What did that woman do to him?

She had never looked for him since she moved into Guanyue Pavilion, and it was even less likely that he would look for her. If the servants in the mansion hadn't been talking about her, he would have even forgotten about this person.

"Say I'm not free." He didn't want to see her at all.

The boss looked at Gui Lanqiu next to him with embarrassment."Madam, you heard it too, sir..."

The boss, whose surname is Weng, may be older and have more experience. He knows the affairs of his masters and is not something that servants like them can just guess. He also understands that many things are not as rumored. Therefore, he is one of the few people who is willing to respectfully call Sui Lanqiu "Mrs."

"It's okay." To the only manager who showed kindness to her, Guan Lanqiu was very polite, bowed slightly and said softly: "If Brother Jingtian is not available, I will come back another day, Manager Weng, thank you very much."

Her gentle demeanor made Manager Weng more convinced that he had seen the right person. Although he didn't know what misunderstanding there was between the two, he believed in his own vision. She was definitely qualified to become the mistress of the Feng family, but the premise was that she and her husband must rebuild their old relationship.

"Madam, please don't leave yet." He stopped Qi Lanqiu who was about to leave, and whispered: "I will go back to my room to go to bed in about a quarter of an hour. If your business is urgent, you might as well wait here for a while."

Hearing this, Guan Lanqiu's eyes lit up and she quickly thanked him, "Manager Weng, thank you very much."

Before coming, she had already guessed that Feng Jingtian would not see her. Manager Weng's words undoubtedly did her a big favor.

Manager Weng smiled and shook his head, "Madam, please don't thank me. I have been the steward of the house for thirty years. I can see that my wife is a good girl. Although I don't know what misunderstanding there is between you and me, I sincerely hope that you can resolve it. Then it will not be too late for my wife to say thank you to me."

Resolve?She couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.It would be great if it could be resolved as he said...

"Then, old slave, please step aside first." Manager Weng resigned wisely, leaving room for the two of them to talk.

"You go slowly." After seeing him off, Guan Lanqiu turned around and waited quietly outside the study.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, she saw the candles inside went out, and after a while, the man she had longed for walked out.

Feng Jingtian didn't expect that the person waiting for him outside the door was not Manager Weng, but Guan Lanqiu, whom he least wanted to see. This made him very unhappy. He pursed his lips and turned around and left without saying a word.

His reaction made her startled. Although she felt uncomfortable, business was important, so she puffed up her chest and followed him hurriedly."Wait! Brother Jingtian, I have something to tell you."

He still ignored her and even quickened his pace, as if she was some kind of thoughtful bug and he was busy trying to get rid of her.

He was tall and had long legs. After a while, the distance between the two of them was quite large. Seeing that he was about to return to the wing, she was so anxious that she quickened her steps and shouted behind him: "Brother Jingtian, don't leave yet. I have something to discuss with you. I won't waste too much of your time. Please wait..."

She chased her hard, but Feng Jingtian showed no mercy and even closed the door mercilessly in front of her.

"Jing..." The unfinished words were interrupted by the door that suddenly closed. Guan Lanqiu stood outside the door in a daze. It took a long time before her shoulders drooped in despair.

Is he so reluctant to see her?Not even willing to say a word to her?

Her heart ached slightly, especially when she saw his disgusted eyes, which made her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.

But she told herself that the tears she should shed had already been shed on the day he divorced her. In the following days, she must be strong, so she could not cry or be weak, and she could not let him look down on her even more.

Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her mind and decided to spend time with him.

Feng Jingtian is solely responsible for the family business of Feng Mansion. He usually visits the shops outside almost all the time and does not return home until late at night. It is already difficult to see him. In addition, he deliberately avoids him. Qian Lanqiu knows that if he does not see him today, he may have to wait for how long if he wants to see him in the future.

If he didn't want to see her tonight, then she would wait until he was willing.

After making up her mind, she turned around and walked back to Guanyue Pavilion, asking Zhu'er not to wait for her to go to bed. Then she walked back to Feng Jingtian's room, sat down leaning on the armrest in the corridor, and waited quietly.

