Keeping asking Cheng Yuesheng why she was angry might not lead to any results. It was obvious that she didn't want him to know.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Qin Heque pushed the flowers and gift box in front of Cheng Yuesheng, "See if you like it."
Qin Heque's decision not to ask further questions made her feel even more guilty, but she couldn't say the reason for her sadness.
She looked into his gentle eyes and followed his words to change the subject.
"What a beautiful bouquet," she exclaimed.
"How do you like it?"
"Yeah, it looks very nice." Cheng Yuesheng nodded.
The smile on Qin Heque's face became obvious. "I'm glad you like it. Open the box and take a look."
Cheng Yuesheng looked at the velvet gift box. It was obviously jewelry. When she thought of the two sets of jewelry he had given her before, her scalp tingled.
"What kind of jewelry is this?"
"Open it and you'll see."
Cheng Yuesheng had no choice but to open the gift box. When she saw the sapphire necklace inside, she was silent for a while.
"Is this a sapphire?"
"Yes, do you like it?"
Cheng Yuesheng closed the gift box and asked in confusion, "Why do you always give me jewelry lately? You've already given me two sets."
Qin Heque seemed to remember something. His eyes changed and he continued, "Giving you jewelry is better than giving it to you by others."
Cheng Yuesheng didn't quite understand what he said, "What do you mean?"
Anyone else want to give her jewelry?
"Nothing much. Do you like the necklace?"
Cheng Yuesheng frowned and said with some embarrassment: "It's too expensive. You have already given me two sets of expensive jewelry before."
The implication is to refuse.
After all, in Cheng Yuesheng's view, the two of them would separate sooner or later, and this time it was clearly her fault, so how could she let Qin Heque bleed so much.
Unexpectedly, Qin Heque said, "You don't want to accept it, don't you want to forgive me?"
Cheng Yuesheng immediately shook his head. "You didn't do anything wrong. I was angry at you because of my own fault. How could I accept such an expensive gift from you?"
"In my opinion, it's my fault that you took your anger out on me. If I really didn't do anything wrong, why would you be in a bad mood?" He looked at Cheng Yuesheng tenderly, "You've been staying in the manor these past few days. Everyone likes you and gets along well with you. You only started to feel bad after I came back, so it must be my fault."
Cheng Yuesheng was afraid that if he continued to analyze her, he would guess why she was in a bad mood, so she immediately said, "I accept the necklace."
"Brother Que, you didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who got stuck on it. The necklace is beautiful. Thank you for the gift. I won't be angry anymore."
After hearing her words, Qin Heque finally felt relieved, but he still felt that something was wrong. However, looking at Cheng Yuesheng's expression, he knew that he would not be able to get anything out of her, so he gave up trying to get to the bottom of it.
He raised his hand and rubbed the top of Cheng Yuesheng's head, saying, "I hope Shengsheng is happy all the time. I don't want to see you angry or sad. Didn't Doctor Mo tell you not to think too much? It's not good for your health. You have to listen to the doctor's advice."
Cheng Yuesheng looked at his serious expression and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Seeing that Cheng Yuesheng agreed to him, Qin Heque stopped dwelling on the matter and asked him about what happened before he entered Cheng Yuesheng's room.
"What were you thinking about before? I stood at the door of your room for a long time, and you didn't notice."
Cheng Yuesheng was stunned. She didn't expect that he would stand at the door for a while in order not to disturb her.
"I received a message from Teacher Wu. She sent me the contact information of Cheng Jiu's former classmates and also sent me a few photos."
Cheng Yuesheng took out her cell phone and opened the chat page between her and Cheng Jiu to show Qin Heque.
Qin Heque skipped over the contact information of Cheng Jiu's classmates and clicked on the photos to observe them carefully for a while. The photos were a bit old and not very clear. Moreover, they were retaken and sent by a mobile phone, so it was even harder to make out anything. Apart from a girl who looked somewhat similar to Cheng Yuesheng, there was no one special in the photo.
"This must be Cheng Jiu, right?" Qin Heque asked, pointing at the girl in the photo who looked a bit like Cheng Yuesheng.
"Yes, Teacher Wu said she is Cheng Jiu."
"You two do have some similarities, but the world is so big that there are many people who look alike. But she has the same surname as you, Cheng." They look similar and have the same surname, so it is very likely that they are related by blood.
"Send me the photos and the contact information of Cheng Jiu's classmates. I'll ask someone to check it out."
"Okay." Cheng Yuesheng quickly sent several messages to Qin Heque's phone. She added, "Teacher Wu said she can't return to Jiangzhou for the time being. She asked his son to bring me Cheng Jiu's photo."
Qin Heque nodded in understanding, "Show me the photos when the time comes."
After staying in Cheng Yuesheng's room for a while, Qin Heque left on the pretext that he had work to do.
Back in the study, he began to slowly recall when Cheng Yuesheng started to become abnormal.
Before, he was so worried that he lost all his composure and had no idea of this. Perhaps now he could deduce the reason why Cheng Yuesheng was angry.
The day he discovered that Cheng Yuesheng ignored him was the day after Dr. Mo came to the manor. Nothing strange happened that day. He went to work during the day and came back for dinner at night. Before he entered the door, he heard the voices of Cheng Yuesheng and Master Qin talking and laughing. When he walked in, Cheng Yuesheng's voice stopped abruptly, and he hardly smiled at him during dinner.
The strangest thing about Cheng Yuesheng on the day Dr. Mo came was that he asked her what she was thinking about. Dr. Mo had told her not to overthink things, and when he asked her if she was thinking about her biological parents, Cheng Yuesheng's attitude was strange, and she turned around and walked away. But today, she calmly talked to him about Cheng Jiu's situation, and it was obvious that she was not concerned about this issue.
So what about going further?
That afternoon at tea she had been angry with herself about the doctor's check-up, but by dinner she was back to normal.
Qin Heque couldn't sit still and walked to the window with a frown. He had no idea what to do now. It was true that women's hearts were as unpredictable as the sea.
Cheng Yuesheng is so young, but his thoughts are already so difficult to guess.
He looked out the window at the garden, which was as tranquil and beautiful as a Monet painting. He remembered the day Cheng Yuesheng came to him and asked him to stay in the manor for a few more days so that the old man could rest assured. At that time, she accidentally almost fell, and he hugged her. After letting go, he felt a little lost.
Afterwards, Cheng Yuesheng asked a question that made him unhappy...
Suddenly, he was stunned and an incredible idea appeared in his mind.
Qin Heque suddenly smiled and lowered his head. He seemed to know the reason why Cheng Yuesheng's emotions were fluctuating.
