Chapter 55: A Cold Expression, As If His Face Was Covered With a Layer of Ice

Su Qianxun buried her head into Long Sijue’s chest like an ostrich and was too afraid to simply move around. As a grown young woman, she truly found it embarrassing to be carried by a man like that.
Tang Zui looked at Long Sijue as he carried the chick like she was his treasure. His expression was not as relaxed as it previously was. On the contrary, his gaze was solemn and worried. This was an expression rarely seen on him.
After they reached the dining room, with her on his lap, Long Sijue massaged Su Qianxun’s thighs for a while more. He only let her take a seat beside him when he was certain that her legs were not numb anymore.
Long Sijue and Tang Zui were discussing business matters, so Su Qianxun ate by herself. But her chopsticks fell several times within a few minutes.
Su Qianxun dropped her chopsticks on her plate again and created an ear-piercing sound. She lost track of how many times it had happened.
She could sense that everyone was looking at her. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide inside it.
“Sorry… I-I’m full.” Su Qianxun immediately placed her chopsticks back in their original position and decided to stop eating.
Because Long Sijue had been discussing business matters with Tang Zui, he was not paying attention to her unusual behavior. He knew what was going on the moment he glanced at her.
He lifted her hand up and gently massaged her fingers. “Are your fingers sore?”
She massaged him for quite a long time earlier, so it was normal for her fingers to be sore.
“It’s nothing, I’m full now. You guys enjoy your meal.” Su Qianxun wanted to withdraw her hand.
Long Sijue directly pulled her to his side and let her sit on his lap.
Su Qianxun was rendered speechless.
Long Sijue used his own chopsticks to grab a piece of vegetable. He placed it beside her mouth.
Tang Zui choked on his wine and started to cough. Long Sijue let a girl sit on his lap and fed her personally. This information was far too maddening. If he were to tell Si Mancheng about it, that guy would definitely not believe it!
Little did Tang Zui know that this was not the first time it had happened.
…..
Inside the study room.
When Tang Zui returned from the dining room, his expression was extremely solemn. He did not even pay attention to Long Sijue who was assigning a few tasks to him.
Long Sijue knocked his fingers against the table in a displeased manner, and only then did Tang Zui come back to his senses..
“Jue, don’t tell me that you are into that chick.” Tang Zui stared at him.
“Ha, do you think that’s possible?” Long Sijue asked ironically in reply.
“I just want to remind you that she’s only a tool. If you really fall for her, things will get a lot more complicated.” Tang Zui looked at him with an extremely earnest expression.
“Tool.” Long Sijue relished the word as he spoke it, curling up his lips in a mocking manner.
Tang Zui was rendered speechless.
In the meantime, the butler and Su Qianxun were standing outside the door.
The butler nodded slightly at Su Qianxun. He then turned and left.
Su Qianxun was about to leave when Long Sijue’s cold voice suddenly rang out. “Come in!”
Su Qianxun froze.
When did he discover that she was outside the room?
She had no choice but to enter the study room. Tang Zui froze for a moment when he saw the young woman’s sudden appearance. He immediately recalled the conversation he had with Long Sijue just now, and felt a little guilty for some reason.
“What’s up?” Long Sijue took out a cigarette and lit it. He then started smoking.
“I just-just wanted to ask you… when-when you are going back to… rest.” Su Qianxun stuttered, her head hung low like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.
“Anything else?” Long Sijue exhaled a puff of smoke and gazed at her with his deep eyes.
Su Qianxun quickly shook her head. “Nothing!”
“Ha, go back, take a bath and wait for me.” Long Sijue’s voice grew colder.
Su Qianxun’s face immediately reddened. She nodded in a flustered manner before turning around and running all the way to the bedroom.
“Jue…”
“You’ve got no more business here!” Long Sijue turned on the computer beside his hand. His expression was cold, as if his face was covered with a layer of ice.
Tang Zui was rather baffled as he looked at the man who suddenly got angry. ‘He was alright just a moment ago, why is he so angry all of a sudden?’
