The dinner had been delivered to the table for a long time, and the dishes were already cold, but Yan Yijing didn't even move.

His gaze stayed on the opposite side, where Liang Chen used to sit before.

The same dishes as his were placed there, but the seats were empty.

The atmosphere was very silent for a while...

The servants were all trembling, hiding in a place that Yan Yijing could not see and waiting for orders.

Time passed by, and the situation was at a stalemate. The servants all looked to the butler for help, hoping that he could set an example and let this matter end quickly.

Otherwise, no one will be able to rest tonight.

The housekeeper had no choice but to muster up the courage to go forward, and said respectfully, "Young Master Yan, the food is cold, let me replace it for you."

"No need." Yan Yijing interrupted the housekeeper coldly, "Wake up the wine and send it to the study."

Then he got up and left the dining table. The butler was hesitant to say something, but in the end he could only follow his orders.

After all, the dinner was withdrawn, and no one ate it from the beginning to the end.

The butler went to sober up according to Yan Yijing's instructions, and carried it upstairs to the study.

The study room had the same light as usual, but the person who was supposed to be busy as usual was sitting in his seat at this moment, looking to the other side of the room.

There is the place where Liang Chen nestles and reads. It is different from the seriousness of the office area here, and it is a little warmer.

The original black leather sofa was replaced with a beige fabric sofa today, just because the temperature has dropped and winter is coming.

This is the first light-colored piece of furniture to appear in the house...

It was incompatible with the decoration of this study, but Yan Yijing arranged it like this.

The butler delivered the wine to his desk, and carefully warned, "Master, you didn't eat dinner, so drink less wine on an empty stomach, it hurts your stomach."

Yan Yijing turned a blind eye to it, poured himself a cup and drank it.

The housekeeper did not leave immediately, but stood aside and watched Yan Yijing worryingly.

He drank up a bottle of sober red wine in a short time.

But Yan Yijing didn't intend to stop, and continued to tell him, "Open another bottle."

"Young master, drink in moderation, otherwise it will hurt your health." The housekeeper really tried his best to advise.

Yan Yijing glanced coldly, and was thrown at the butler's feet, "When will I be restricted from drinking?"

"Master, I'm not restricting you, it's for your own good..." the butler explained in a cold sweat.

It's just that Yan Yijing won't listen to this kind of explanation, "Go get some wine."

The butler knew that he was powerless to persuade him, so he could only prepare wine for him.

Yan Yijing just drank two bottles of wine in a row. The red wine had a lot of stamina, and he was a little drunk, but he still asked the housekeeper to prepare the wine.

"Master, it's getting late, you'd better rest, drink this wine some other day."

"Get the wine!"

Yan Yijing almost growled.

Another one was smashed at the butler's feet.

The butler had no choice but to leave again, but this time, he didn't go to the wine cellar to get the wine, but went directly to Liang Chen's room.

Although it was late, Liang Chen hadn't rested yet. She was sitting on the window looking at the night outside in a daze.

When the door rang, she was stunned for a moment, and asked nervously, "Who is it?"

"Miss Chihiro, it's me."

The butler's voice came from outside, Liang Chen heaved a sigh of relief, went down the window to open the door, and asked politely, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"Miss Qianxun hasn't eaten tonight. I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I prepared some supper. Please, Miss Qianxun, go downstairs to eat." mood.

Liang Chen checked the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. At this point before, most of the housekeepers and servants had already rested.

During dinner, she told the servant who invited her to eat that she was not hungry, so she stopped eating.

But she didn't know that because of her refusal to eat, these people were worried, and she still hadn't rested so late.

In the end, Liang Chen felt a little conscientious, so he agreed to the butler, "Okay, I'll be down right away, thank you."

"Okay." After getting the answer he wanted, the housekeeper turned and left.

Liang Chen put on a coat outside and opened the door and went downstairs. She felt that it was so late, there should be no one else, so she didn't have to be so scruples like during the day.

But her idea was completely wrong!
The whole house was brightly lit, and everyone did not rest, including Yan Yijing!
After he urged the butler to go to the wine cellar to get the wine again, the butler came back empty-handed.

He was about to get angry, but the housekeeper told him very calmly, "Miss Qianxun went downstairs to eat supper, and the young master's dinner is useless, why don't you go and have supper, it's better than drinking."

"...I won't eat it." Yan Yijing coldly refused.

After hearing this, the butler didn't persuade him much, "Then young master, go to bed earlier, I'll go and prepare a supper for Miss Qianxun first."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and opened the door to leave the study, but when he reached the door, he heard Yan Yijing's voice from behind, "...I'm hungry."

"What do you want to eat, young master? I'll prepare it." The butler turned around, as if he had expected the result, so he wasn't too surprised, and still looked calm and calm.

"Just prepare whatever you want."

"Yes."

The butler went downstairs to order the servants to prepare, and after a while, the supper was ready.

