But she wouldn’t use herself to vent her anger at Bai Yu, only by taking care of herself would she have a chance to return to the Island Master’s side.
Bai Yu looked at her, opened his mouth, trying to talk to her, but she didn’t even glance at him, and walked straight to the dining table and sat down.
Picking up her chopsticks, she began eating in silence.
Bai Yu attempted to speak several tis, trying to ease the tension between them, but didn’t know what to say.
After a mont, he finally asked:
"Does this suit your taste?"
Qiaoxu paused her eating for a mont, then looked up at him, "When will you let go?"
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s face darkened, and he remained silent.
Qiaoxu didn’t wait for his answer and continued eating without saying another word.
Bai Yu felt frustrated and put down his chopsticks with a clatter on the table.
The servants around stiffened their bodies, not daring to make any noise.
Only Qiaoxu continued eating her al, unaffected.
"Qiaoxu, do you have to be confrontational with ?"
Qiaoxu looked up at him again and repeated her previous question, "When will you let go?"
In short, no matter what Bai Yu said to her, she would always ask this question, making Bai Yu’s irritation grow even stronger.
He threw his chopsticks on the table and stared at her coldly, saying:
"Don’t even dream about it!"
From Qiaoxu’s initial anger to her current indifference, she was completely unmoved by Bai Yu’s rage.
She didn’t argue with Bai Yu at all, just withdrew her gaze and focused on eating.
After finishing the al, she stood up and went upstairs.
Bai Yu felt both angry and a bit disappointed, as well as a sense of powerlessness.
The servants, seeing his gloomy face and the storm about to erupt, kept their distance and dared not make a sound.
Only the housekeeper, who had been by his side for many years, dared to step forward and comfort him:
"Young Master, please forgive my bluntness, but doing this... will only push Miss Qiao further and further away."
Seeing Bai Yu sneer, "Do you think if I change my attitude to be gentle and considerate, Qiaoxu will be willing to stay by my side?"
"This..."
At this point, the housekeeper couldn’t guarantee that.
"But at least, Miss Qiao won’t hate you."
Bai Yu didn’t respond.
"Young Master, when you truly like a girl, you should make her happy, not... make her angry and live in constant fear."
Seeing Bai Yu’s expression soften slightly, the housekeeper pressed on:
"You know very well that those two young masters from the Lu family are Miss Qiao’s lifeline, and yet you chose to threaten her with that. How can she show you a good face?"
Bai Yu’s face remained stern and silent, his lips slightly pursed at this mont.
"If it were any other man, even if they had really done it, they wouldn’t admit it. But you have taken responsibility even though it wasn’t you who did it."
After a long ti, the housekeeper heard Bai Yu whisper, "She doesn’t trust ."
Listening to his resentful words, the housekeeper couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
She had completely forgotten you and wasn’t even familiar with you anymore. You had put her under house arrest, how could she trust you?
However, the housekeeper couldn’t bear to hit him with these words and said instead:
"Since you think Miss Qiao doesn’t trust you, you should try a different approach to gradually gain her trust."
Bai Yu seed to have taken the housekeeper’s words to heart, and yet, it seed like he hadn’t.
Seeing his deanor, the housekeeper felt a bit disheartened.
