“Why are you here?”
Lou Qianxue looked at Dan Taiyuan with a shocked expression. Her heart was uncontrollably beating.
“I had said that I would come and look for you.”
He had just followed his promise.
When Lou Qianxue understood what he meant, she froze for a while. A warm current surged in her heart, and her petal-like cherry lips curled to form a faint smile. She carried the little beast to the side of the table, and lit the lamps in the room. “I’ll make you tea.”
Dan Taiyuan expressionlessly sat opposite her. His eyes never left the little beast.
Lou Qianxue followed his gaze and looked over. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Do you know what this little beast is?”
Dan Taiyuan paused and said, “I don’t.”
Lou Qianxue carefully observed him and raised her eyebrows. “Are you lying?”
“You should not rear pets.” Dan Taiyuan expressionlessly gave an irrelevant answer. Fluctuations appeared in his usually cold and ruthless eyes, and his tone held a tinge of criticism.
“Huh?” Lou Qianxue did not understand.
“How can a pet rear a pet?” Dan Taiyuan’s unhappiness became obvious.
Lou Qianxue’s beautiful face instantly sank. “Pet?”
She felt feelings well up in her heart, and her fingers uncontrollably tightened. “Dan Taiyuan, am I a pet in your eyes?”
Anger mixed with an indescribable shame and humiliation suddenly surged in Lou Qianxue’s heart. She bit her lower lip and fought hard to control her murderous intent.
If someone else had treated her as a pet, she would’ve shed their blood at this very moment.
But the one who had spoken these words was Dan Taiyuan.
It was Dan Taiyuan, who had saved her life, and dissipated for her in front of her.
“You’re originally one.” Dan Taiyuan calmly said. His face was deadpan, cold, ruthless, and reserved. He did not know that he had said something wrong at all.
He even used a commanding tone and said, “I don’t like it! Throw it away!”
Lou Qianxue couldn’t take it, and she did not have to endure it!
She fiercely got up. With the same indifferent expression, she stretched her hand out and pointed at the door. “Get out.”
Dan Taiyuan finally sensed that something was not right. This high and mighty man, who had the habit of looking down on others, raised his head and glanced at Lou Qianxue. With a frown, he asked, “Are you angry? Why?”
Lou Qianxue was angry, but she also found his question funny.
Would any living being be happy to be called a pet?
Would anyone be happy for being criticized without any reason?
“Dan Taiyuan, are you silly?” Lou Qianxue sneered. “I’ll repay you for saving my life in the future. Now, get out! I don’t want to see you.”
“You!” The aura surrounding Dan Taiyuan suddenly became cold. He was angry. He was originally as cold as a piece of ice, and he now became even more lacking in human qualities.
That strong pressure, that was unlike the first time they had met, pressed onto Lou Qianxue.
Dan Taiyuan kept quiet for a while. He then got up and asked, “Why?” His gaze landed on the little beast again. “Because of it?” He did not understand why she reacted that way, and his tone even contained grievance.
Perhaps, because he had no emotions or desires before, so his range of sentiments was low. Hence, even a faint emotion inside him would be amplified.
It might be very difficult for an outsider to sense it. However, he and Lou Qianxue had an inextricably linked relationship, and she could easily notice the fluctuations in his emotions and understand his thoughts.
However, Lou Qianxue did not want to be bothered with him now.
