Despite her objection, Long Sijue dragged her over and sat her down in the seat next to his. He then handed her one of the sandwiches
“I really have no appetite. I can’t do this job. It’s better for you to look for someone else. I’m going to help the other servants out in the kitchen.”
Once Su Qianxun finished saying that, she stood up and left. The butler and the other servants sensed the increasingly chilly aura around Long Sijue. They were so frightened that no one dared to make a sound.
When Su Qianxun reached the doorway of the dining hall, Long Sijue swept everything on the dining table onto the floor. There was a string of sharp clinks and clanks.
“Butler, from now on, there’s no need for the kitchen of Jin Garden to cook anything!” Long Sijue said, stood up and left the dining room.
Su Qianxun stood stiffly. She watched the man as he left in a fit of anger and clenched his fists tightly.
For the entire day, the servants in the kitchen did not cook anything. Su Qianxun overheard the servants whisper and grumble. All of them were so hungry that they no longer had the energy to work.
Su Qianxun knew that Long Sijue must not have eaten anything that day. At last, she went to see the butler and said, “I’m willing to be the young master’s taster.”
Seeing that she finally gave in, the butler sighed in relief. He immediately ordered the kitchen to make some bland dishes for dinner.
At the dining table, Su Qianxun tasted every dish in silence. Once she finished, she grabbed some food and put them on Long Sijue’s plate. She finished tasting all the dishes, and ate more than she would usually do for a meal. Eventually, she felt so full that she could no longer take another bite.
After Su Qianxun returned to her room, she took out the tie and started sewing it back together again. Someone suddenly opened the room door. She immediately hid the tie in her hands behind her back.
There was a hint of dejection in Long Sijue’s eyes when he saw her demeanour. He walked over to the bedside and said, “Go to sleep.”
“This is my room…” Su Qianxun protested glumly.
“Jin Garden is mine. All the rooms in the mansion belong to me! I can sleep wherever I want to,” Long Sijue said bossily.
Su Qianxun was speechless.
“Then, I’ll go out to look for a room to sleep in tonight.”
Su Qianxun immediately gathered her stuff and shoved them into her bag. She was about to get off the bed and leave. Before she could get out of the bed, Long Sijue put his arms around her and lay down on the small bed with her. He raised a hand to switch off the lamp on the nightstand and said, “Go to sleep!”
Su Qianxun lay in his arms. His embrace was incredibly warm. It was so comfortable that she wanted to move closer. Nevertheless, deep down, she knew that he was not the sort of person she should go close to.
The following day, when Su Qianxun woke up, Long Sijue was no longer in the room. She secretly sighed in relief, because she seriously did not know how to deal with him right now.
After Su Qianxun got out of bed, she went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. She inadvertently took a glance at her reflection in the mirror and suddenly realized that the butterfly mark on her chest had vanished!
She immediately went over to the mirror and studied the mark. She realized that the butterfly had not disappeared. But its had faded to a much lighter shade and was seemingly colourless.
Su Qianxun furrowed her eyebrows. ‘How? Why did this happen?’ She immediately realized that the change in the butterfly mark might have something to do with her miscarriage.
She had been through a lot lately. She could not possibly be in the mood to notice trivial things like that. That was why she had not noticed the change in the butterfly’s colour up until now.
By now, Su Qianxun was finally certain that this butterfly was not a birthmark, but some kind of strange marking.
As for what kind of marking it was, she had no idea. However, she suspected that it had something to do with the fact that Long Sijue wanted her to give birth to his child.
It meant that this butterfly mark was connected to Long Sijue and, more importantly, the child she would give birth to!
