Chapter 266 Irritability
"It went well, why did you drink so much?" He grabbed her other restless hand, pulled her into the study, and pressed her onto the sofa, "I'll go get you a glass of water."
Gu Xiqing sat on the sofa, her eyes fixed on his back as he went to pour water, her heart filled with confusion.
She was not drunk.
"I'm going back to S City tomorrow."
"Yeah." Lin Qingxuan poured a glass of water at a suitable temperature, walked to her, squatted down and gave it to her, "Let's go back together."
Gu Xiqing held the water cup, looked at the shaking water in the cup, and nodded.
"I was too emotional this afternoon." Lin Qingxuan spoke softly when he saw that she looked uninterested.
After all, the person in front of him was not the Gu Xiqing he knew, and he had no reason to make her follow unnecessary rules because of him.
"It's okay." Gu Xiqing drank the water. The warm water went into her throat, making her bitter throat feel much warmer.
Perhaps it was because the light in the study was not on, and only the cold light from outside the window fell on him, making him look a little unreal in his gentleness.
Gu Xiqing sat on the sofa, holding the water cup in both hands, suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart, pursed her lips, smiled and shook her head.
Lin Qingxuan squatted in front of her, looking at her slightly drunk and confused look, and felt as uncomfortable as if a stone was pressed on his heart.
He raised his hand to touch her hair, but then silently pulled it back.
He wanted to replace 'him', but... he had no emotional foundation with Gu Xiqing in this world.
The study was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the two people's breathing and heartbeats.
Gu Xiqing put the water cup on the table and stood up.
"I'll go back and wash up and rest. You should go to bed early too." She was used to going into the study as the first thing after returning home. When he was in the study, she had no place to empty her mind.
It's no use just sitting here all the time.
Lin Qingxuan nodded.
Afraid that she would fall, I followed her and watched her walk into the master bedroom and close the door.
The corridor returned to its dead silence.
The study behind me is very quiet, and so is the side bedroom.
Standing in the corridor, with his back against the wall of the master bedroom, he listened to the tiny rustling sounds inside, until the light from the crack in the door disappeared, only then was he sure that she had fallen asleep.
I walked lightly back to the second bedroom and sat on the bed without feeling sleepy at all.
He took out the ordinary crescent jade pendant. The inky black jade pendant shone with a cool luster in the night. No matter how he looked at it, it was just a piece of jade that was a bit old.
After putting the crescent jade pendant away and washing up in the bathroom, I lay on the bed without feeling sleepy at all.
In the master bedroom, Gu Xiqing was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep because she was feeling depressed, so she simply sat up again.
With one hand on his forehead and fingers rubbing the hair on his forehead, he called Du Mingcheng with half-closed eyes, but still no one answered the call. The several messages he sent have not been replied yet.
Normally, no matter how busy I am, I will always reply her message after I am done... Now...
"It seems that something happened to my uncle..." Seeing that the message he sent fell on deaf ears and there was no response, he lowered his eyes and sighed, then put the phone on the bedside.
Fortunately, I drank some wine. Even if something big happened, the aftereffects of the wine would take effect. Even if I didn't want to sleep, my body couldn't hold on and I could fall asleep quickly.
In the second bedroom, Lin Qingxuan couldn't sleep, so he turned on the phone that Special Assistant Wu gave him today.
This is 'his' backup phone. All the information on the previous phone is recorded on this phone, and it can be unlocked with his fingerprint.
