The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 312

Chu Xing was wearing light-colored underwear, simple and comfortable linen material, and a string of coral beads in his hand. The moment he spoke, the people inside held their breaths and fell silent.

Ah Liang seemed to see the savior in an instant, and ran over crying, raised his wrist to show Chu Xing, and shouted: "Master, help me! Sister Poppy is going to kill me!"

Lu Ming hasn't seen a woman swearing for a long time, and he couldn't believe the exaggerated words that Ah Liang said with his eyes open, and felt ashamed for her.Poppy's eyes twitched lightly, she didn't care about Ah Liang's complaint, she just snorted slightly, then folded her arms and leaned on the sofa, even stingy to glance over here.

Chu Xing glanced at Poppy, and A Liang kept shaking the corner of his clothes, and then glanced at A Liang's wrist.Seeing that he didn't speak, Ah Liang hurriedly added: "And last night, someone heard a noise in Sister Poppy's room, and it was her and other men... the voice over there the whole night!"

"Really." After Chu Xing finished listening, his eyes didn't move, he just asked lightly, "Who heard it?"

He asked casually, but Ah Liang shrank her neck subconsciously.She has been with Chu Xing for a while, but she still can't figure out his mind.When he asked this question, she could only answer in a low voice: "Yes...it was told to me by Ah Ming in the room next to Sister Poppy."

"Just her?"

"Yes."

Chu Xing gave a "hmm" and asked again: "I only heard people's voices, did you see people's shadows?"

"……No."

"Where's that A Ming man?"

Ah Liang whispered: "She was sent to the East Street today."

Chu Xing suddenly smiled softly.He twisted the one hundred and eight Buddhist beads in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "Last night, Poppy was punished to kneel in the confinement room all night. Where did Ah Ming hear that human voice? Could it be that she asked someone to pretend to be Is it not working?"

After Chu Xing finished speaking, everyone was silent, and all looked sideways at Ah Liang.Ah Liang froze in place for a moment, and lost her voice: "Yes, but Ah Ming...it's impossible! Poppy, she clearly..."

"What kind of decent is it to make someone else's office look like this early in the morning and make such a noise. I've let you be too leisurely recently." Chu Xing ignored her, turned and walked out, and ordered in a manly voice, "Take that aunt Ming hangs up and beats until she knows she shouldn't spread rumors and cause trouble. A Liang goes to the confinement room to reflect for a day and is not allowed to eat. Tomorrow, I will go to the southwest with Li Zhi. The folk customs of the Golden Triangle are very good, so I will grind you hard Messy bad temper."

Ah Liang was on the spot stupidly, completely at a loss.She called out several times, Young Master, but Chu Xing didn't look back.After a while, Chu Xinglue stopped, turned his head halfway, and said, "You just said that Poppy hurt your wrist?"

Ah Liang came back to his senses, nodded vigorously, and said, "Sister Poppy almost killed me just now!"

Poppy still had that cool and thin look, and she didn't even bother to turn her head to glance at her.Chu Xing glanced at Poppy, and said in a deep voice, "Come here."

Poppy had no expression on her face, and after a while, she still walked over slowly.

Chu Xing said: "Follow me to the study and kneel."

After returning to Chu's house and entering the study, Poppy lowered her posture, and before her knees touched the ground, Chu Xing pulled her up by her arms: "What are you doing?"

Poppy lowered her eyes and said flatly, "You didn't make me kneel?"

Her words were hoarse.Chu Xing couldn't control her senses last night and she fainted. Poppy had to cry for too long, and the voice still hasn't slowed down.Chu Xing glanced at her and said with a smile: "Today, if you are asked to kneel, you will kneel. Why didn't you come when I asked you to come here yesterday?"

Poppy still lowered her eyes, and said boldly: "Of course I have been listening to you. But last night you had a distinguished guest, and I was afraid that I would disturb your interest. That would be bad. What do you think?"

Chu Xing looked at her and slowly laughed.Then he reached out and rang the bell on the desk, notifying the housekeeper, "Make something to moisten your throat."