Yan Yijing came downstairs, at first he didn't see Liang Chen, his expression was still a little cold, and he was about to explode.

Liang Chen appeared in his line of sight, and the originally arrogant and vigorous flame died down in an instant.

The butler ordered the servants to serve the meal, and then said to Liang Chen, "Miss Qianxun, please take a seat."

Liang Chen stood there firmly, looking at Yan Yijing with some confusion.

She had been hiding from Yan Yijing all day, from breakfast to night, she thought she had avoided Yan Yijing, but she didn't want to run into him before the end of the day.

That kind of defeated heart made her lower her head, avoid Yan Yijing's gaze, and sat down with a guilty conscience.

The dinner was delicious and exquisite, but she didn't move for a long time, staring at the dinner in a daze.

Yan Yi was so surprised that he started to eat, as usual, slowly.

"Do you eat with your eyes?"

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Yijing still spoke, breaking the silence.

Liang Chen quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating. She wanted to finish eating as quickly as possible and then say goodnight to Yan Yijing before hiding in her room.

Yan Yijing saw this little thought clearly, but he didn't stop him, just continued to eat.

Some people who started eating tomorrow night finished eating first, Liang Chen hurriedly thanked Yan Yijing and said good night, and wanted to sneak back to his room quickly.

Yan Yijing said calmly, "You are avoiding me today."

"... Yan Shao thought about it, I didn't hide from you, I just felt a little uncomfortable." Liang Chen frantically found an excuse.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Yan Yijing always likes to solve problems face to face, and speaks very directly.

Liang Chen felt that his smirk could no longer be maintained, "I didn't hide from you, I was really uncomfortable, I just had a bad appetite..."

"Remember our contract?"

contract?

Liang Chen didn't react for a while.

Yan Yijing put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, then raised his eyes, looked at her like a hunter looking at prey, and said, "It's a verbal agreement between us, you must be there whenever you are called."

"……Remember."

"Just remember."

After finishing this sentence, Yan Yijing went upstairs.

Liang Chen was thrown in the dining room by him, with a dazed look on his face.

The servants began to clear the table one after another, while the butler came over and said to Liang Chen, "Miss Qianxun, I want to talk to you."

Liang Chen didn't even know what the housekeeper wanted to talk to him about, but obviously she couldn't avoid it, so she could only nod in agreement.

When the servants withdrew, leaving only the housekeeper and Liang Chen, he said blankly, "Although I don't like Miss Qianxun, after all, you are a guest invited by the young master, and I will take good care of you. I have seen everything that happened, I don't know what purpose Miss Qianxun has for approaching the young master, but I hope that Miss Qianxun will not affect the young master."

It's not an accusation, it's just a straightforward statement, but Liang Chen was embarrassed for a while.

She has never had a position, whether it is self-cognition or the housekeeper's opinion.

It was this kind of cognition and opinion that made her suddenly wake up.

Facing her silence, the butler did not stop, but continued, "Young master rarely contacts the outside world. Although he has achieved success in his career, he is blank in other fields. As a person who has taken care of him for a long time The old housekeeper for several years, I just hope that Miss Qianxun will not break this balance."

This is a request from the steward.

After he finished speaking, he left.

But Liang Chen stood there for a long time without regaining consciousness...

After returning to the room, her heart was even more flustered.

Today's estrangement is because she had a dream last night that she dared not even think about.

She dreamed that she and Yan Yijing were walking in that beautiful garden holding hands, both of them were smiling happily.

She even dreamed that Yan Yijing told her, "You are special."

After waking up, she was in a cold sweat, but she felt a great sense of loss.

This sense of loss can keep her awake, so she avoids Yan Yijing.

The housekeeper's words made her understand her position even more.

She and Yan Yijing are not from the same world.

So...don't think about anything.

***
Liang Chen had returned to normal, but Yan Yijing was on a business trip.

It was another week without returning. This time, Qingchen was very grateful for the distance, which made her calm down gradually.

During this period, she received a call from Lao Deng to meet her.

After talking to the butler, she went out.

This is the first time she has gone out since she lived here for half a month, and seeing the commotion outside, she felt like waking up from a dream.

Different from that quiet world, the turmoil here disturbs people, but it can also keep people awake.

In the teahouse, Lao Deng asked her, "You have been there for half a month, how is the matter going?"

"Everything is going well." Liang Chen didn't explain too much, and only gave these four words.

Lao Deng nodded, as if he was satisfied with her answer.

But Liang Chen seemed conflicted, "Can you tell me now, what do you want me to get for you?"

Lao Deng just shook his head when he heard about it, "I still don't believe it now, it's only been half a month, Yan Yijing can't trust you, you can't complete this task."

"But……"

"I know him better than you do."

Liang Chen fell silent.

Seeing her frustrated, Lao Deng did not forget to encourage her, "But you can get his permission to live in his house, which is already a great improvement. You don't have to worry, things always take your time. Only then can we win steadily.”
