Chapter 281: Can't Dine With Her

Yan Qingruo's heart felt as if it was being gouged out piece by piece, by the dullest knife in the world, administering the most excruciating pain possible.

That night, she tossed and turned in bed all night long.

She really wanted to go to Chen Qianmo's study, to speak a few words to him, to really make things clear between them.

But each time she approached the study's door and saw the light inside, her gathered courage would deflate like a balloon, getting pricked over and over.

Ultimately, she returned to her bed, choosing to bear the pain alone.

All night, she barely slept.

In the morning, as she had just reached the top of the stairs, she heard the housekeeper asking Chen Qianmo, "Young master, are you leaving without having breakfast?"

Chen Qianmo nodded, "I'll pass."

The doctors had said that saliva could transmit the virus, so he was resolutely unwilling to share a meal with Yan Qingruo.

He said, "Take good care of the young mistress, make sure she eats more."
