Chapter 142 Oolong
At that moment, Lu Yan and Bi Yaoyao were only a short step apart. The words Bi Yaoyao had just spoken seemed to be addressed specifically to Lu Yan. Furthermore, her beautiful eyes stared directly in Lu Yan's direction without hesitation.
"Could it be... could she really see me?" This thought flashed through Lu Yan's mind like a dazzling flash of lightning. Suddenly, a myriad of thoughts surged like a tidal wave, rapidly filling his brain. However, faced with this sudden and unexpected situation, Lu Yan racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an absolutely safe, risk-free solution. After all, everything happened so suddenly, completely catching him off guard!
"Just give me the things." Along with these words, a crisp and somewhat majestic voice came like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, as if it could penetrate people's souls and make people unconsciously want to obey its orders.
"Yes!" A gentle voice echoed almost instantly. Then, everyone's attention was drawn to the side. A pair of slender, white hands, as if carved from mutton-fat jade, slowly extended from the side. The fingers were long and well-proportioned, and the nails were neatly manicured, gleaming with a faint pink sheen. Even more striking was the fact that the hands were clad in an exquisite maid's outfit, with delicate patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar, complementing the hands beautifully.
At this moment, the hands were holding a black cloak steadily. The cloak looked to be of extremely fine quality, and the black was so deep and mysterious that it seemed to absorb all the light around it.
However, at this moment, Lu Yan, who had been standing there waiting to receive the cloak, suddenly felt something was wrong. He subconsciously looked down at his outstretched hand, and a sudden shock hit him: "This isn't my hand, so whose is this?" The moment this thought occurred to him, he shuddered, a chill running down his spine.
Just when he was full of doubts and at a loss, a cold female voice sounded again, like a cold wind in winter, making people feel creepy.
"What are you thinking? You're blocking my way!" The voice was icy cold, as if it roared from the icy world, carrying an endless chill that reached deep into one's soul. Just hearing it was like falling into a cold cellar, and one couldn't help but tremble and shudder.
Lu Yan was startled by the sudden scolding, snapping back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He looked closely and was shocked to discover that he had unknowingly found himself standing in the same place as the maid named Xiaohong. Their positions were perfectly aligned, overlapping, as if they were one person. No wonder Bi Yaoyao had spoken to him like that earlier; she must have mistaken him for her maid.
"Ah, nothing." Lu Yan's face instantly turned embarrassed. He looked away, not daring to look directly at her, and stammered in a hurried response. At this moment, he was seen frantically moving like a swarm of disturbed bees, frantically moving several steps to the side. His steps were chaotic and rapid, his movements appearing quite hurried and awkward, like a frightened little rabbit eager to escape. With this series of frantic movements, he finally managed to separate himself from Xiaohong, and a considerable distance between them was once again placed between them.
At this moment, Lu Yan clearly felt a blazing heat like magma surge from his cheek, as if a blazing flame was mercilessly burning his face. The scorching burning sensation was like a ferocious beast, madly biting his skin, causing him to frown involuntarily. Instinctively, he reached out a trembling hand and gently touched his cheek. However, at this touch, he was shocked to find that the heat was beyond imagination, as if it could instantly melt his fingers.
At the same time, his heart, which had been relatively calm, felt like an extremely heavy rock, suddenly and without warning, plummeting into a bottomless, dark abyss. This rock, carrying with it all his inner anxiety and fear, sank deeper and deeper, as if it would never find the bottom, a never-ending journey.
Lu Yan's heart was filled with deep regret. He couldn't suppress the blame he felt in his heart and could only curse himself in his heart: "Oh my! How could I be so careless? I actually made such a low-level mistake and made such a huge joke because of it. Now, my face has been completely lost!" The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into to avoid this embarrassing situation.
In fact, the trigger of the whole incident was so simple, it was just that he happened to be standing in that specially designated place.
Who could have foreseen that this seemingly insignificant, even negligible, coincidence would, like a butterfly effect, trigger a series of situations that left him feeling incredibly embarrassed and humiliated?
Although at this moment, Fang Congyi was the only one present who could witness his embarrassment, whenever Lu Yan recalled the embarrassing things he had just experienced, his face would involuntarily turn red with shame, like a ripe apple.
At this moment, a deep and rich voice suddenly rang out: "We have arrived at our destination. Please proceed on your own. The head of the family has already issued instructions that no irrelevant personnel will be present here today, so you can rest assured that no one will come to disturb or interrupt you."
The speaker was none other than the guard who had been leading the group. His expressionless face was as cold as a sheet of iron, devoid of any warmth or emotion. He finished his words in a low, emotionless voice, then turned away without hesitation, as if completing a difficult task. His steps were firm and powerful, each one a resounding, resounding sound as if it were pounding the ground. As he receded, Lu Yan was left with only his lonely back.
