I don't know why,
The moment she met Mr. Dong's gaze, Miss Lu did not feel as surprised as usual. Instead, she felt a chill on her back and an indescribable sense of unease swept over her whole body.
Mr. Dong clearly had a gentle smile on his face, and when he looked at her, he was full of tenderness and affection.
But Miss Lu had a strong intuition that there seemed to be something hidden behind this smile.
"Miss...it's Master Dong." The maid looked at Master Dong with a distant and wary look.
"Ms. Lu."
Young Master Dong took a few steps closer to Miss Lu and said, "Today is the birthday banquet for the old lady of the Marquisate, and I came early. I have written you many letters recently, but I haven't seen you reply."
"Are you...are you frightened by the last incident with the bandits and have some misunderstandings about me?"
Seeing this, Miss Lu subconsciously took two steps back.
The expression on the maid's face was no longer relaxed, instead it seemed as if she was on guard against him!
Seeing this scene, a hint of coldness and coolness flashed in Mr. Dong's eyes.
Damn Chen Wei, he really ruined his good thing. No matter what, he had to get things done today: "Miss Pin, if there is a misunderstanding between us, can you listen to my explanation?"
"It's all my fault. I missed you so much that I couldn't control myself and asked you to go to the temple to pray. I wanted to see you, but ended up scaring you. You have every right to blame me..."
"I know you come from a noble family, but I really don't want to continue like this. Can you give me a chance to explain what happened last time?"
Miss Lu looked at her lover, whom she regarded as a hero, with pleading and concern in her eyes.
If it were in the past, she would have softened her heart long ago.
But now!
Miss Lu couldn't help but think of Chen Wei's advice, the ending on the stage, and Ning Feng's unscrupulous attempt to cling to the Wen family just for the Wen family's money.
That life-saving favor was pretended by Ning Feng.
What about Mr. Dong?
Will he be?
A thought she had never thought of before flashed through her mind, and Miss Lu's heart skipped a beat. She tightened her fingers, took two steps back, and said, "There are many people in the Marquis' Mansion. If there is anything, let's talk about it later."
"Mr. Dong, I have something to do. Miss Shen asked me out..."
“Bang!!”
Just as Ms. Lu was thinking about what excuse to use to refuse, a dull sound of something hitting the ground suddenly rang out beside her ears.
She turned her head and looked!
I saw the personal maid behind me had her mouth covered with a piece of linen. After a few seconds, the maid fainted on the ground.
The person who did all this was none other than the servant beside Master Dong!
"you--"
“Hmm—”
Miss Lu opened her eyes wide, and all kinds of emotions such as panic, astonishment, and shock rushed into her mind. She turned her head to look at Mr. Dong, but Mr. Dong suddenly hugged her and covered her mouth with his hand.
Miss Lu's heart was filled with shock. She struggled hard, but found that she had no strength to break free from Mr. Dong's arms.
She wanted to scream!
The voice is too soft and I can’t call the servants!
The back garden was quiet and deserted. All the servants went to the front yard to serve the guests and were busy celebrating the old lady's birthday. No one passed by here at all.
She could scream sharply, but if the voice was too loud, it would attract the attention of all the guests!
By then, she will be labeled a seductress, and she will never be able to clear herself of the blame even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
Master Dong had thought of the reason behind this, so he dared to act so blatantly. Seeing Miss Lu crying and her face full of despair and pleading, he stopped pretending.
He picked up Miss Lu and said with a dark smile, "Miss Lu, just think it through."
"As a man, I don't mind having three wives and four concubines, and being called a playboy. But as a young lady, if you were to commit such a scandal, and if it became known to everyone, I'm afraid your reputation would be ruined and you'd even jump into the river to commit suicide!"
"Don't worry, we are in love with each other and can't help ourselves. It's nothing more than eating the forbidden fruit. In the future, I will definitely love you well!"
