Xia Yeqing's orders.
Su Lianyi drank a small half bowl of medicine, slowed down, turned her head and glanced at Song Lingyue, and a smile spread out on her sickly face, "Xiaoyue, right?" You've taken care of me. ”
Song Lingyue raised her head and hurriedly waved her hand, "You don't have to be polite, madam, the chief is kind to me, and I work here again, so I should take care of you." ”
Su Lianyi's eyebrows are delicate, her temperament is dignified and noble, Song Lingyue met her gaze, and suddenly felt half a head shorter, and she didn't know where to put her eyes, but Xia Yeqing looked at her again, her dark eyes were bright and sharp, Song Lingyue's heart trembled, and she subconsciously took a step back, avoiding his gaze, and her heartbeat was inexplicably faster.
Song Lingyue stayed here, Su Lianyi also felt awkward, and just wanted to say that she should quit first, Xia Yeqing spoke, "You go downstairs to the study and wait for me, I have something to tell you." ”
Song Lingyue was stunned for a while before she realized that she was talking to her, nodded, and walked out of the room with the empty bowl after drinking the medicine.
Su Lianyi waited for Song Lingyue to leave, reached out and wiped the moist corners of her lips, and looked at Xia Yeqing with an inquiring gaze, "Brother Qing, what are you looking for Xiaoyue?" ”
Xia Yeqing stroked her little face with her big hand, and said with a gentle smile: "It has something to do with her family, I asked her a few words." ”
Su Lianyi knew that Song Lingyue's life experience was not simple, so she nodded in disbelief, "Then you go!" I'll wait for you to dinner. ”
"Okay, you're good!" Summer Night Qing hooked her nose lovingly, got up and left the bedroom.
Song Lingyue stood at the door of the study, anxiously waiting for Xia Yeqing, not knowing what he was going to ask, since the last time, every time she saw him, Song Lingyue felt very uncomfortable, Xia Yeqing was so good, so handsome and chic, she always felt ashamed of herself in front of him, and always wanted to avoid him.
Footsteps sounded outside the study, Song Lingyue shrank behind the door, Xia Yeqing walked in, seeing her cowering, she didn't dare to look at him, she felt funny, deliberately pushed her in, and closed the door of the study with her backhand.
"Why are you so nervous, I won't eat you again!" Xia Yeqing said funny, walked around to the desk, sat on the chair, took out a cigarette, and raised it at Song Lingyue, "You have no problem with me smoking, right?" ”
Song Lingyue shook her head, "Chief Chief, please speak, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
Xia Ye took a puff of cigarette, leaned back on the chair, spit out a smoke ring, in the smoke, squinted at her, "I took back your factory and house, I mean, it's not suitable to be vacant, and you won't live in peace if you go back, so I want to sell it for you and let you keep a sum of money." ”
Song Lingyue was a little surprised, she didn't know why he ransomed the factory and the house back, and then thought about it, maybe it was the old lady's meaning, since he spent money to take it back, it was his, and naturally there was no reason for her to call the shots.
After thinking about it, he said: "The chief can do what he wants, I have no opinion." ”
Xia Yeqing saw that her face was very flat, and she wondered, "Don't you want to go back to the house?" ”
Song Lingyue smiled bitterly, what can she do if she wants to go back, if she wants money or not, as he said, even if she wants to come back, she may not have the ability to keep it, and in the end she doesn't know who it will fall into, so it's better to let him deal with it.
"Although that's where I grew up, I've been away for too long, and there's no one I care about anymore, so let's let someone who can afford it live! Song Mansion is indeed a good place. ”
Xia Yeqing looked at her in a daze, the cigarette in his hand burned out, he didn't notice it, he almost burned his fingers, he subconsciously shook his hand, the cigarette butt fell to the ground, suddenly remembered that there was a carpet on the ground, and suddenly jumped up from the chair.
