Novel Full “What do you mean, Su Liancheng, what has he been doing?”
“You go have a look yourself!” Su Liancheng hurried Luo Qianqian.
Su Liancheng would steal a glance at Murong Yun inside the room from now and then, to his surprise, Murong Yun just sat in his chair, motionless, like a block of petrified wood. He left his wound unattended and most of the blood in his palm had already clotted with some deep cuts oozing out blood.
“Sister-in-law, I know I can be really nosy sometimes, but what has happened between you two? I’ve never seen him like this before, he isn’t able to control himself at all, I mean the wound on his hand… …”
“Wound on his hand? Is he injured?” Luo Qianqian asked with concern, “Is it serious?”
Su Liancheng nodded then he shook his head promptly, “It’s not but it is, I don’t know, you go have a look yourself. He looks devastated. Sister-in-law, I don’t know what has happened between you two, but I do you are the only one who is in his heart, quite frankly, the only one who ha been in his heart. Please don’t break his heart! Sister-in-law, can you please tell me what has happened?”
Luo Qianqian shook her hear and told Su Liancheng about the bet.
“How would I know he would appear and hear everything? It was just a harmless bet, I knew I would win of course, plus I really need Yue Qiqi’s help on investigating that man, I only agreed to bet with her when I knew I would win. And guess what, I won!”
Su Liancheng’s first reaction was, “What? Someone did a sneak attack on you? Are you injured?”
Luo Qianqian did a Dumbbell Concentration Curl in the air to flex her muscle, “What do you think the answer will be?”
“I’m glad you aren’t hurt.” Su Liancheng heaved a sigh of relief, “But sister-in-law, I’m not being partial here, I think you are in the wrong this time.”
Luo Qianqian wanted to talk back but she wasn’t able to utter a word, ‘Am I really in the wrong?’
This was Luo Qianqian’s first relationship as well, she admitted she had a lot to learn, to work on, and she needed to figure out a better way to communicate.
“Su Liancheng, do you care to explain it to me a bit further? The thing is I am confident in my horsemanship, I wouldn’t lose, plus I could gain help from Yue Qiqi after the bet, I consider it as a one stone, two birds situation.”
Su Liancheng thought for a while, then he came up with the perfect explanation.
“Let’s put it this way, what will you feel if Brother Eighth uses you as a wager? Will you be happy?”
Luo Qianqian replied in earnest, “Yeah, why not? I don’t find it improper or anything, maybe I’ll have the slightest harsh feeling, but it’s negligible. I know no way will he accept the bet if he isn’t confident. So overall, I think it’s fine.”
Su Liancheng frowned, ‘hmm, I need to change a new perspective.’
Su Liancheng took a deep breath and continued, “Sister-in-law, this isn’t about how confident you are, it’s about your attitude, it’s about how you see Brother Eighth. You clearly have used Brother Eighth as a wager, right? Like an object. Of course it would hurt Brother Eighth’s feelings, and it hurt him even more when he saw how you handled it after you saw him.”
Luo Qianqian was choked.
“What’s more, it you had chased Brother Eighth when he turned away, I’m sure he wound not have got so mad at you. You could have chased him and explained the whole thing on the spot, you know, let him know you care about him more than anything in the world. But unfortunately, you didn’t chase him and you didn’t bother to explain yourself, of course he would misunderstand you and think you don’t value him!”
Luo Qianqian found that made perfect sense, but she was too stubborn and reluctant to admit mistakes, “I guess I wasn’t really thinking, I just thought maybe we both could use some time to cool down.”
“Sister-in-law, you have a lot to learn.” Su Liancheng shook his head resignedly, he felt sorry for his Brother Eighth.
‘What Su Liancheng says is a whole lot like what Yue Qiqi has told me, I guess I’m really in the wrong.’
“Sister-in-law, please open the door and talk to Brother Eighth. I gotta excuse myself.”
Luo Qianqian took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
There wasn’t candlelight in the room, she could only see Murong Yun sitting by the table by the silver moonlight.
Luo Qianqian walked to him in the dark and wrapped her arms around his lower back, she could feel Murong Yun has stiffened immediately.
“Murong Yun, I am so sorry.”
Silence.
Luo Qianqian walked in front of Murong Yun and nestled in his arms, she stroked his chest, “I’m so sorry, that was very inconsiderate and wrong of me to use you as a wager, and I should have chased you and explained the whole thing to you. It’s just I have confidence in my horsemanship, and I can get some help on investing a case, an extra advantage, why not?”
Silence.
Luo Qianqian didn’t take the silence well, she panicked.
“Murong Yun, I promise you it will never happen again. Su Liancheng is right, I shouldn’t have treated you like an object, please say something.”
“Please get out.” Murong Yun said with indifference.
Hearing that, Luo Qianqian wanted to throw a tantrum, but she changed her mind immediately thinking about she was here to apologize.
All of a sudden, the smell of blood wafted along by the breeze.
Luo Qianqian lighted up a candle in a hurry, what met her eyes was Murong Yun’s injured right palm, it was full of blood and bloodstains. Luo Qianqian’s heart broken on seeing that.
“Why did you do this to yourself?”
Murong Yun hid his palm behind his back, “I’m fine, please leave me alone.”
“No way will I leave you alone.” Luo Qianqian said in a domineering manner, “Give me your hand.”
Murong Yun didn’t move, Luo Qianqian grabbed his hand and checked the wound, “I must owe you big time in my last life.”
She cleaned Murong Yun’s wound and started to apply ointment, “It might hurt a little bit, but I promise you I will be gentle.”
‘Murong Yun, are you a fool? How could you do this to yourself?’
Seeing the girl in front of him, Murong Yun’s heart softened.
