Chapter 272: Sa Body Scent
“Qin Youxuan, don’t you dare cross the line!” Bai Wei spotted her provocation and bellowed out in anger.
“Miss Bai certainly has keen sight. Just by taking a few extra glances at , you knew my na, weren’t you just assuming I was a maid earlier?” Qin Youxuan said sarcastically, her tone filled with ridicule.
The color of Bai Wei’s face turned crimson with embarrassnt.
“… I asked the butler before I ca in, is that not allowed!”
“Of course it’s allowed. However, next ti, Miss Bai, before you speak, please ask first if others around you are willing to listen.” Qin Youxuan lazily raised her eyes, “I regret to say, I’m quite tired now, perhaps I won’t be able to accompany Miss Bai anymore.”
“…”
Bai Wei gritted her teeth, choked on her words by Qin Youxuan’s retort.
Just as she was about to erupt in anger, she noticed a familiar little bottle on the table, her gaze stalled montarily.
The next second, a trace of a smile crossed her face. Ignoring Qin Youxuan’s dismissive gaze, she walked straight up to the table, picked up the little bottle and held it in her hand.
She turned around, looked at Qin Youxuan, her tone scornful, “Do you know what this is?”
“…”
Qin Youxuan looked at the small bottle in her hand. The blue colour of the little bottle gave off an eerie glow in the dim light.
It was just an empty bottle, with nothing left inside.
Qin Youxuan’s gaze faltered. The last ti she was here, she hadn’t seen this little bottle.
Bai Wei sure had sharp eyes, she spotted it instantly.
Seeing her expression, Qin Youxuan could discern that whatever she was about to say next, would undoubtedly be sothing disconcerting.
Even if she was curious, she didn’t show it, and made no attempt to respond to her.
“I’ve known Jie for many years. He always suffers from insomnia and needs to take dication to sleep, unless I’m by his side.” Bai Wei paused, caught the confusion flashing across Qin Youxuan’s face, and smiled slightly.
“It seems he hasn’t even told you this. Turns out, you can only get close to him physically, but you can’t touch his heart.”
“… What are you trying to say?” Qin Youxuan stared at the dicine bottle in her hands, her eyes questioning, “If you were really that important to him, I wouldn’t be standing here today.”
Qin Youxuan’s hand at her side tightened, a strange feeling welled up inside her, yet her face didn’t reveal the loneliness and sadness that Bai Wei was expecting.
Seeing Qin Youxuan’s indifference, Bai Wei’s grip on the dicine bottle tightened, “This is a dicine bottle that Jie never leaves behind. But it’s empty now, do you know what that ans?”
“Do you think that you’ve replaced ? No, you rely took advantage of my injury and disappearance to step into my position by Jie’s side. If it wasn’t for the fact that your body scent is identical to mine, Jie wouldn’t even spare you a second glance!”
“…”
Qin Youxuan stepped back in shock, supporting herself on the table, staring at her in surprise.
“You just said, what scent?”
“You don’t even know about this, yet you dare to say you’re not a substitute?” Bai Wei stepped forward, raised her arm, and moved closer to Qin Youxuan’s face. “Take a whiff yourself, does my scent seem familiar?”
“…”
Qin Youxuan instinctively took a deep breath, the faint fragrance lingered in her nostrils.
She tensed up suddenly.
The scent… It was all too familiar, so familiar that… she couldn’t quite describe the feeling.
“I’ve grown up with Jie since we were children, only when I’m by his side can he sleep peacefully. He says he loves my scent the most…”
“…”
Qin Youxuan’s body went limp, her face turned deathly pale.
