Chapter 539: Growing Quieter by the Day

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the next few days, the tension between Long Sijue and Su Qianxun still did not diffuse. Su Qianxun would accompany him during his meals every day as his food taster, while Long Sijue would embrace her to sleep every night.

Sometimes, he would even ask her to satisfy his s*xual needs in a “peculiar” way.

Even though they were doing the most intimate thing that a man and woman could do, their hearts were miles apart.

Long Sijue was also growing quieter by the day. Sometimes, he would not even utter a single word throughout the entire day. He was smoking more and more too.

Tang Zui and Si Mancheng were pretty shocked by Long Sijue's demeanor. They communicated using their gazes as they sat opposite Long Sijue in the office.

“The misunderstanding has been resolved already, hasn't it? Why do I feel like Jue's acting even more abnormally now?”

“How would I know?”

“Aren't you a resourceful person? Why can't you think of something?”

Tang Zui was speechless.

'Why does it always have to be me?!'

After Tang Zui left Long Sijue's office, he gave Su Qianxun a call.

Su Qianxun was mending the necktie in her bedroom, and she was almost done.

The necktie, which was originally full-black, looked even more exquisite and stylish after the tiny white flower was embroidered on it.

“Chick, what are you up to?” Tang Zui asked.

“Nothing much. How has Mian Mian been lately?”

Gu Mian had called her earlier on and cried for a long time. She also reminded Su Qianxun to rest well.

“She's doing pretty well? Are you doing better, health-wise?”

“Yeah, I've recovered completely.”

She was no longer bleeding down there.

“That's great.” After Tang Zui finished speaking, he hung up.

Su Qianxun was a little baffled as she stared at her cell phone.

Su Qianxun received a call from Gu Mian in the afternoon asking her to hang out. She said yes as she had almost recovered completely. Moreover, she wanted to see Gu Mian too.

Tang Zui had made it a point to invite quite a few of his good friends to a gathering held inside the private lounge of a hotel. Long Sijue was on the list too. He sat on a couch in the middle of the room and sipped a gla.s.s of wine in his hand slowly. He looked a little distracted.

After drinking about half a bottle of red wine, Long Sijue rose to return to Jin Garden. He was worried that the young woman would not eat anything if he did not go back.

His heart ached tremendously at the thought of her skinny figure.

When Si Mancheng saw that Long Sijue was leaving, he immediately gestured at Tang Zui with his eyes. Tang Zui winked at him to rea.s.sure him that everything would be fine.

The moment Long Sijue stood up, someone opened the door of the private lounge from the outside. Gu Mian was holding Su Qianxun by the hand, and both of them walked into the private lounge.

Long Sijue furrowed his eyebrows a little when he saw the young woman. He almost immediately wanted to grab her by the hand and drag her home. 'She's still in such a frail state. How can she run around like this?'

However, he suddenly recalled how their relations.h.i.+p had come to a standstill lately. As if someone had just thrown a bucketful of cold water over him, he sat back down on the couch.

Su Qianxun saw Long Sijue too, and she sucked in a sharp breath. A little upset, she looked at Gu Mian. Gu Mian coughed in embarra.s.sment and said, “Tang Zui was the one who asked me to come over. I didn't expect there to be so many people either… But since we're here already, why don't we have a little fun before we leave? You must be feeling bored after staying at home for so many days, anyway.

Tang Zui walked over to the two of them. He took Su Qianxun by the hand and dragged her into the private lounge as he said, “Since Jue happens to be here too, you guys can go home together after we're done.”

Tang Zui dragged Su Qianxun over to the couch that Long Sijue was sitting on, and he pushed Su Qianxun toward Long Sijue.

Even though Su Qianxun had almost recovered completely, she had become even skinnier. The push from Tang Zui made her tumble. When Long Sijue saw this, he immediately opened his arms and caught her pet.i.te body.
