1680 Qing’s Weird Reaction 1
Xiu Jie was very happy about Qing coming to the clinic and working with him, but he had not expected that Qing would change a great deal after such a short while.
When Qing spent time with him previously, she always wore a smile and no matter what she was dealing with, she would always be passionate and earnest. She always called him Brother Xiu Jie, and she always talked about Elder Miss all the time, telling him some daily affairs involving her.
Xiu Jie felt that Qing like this was so beautiful and nice, but these last two days, Xiu Jie found that Qing was always weird-looking, and she no longer had a smile on her face. Xiu Jie had suspected that it was because they spent too much time together, so she did not smile as brightly as before, but when he talked to her, she seemed very distracted as well.
He felt that something was wrong with her, but he also hesitated if he should tell this to Elder Miss. However, before he could make a decision, something happened to Qing.
Although she was back safe and sound, Xiu Jie still wasn’t convinced.
He felt that something had happened to Qing.
So while she was here, with Elder Miss present, he, as either Elder Miss’ servant or Qing’s so-called brother, believed that he should ask her what was going on.
Gu Chaoyan quieted down upon hearing Xiu Jie’s question.
Qing’s distracted eyes dodged all of them, as she staggered, wondering what to say and how to say it.
After a long while, Qing said, “I was just… out taking a stroll, I forgot to tell you about this. I am sorry to have worried you. I won’t do it again.”
“…”
“Please, Elder Miss,” Qing said to Gu Chaoyan, sounding guilty after she said that to Xiu Jie.
Hearing Qing’s words, Gu Chaoyan felt her heart sinking.
Qing might be her maid, but she treated her as her sister. Qing never estranged herself from her, but now, Qing seemed to have estranged herself from her, for some reason.
Gu Chaoyan thought that maybe she was busy with too many affairs and suddenly became like this.
Gu Chaoyan turned to Xiu Jie and then to Qing, saying, “You must be very tired to have walked for so long, Qing, go back and take a rest.”
“…”
“Many things are happening in the capital, Qing. If you want to take a walk outside, tell Xiu Jie so that he could keep you company. Or I can arrange someone else to keep you company.” Gu Chaoyan stressed.
Qing didn’t feel that was a good idea, but she still answered. “Okay…”
Gu Chaoyan then asked Qing to take a break.
She was trying to convince herself that Qing must have forgotten to tell the others about her walk outside, but she could not feel convinced.
Something must have happened to Qing.
What made her like this?
She sat down, looking distracted.
Ziu Jie stood anxiously next to her, asking, “Elder Miss, did I make too big of a deal about what happened to Qing?”
Gu Chaoyan stopped thinking and shook her head at Xiu Jie. “No, you didn’t.”
“…”
“You did it just right!”
“…”
“Why?”
