She wasn’t deliberately trying to embarrass this woman, but this typical female-dominated woman opened a vent for her many hidden angers. She watched coldly, even if she was completely unaware – Xu Wan’s departure and her own fall to this place, she had indirect credit. Of course, she didn’t hate her, she never hated anyone, moreover, who would hate someone they barely knew? She just momentarily vented, and Qu Xiaojue happened to be in the line of fire. Forget it, today’s matter can happen once but not again. Regarding Xu Wan’s matter, he had already shown anger twice, which was enough. As for herself, no one could help her. If she couldn’t accept fate, why not bet everything? Lanterns of pale yellow were lit throughout the Qu family compound, which to someone who had enjoyed modern lighting seemed not bright at all, carefully watching her steps, not really a matter of technique or vision. Qi’er insisted on coming with her and was taken away by a young man after arriving, seeming quite familiar, so she let her go freely. At this moment, a thin figure holding a lantern at the gate kept looking this way. She pursed her lips and walked over. Suddenly a cold shout came from behind: “Stop!” This voice was none other than the “wife master” she had just parted with.
Manner of Death
Footsteps behind her were heavy and steady, gradually becoming clear, bringing a somewhat solemn atmosphere. Knowing she was being called, Xu Wanzhi paused, waving to Qi’er who had heard the noise in the distance, then turned to look at the woman walking out of the shadows. Her expression was serious, her eyebrows slightly lowered, staring directly at her.
Qu Xiaojue suppressed her anger, not understanding why he treated her this way. If it was because of that person… he should understand that such actions would only place him in a more embarrassing situation. However, standing in the night, he turned his head politely at her call, slightly raising an eyebrow. Before she even approached, he casually pulled his sleeve, neither shrinking nor depressed.
He was completely unaffected by her emotions. Xu Wanzhi slightly turned her head: “Something else?”
“Husband.”