Song Lingyue also reacted, and almost at the same time stretched out his feet with Xia Yeqing, and the two collided together, Xia Yeqing was tall, and he knocked Song Lingyue into a stumble at once, he reacted very quickly, grabbed Song Lingyue's waist with his big hand, and hooked her over.
Song Lingyue's head was against his chest, smelling the faint fragrance on his body, his face was suddenly red to the root of his ears, he stretched out his hand to push him away, and said hesitantly, "If the chief doesn't have any orders, I'll leave first." He left the study as if he had fled.
Xia Yeqing looked at her back in a hurry to escape, frowned, reached out and stroked her chin, and said in her heart: Am I so terrible?
After being stunned for a while, Xia Yeqing remembered that there was still something to do, and when Adjutant Zhang collected the house, he accidentally found Song Lingyue's watch, and originally wanted to return it to her, but she forgot about it.
Helplessly patted her forehead, turned around and took out a delicate women's watch from the cabinet, checked it in her hand, turned over the bracelet and took a look, the back of the dial was engraved with three small words "Song Lingyue", it seems that someone gave it to her, if you guess correctly, she is still a man.
Song Lingyue ran out, it would not be appropriate for him to go out to chase him, so he could only send her over later, put the watch in his clothes pocket, and left the study to the second floor.
Song Lingyue ran back to her room in one go, locked the door, leaned on the door panel, stroked her chest and gasped for breath, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and it took a while to calm down.
When she fell in love with Yan Yi before, she was always like this, blushing and her heart beating faster, but what she couldn't understand was that she and Xia Yeqing hadn't been together for a long time, and they hadn't had much intimate contact, so how could she feel this way about him! What's more, she is the eldest young master of the Xia family, the chief of customs, and she is not something that people like her can like.
However, but ......, Song Lingyue stomped her feet helplessly, she likes this kind of thing, it's really not something she can control, this cold person has gradually become cute and vivid in her heart, and she can't erase it.
Xia Ke had dinner, according to the old lady's instructions, went to the eldest lady's warm pavilion, instead of the old lady to visit her, this is the practice every few days, the old lady is not worried about the eldest lady, and it is inconvenient to see it in person, Xia Ke has always been safe, so let her replace.
The eldest lady had just taken medicine, and was coaxed to bed by the maid, holding a pillow and nesting in the quilt, chattering to herself.
Xia Ke accompanied her for a while, and the eldest lady ignored her, just muttering to herself, Xia Ke had nothing to do, and saw that her dresser was a little messy, so she got up and went over to clean up.
Things were cleaned up, Xia Ke found that there was a jewelry box missing from the top, and the jewelry inside was gone, and he felt strange in his heart, the eldest lady has always cherished those things, and they don't let people touch them on weekdays, how could they be gone?
After looking around the house, he didn't find a single one, Xia Ke suddenly realized something, if the eldest lady accidentally lost it, it was impossible to lose so much at once, unless someone took it away.
Xia Ke walked outside, called a servant over, and asked in a low voice, "Has anyone else been here these days?" ”
The maid thought for a moment and shook his head, "Except for you and the uncle, few people come over on weekdays. ”
Xia Ke sighed, it seemed that he couldn't ask, waved his hand, and signaled that the servant could go down.
The maid was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and stopped Xia Ke, and said as if recalling: "Miss, I remember, the Miss Song from the East Courtyard came before, saying that she was coaxing the eldest lady to take medicine and stayed in the eldest lady's room for a long time, what's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”
Xia Ke is a smart person, if something is lost in the house, no one can get rid of suspicion, before she catches the evidence, she can't startle the snake, smiled, and said in a flat tone: "It's nothing, the eldest lady muttered just now, so I asked, it's okay, you can go down." ”
After the servant left, Xia Ke didn't accompany the eldest lady anymore, put on a coat, and left the warm pavilion in a hurry, she had to go to the East Courtyard, such a thing, it was necessary to let Xia Yeqing know, if there was a thief in the house, it must be dealt with.
