181 Chapter 181. Sealed Heart
Mo Qian looked at the silent Zhuang Xian, and his heart began to beat faster. Did he use too much force this time and have the opposite effect?
Just as the three of them were silent and didn’t know what to say, an Auntie came out of the kitchen and said to Mo Qian gently and respectfully, “Young master, it’s already noon. When would you and your guest like to have lunch?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Qian snapped back to his senses. Just as he was about to reply to the Auntie, he was interrupted by Zhuang Xian, who had a hurried tone and an extremely unnatural expression on her face.
“I’ll be borrowing your bathroom. Thank you.” As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Mo Qian thought of getting someone to take her to the washroom, but her actions dispelled him.
Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian’s back as she walked away unnaturally and hurriedly. Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something. He smiled and instructed the kitchen lady, “Prepare a meal.”
Zhuang Xian, who had pushed open the door to the bathroom on the first floor, had her hands on the marble of the sink. She lowered her head and let out a few heavy breaths.
Her heart was chaotic and beating very fast. The spring breeze suddenly swept the usually calm and peaceful stagnant water. After the ripples, it could not return to its original relaxed appearance for a long time.
This feeling was too foreign to Zhuang Xian. She was a little panicked. She didn’t want to think too deeply about the reason.
She felt that if she relaxed more, everything would change significantly. She didn’t know if it was good or bad, so she kept avoiding it.
Zhuang Xian raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were watery and crystal clear, and her face was slightly red, like a young girl who had just experienced love.
However, only she knew that her mind was still evident at that moment. Zhuang Xian washed her face as if trying to wash away her budding love for Mo Qian.
She didn’t know that it was impossible to hide the feeling of having a good impression and liking someone. Love would only gradually bee increasingly heavier as it was hidden more profound. It would not diminish or disappear.
Zhuang Xian was a brilliant person, but she did not seem to understand these things.
After her rebirth, her 16-year-old body carried the experience of her two lives. The maturity of her soul was far higher than what it appeared on the surface.
“Fourth young Miss? Are you alright? The young master is still waiting for you to eat.” The maid’s gentle voice came from outside the bathroom.
Zhuang Xian glanced sideways at the door and replied, “I know; I’ll e.”
Mo Qian looked up at Zhuang Xian, who had just returned, and smiled gently, “I’ve eaten at your house several times! We’ve returned the favor today. e and try Auntie’s cooking. Can she be pared to you?”
Zhuang Xian walked over and looked up at Mo Qian. “I just received news from my mother. She’s looking for me, so I must go back now.”
Mo Qian was taken aback. He couldn’t understand why Zhuang Xian had returned to her cold and distant self in just a few minutes. Where did the lively Zhuang Xian go?
The smile on Mo Qian’s face froze. After a long while, he slowly said, “Since you’re busy, I won’t keep you. I’ll get the driver to take you.”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet. Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian’s gentle yet disappointed and lonely expression and felt a little sorry for him. After a pause, she nodded in agreement.
Mo Qian maneuvered his wheelchair to follow behind Zhuang Xian, signaling for Mo Xi to help her carry her things. He then turned back and gave the kitchen lady a look, and the lady immediately understood and returned to the kitchen.
“You don’t need to send me off. Remember not to drink these few days; your food should be light. Qing Yi should have some results in these two days.” Zhuang Xian walked in front of Mo Qian, and she spoke with an indifferent expression.
Mo Qian nodded. “Alright, I understand. I’ll listen to you.”
He listened to Zhuang Xian and was willing to cooperate, but he didn’t stop sending her off.
Because Mo Qian always moved around in a wheelchair, the front yard of the Mo family house didn’t have any doorsteps or steps. One could sit in a wheelchair directly to the parking lot.
Zhuang Xian watched as Mo Xi helped her put her documents and bag into the car. She turned back to look at Mo Qian, got into the car, and left.
