After school.
This was the first afternoon in over a month that Xiyan didn’t head to the Ou Mansion.
Hmm... Was it really okay for her to just stop going without a word?
What if Luoluo had been waiting for her all this ti?
But then she rembered Ou Jue’s attitude from yesterday—
With her bag slung over her shoulder, Xiyan decisively stepped onto the bus heading ho.
While waiting for the bus, Mu Zeyu called.
"Zeyu, what’s up?"
"Xiyan, are you doing okay? Are you sure everything’s alright?"
"I’m fine! Didn’t I explain everything to you on the phone yesterday?" Xiyan raised her head slightly, watching the buses co and go. "Oh, by the way, Zeyu, the gift you bought for that important soone is still with . Should I find a ti to send it to you, or would you rather co get it?"
"No rush, just keep it with you for now." Mu Zeyu adjusted his gold-rimd glasses. "I can’t believe it... You and Young Master Ou have such a connection."
"Stop. There’s absolutely nothing between us, okay?" Xiyan pouted.
"Shall I reach out to Young Master Ou and clear up what happened yesterday? That tie... it was ant for him, right? Seems like he misunderstood."
"No! You absolutely can’t explain it to him or tell him the tie was from !"
"Why?"
"Ah... Ugh, I just don’t want him to know right now, that’s all."
Mu Zeyu sighed, "You young people are so hard to figure out..."
"Alright, I’m not talking about this anymore. My bus is here. You can co get the gift whenever. Bye."
*——*——*
At the Ou Mansion.
Ou Jue walked in with his usual air of elegance, his gaze sweeping across the room. The woman wasn’t there.
He tossed his car keys onto the coffee table with frustration clearly written on his face.
The furniture and decor in the mansion’s living room were exactly the sa as always.
The servants were busy in the kitchen.
But still... sothing felt off.
It felt like... sothing was missing.
Luoluo ca bouncing over like a little bunny, her shiny black eyes fixated on Ou Jue. "Brother, where is Big Sister? Why didn’t she co today?"
Ou Jue gave her a sidelong glance. "Your leg injury is all healed. Why would she still co?"
"What? If my leg is healed, then Big Sister won’t co anymore?" Luoluo panicked and quickly pretended her leg hurt, clutching it as if in pain. "Suddenly, my leg feels so painful again! It must be an old injury flaring up!"
"Ou Xiaoluo, could your acting be any worse?" Ou Jue’s face was full of disdain.
Luoluo rolled around on the sofa, "I don’t care, I don’t care! I want Big Sister to co back!"
Crossing his arms, Ou Jue raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice taking on an enticing tone. "Do you truly... want her to co back that much?"
"I do~!"
Ou Jue turned to look at Butler Li and gave a commanding order. "Bring so bandages."
Butler Li was clearly puzzled but still responded, "Yes, sir."
Ten minutes later.
Ou Xiaoluo stared wide-eyed at her leg, now puffed up from layers of bandages. "Brother... Do you really have to do this? Luoluo feels super uncomfortable, boo-hoo-boo."
Ou Jue tied the final knot with expert precision and sat up straight, a satisfied look on his face. "What do you know? If we don’t do this, she won’t co back."
Besides, kids need to toughen up a bit. That’s how you grow into soone remarkable!
Seeing Ou Jue’s expression, Luoluo suddenly clapped her hands. "I get it now. Brother definitely misses Big Sister too! You want her to co back, don’t you?"
