Seeing the warning look in Luo Shaoxuan's eyes, Zhao Sixi swallowed. "Then... then I'll inform Doctor Si..."
"No need. I'll tell Ziyang later."
"Okay, okay, then I'll head back first. Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Luo!" With that, she ran out of the courtyard as if escaping, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing her. She thought to herself that she'd better not find a husband like him in the future. He was too scary.
When Si Qingyu brought out the porridge, there was only Luo Shaoxuan in the courtyard. She couldn't help but wonder, "Where is she?"
Luo Shaoxuan gently replied, "Miss Zhao was worried about the clinic and said she had to return first. She was in a bit of a hurry and asked me to inform you."
In a hurry?
Si Qingyu gave him a plain look. Seeing his innocent expression, she couldn't be bothered to expose his lie.
"Let's have the porridge first."
"Mm."
Luo Shaoxuan took a small sip and looked at Si Qingyu with shimmering eyes, his voice filled with nostalgia. "It's been a long time since I've had porridge cooked by Ziyang. I'm so happy~" He even dragged out the last word, like a hook.
"Mm, then have more." The iron-straight woman replied indifferently, completely lacking the expected reaction.
Luo Shaoxuan pouted, clearly dissatisfied with her response.
He scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and brought it to Si Qingyu's lips, even making an "ah" sound to urge her to open her mouth.
Si Qingyu felt she was about to be sickened by his clinginess. She tilted her head back slightly. "I can do it myself."
Luo Shaoxuan wouldn't have it. He continued to hold the spoon to her lips, his eyes fixed on her, as if he would keep holding it until she ate it.
Si Qingyu gritted her teeth and drank the porridge with a dark expression. After finishing, she quickly pushed his hand back. "Alright, eat it yourself now."
"Mm, mm!" Luo Shaoxuan was finally satisfied and drank the porridge while watching her.
By the time Luo Shaoxuan left, it was already around You hour in the afternoon (around 5 pm).
It wasn't easy to send him off. That was Si Qingyu's only thought.
...
On the other hand, Luo Shaoxuan, who had been "coaxed" back to the inn by Si Qingyu, was in a good mood. He was playing with the wooden hairpin in his hand, his picturesque brows filled with delight.
Knock, knock.
Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, there was a knock on the door. Luo Shaoxuan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a cold gleam flashing. He got up to open the door.
Outside the door stood a few slightly older women wearing uniform gray robes. They stood there in an orderly manner. Seeing Luo Shaoxuan open the door, the leading woman bowed to him. "The family head has sent us to invite the eldest young master to return home."
Luo Shaoxuan glanced at them coldly with his beautiful eyes and laughed coldly. "The old man really can't wait, huh? He sent you bunch of dog slaves to find me so quickly."
"Please cooperate with us, Young Master, and come with us to see the family head." The leading woman lowered her head slightly, as if afraid to offend Luo Shaoxuan.
"Oh? And if I don't cooperate?" His voice was soft, but it carried a sinister air that made one's heart tremble with fear.
The leading woman's throat tightened as she suppressed a shiver. "The family head said... if the young master doesn't cooperate, we are to find Doctor Si." The threat was obvious.
Those three words were like Luo Shaoxuan's reverse scale. His eyes narrowed, filled with cold malice. His entire being instantly burst with a strong murderous intent. The corners of his lips curled into an enchanting smile, deep and full of danger, as he looked at her. "If you dare touch her, I will make you wish you were dead." Each word was emphasized, and every word brought a bone-chilling coldness. No one would think he was joking.
