Luo Qingzhou did not dare to reject her.

He could only turn back.

When he walked to the vendor selling candied hawthorns and took out silver taels, the girl turned her head slightly and stole a glance at him. Then, she continued to look at the wall in front of her with a cold expression.

“Buy… four skewers.”

Luo Qingzhou decided to tease her.

He took four sticks of candied hawthorn and strode away without calling her.

After walking for a distance, a familiar chill suddenly attacked him and instantly enveloped his entire body.

A chill ran down his spine, and his neck itched…

He stopped and looked back.

However, the cold girl was no longer under that roof. No one knew where she had gone.

Luo Qingzhou froze. After circling, he realized that the girl was silently standing on his right like a ghost. It was as if she had never left the spot beside him earlier.

Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words. “Miss Xia Chan, here’s the candied hawthorn…

“Hmph!”

The girl turned her face away and looked elsewhere.

Miss Xia Chan, I beg you…”

Only then did the girl take it. She still had her face turned away and looked elsewhere coldly.

Luo Qingzhou did not bother about her anymore and placed the remaining three skewers into the paper bag containing the steamed buns. He opened the umbrella and held it over her.

Snowflakes fluttered like goose feathers.

The world was snow-white.

The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry.

The hawkers on both sides of the street were still braving the snow and shouting.

Luo Qingzhou slowed down his pace. He was thinking about something as he walked slowly.

The girl beside him also walked very slowly.

The two of them seemed to be strolling on the snow-covered street. Neither of them was in a hurry to go back.

However, there was certainly an end to the road.

They returned to the Qin residence.

After sending Xia Chan to the entrance of the Ling Chan Moon Palace, Luo

Qingzhou returned the umbrella and was about to leave.

SQUEAK.

The courtyard door opened.

Bai Ling “coincidentally” appeared and immediately reached out her hand. Two sweet dimples appeared on her beautiful face as she said happily, “Sir, you’re so good to me. You specially bought me candied hawthorn again.”

Without waiting for Luo Qingzhou to agree, she grabbed a stick of candied hawthorn from the paper bag. She took a bite and squinted her eyes in happiness. “It’s sweet!” she exclaimed.

Luo Qingzhou was about to leave when he heard her say in surprise, “Ah? Chanchan, Sir didn’t buy it for you? You poor thing, you can only watch me eat it. But if you beg me, I can give you a bite.”

Luo Qingzhou turned around and saw that the candied hawthorn in the cold girl’s hand had been finished at some point. There was only a bamboo stick left.

She stood there with a cold face. Her pink lips were still stained with sparkling sugar. When she saw him looking over, she immediately turned her face away and looked elsewhere.

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment before looking at Bai Ling, who was showing off the candied hawthorn in her mouth. “Miss Xia Chan has already eaten it,” he said.

With that, he turned to leave. He did not want to stay any longer.

Luo Qingzhou did not return to his place immediately. Instead, he went to Second Young Miss Qin’s place.

Second Young Miss Qin stayed in the house all day long and had not gone out for a long time. Those maidservants probably did not dare to buy anything for her to eat.

This candied hawthorn was sour and sweet. She should like it.

Moreover, this kind of snack should not be harmful to her body.

Second Young Miss had always treated him very well.

Hence, when buying the candied hawthorn, he naturally thought of her.

When Luo Qingzhou arrived at the door, before he could knock, Zhu’er had already opened the door and walked out. She was holding a porcelain bowl with soup inside. When she saw him, she was stunned and hurriedly said, “Sir, I brought you chicken soup. It’s already in your kitchen. Remember to drink it. By the way, are you here to look for my Miss?”

Luo Qingzhou handed the candied hawthorn he was holding to her and said, “I just bought it outside. I wonder if Second Young Miss wants it.”

Zhu’er looked at the candied hawthorn and then at him. She hesitated for a moment and moved aside. “Sir, you can go in by yourself. Miss is reading in the study.”

Luo Qingzhou said, “I won’t go in. I still have to go back to study. I’ll have to trouble you to help me bring it in, Miss Zhu’er.”

Zhu’er looked at him suspiciously again. She took the candied hawthorn and said, “Oh.” She seemed a little unwilling.

Luo Qingzhou heard the words in her heart, “This guy is unaccountably solicitous to my Miss. Don’t tell me he has designs on her. Damn it, I have to tell Madam!”

“Forget it, Miss Zhu’er. Second Young Miss is not in good health, so she can’t eat such cold food.’

Luo Qingzhou suddenly snatched back the candied hawthorn and bade farewell.