Fortunately, it is summer. Although the night wind is cool, it is not as cold as the evening breeze in autumn and winter. On the contrary, it is very comfortable. It sweeps away the uncomfortable heat during the day and is cool and comfortable enough to make people drowsy.

Gui Lanqiu, who had never fallen asleep past Haishi, could not resist Zhou Gong's summons for a long time under the gusts of evening wind. She could no longer hold it in until midnight. She nodded her head and finally leaned against the beam beside her. She slowly closed her beautiful eyes and let sleep invade her.

Feng Jingtian always got up early, and now that it was the end of the month, he not only had to go to various shops in the city to check the accounts, but also compiled the accounts from all over the place. Therefore, he had already gotten up before midnight, washed briefly and was about to go out. However, when the door opened, he was stunned and stared at the sleeping woman sitting in front of the door.

Why is she here?

Seeing that she was dressed exactly the same as last night, he didn't even need to guess, he knew that this woman must have been waiting outside his room all night.

She thought he would see her if she stayed here?

He raised the corners of his lips mockingly, and wanted to turn around and leave, but when he saw her frowning lightly and looking like she was restless in sleep, he stopped inexplicably and even walked up to her, quietly staring at her haggard but still beautiful face.

Even though it was summer, the morning wind still had a bit of coolness. Seeing her delicate appearance trembling slightly made him feel a little reluctant to let go of his chest...

It is undeniable that she is very beautiful, even more beautiful than Zi Yan.

Zi Yan was sweet, while she was feminine. They even had different personalities. One was lively and the other was elegant. They were both active and quiet, which were the characteristics of the Sui family sisters.

He didn't hate Gui Lanqiu because she was Sui Ziyan's sister. Based on his love for the house and the black people, he had always been polite and modest to her. However, he never thought that the woman he always thought was beautiful and gentle could have such a deep and scheming mind.

His handsome eyes darkened, thinking of everything she had planned, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked away with some annoyance.

Damn it!He actually stared at this hateful woman in a daze, and even felt reluctant to leave her?He is so stupid!

What's even more damning is that he should just ignore her and turn around and leave, but seeing how she was trembling frequently, he couldn't bear to leave and even made a sound to wake her up.

"What are you doing here?"

Guan Lanqiu, who had been sleeping restlessly, was shaken by the sudden deep voice, and opened her beautiful eyes in confusion. It was not until she met Feng Jingtian's cold gaze that she woke up.

She didn't expect that he would see her sleeping state. She was so frightened that she quickly stood up and shouted in a low voice with a slight embarrassment: "Brother Jingtian..."

He looked at her coldly without saying a word.

Guan Lanqiu felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him. She stayed away all night and was blown by the wind all night. You can imagine how embarrassed she looked at this time, and the last thing she wanted was to let him see her imperfect self.

Biting her pink lips, she decided to finish what she wanted to convey quickly so that she could go back to her room and tidy herself up as soon as possible.

"Brother Jingtian, I know you are very busy. I just want to tell you that I will be leaving the house in the next few days and going to the city to find a shop and do some small business, so..."

Before she could finish her words, Feng Jingtian raised his handsome eyebrows and interrupted: "No!"

"Uh..." Qi Lanqiu was stunned.

During this period of time, he had been indifferent to her, as if he had completely forgotten her existence. If she hadn't thought that now she was living under someone else's roof, and he was the master here, she would have wanted to inform him, but she didn't expect that he would refuse.

"Why not?" she asked puzzledly.

He still treated each other coldly, pursed his lips and said, "Don't forget, you are still my newlywed wife outside. The mistress of the Feng Mansion goes out to do business alone, so why do you want my face?"

When he mentioned it, she suddenly understood.

yes!How could she forget her identity outside? No wonder he refused to agree.

But...what should we do?How will she support herself and Zhu'er if she doesn't do business in public?

She frowned, bit her lip and thought. After a while, her eyes brightened, and she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will find a way not to reveal my identity, and I will be very careful when entering and exiting. If there is nothing important, I will ask Zhu'er to come forward for me, and no one will know my identity."

Seeing that she seemed to be determined to do it, Feng Jingtian's eyes looked a little complicated.
