Chapter Ninety-Eight: Steward Xu
After Anthony's lesson just now, Xu Shuo has already reflected on it, and his disregard for the eyes of the people around him must have caused trouble for Lilian. Looking at Lilien, who was walking in front, he opened his mouth several times, but swallowed the words that came to his lips again.
He knew he should apologize, but the silence was so oppressive that he wasn't sure he could articulate what he wanted to say. It's easy to apologize on the spot, but it's hard to talk about it after the fact.
Of course, on the other hand, it was also because there was a voice in his heart telling him to let time solve the problem, so that he could save a lot of embarrassment.
But it's irresponsible to pretend that nothing has happened, and it's shameful to try to let time dilute your mistakes.
Xu Shuo sighed silently, he patted his face with both hands, and after making up his mind, he stopped, intending to stop Lilian in front of him.
But at this moment, Lilian also happened to turn around.
"The ......"
"Mr. Xu Shuo."
Both of them were stunned.
Xu Shuo reacted first, so he took the lead and said, "I'm sorry! I was too egoistic before, I didn't think about your feelings at all, and I apologize for causing you trouble. ”
"No, I'm the ......" Lilian shook her head and said, "I obviously didn't really plan to treat Mr. Xu Shuo as a housekeeper, but just now I asked you to wait for me at the door, and I put up a fight, sorry ......"
"No, no, no, just treat me like a real housekeeper, and I bothered you first, that's why you're angry, and it's all my fault for messing around like this in the first place!" Xu Shuo said.
"No, although I don't quite understand, but Mr. Xu Shuo did that for me, right? So there is no need for Mr. Xu Shuo to ......"
"Anyway, that's not appropriate, it doesn't take into account Lilian's ......"
"But I shouldn't ...... either"
"It's all because I ......"
Xu Shuo said, Lilian said, Xu Shuo said again, Lilian said again......
The two of them invariably expressed their apologies, apologized for hurting each other, and wanted to take all the blame on themselves. At the back, the two of them were talking as if they were arguing, and they couldn't even hear each other's words because their voices overlapped.
In the end, I don't know who started first, but the two laughed together as they talked.
"Mr. Xu Shuo, this is endless." Liliam couldn't even speak well with a smile.
"Yes." Xu Shuo smiled, "Then it's my fault, let's end it." ”
"No way!" Lilian coughed lightly twice, and stretched out her hand to Xu Shuo with a smile on her face, "It's our fault to take a step back." ”
"Is this some kind of business competition?" Xu Shuo joked as he shook Lilian's hand, "Okay, deal." ”
Although it was not the first time, but at the moment of touching, Xu Shuo still couldn't help but think that this was really a warm and soft hand, reminiscent of something as beautiful as a flower.
"Mr. Xu Shuo, although I think this matter has passed, I still have some questions for you." Lilian looked into Xu Shuo's eyes and said, "Before that, can you please tell me, why do you want to say that there are people in the manor who want to be unfavorable to me?" ”
"Well." Xu Shuo looked left and right, although there was no one, he was still a little uneasy, "I know, I'll explain, let's go back to your room." ”
"Okay."
After that, the two returned to Lilian's room, and Xu Shuo told Lilian all the reasons for his suspicions and worries.
"That's the case...... Lilian nodded, "But when did Mr. Xu Shuo meet those masked men?" I'm with you, but I haven't seen you at all. ”
"Is it ......" To be honest, Xu Shuo didn't see those guys either, he knew the news through Angina, but he couldn't just tell Lilian, it sounded too ridiculous, so he made up a lie, "When you were on the fourth layer, didn't you faint because you awakened the dragon bloodline?" It was at that time that I happened to see those guys coming menacingly, so I took you into the main room of the floor, and it seemed that only one group of challengers could enter at a time, so I blocked them out. ”
"Then why didn't you tell me after that?" Lilian asked.
"At that time, you seemed uneasy, and I didn't want you to worry too much, so I didn't tell you right away." Xu Shuo turned his gaze to the side, for fear that Lilian would find out that he was lying.
Lilian nodded thoughtfully, and Xu Shuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her appearance.
However, in the next second, Lilian raised her head again, looked at Xu Shuo and said, "I feel that Mr. Xu Shuo still has a lot of things to hide from me." ”
"Huh?!" The corners of Xu Shuo's mouth twitched.
"But, I see, Mr. Xu Shuo will suddenly say that he wants to be my housekeeper, and the words just said in the restaurant, these things that Mr. Xu Shuo did...... It's all for me. Lilian said, a look of loss appeared on her face, "I'm really useless, I used to rely on my father for everything, and now I let Mr. Xu Shuo worry about me." ”
"Really? I think Liliam is a lot stronger than I am. Xu Shuo looked out the window at the non-stop rain and said: "I am 22 years old this year, it stands to reason that I should be a serious adult, but I am still reckless, you are 6 years younger than me, but I am much more stable, you will definitely become a great person in the future, social elite and the like." ”
Liliam sighed and collapsed on the bed as if exhausted, pulling the covers over her face.
"Don't talk about the future, I can't even figure out what is going on now. Mr. Bron's business, uncle's business, and the dragon scales that I don't know when they will appear......" The more Lilian spoke, the more she became more and more powerless, she seemed to be really confused, and her voice came muffled through the quilt, "When I lie down at night and wake up in the morning, I will think of these things, but there is no solution, I am so tired." ”
“…… Listening to you, I feel so tired, too. ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Xu Shuo feels tired, what should I do?"
Lilian removed the quilt and sat up from the bed, combing her somewhat messy hair with her hands.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu Shuo, after telling you this, thank you for feeling much better."
"You're welcome, it's my honor to serve the eldest lady." Xu Shuo raised his throat and bowed like Anthony.
"That's really good, Steward Xu." Lilien smiled, "Please ask Butler Xu to help me in the future!" ”
"Yes! Go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire! ”
"Okay, okay, Mr. Xu Shuo is still the best as before."
