CHAPTER 18
But a Little Companion…
Mo Xinwei sneers; her eyes flash a strange light. “To off her? You think I’m that silly!?”
“Other than that, missy, do you have any other way? If you want her to disappear, that’s the only way. Just don’t let anyone know how you do it.” Ying Taoqiu cockily turns, rushing to Mo Xinwei’s side. “I can check her family background for you. Just don’t ask me how I do it…”
“Go ahead!” Mo Xinwei raises her hand and gives Ying Taoqiu a broken chestnut. “I don’t know how she changed his mind! Now Qilu is not guarding her? This does not explain her relationship with Han Qilu. What would elicit that kind of reaction when she is new here? When An Chuxia isn’t fresh meat, I don’t have to get rid of her, especially if there is no relationship between her and Han Qilu.”
Ying Taoqiu suddenly understands Mo Xinwei’s logic. She nods again and again but turns around and thinks, it seems they’re not thinking the same.
She whispers “Xinwei ah, I’m sorry to interrupt but I heard An Chuxia’s relationship with Master Han Qilu is unusual? Some rumors are saying she is Han’s fiancée. Other rumors say she is the Master’s companion. No matter what kind of relationship they have, it won’t be good for us!”
Mo Xinwei is suddenly stunned. She looks gloomily at Ying Taoqiu, “Fiancée? Where did you hear the gossip?!”
“Do not get worked up!” Taoqiu laughs. The hot air causes Mo Xinwei to cough. Even as she drinks the mineral water, she doesn’t have time to swallow. She is so anxious she accidentally chokes on her drink. Coughing it out, the water makes her throat burn.
Taoqiu points to the next wave of girls passing by and says, “There’s An Chuxia who says she is Master Han Qilu’s maid.”
Arms crossed on her chest, Mo Xinwei avoids the girls until her throat clears. She weighs everything in her mind: if she is his fiancée, then the situation is very bad for her. But if she’s his maid, then… isn’t there a lot of ways to make him whole? After all, a little maid’s duty is to fill those roles.
