Chapter 77 Calling people
Do not know why,
The moment she met Mr. Dong's gaze, Miss Lu did not feel surprised as she did in the past. Instead, she felt a chill on her back and an indescribable sense of uneasiness 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."
Master Dong walked a few steps closer to Miss Lu and said, "Today is the birthday banquet for Madam Hou, and I came early. I have written you many letters recently, but I have never seen you reply to me."
"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 flashed in Master Dong's eyes.
Damn Shen Wei, he really ruined his good deeds. 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 for blessings. I wanted to see you, but I 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 the lover in front of her, 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 Shen Wei's advice, the ending on the stage, and how Ning Feng was trying to get close to the Wen family by any means necessary just for their money.
That life-saving favor was pretended by Ning Feng.
What about Mr. Dong?
Will he be?
A thought that 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 else to do. Miss Shen asked me out..."
"Bang!!"
Just as Miss Lu was thinking about what excuse to use to refuse, a dull sound of something hitting the ground suddenly rang beside her ears.
She turned her head and looked!
I saw the personal maid behind me had her mouth covered with a piece of sackcloth. 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--"
"Well--"
Miss Lu opened her eyes wide, with fear, astonishment, shock and all kinds of emotions rushing into her mind. She turned her head to look at Mr. Dong, but Mr. Dong suddenly hugged her and covered her mouth with his hands.
Miss Lu's heart was filled with shock. She struggled hard, but found that she did not have the 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 shout loudly and 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 with tears in her eyes and a look of despair and pleading, he stopped pretending.
He picked up Miss Lu and said with a dark smile, "Miss Lu, just think it through."
"I am a man, and it doesn't matter if I have three wives and four concubines and am known as a playboy. But you are a young lady, and if such a scandal happens to you, once it becomes known to everyone, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined and you will jump into the river to commit suicide!"
"Don't worry, we love each other and can't help ourselves. It's nothing more than eating the forbidden fruit. In the future, I will love you well!"
