Chapter 155: The distance of the heart is very far 2

"Xue Jiu, what do you think is the background of our Cold Bodyguard? Why do I feel like he has so many secrets?" On the sofa, whilst watching TV, Li Mengjie suddenly spoke with a face full of curiosity.

Ling Xuejiu responded irritably, "How would I know!" However, upon being asked by Li Mengjie, she actually became a bit curious herself and thought, "Hmm, I should find a chance to ask Grandpa!"

"Oh, I’m going to take a bath too. Walking around all day really wore me out!" Li Mengjie, having received no interesting response, got up and went upstairs.

Even though there was a separate shower room on the first floor, Ling Xuejiu preferred to bathe in her room. Now that Li Mengjie had gone, she was left to watch TV.

Leng Xuan’s bathing time was relatively short. After coming out, seeing that Miss Ling was watching TV alone, he didn’t speak and went straight to the fridge to grab a can of Coke, ready to head to his room.

Ling Xuejiu felt really frustrated. Leng Xuan had barely glanced at her before completely ignoring her presence. Did she have no attraction to him at all? She deliberately hummed a few times but, seeing that Leng Xuan didn’t even give her a glance, her temper flared up and she said, "Leng Xuan, I want some red wine. Pour me a glass, will you?"

"Hm?" Leng Xuan paused for a moment. He had just reached his room door and was actually very annoyed. If it had been Li Mengjie who said that, he might have responded with, ’Can’t you get it yourself?’ But as for Ling Xuejiu, he certainly didn’t want to provoke her, because she was even more unreasonable than Li Mengjie, and he definitely didn’t want to engage in a war of words with her. Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

Straight-faced, he responded with a lackluster "Oh," went to the wine cabinet, and faced an array of expensive red wines, unsure which one to choose. Out of helplessness, he grabbed a bottle of ’82 Lafite worth forty to fifty thousand, opened it, poured about one-third into a wine glass, and brought it over to Ling Xuejiu.

Ling Xuejiu never dreamed that Leng Xuan would actually listen to her. Theoretically, she should have been happy, but seeing his expressionless face, her heart suddenly felt an inexplicable twinge of sourness. She didn’t reach for the glass, instead pouted, and said, "What, pouring me a glass of wine is that much of a bother for you?"

Leng Xuan saw she wasn’t taking the glass, so he gently placed it on the white coffee table in front of Ling Xuejiu and said indifferently, "Miss Ling, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my room." With that, he turned around, went back to his room, and closed the door neither softly nor heavily.

Staring at Leng Xuan’s bedroom door, Ling Xuejiu’s emotions were in turmoil, like a bottle of mixed flavors had been knocked over, leaving her with a concoction of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy feelings. Did Leng Xuan really dislike her that much? It was just pouring a glass of wine; did he need to give her such an attitude? Why wasn’t he so cold when Xiao Jie asked him to do things? Could it be that she, Ling Xuejiu, couldn’t compare to Xiao Jie?

Thinking this, Li Mengjie truly felt wronged. If she hadn’t been controlling herself so well, she might have burst into tears on the spot. No longer in the mood to watch TV, she went upstairs to her desk, took out a book to read, but found herself too agitated to focus. So, she got up, walked to the bed, and stared blankly at the poster of the God of Wind Racing Team pinned above her bedstead.

On the poster, Wang Shuze’s handsome face and his faint smile were so charming. How many times had Miss Ling’s heart fluttered because of that smile? However, today, for some reason, she couldn’t immerse herself in the thought of what Wang Shuze might have been like when he posed for this photo. And as she kept looking, her vision started to blur, and suddenly, Wang Shuze’s face distorted slightly, and moments later, it morphed into the likeness of Leng Xuan!