Poppy stood aside with her hands down, looked at the ceiling and said, "I don't want to drink pear soup today."

Chu Xing glanced at her and teased her: "I said it was made for you?"

Poppy's face turned cold, and she was about to leave immediately.Being dragged back by Chu Xing's wrist, he pressed his body against the edge of the desk, and added to the housekeeper, "No pears."

Poppy tried to struggle, but when she found it was useless, she gave up and said, "Thanks to some people, I haven't had time to eat breakfast yet."

Chu Xing gave her a funny look, and said to the housekeeper, "Bring some more breakfast."

There was another answer.Chu Xing cut off the call. Seeing that Poppy's brows and eyes were still cool and impatient, he scratched the tip of her nose with a finger, and teased, "You can't stand a joke, what else can you stand?"

"How do you know I can't bear it. I can bear it very much." Poppy frowned slightly, and replied coldly, "I was just pretending to walk away. You just took it seriously. You are the one who really can't bear it."

She contradicts everywhere today, which is very abnormal.After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something again, but held back when blurting out.Chu Xing slowly pushed her down on the desk, and said in a low voice: "If there is anything else you want to say, let's just say it together. Huh?"

Poppy was not polite, and continued, "You are usually in a high position. Who would dare to criticize your shortcomings? You can't bear such a joke. It's just that you didn't realize it. Others have been slandering you for a long time."

Others say such things, and they are no longer in the study at this moment.Poppy said, Chu Xing didn't seem to care, just laughed again, and then pressed her back on the desk at a [-]-degree angle, and opened her skirt with his hands.

Just now in the office, if Ah Liang pulled it down a little further, he would be able to see a large bruise on Poppy's chest from the bite.Dial a little further down, until the lower abdomen, there are deep and shallow marks of pinching or biting.Poppy was suppressed to watch these things in this kind of place, and felt awkward, uncomfortable and ashamed. After waiting for a while, seeing that Chu Xing still had no sign of letting go of her, she finally couldn't help asking: "Have you seen enough?"

Chu Xing let go of her slightly, and said, "I've done everything here, and still feel embarrassed?"

Poppy's complexion was already very bad, but she endured it again and again, and still held back the words that rushed to her lips, and she kept her face sullen and said nothing.Chu Xing took out a small bottle of medicine from one side of the drawer and poured a little into his hand. Seeing this, Poppy shrank back and said firmly, "I won't wipe this."

Chu Xing glanced at her, Poppy's face was slightly cold, and she was very firm: "Don't wipe it."

"Say a reason."

Poppy turned her face away, and her lips were tightly pursed. After a while, under Chu Xing's silent eyes, she still managed to speak: "The smell of medicine is so strong. I can't fully guess what's going on when I go out."

Chu Xing was noncommittal: "Occasionally, who would have guessed the last time."

Poppy frowned tightly, turned around, and finally showed an extremely impatient expression: "If you can really make me bruise like this once in a while, I can do it too. But can you do it?"

Poppy stared at him, and at that moment, it felt as if she could jump up immediately with just one more touch.Chu Xing pondered for a moment, put the things back in the drawer, and tidied up Poppy's clothes.Finally he sat down, hugged her into his lap, and stroked her back gently.

Since Poppy grew up, Chu Xing rarely made such movements.However, when Poppy was still young, Chu Xing often carried her to work like this.At that time, she was very happy to pester him, and even if he had official business, he would not leave. Chu Xing would often discuss business with Lu Ming while stroking her back like this until he coaxed her to sleep.Or sometimes when the two of them were admiring new flowers in the flower pavilion, or when he went fishing, the poppy was tired from the sun and wanted to sleep, it would always be in this posture, very familiar and flowing, as if it was very natural.

After Chu Xing caressed for a while, Poppy's face finally softened.Chu Xing was about to tease her, when the butler knocked on the door.Poppy froze again, Chu Xing didn't catch her in time, and immediately jumped off for her.

