As soon as she turned around, Jing Yu grabbed her from behind, pulled her gently, and held her in his arms.

Jing Yu buried his head in the crook of her neck and sniffed her scent vigorously. It seemed that this was the only way to reassure him.

Qianxue wanted to move, but Jing Yu hugged her tighter.

Qianxue had no choice but to get close to him and whisper: "Master, I want to give you a hug."

Jing Yu's hand loosened little by little, but he still held her in his arms, fearing that she would run away.

Qianxue smiled, turned around with some difficulty, then faced Jing Yu, raised her hands to wrap around his neck, and took him into her arms.

Qianxue hugged Jing Yu, caressed his back, and asked in a coaxing tone: "Master, what's going on?"

She is a person who is not good at interpreting words. She usually faces everything in silence most of the time.

However, seeing such a fragile Jing Yu, the desire to comfort him and share his pain reached its peak, and words of comfort and care were almost self-taught.

Jing Yu didn't say anything, he just leaned into Qian Xue's arms very relaxedly.

Qianxue was not in a hurry, she just stroked his back and sat quietly with him, waiting for him to tell him all this.

I don't know how much time passed before Jing Yu laughed hoarsely, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Qianxue was not flustered by these hurtful words, but responded gently, "I just feel sorry for the young master and want to help you share your worries."

She pulled her body back a little, hoping that Jing Yu could see her eyes.

"I swear that everything the young master said today will be kept secret and will never be known to others."

The tight fit just now was pulled apart, and the cool breeze passed through the gap between the two of them. Jing Yu hugged him tightly again with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't go..."

Qian Xue followed his words and hugged him again, and Jing Yu slowly spoke: "They can't hold me now, so they want to use my mother as a raft."

Qianxue thought about Jing Yu's inexplicable temper just now and made a guess in her mind.

"When I was young, I was extremely eager to give my mother's tablet a home, but they refused. Now, I no longer care about it. I can earn my mother's glory and incense myself."

Qianxue followed his words and said, "I believe in the young master, and the late madam's spirit in heaven will also be pleased."

Jing Yu's tone suddenly turned painful, "No, you don't know."

He put his arms around Qianxue and pinched Qianxue so hard that her back hurt, but the hot breath he exhaled in panic allowed Qianxue to feel Jing Yu's mental struggle and weakness.

"I have no sense of belonging to the Jing family, but my mother didn't allow me to change my surname to Bai until she passed away. She hated that I had the blood of the Jing family in my body, and she thought I had dirty the surname Bai."

Qianxue felt the force on her back getting heavier and heavier, and every word Jing Yu spoke seemed to be soaked in blood.

"No, Madam would not miss the young master so much!"

Qianxue immediately denied Jing Yu's words, her tone was firm and without any hesitation.

Jing Yu suddenly let go of her and looked at the determined Qian Xue with disbelief.

However, Qianxue raised her hand and rubbed his head, "If Madam really resents you so much, there is no way she would have left Grandma Li to you."

Qianxue listed all of Nanny Li's abilities before hugging Jing Yu again.

"Will the young master leave his best confidant to his enemy?"

Jing Yu was a little confused by his coaxing tone, and he shook his head blankly without reacting for a moment.

Qianxue raised a happy smile and said, "That's right! So, don't be sad, young master." Jing Yu looked at Qianxue who smiled lovingly for a moment and pushed her away. He was almost embarrassed. He turned his head away, his voice muffled.

"I'm not a child..."

Qianxue took a few steps back, which further reinforced the impression that Jing Yu had a capricious temper. It was just that she was unlucky and chose to come when Jing Yu was drunk.

Qianxue hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "Young master knows it well, I don't dare to overstep my bounds."

Jing Yu straightened up again and looked at her, but said nothing.

Qianxue was nervous because she was being stared at. The embrace she had just been surrounded by the smell of alcohol reminded her of her first night with Jing Yu.

"Did Tianxuan call you here?" Jing Yu whispered.

"I was worried about the young master, so I came here myself." Qian Xue's voice couldn't help but become a little softer because she had other thoughts.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Jing Yu, for fear that he would see through her plans at a glance.

Jing Yu saw her nervously grasping the hem of her clothes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "If you have something to say, just tell me directly, and you don't have to beat around the bush with me."

Qian Xue had rehearsed it many times in her mind on the way here, but when Jing Yu actually asked, she still couldn't say it smoothly.

"Slave, I beg the young master to give you something to keep with you."

There was no cause or effect, and no suitable reason. Qianxue's mind went blank and she could only say a dry word.

Her voice was so low that she suspected that Jing Yu didn't hear her at all.

However, she was a little lucky in her heart. If the young master really didn't hear it, then it would be better if the matter just went away. She still couldn't do this kind of thing like asking people for land deeds.

Qianxue hurriedly said, "I have nothing to say. If the young master has nothing to say, I will go back first."

She almost wanted to run away, but Jing Yu grabbed her arm.

"Stop, when will I let you go?"

Qianxue timidly walked over, and Jingyu leaned his head against Qianxue just like he had just done.

Qianxue couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Didn't you say that she looks like a child..."

Jing Yu raised his hand and pinched her cheek hard, "Shut up if you don't know how to speak."

Qianxue was in pain, but she could only curl her lips and respond.

The room returned to silence again, and just when Qian Xue thought Jing Yu was about to fall asleep, a faint sigh came from Jing Yu's mouth.

"I have never looked forward to getting married so much."

Qianxue was also a little sad. She was actually hoping that Jing Yu would get married soon so that she could leave the house.

"Once we get married, we can legally live in separate houses. I really don't want to stay in this Jing Mansion for a moment. It's really too tiring."

Listening to Jing Yu's rambling words, Qianxue felt that the person in her arms was so fragile at the moment.

The Jing Yu she knew had always been cold and firm. It turned out that at night when only the moonlight could listen, he would also show such heartbreaking vulnerability.

She had just hardened her heart, and then she began to soften her heart.

She didn't know whether it was because she was a naturally soft-hearted person, or because the other party was Jing Yu, who could always make her lose her armor with just a few words.

"When I was young, they looked down on me and treated me coldly. I could only endure it day after day, even breathing with vigilance, to get to where I am today step by step."
