Chapter 509: The Three Campus Beauties in One Play 5

Thinking of this, Ling Xuejiu couldn’t help but want to drink away her sorrows alone, pouring and sipping by herself. At first, no one noticed, but after she had downed several glasses, Li Mengjie finally realized something was amiss and asked softly, "Xue Jiu, why are you drinking so much?"

"Hmm?" Ling Xuejiu certainly wasn’t going to reveal the reason, and said, "Oh, it’s nothing. I just felt like drinking!"

Li Mengjie said with a giggly voice, "Well~! Then you should eat more too. Look at all the delicious food the Cold Bodyguard cooked; it would be such a waste not to eat it."

Ling Xuejiu looked at Leng Xuan with a touch of melancholy and found that he was also looking at her. She couldn’t help but pout a bit, then picked up her glass and continued drinking.

Leng Xuan felt a strange sensation in his heart. What’s wrong with the young mistress? She seems a bit unhappy, doesn’t she? Shaking his head, he found the thoughts of girls baffling. He then served Su Yurou some dishes and said, "Yurou, eat more."

"Okay, Brother Leng Xuan, you eat more too," Su Yurou also served Leng Xuan some dishes. The two of them were being especially affectionate to each other, leaving Ling Xuejiu feeling even more upset, and even Li Mengjie was feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Xue Jiu, since you want to drink, let me keep you company," Li Mengjie raised her glass and clinked it with Ling Xuejiu’s!

Already slightly tipsy, Ling Xuejiu said, "Mm, Xiao Jie is so good to me!"

Hearing this, Leng Xuan broke into a sweat. What did the young mistress mean by that? There were only four people here. Since Yurou and she were not close, it probably wouldn’t bother her if Yurou wasn’t nice to her, right? So, did the young mistress imply that he was the one not being nice to her? But, why should he be nice to her anyway, and more importantly, did a young mistress like her need a bodyguard to be nice to her?

Thinking thus, Leng Xuan felt a bit bewildered, and there was also an indescribable feeling inside him. If the person sitting opposite him weren’t the young mistress but another girl, he might have thought she was interested in him. However, considering Ling Xuejiu’s identity, he dismissed the possibility and let out a wry smile, not taking it to heart.

But as an outsider, Su Yurou vaguely sensed something. The sense of crisis she had felt earlier grew stronger, although she didn’t show it on her face.

The dinner was clearly not very pleasant for either Ling Xuejiu or Su Yurou. After the meal, Su Yurou took a short rest and then wanted to go home. Leng Xuan also sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right, so he didn’t try to persuade her to stay. He simply said to Ling Xuejiu, "Miss, let me walk Yurou out." Ling Xuejiu didn’t say anything, but in a show of generosity, nodded. Thus, Leng Xuan walked Su Yurou out.

"Brother Leng Xuan!" After they left Ling Xuejiu’s villa, Su Yurou suddenly turned around and said to Leng Xuan, "You don’t need to walk me back. I’ll be fine on my own."

"Hehe, it’s no trouble. It’s not that far anyway," Leng Xuan said with a smile and continued walking forward.

With no other choice, Su Yurou hastened her steps to follow. How much she wished for Brother Leng Xuan to accompany her on the walk! However, during the meal, she could vaguely sense that her presence seemed to have displeased Ling Xuejiu. She was worried that Ling Xuejiu might trouble Brother Leng Xuan afterward, after all, she was Brother Leng Xuan’s employer!