When the butler entered the door, he saw Chu Xing sitting with his knees crossed, his chin propped on a single finger, his face somber and silent.Poppy stood two meters away, still with the low-browed and pleasing appearance she usually pretended to be.

The housekeeper often saw this scene in the past.It's just that I don't know why today people feel that the atmosphere is a little strangely tense.The butler left without looking sideways, and after a while, he saw Poppy closing the door of the study and walking out with a blank expression on his face.

Seeing her approaching, the housekeeper bowed slightly a meter away.Poppy didn't even squint her eyes, and just ignored him as air.When she was far away, the butler entered the study and brought out the basically untouched breakfast and soup after a while. A new bodyguard approached from the side and whispered, "Uncle Zhou, I see that Miss A Liang I have to look up to you, Miss Poppy is so defiant, you are a generous elder, it’s fine if you don’t get angry, why do you owe her?”

The butler carried the things back to the kitchen, as if he didn't hear his question all the way.After a while, seeing that he was always following behind, he smiled imperceptibly and said, "Miss A Liang? She is just a girl A Liang."

The weather is gradually entering autumn.It rained lightly the next morning. Although it was not heavy, it felt chilly when it touched people's skin.When Poppy went downstairs, she saw that A Liang and Li Zhi had already packed their luggage and stood downstairs, and Lu Ming was standing beside him holding an umbrella. The three of them were waiting for the driver not far away to drive over.

Lu Ming saw her and greeted her with a smile.Ah Liang and Li Zhi turned their heads, and when they saw Poppy, one snorted coldly, and the other pretended not to see it.Poppy didn't seem to notice how they were being treated like this, so she walked over on her own, called "Sister Li Zhi", and asked softly, "How long will I stay at the southwest border this time?"

Li Zhi didn't appreciate it: "What does it have to do with you?"

Lu Ming laughed and smoothed things over: "Miss Lizhi's mission to the China-Myanmar border is very hard. Roughly, she will have to stay there for at least half a month."

Poppy let out an "oh" and said, "I heard that the Golden Triangle area is more dangerous than before. Sister Li Zhi and Miss A Liang should be careful during this trip."

Ah Liang stabbed her immediately: "Stop pretending to be kind!"

Poppy didn't take it seriously, and just smiled gently.

Poppy held an umbrella, quietly watching the two of them get into the car and drive away.When there was no one left, Lu Ming stood next to her and said in a low voice, "The girl Ah Ming from yesterday is gone."

Poppy stood there motionless, with a slender figure, as if she didn't hear it.Lu Ming also said: "This Ah Ming had a good relationship with Li Zhi before, and now he has a good relationship with Ah Liang. He is a double-faced character. Yesterday, he was hung up to beat her, and one of his subordinates accidentally beat her so hard that she couldn't breathe. Come up, people will be gone.”

When Lu Ming said this, he admitted that he was somewhat flattering.Chu Xing didn't say the extent of the beating yesterday. He tried to figure out the temperament of that ancestor and the ancestor in front of him, so he turned a blind eye to Ah Ming's life and death.It's just that Lu Ming didn't expect that Poppy would refuse to accept her, or that she might be very satisfied in her heart, but she seemed very dissatisfied on the surface, and said gently and slowly: "But no matter how double-faced, Ah Ming is not guilty of death." Mr. Lu was so careless, he was too cruel."

"..."

Lu Ming was so sore by her words for a moment that his teeth hurt.Anyone who said these words was considered appropriate, but this person in front of him really made him feel hypocritical.However, he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only answer "yes" in a vague way.Poppy glanced at him, and added solemnly: "I mean it seriously."

Lu Ming: "..."

He looked at her speechlessly for a long while, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Okay. Then tell me honestly, what are you going to do if you come to deal with this kind of thing?"

Poppy thought for a while, smiled, turned and left.After walking two steps, the words floated in the wind: "The difference between life and death is too great. I don't take the life of myself. I don't have to, I won't see the dead with my own eyes."