Zhu’er stood at the door and stared blankly at his back as he walked away quickly.

After a while, she pouted and said, “How ridiculous.”

After some thought, she turned around and returned. She walked to the window under the roof and reported, “Sir came just now, Miss.”

Qin Weimo, who was reading at the table, immediately put down the book in her hand. However, she heard her say angrily, “But he left again… Sir is strange. He bought candied hawthorn and said that it was for you to eat. I was already holding it, but he suddenly snatched it back. I don’t know what he means by that.”

Qin Weimo froze. She frowned and thought for a moment before asking gently, “Zhu’er, tell me everything you said when you first saw Brother-in-law and what you were thinking at that time.”

“Miss…

“Say it.”

Qin Weimo’s voice was gentle and her gaze was gentle, but her tone was unquestionable.

Zhu’er did not dare to hesitate anymore. She quickly told Qin Weimo what she had just said and what she had been thinking.

Hearing this, Qin Weimo sighed. “Zhu’er, don’t let your imagination run wild in front of Brother-in-law next time. My brother-in-law is open and aboveboard. He isn’t like what you think. He wants to give me candied hawthorn because I treat him well. He’s just grateful. That’s why he thought of me when he went out to buy candied hawthorn. He must have specially bought it for Xiao Die.’

Zhu’er was puzzled. “Miss, but I… I only thought about it, I didn’t tell Sir. I have a very good attitude toward him.”

Qin Weimo smiled bitterly. “There’s one thing you don’t know. Sometimes, people will show what they are thinking on their faces and in their eyes. My brother-in-law is different from others. He lived in that kind of environment since he was young. Later on, he returned to the Chengguo Residence with his mother. I’m afraid he had to behave even more carefully, so he learned to observe people’s expressions from a young age. Moreover, he has a strong self-esteem. He was kind enough to give me the candied hawthorn, but you showed unwillingness and suspicion. Naturally, he felt terrible, so he took back the candied hawthorn and left.’

Zhu’er widened her eyes and looked at her. “How do you know Sir so well, Miss? You… Are you..

Qin Weimo shook her head slightly. “You’re overthinking things again. The two of us are just siblings-in-law. I admire his talent and like to interact with him. I like to hear him talk and tell stories. I feel very comfortable and calm… It’s not what you think.”

Zhu’er nodded and lowered her head. “Miss, I’m sorry… Then, I’ll apologize to

Sir, okay?”

Qin Weimo was silent for a moment before standing up. “There’s no need. It’s not good for you to apologize. Moreover, Brother-in-law is magnanimous. He won’t hold it against you over this matter. Where’s Qiu’er? Call her over. I want to go to Brother-in-law’s place.”

Zhu’er had a hesitant look on her face as if she wanted to dissuade her. However, when she saw the expression on Qin Weimo’s face and thought of her stubbornness, she could only run to the house on the other side and call Qiu’er and the nanny.

Luo Qingzhou took the buns and the remaining two sticks of candied hawthorn. Just as he returned to the small courtyard, he suddenly realized that a cold figure was standing under the pear tree.

She was dressed in a light green dress. She had a slender waist and a perky butt. Her black hair reached her waist. She was beautiful and cold. She had crossed her arms over her chest and was holding a sword in her arms. She was like a statue, motionless under the snowflakes.

Her head, shoulders, chest, arms, and sword were covered in snowflakes.

Luo Qingzhou stood there, stunned, for a while. After which, he took another stick of candied hawthorn and walked over. “Miss Xia Chan…

“Hmph!”

The girl turned her face to the side and raised her chin slightly.

The corners of Luo Qingzhou’s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to retract his gaze and ignore her, the girl suddenly snatched the candied hawthorn away and left quickly.

When Luo Qingzhou turned around, she had already walked out of the door and disappeared into the snow outside.

How baffling!

Was candied hawthorn that delicious?

Luo Qingzhou was puzzled. He entered the house, took out the last skewer from the paper bag, and bit into one.

It was sweet and sour. It tasted okay. It was not that delicious.

However, it was considered delicious for people who had never enjoyed the wonders of this era.

He put the rest into the paper bag and prepared to give it to Xiao Die for dinner.

On the road outside.

Xia Chan walked in the snow and was biting the second stick of candied hawthorn when she suddenly heard noisy footsteps.

Then, a group of maidservants and grannies surrounded a weak figure and slowly walked out of the snow in front of them.

Xia Chan was stunned for a moment before moving to the side of the road. When she got close, Qin Weimo suddenly looked at the candied hawthorn in her hand.

In the snowstorm.

The two girls looked at each other..
