Chapter 249 Are you tired of me?
Zhao Yue didn't think much of what he said. She glanced at the small medicine bottle and said, "Dad, vitamins are useless. Eating more fruits and vegetables can meet the body's needs. To maintain your health, you need to rest more and relax."
Butler Zhao tightened his grip on the medicine bottle, a wry smile playing across his lips.
Of course he knew all this, this medicine was not a real vitamin.
But there is no way. He has cancer, which has a low cure rate. He probably won’t have much time to spend with his daughter in the future.
Yueyue is too obsessed with the young master's affairs, so he can only do his best to help his daughter fulfill her wish in the shortest time possible.
Although the young master looks cold and heartless, he is actually the most affectionate person.
If Yueyue could really marry him, as long as she didn't do anything stupid in the future, the young master would protect her for the rest of her life. For the sake of their past relationship, Old Lady Xiao would also treat Yueyue well.
Once he ensures that his daughter marries into the Xiao family, he will have no worries or regrets whether he continues to treat his illness or closes his eyes.
Thinking of this, the last trace of guilt that Butler Zhao felt towards Shen Lan disappeared, and his eyes were full of determination.
At the Xiao family's side, Shen Lan quickly finished dinner, went back to his room and took a nap for two hours. When he woke up, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
She washed up briefly, then left the room and knocked on Xiao Yun's door.
Xiao Yun was reading a book. When he heard a knock on the door, he paused turning the pages and looked at his watch.
The only person who could knock on his door at this time is probably Shen Lan.
She knocked on his door at this time yesterday.
Thinking about what happened last night, Xiao Yun felt a little hot and loosened his collar.
It seems that his decision to keep a little distance from Shen Lan was correct. He has been with her for a long time these days, and even his body control is not as good as before.
This is obviously not a good sign. If this continues, it is hard to imagine what will happen.
He likes Shen Lan, but he cannot let her influence him, nor can he let her become his weakness and constraint.
Xiao Yun's eyes deepened. He did not respond to Shen Lan's knock on the door and was ready to deal with it coldly.
Unexpectedly, the knocking on the door continued. Shen Lan whispered his name, and the crisp voice hit Xiao Yun's eardrums again and again through the crack in the door.
There was no way Xiao Yun could continue reading this book. He had no choice but to get up and open the door.
The moment the door opened, Shen Lan raised her white and tender little fist and met his gaze.
Xiao Yun frowned, his eyes dark and deep.
The disguise on Shen Lan's face was cleaned off, and her original appearance was restored. Her clothes were neatly dressed, with the buttons fastened to the top panel.
I didn’t wear the silk nightgown he gave me…
Xiao Yun glanced up and down, unable to tell whether he was relieved or disappointed.
"What's wrong so late?"
His voice was deliberately cold.
Shen Lan noticed it, but didn't think much about it. She smiled brightly: "Didn't I promise to give you a massage once a day to loosen up your muscles? I haven't done today's part yet."
She didn't know much about the value of clothes and jewelry, but anything she could send to the Xiao family must be very expensive.
Shen Lan felt really embarrassed to receive so many expensive gifts for no reason, and she wanted to do something to make herself feel more at ease.
Today, Xiao Yun defended her in front of Butler Zhao. Shen Lan felt that she had to work harder and give him a thorough and all-round massage!
Before coming, she did some warm-up exercises to prepare for a great job.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yun shook his head after hearing this and said, "No, I'm very tired today and want to rest directly."
Shen Lan was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.
Xiao Yun noticed her expression and felt nervous, thinking she had discovered something.
But Shen Lan said: "Then I have to remember it, and then you can deduct the money directly from my salary."
Xiao Yun's expression suddenly became complicated.
Shen Lan felt strange and guilty when he saw this look. He scratched his cheek and made up his mind: "Forget it, I won't charge for massage in the future. I won't increase your salary. I will give you massage for free."
These clothes are enough to pay for the massage today. As for the jewelry, Shen Lan never wanted to take it away.
"No need." Xiao Yun finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "I can still afford this little money. It's getting late, and you have to get up early tomorrow. You should go back to bed first."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Shen Lan looked at the closed door in front of him, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
For the next few days, Xiao Yun did the same as today, deliberately keeping a distance from Shen Lan and not being as clingy as before, but occasionally he would hug her tightly and kiss her until she couldn't breathe.
It wasn't until Shen Lan offered a massage again and was rejected by Xiao Yun that she finally realized what was happening.
"Xiao Yun, you haven't been acting right these past few days. It seems like you're deliberately avoiding me. Could it be that you're... tired of me?"
