“Young woman, don’t you think that you sound a little too cold-hearted?”

Li Junye got rather annoyed. Even though he was only the second son of the Li family, he was still in the spotlight. Everyone around him was always flattering him, and plenty of women tried all means and methods to get in his good books. This was the first time he had encountered such a heartless little lady!

“You’re right. I’m cold-hearted indeed. So please stay away from me!” Su Qianxun hung up angrily. She stared at the text messages on her phone screen as she placed her hand on her lower abdomen. It was still aching a little.

‘This is all Li Junye’s fault!’

Feeling upset, she lay back down. She was having an immense headache, and she really felt like eating a painkiller. But Long Sijue had already thrown all her painkillers away.

Su Qianxun had no choice but to lay on the bed and endure the pain. She had no doubt that if it were not for her younger brother, she would not be able to weather obstacle after obstacle like this.

Even though she was the one who had been taking care of her younger brother for the past two years, he was the one who gave her strength to stay alive. He was her largest emotional anchor, and the reason that she kept moving forward.

After Su Qianxun hung up, Li Junye gazed at his cell phone. Feeling upset, he lay back down on the hospital bed. For some reason, he felt agitated.

…..

Su Qianxun spent half the day dizzy and lying in bed. Huan Huan entered the room and asked her to go downstairs for dinner.

“I’m not hungry. Why don’t you go out first?” At this moment, Su Qianxun did not feel like moving at all.

“Young mistress, are you sick? Should I tell the butler?” asked Huan Huan, worried.

“There’s no need for that. Why don’t you go out first? I want to take a rest.”

Since Su Qianxun insisted upon it, Huan Huan had no choice but to leave the room.

The butler had been waiting in front of the elevator when Huan Huan stepped out. When he saw her, he asked, “Why isn’t Young Mistress Su here?”

“Young mistress said that she’s not hungry,” Huan Huan quoted what Su Qianxun had said.

When the butler thought about the oppressive aura emanating from his young master, who was sitting in the dining hall, he had no choice but to tell him the truth. Long Sijue remained expressionless when he heard that. He said coldly, “Since she’s not hungry, we’ll starve her for a few meals! No one’s allowed to send her any food!”

Tang Zui, who was sitting beside Long Sijue, was speechless. ‘If Jue really starves that chick for a few meals, I’ll run around naked in Jin Garden!’

“Jue, take a look at your hand. You have such a beautiful hand, and you had to injure it this way. It looks super grotesque right now. Why don’t we get someone to bandage it up for you first?” Tang Zui suggested.

“There’s no need!” Long Sijue refused coldly. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Tang Zui really did not know what to do. He did not know what happened between Long Sijue and Su Qianxun yesterday as he had not been present. When he asked that piece of log, Ye Gu, about it, Ye Gu merely told him that Long Sijue accidentally hit Su Qianxun.

Tang Zui had a feeling that things were not as simple as what Ye Gu said. He thought long and hard about it and finally had an idea. After he finished his meal, he ordered the butler, “Ask the kitchen to prepare a bowl of nutritious porridge. I’ll bring it to Miss Su later.”

The butler glanced at Long Sijue. When he saw that Long Sijue remained silent, he immediately ordered his subordinates to do as Tang Zui said.

After the porridge was ready, Tang Zui personally brought it to Su Qianxun’s room. When he saw how pale and weak the young woman looked, he felt something

After Tang Zui placed the porridge on the table, he left the room to look for Ye Gu. He kept pressing Ye Gu for the whole story, and Ye Gu finally narrated what happened the day before to Tang Zui. He did so bit by bit, as if he was squeezing a tube of toothpaste that was almost empty.

After Tang Zui listened to everything, he finally understood why Long Sijue was acting so abnormally.

‘That chick actually has an ambiguous relationship with the Li family’s second son!’

If this were to happen to him, he would go mad too, let alone Long Sijue!

“You know, Ye Gu, why is it so hard to make you talk? Is it because you’re a v*rgin?” After throwing an insult at Ye Gu, Tang Zui immediately fled the scene.

Ye Gu was speechless.

Tang Zui went to Long Sijue’s study room. As he gazed at how Long Sijue was typing on the keyboard with his badly injured hands, he tried to think of a way to make Long Sijue get over what had happened the day before…
