Chapter 246 - 246 A Clear Rejection
246 A Clear Rejection
Mo Ruyue decided not to miss this rare opportunity. She wrapped her arms around Qin Qingyan’s back and pulled him into her arms.
Qin Qingyan’s ears turned red at a visible rate. He was only stunned for a moment when Mo Ruyue ugged him, and then he began to struggle.
Mo Ruyue also released her hand and let Qin Qingyan break free.
“Alright, it’s almost time. If you don’t leave now, you’ll be late.”
Mo Ruyue tidied up her sideburns slightly and touched her cheek while she was tidying up her hair.
It was a little hot, but she didn’t catch a cold. She didn’t know what was wrong.
“Mother, we’re leaving. You have to come back early!”
Qin Qingwan waved at Mo Ruyue, smiling with a pair of cute dimples.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Mo Ruyue took two steps back and watched as Uncle Liu whipped the horse and drove the carriage away.
The babies kept looking back at her and waving their hands at her until they disappeared after turning a corner.
Mo Ruyue only let out a sigh of relief at this time. She reached out and touched her chest. It was still beating a little fast, but it was slowly recovering.
It wasn’t like her babies had never acted coquettishly to her before, but why was her heart beating so fast this time?
Her chest felt warm, and the empty space had been filled up.
A smile slowly bloomed on her face as she mounted her horse and galloped in the direction of the county.
When Mo Ruyue rushed to Huichun Hall, Dong Qing was already waiting for her at the main entrance.
“Lady Qin, there’s a gentleman waiting for you inside. He said he’s here to take his family home.”
“I know. Where is Elder Tian?”
Mo Ruyue asked as she walked to the backyard.
“Doctor Tian is accompanying that gentleman. That’s why he told me to wait for you and then take you there.”
When Dong Qing reached the moon gate, he stopped.
“Alright, you can go ahead and help. We don’t need you here for the time being.”
Mo Ruyue sent Dong Qing away and then walked toward Imperial Doctor Tian’s study.
From afar, she could hear two people conversing in the study.
“Why hasn’t Lady Qin come over yet? It’s already past the time she should be here. Is she always this late?”
An unfamiliar male voice questioned her rudely.
“Mr. Ye, today isn’t Lady Qin’s shift day. If you didn’t want to see her, she should be resting now.”
Imperial Doctor Tian’s words were relatively mild, but he had retorted the words of that person just now.
Mo Ruyue smiled slightly and then quickened her pace.
A white-robed man sat in Imperial Doctor Tian’s study. His voice was low and deep, but he looked extremely young.
He heard the sound of someone entering the door and looked over. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold.
Mo Ruyue’s footsteps did not stop as she met that person’s gaze and walked over. She stood in front of Imperial Doctor Tian and said, “Elder tian, you were looking for me?”
“Lady Qin, this is Mr. Ye who came to pick up Miss. He just arrived this morning and came directly to the clinic.”
Mo Ruyue only turned to glance at the man in white. She didn’t nod or say anything.
In the past, although she was also cold and distant to others, she would not simply not greet a person, especially when that person was someone who would be traveling with her in the next few days.
Imperial Doctor Tian was very surprised at Mo Ruyue’s reaction. However, in order to avoid the awkwardness of the situation, he still changed the topic without a trace.
“Mr. Ye, you haven’t seen Miss since you arrived, have you? It’s better to go and see her first, and then discuss the matter of departure with Lady Qin.”
“No hurry, Elder Tian. Before that, I want to have a chat with Lady Qin.”
The man surnamed Ye didn’t seem to notice Mo Ruyue’s unreasonable rejection of him at all. Instead, he was full of interest and wanted to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.
“If it’s about the journey, Qing Xi can set off at any time. However, the shock absorption of the carriage must be done well, and the speed can not be too fast.
“If it’s about the illness, I’ll naturally explain it in detail when I see Master Duanmu. If Mr. Ye is interested, you can also listen at that time.”
Although Mo Ruyeu gave a response, it was clearly a clear rejection.
The man surnamed Ye raised an eyebrow and the smile on his lips deepened, but the light in his eyes grew colder. However, the change was fleeting and he carefully hid it behind a gentle smile.
“Alright, if this is Lady Qin’s intention, then I will show respect.”
He stood up and said to Imperial Doctor Tian, “Elder Tian, then I’ll go and see the young lady. I haven’t seen her for a while and I don’t know how her condition is now. I’ll feel more at ease if I see her with my own eyes.”
Imperial Doctor Tian also stood up and said to the man surnamed Ye, “Then this old man will go with Mr. Ye. Not many people know that the young lady is here, and they don’t allow unauthorized people to get close.”
“Lady Qin, don’t you need to check the medical record that you wanted to bring? Don’t miss anything.”
Imperial Doctor Tian found a suitable reason for Mo Ruyue to leave and immediately led the man surnamed Ye out of the study.
When the man left the study, he turned back to glance at Mo Ruyue. The sun was shining brightly outside, making his expression a little blurry.
His smile seemed to have faded a little, but it also seemed to have not changed at all. Very quickly, he turned his line of sight and followed Imperial Doctor Tian.
Mo Ruyue followed him out of the study and moved further away from where the man surnamed Ye had been standing. The man’s aura made her extremely uncomfortable. The last time she had this feeling was from Constable Liao from the county, but it had not been this strong.
No matter who that man was, she just wanted to keep a distance from him. After all, she would not have any interaction with him after this incident. It was best that this was the case.
Qing Xi’s departure was set to be in the early morning of the next day.
At that time, there would not be many people on the street. There were always people who were curious about what kind of extraordinary patient had been received in Huichun Hall, but they would never have thought that they would quietly leave one day when there were the least black people.
Mo Ruyue would be a step late. Now that Qing Xi’s body had recovered very well, she did not need to be by her side to take care of her at all times. It was enough to have Madam Du and the others around.
In reality, Mo Ruyue had only left a step later because she didn’t want to have any interaction with that man surnamed Ye.
Because Qing Xi was in a carriage and the speed was not fast, even though Mo Ruyue left a little late, she still caught up with the group halfway.
When she heard that Lady Qin had followed them, Qing Xi only snorted and did not say anything.
However, the man surnamed Ye looked at the piece of paper in his hand and revealed a playful smile.
“That Lady Qin probably doesn’t want to see me, so don’t go and say hello to her. Continue to keep an eye on her and report to me if anything happens.”
He seemed to be talking to the air. A gust of wind suddenly blew in the room, making the paper in his hand float for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal.
The horse traveled for three days, four days earlier than when they went to the county. Mo Ruyeu only managed to meet Qing Xi once when she caught up with the group. After that, she left again.
