Hearing how concerned she was about him, Ling Yijue was reluctant to meet his adoptive father. But now, he felt that his bad mood had been cured by her smile and concern.
The gloominess on his face disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Don't worry, nothing will happen to us. Wait for us to come back for dinner tonight."
"Okay." Tang Xiaowei nodded.
Ling Yijue got up happily and walked to her side. He couldn't help but reach out to rub her hair. Before she could refuse, he withdrew his hand, gave her a big smile, and turned to leave the restaurant.
Tang Xiaowei originally wanted to warn him not to carelessly touch her head in the future, but before she could say it, she watched him leave.
She sighed. It would be better to warn him again next time.
So, she lowered her head and continued to eat lunch.
However, she didn't know that the scene of Ling Yijue sitting with her at lunch and Ling Yijue reaching out to touch her head was captured by someone in the corner of the second floor with a cell phone.
The person who took the photo angrily took the photo and returned to his room.
"Young master, look, Miss Tang was having dinner with a young man downstairs. The two of them are very intimate."
Yuan Qi passed the video he took to Huangfu Qiye, who was still unable to get out of bed.
Huangfu Qiye had not slept since he woke up in the early morning. Therefore, he really wanted to see Tang Xiaowei, so he asked Yuan Qi to stand guard at the door. If he saw Tang Xiaowei, he would tell him.
He did not expect that Yuan Qi, who had been waiting outside for the whole morning, would take the video of her having dinner with another man.
Just listening to it made Huangfu Qiye feel angry.
He snatched his phone and tapped on the screen to play it.
Sure enough, even though they were quite far away, they could still clearly see that in the scene that Yuan Qi was recording, Tang Xiaowei was indeed having dinner with a young man.
Furthermore, in the end, this man even reached out to touch Tang Xiaowei's head.
More importantly, this man was obviously the same man that he had met on the street earlier who was looking at him with a murderous gaze.
At the banquet yesterday, this man had rushed onto the stage with him, wanting to take Xiaowei away.
Huangfu Qiye's expression became more and more unsightly.
He could not care less about the fact that his injuries had not recovered at all. He lifted the blanket and immediately got off the bed.
However, just as his feet touched the ground and before he could stand up, he pulled on his wound, causing him to furrow his brows in pain.
When Yuan Qi saw this, he hurriedly came over to help him up. "Young Master, where do you want to go? Is it the bathroom?"
"Go downstairs and chase away the bees!" He wanted to chase away the other men beside Tang Xiaowei, the 'bees' that he had mentioned.
Yuan Qi did not understand for a moment. "Young master, there are no bees kept downstairs in this ancient castle."
"IDdiot!" Huangfu Qiye snorted coldly. "Help me up and go downstairs!"
Yuan Qi did not dare to do that at all. He was both afraid and worried. "But young master, your wound is very serious and has not recovered yet. You have not even gone to the hospital. The doctor here said that you can not move your body at will. At the very least, you can only move freely after your wound has healed."
"Shut up!" Huangfu Qiye roared angrily.
His woman was about to be cheated away by someone else. Could he still care about such a small wound?
Yuan Qi had a pig's brain!
Yuan Qi felt wronged by the roar, but he didn't dare to continue to stop him. He could only carefully help his young master out of the door.
With every step Huangfu Qiye took, he felt as if the wound on his abdomen had been torn open again. He could even feel that blood was flowing out of the wound again.
But this small wound and small amount of blood were nothing. His woman was about to be taken away by someone else. If he didn't keep an eye on her, he would have been stabbed 12 times last night for nothing.
"Yuan Qi, go and find out who that man is." He gritted his teeth and endured the pain as he instructed his bodyguard.
Yuan Qi nodded.
Only then did Huangfu Qiye walk to the elevator door with relief.
Although he was currently living on the second floor and could walk down the stairs, his injuries were serious, so it was more convenient for him to take the elevator.
And downstairs.
Tang Xiaowei had already finished her lunch.
Because she was a little full, she did not want to go back to her room. She wanted to take a walk downstairs to understand the situation here and digest her food.
Therefore, after lunch, she went to the bathroom on the first floor. She planned to wash her hands and go to the lawn and the garden full of roses outside to take a look.
After washing her hands, she raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.
At first, she just wanted to see if there was anything on her face that needed to be washed. However, when she raised her head, she saw that not only her face was reflected in the mirror, but another face was also reflected there.
Moreover, it was actually him...Huangfu Qiye!
"Ah!" she jumped in fright and turned around. Her back was tightly pressed against the sink, and her face was full of fear.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Huangfu Qiye did not expect to scare her, so he hurriedly tried to comfort her.
Tang Xiaowei was still in a state of shock.
She looked at him in a daze, extremely surprised.
Why was he here?
After he was stabbed by her yesterday, was he not sent to the hospital?
She thought that he should have been sent to the hospital last night, so she would never see him again.
However, she didn't expect that even though his wounds seemed to have been bandaged, he was still inside the castle.
Her gaze swept over the place where he was injured, and then she looked away with difficulty. She found that he was only wearing a coat, but he wasn't wearing anything inside because the bandages had already tied his entire chest and abdomen. So, his injuries were serious.
However, the more serious the injury, the better.
She said in a cold and hard tone, "You didn't leave, but continued to stay here. What is your purpose?"
"You should know very well why I stayed." Huangfu Qiye didn't expect her to be so cold to him.
He had explained last night that the murderer wasn't him. Although he hadn't proven it, at least she should have wavered. Moreover, he was willing to be stabbed by her.
He thought that she wouldn't misunderstand him like before. At least, she would believe him.
But now, she seemed to distrust him completely.
She still thought that the murderer was him.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Qiye felt as if his heart was going crazy.
"How would I know why?" Tang Xiaowei finally looked at him after he said this, but her gaze was cold. She warned coldly, "The enmity between you and me was cleared last night. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for finding trouble with you in the future. Also, I want to warn you, don't set any traps for me, Uncle Tian, Ah jue, and the others. Otherwise, I won't just stab you with scissors."
