Chapter 17 Departure



When Yue Lanxing returned the books to Butler Xu, Butler Xu was surprised and asked him a few questions, which Yue Lanxing answered. As a result, Butler Xu lent him several more books, including English books and an English dictionary.

That night, Yue Lanxing buried himself in his studies in his room. He not only had a photographic memory but could also read ten lines at a glance. He first glanced through the dictionary and then could recognize most of the meanings when reading the book.

The next morning, after Yue Lanxing finished breakfast, she read for a while. Once her stomach had almost digested, she put on the suit she had prepared earlier, and her hairstyle was the one she had just learned last time.

When Yue Lanxing came out of the room, Xu Zhaoyue was reading a newspaper on the sofa. She only turned around and saw Yue Lanxing after hearing Xiao Nan mutter something behind her.

Xu Zhaoyue then realized that Xiao Nan was marveling at Yue Lanxing's appearance and temperament. Not only her, but also the maids who were quietly peeking out from the kitchen, regardless of their behavior, even Xu Zhaoyue herself felt a little flutter in her heart when she saw Yue Lanxing walking towards her.

She even had the illusion that Yue Lanxing was watching her walk over, then standing in front of her, bowing her head, and respectfully saying, "Good morning, Miss."

Xu Zhaoyue nodded. "Good morning. It seems you had a good rest yesterday. You look radiant today."

When Yue Lanxing looked in the mirror early in the morning, he was also puzzled. He had only slept for about four or five hours, but he didn't feel tired at all when he woke up. The young lady even praised him for his good spirits. "Young lady, is there anything I need to do before we set off?"

Xu Zhaoyue took a sip of tea. Seeing how respectful he was, she thought that the feeling of him walking towards her earlier must have been an illusion. Was it just the reflection from his glasses?

Or was it because she wanted to see Yue Lanxing come for her that she felt he had a light about him? Xu Zhaoyue has always been good at analyzing herself, and only with a clear understanding of herself can she control her own abilities.

"Please sit down, Xiao Nan, serve tea." Xu Zhaoyue instructed Xiao Nan to pour tea for Yue Lanxing. The teapot was on the table, but Yue Lanxing didn't seem to need to pour tea herself.

When Yue Lanxing saw Xiao Nan come over to pour him tea, he quickly stood up slightly to thank her, "Thank you!" He held the cup with both hands, and after the tea was poured, he placed his hands on his knees.

The more low-key Yue Lanxing was, the more Xu Zhaoyue wanted to watch. Sure enough, people with high nose bridges look good in any glasses. The color of her lips was light, and her thin lips looked a bit sharp. Her face now exuded a powerful aura.

After calming himself down, Yue Lanxing noticed the young lady's gaze. He looked up, wondering if he should start a conversation, and met Xu Zhaoyue's eyes. For some reason, he felt that the young lady's attention to him when he wore a suit had increased dramatically.

Xu Zhaoyue was caught red-handed, but she casually looked away, as if nothing had happened. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, the other person would think it was just a normal eye contact. "Wait a minute, go tell Xue Huzi to come along too. We're leaving at ten o'clock."

"Is it... nine o'clock now?" Xu Zhaoyue glanced at her watch. She needed to change her clothes. "Xiao Nan, go put the gifts in the car. I'm going upstairs first." Xu Zhaoyue was about to get up and leave when she saw Yue Lanxing getting up to see her off, so she stopped.

"Finish your tea and wait downstairs. Relax and don't be too nervous." After saying that, he got up and went upstairs.

"Yes, Miss." Yue Lanxing watched as the young lady returned to her room, then went out to inform Xue Huzi. After waiting outside for Xiao Nan to put the gifts in the car, she sat back down on the sofa.

He had just come out of the room and immediately saw the young lady sitting on the sofa. He didn't know if he guessed it from seeing Xiao Nan standing behind her, or if he found her by instinct.

Yue Lanxing picked up his teacup and took a sip. This must be the young lady's favorite tea. He sipped it slowly and suddenly remembered why he hadn't noticed earlier that the young lady was dressed in casual clothes and looked beautiful even without being dressed up.

Thinking of this, he smiled. Perhaps he had been too focused on the young lady's face. Just like when they met at the dock, the young lady could tell that she was a young lady just by standing there, without needing any external embellishment.

Yue Lanxing only drank that one cup of tea and then stopped. He sat there quietly waiting. If Xu Zhaoyue were here and saw him like this, she would definitely sigh in her heart. His sculpted figure and face were actually her bodyguard. It was just what she wanted.

"Knock knock knock..." Xu Zhaoyue tapped the railing with the ring on her hand. Yue Lanxing immediately turned around when she heard her voice. She had thought Yue Lanxing had been acupunctured because she had seen her not moving.

Yue Lanxing turned around and saw that it was the young lady upstairs. He immediately jumped up from the sofa. He was amazed. Even though he was usually oblivious to things like clothes and appearances, he could immediately tell that he was amazed.

Xu Zhaoyue is wearing green today. Just looking at the clothes, you can feel a fresh, healing and tranquil feeling. However, she curled her hair and created big waves at the ends. Her makeup is also fresh and doesn't highlight any strong features.

Of course, Yue Lanxing wouldn't observe that closely; he probably has no concept of color schemes at all. But this young lady is different from the others; it's such a strange feeling.

Xu Zhaoyue laughed when she saw that he still didn't move after turning around. She tapped the railing with her ring again. "Alright, it's about time. Let's go."

These words floated lightly through Yue Lanxing's mind, lingering in his thoughts for a few moments. They sounded like a coquettish remark, not genuine. Yue Lanxing was multitasking, his mind preoccupied with other things, but his legs had already moved on. By the time he came to his senses, he had already reached the stairwell.
