Chapter 2563: Chapter 2564: Would Rather Care About a Stranger
Heh.
In front of him, she wouldn’t speak foolishly anymore. But when he wasn’t around, could she offend anyone?
Thank goodness!
Yuan Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When the Ling Family came to propose a marriage, wanting Ling Xue’er to marry him, his mother was adamantly opposed, saying directly to his father that if her son married Ling Xue’er, she would die!
At the time, he thought his mother was overreacting. Even if Ling Xue’er was a bit arrogant, weren’t all daughters of noble families like that?
But now, he felt his mother’s decision was absolutely right!
If he really married Ling Xue’er in the future, he feared his life would be ruined by her.
"Since you know you were wrong, then behave yourself."
He glanced at Ling Xue’er coldly and then went on with his tasks.
Ling Xue’er: "..."
Is he still angry with her, or is he not angry anymore?
She really couldn’t figure out Yuan Jue’s current temperament. He used to be so gentle with her, and until today, she couldn’t believe Yuan Jue would be so indifferent to her.
"Brother Jue, let me help you, I can do these... Ah!"
"Ah!"
Trying to please Yuan Jue and redeem the bad impression she left before, she hurried to do something.
But before she knew it, she lost her balance and fell sideways, coincidentally knocking over the male team member who was working with Yuan Jue.
The man hadn’t expected Ling Xue’er to fall over, and caught off guard, he fell onto a rock, his chest painfully compressed, grimacing.
"Ah, ah ah!"
Ling Xue’er screamed in shock, not expecting to have physical contact with another man in Yuan Jue’s presence.
Immediately, she tried to get up, but couldn’t, and writhed chaotically on the male team member, attracting even more attention with her screaming.
Yuan Jue took a deep breath, couldn’t help but reach out and directly lifted Ling Xue’er up.
Seeing Yuan Jue lend a hand to help her, Ling Xue’er’s heart leapt with joy, "Brother Jue, thank you... Ah!"
Before she could finish saying ’you’, she felt the big hand gripping her arm loosen, and she was tossed to the side.
And then, she watched as Yuan Jue helped the male team member up, his method far gentler than when he’d dealt with her, and even spoke with concern.
"Are you alright?"
"I’m fine, I’m fine."
The male team member glanced at Ling Xue’er, then awkwardly turned his gaze back to Yuan Jue.
Darn it, how did he get so unlucky, having Ling Xue’er clamber all over him? In fact, he didn’t like Ling Xue’er one bit.
She’s a spoiled brat, the kind developed by being coddled at home, with such a bad temper. If it weren’t for Yuan Jue protecting her, who would want to talk to her?
"Captain Yuan, I’m okay, just got pressed on the chest earlier, but compared to my previous injuries, that’s really nothing."
Saying this, he raised his hand and patted the dust off his chest, then chuckled sheepishly.
"As long as you’re fine, let’s continue and finish up here." Yuan Jue felt relieved and said.
"Brother Jue..."
Ling Xue’er watched as Yuan Jue chose to care for a stranger rather than utter a word of concern for her, really making her eyes red with anger.
