Chapter 206 - I’m Here to Get the Qin and will Leave Right Away (2/2)
It seemed that Mo Xuetong didn’t notice the stains on the clothes. She turned around, gently walked up to Bai Yihao and said, “Sir Bai, I’m not decently dressed and have to leave now.”
Her long eyelashes pointed down, and her extremely beautiful face was covered with silence and desolation.
She really wanted to leave and thus cut off the relations with Bai Yihao. She didn’t know what he wanted, but the best way for her was to leave.
Bai Yihao’s eyes subconsciously landed on her knees and saw the stains on her white clothes. He slightly frowned and said gently, “Don’t worry. You should go inside first. There was a stove and some clean clothes in the back yard. You can let you maid wash it for you. I have some other errands to tell you today, so don’t leave now that you’re here.”
She was determined not to get into the academy, “There is no need. My clothes were so dirty, which was disrespectful. So that I can’t go into the academy and my father will come to apologize for me someday.” Seeing Fifth Princess’s jealous eyes which constantly swung between Bai Yihao and herself, she knew today’s incidence was not a coincidence.
She didn’t want to pry into Bai Yihao’s heart or be others’ enemies!
Bai Yihao smiled lightly, turned around to look at Fifth Princess and said, “Don’t worry, Fifth Cousin, I have to trouble you for the clothes.
Being looked by his charming gentle eyes, Fifth Princess replied right away. “Get in now that you’re here. I have clothes in my place and I will ask my maid to send one for you. From now on, we’re cla.s.smates and should chat with each other. If you still wouldn’t get in, then you’re looking down on me and disgracing me.”
After Fifth Princess’s words, Mo Xuetong would be too unreasonable if she still wouldn’t get in. Even if she really wanted to leave, she couldn’t after Fifth Princess’s words.
She was helpless and had to hold Mo Lan and entered through the gate of the academy behind everyone else.
The Qin House was located at the left rear of the garden which was meant for its quietness. Mo Xuetong and Mo Lan didn’t go to the Qin House but the foyer behind the Qin House. It was an elegant Qin House with an old Qin in the middle and a desk and a chair by the side. And there was nothing more to it.
Across the screen, which consisted of bookshelves, was a soft couch. Although it was only a couch, it wasn’t much smaller than a regular bed. By the sofa was a little table with a half-opened book. In the room, the license was lit, and the stove was on. So they walked in, they felt the warm smell and coziness. Mo Lan closed the door and held Mo Xuetong to sit on the couch. Then she took off the overcoat.
Just then she realized that not only her overcoat was wet, but her coat inside was also kind of wet. No wonder she felt so cold.
Mo Lan pointed at luxuriant clothes on the couch and asked, “Miss, this is the clothes sent by Fifth Princess. Do you want to put it on?” That was given by a maid when they came in, but Mo Lan didn’t think her miss would like it.
Mo Xuetong also saw that too luxuriant clothes and frowned. “There is no need. I’ll be okay with my own clothes. You just take it to wash and clean the stains there. Then dry it above the stove. I shan’t wear Fifth Princess’s clothes.”
The clothes was clearly not suitable for her. Not to mention she didn’t dare to cross the line and wear the Princess’s clothes, just the color of the clothes would bring her much trouble. Fifth Princess didn’t plan to let go of her so easily. She didn’t know clearly what was Mo Xuemin and Fifth Princess’s scheme, but she did know that Fifth Princess hated her.
Mo Lan nodded and let her lean on the couch. “Then miss, please wait for a while. I’ll quickly wash it and come back soon.” Then she poured a cup of tea for her from the table and put it in front of Mo Xuetong. Later, she took the dirty clothes out and tried to find someplace with water to wash it.
By this side, Mo Xuetong felt bored and took up the half-opened book. Only when she took it over to see did she realize it was a medical book and it was the only copy. She got absorbed in it. It was quiet in the room with only the sound of her turning the pages which was light and slow. It seemed so quiet and peaceful inside.
The aroma of the license spread and made a sweet atmosphere. Mo Xuetong didn’t know how much time had pa.s.sed while she was turning the pages when she suddenly heard someone’s voice. Someone seemed to have come here. She suddenly stood up and then realized she was only wearing a tiny s.h.i.+rt. She didn’t know where Mo Lan went and why it took her such a long time.
Outside of the door came Bai Yihao’s bright voice, which sounded dignified and gentle. “Is Third Miss Mo still there?”
“I’m inside.” By the time Mo Xuetong spoke did she realize it was inappropriate for her to meet anyone at the moment.
Then came the sound of knocking on the door and Bai Yihao’s elegant voice. “I’m here to get my Qin. I’ll leave when I’m done.”
He just wanted to get the Qin outside and wouldn’t walk in. Thinking of this, Mo Xuetong sighed in relief and replied. “Please come in, Sir Bai.” This was actually his room and she wasn’t the owner.
With the door opened, Bai Yihao walked in!
