In the backyard of Cao's mansion, there was a burst of water and the sound of wooden mallets hitting.

Luo Tanhua walked in from outside the door and said hello from a distance: "Where are the two girls washing clothes?" ”

Ju Xiang's eyes flashed with a little star, and she quickly stood up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo is here, do you want me to make you a pot of tea?" ”

Luo Tanhua shook his head with a smile: "Miss Juxiang has something to do, don't dare to bother!" Luo just came to see Xiao Xiaoniang. With that, as soon as he turned around, he walked into the room where Xiao Ruixue was.

"Oh." Ju Xiang sat down in disbelief, poked her head into the wooden basin in front of her, the calm water reflected her delicate face, she reached out and touched her face, and said to the shadow with self-pity: "My Ju Xiang is not ugly, why doesn't Mr. Luo look at me more?" ”

Lian'er shook her head lightly and said, "Silly girl, you and I are just maids, and some things are not good for us." ”

Ju Xiang shrugged her nose, looking a little sad, she pursed her lips and said: "Sister, I didn't say it, I only blame you and I for not being a beauty like Sister Ruixue, otherwise even if it is a maid, what's the harm in wishful thinking?" ”

Lian'er continued to shake her head, and couldn't help but glance into the room, a slightly wry smile on her face.

In Cao's study, Lian'er stood respectfully in front of Cao Ming, bowing her head humbly, only inadvertently looking at Cao Ming with a trace of fleeting tenderness in her eyes.

Cao Ming sat behind the bookcase, his voice a little cold: "Mr. Luo has often gone to Xiao Xiaoniang's place these days, right?" ”

Lian'er lowered her head: "Yes, Childe." ”

"So what is he doing? In addition to healing! ”

"Most of the time, he plays chess with Rui Xue-Xiao Xiaoniang, and sometimes talks about some anecdotes he encounters during his travels, so as to relieve Xiao Xiaoniang's boredom."

"Hmph, it's very leisurely and elegant! The main reason I invited this person here was to remove the imprint on Brother Quan's face, but this person is good, but he doesn't distinguish between priority and priority! Cao Ming's brows jumped, and his words revealed his extreme dissatisfaction with Luo Tanhua, but he didn't know that he was a little different from himself in the eyes of Lian'er today, because no matter what emotions he had in the past, he would never show it at will in front of a subordinate like Lian'er, and even if he did, it would be fleeting, and he would never be completely unconcealed like today.

Lian'er, who lowered her head, had a somewhat complicated expression, not knowing whether she was sad or happy.

Cao Ming finally regained his former coldness and said, "Lian'er, you can step down." ”

"Yes."

"After you go back, you continue to observe Luo Tanhua's actions, and in addition, you have to observe Xiao Xiaoniang's condition, if she is okay, you must report to me in time."

"Yes, Childe."

When Lian'er came out of the study, Cao Ming couldn't help but say to herself: "Once her body recovers, it will be time for me to send you off!" Suddenly, Cao Ming seemed to have noticed something, and his brows furrowed tightly.

In the room, when Xiao Ruixue saw Luo Tanhua walking in, she propped herself up and gently got up from the bed, leaning on the head of the bed and showing a friendly smile to Luo Tanhua.

Luo Tanhua's gaze swept over her face slightly, hiding a bright color under her eyes, and smiling very warmly: "Xiao Xiaoniang, your complexion today is very good, how do you feel?" ”

"I feel like I'm almost fine, thanks to Mr. Luo's careful healing!"

"Xiao Xiaoniang's health is gratifying, but such politeness is really outstanding! As a doctor, it is natural for Luo to do this. ”

Xiao Ruixue nodded, and suddenly she smiled and said, "Mr. came here this time, but do you want to play chess with me?" ”

Luo Tanhua heard a hint of narrowness in Xiao Ruixue's tone, and said, "What, isn't Xiao Niang tired of playing chess?" ”

Xiao Ruixue shook her head and smiled, a row of white crescents appeared on her slightly ruddy face, coupled with a trace of residual delicate and sick appearance, she looked amazing, which made Luo Tanhua's gaze hot.

Xiao Ruixue said: "Mr.'s chess skills are extremely superb in my opinion, and I have benefited a lot, so why not get tired of it?" It's just that whenever it comes to the key moment, I always feel that my husband is deliberately handing it down, which is really hard to enjoy. ”

Luo Tanhua was shocked, he thought that his handicap was very hidden, but he didn't expect that Xiao Ruixue had already seen through it, so his sophisticated means of pleasing women seemed a little clumsy. It's just that the prodigal son in love is a prodigal son in love after all, no matter how surprised Luo Tanhua was in his heart, he could not change his face, and only listened to him: "Luo Mou didn't deliberately let go, but he didn't think about it, so he made some wrong moves." Hey, it's just that I shouldn't treat Xiao Xiaoniang as an ordinary woman, Xiao Xiaoniang's intelligence is actually better than thousands of men in the world, how can chess skills be inferior to me? This is my fault for underestimating the enemy, so please Xiao Xiaoniang accept my worship! With that, Luo Tanhua raised his hands and bowed heavily to Xiao Ruixue.

Xiao Ruixue looked at Luo Tanhua with wide eyes, feeling a little numb in her scalp, and finally, she couldn't help coughing twice in embarrassment.

"Xiao Xiaoniang, isn't she infected with the wind cold?" Luo Tanhua asked with great concern.

"N-no." Xiao Ruixue didn't know how to answer, but Luo Tanhua had reached out to hold her wrist and pulsed her, and after confirming that she was okay, a hint of relief appeared on her face.

Xiao Ruixue retracted her hand slightly unnaturally, Luo Tanhua had been treating her for several days, and at first she didn't have any idea of male and female defense, only deeply grateful to Luo Tanhua. However, in the past few days, Luo Tanhua's care for Xiao Ruixue has been a bit excessive, and it is not enough to describe it with meticulousness, and he also makes some intimate actions from time to time, which makes Xiao Ruixue even careless, she can gradually feel an inexplicable ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.

Xiao Ruixue was resistant and fearful in her heart, but she couldn't say no directly, not because Xiao Ruixue became weak as a woman, but because she didn't know where to refuse. First, Luo Tanhua is kind to himself, Xiao Ruixue can't even repay him, and secondly, Luo Tanhua is a humble gentleman, yes, a humble gentleman, because his every move is reasonable, and he is very measured, one more point is light, and one less point is ambiguous. Therefore, Xiao Ruixue was even more distressed, she could only carefully try to avoid the gentle blade that Luo Tanhua accidentally swung out that seemed to be an unintentional move.

However, being alone in a room with a man and a woman always makes people think about it, so Xiao Ruixue had no choice but to speak again: "Mr. Luo, my body is almost fine, I want to get out of bed and go out for a walk, so that I can move my muscles and bones, do you think it's okay?" ”

Luo Tanhua smiled slightly after hearing this: "Of course you can, you have just recovered from your injury, and these are very beneficial to your recovery." In this case, I will accompany you to take a walk in the back garden of Cao's mansion! ”
