36. I didn't know you could read a book when it is inverted

Lu Chang Chang walked towards Chu Chu's bedside and sat beside her. She looked at all the servants who were still bowing and asked them to straighten themselves, before looking back at Chu Chu.

" I am sorry Chu Chu…. I was not there in time..", Lu Chang Chang said with a sad tone while taking the hands of the small girl in her hands and giving it a comforting squeeze.

The others who were standing around covered their mouths in shock. Never in their entire life did they hear a master apologize to her servant. And they were sure that this was something that had never happened before in the past either.

" You don't need to apologize Miss.. It is not your fault in any way…", Chu Chu immediately retorted.

Lu Chang Chang just smiled and replied," You are going to take three days of proper bed rest.. Got it??!!"

Chu Chu's eyes widened in shock." No Miss… You will be alone.. I can't leave you alone…", Chu Chu immediately said while trying to sit up.

Lu Chang Chang pressed her hands on Chu Chu's shoulder and made her lay back on the bed." Don't get up and just concentrate on recovering… Don't worry about me…", Lu Chang Chang replied with a gentle smile, feeling touched seeing the care Chu Chu was giving.

" But-", Chu Chu started, but was immediately cut off by Lu Chang Chang." No buts.", Lu Chang Chang replied sternly. Chu Chu kept quiet after that.

Lu Chang Chang stood up to leave after talking for a few minutes." Take good rest and recuperate well…", she said softly before turning to leave.

All the other servants bowed with respect.

Lu Chang Chang paused in front of the door before stepping out and turned and said ," Take care of each other… I may not always be there to save you…"

Lu Chang Chang continued walking after saying that. She didn't know why but she was feeling like something bad was about to happen.

Something was making her feel that she was going to be in some trouble.

After taking a deep breath to gather her thoughts, she started heading towards Mo Ting Xiao's study.

At the same time..

" Miss, that Chu Chu will not be roaming around Miss Lu for the next three days.", Mo Jia's servant said to a fuming Mo Jia.

Mo Jia had been in a terrible mood since the incident earlier and had been drinking tea to calm herself. She was about to take a sip when she heard her handmaid speak.

She put the cup down quickly and asked eagerly," Are you sure??"." Yes Miss, I heard Miss Lu personally ask Chu Chu to take rest for 3 days.", the maid immediately replied.

Mo Jia smirked sinisterly and said," You did me a huge favour Chu Chu.." Her handmaid felt chills down her spine while seeing the smile on her face.

" He is coming today right??", Mo Jia asked her handmaid." He will be here once the darkness sets in.", the maid replied.

Mo Jia rubbed her hand in excitement.' Once you are out of the picture, Mo Ting Xiao will be mine…', she thought with a smirk.

In front of Mo Ting Xiao's study.

" Can I come in??", Lu Chang Chang asked in a loud voice from outside Mo Ting Xiao's study. She wasn't sure if she should knock on the door or call out from outside, but decided to go on with the latter because the door looked rather fragile.

She heard a ruffling noise before receiving a reply." Come in", Mo Ting Xiao said from inside the study.

Lu Chang Chang pushed the door open gently before walking in.

Once she set foot inside, she saw Mo Ting Xiao standing in front of a table, holding a book while Li Sing Tan was giving him a weird look.

Since Mo Ting Xiao stepped inside the study, he had been walking back and forth planning about his upcoming conversation with Lu Chang Chang. Li Sing Tan was just staring at the man in amusement.

The great Prince Mo who isn't even afraid of a thunderstorm is nervously walking around wondering how to strike a conversation with his wife. People outside the palace will not believe in this one bit even if they saw it with their own eyes!!

Mo Ting Xiao was just walking while murmuring to himself till he heard Lu Chang Chang call him from outside.

He immediately picked up the first book he found on his table and stood leaning on the table, pretending to read, completely not noticing that he was holding the book inverted.

Lu Chang Chang noticed that the book was held upside-down and raised her brows in amusement.

" Are you enjoying the book??", she asked in a sarcastic tone while walking towards him. Mo Ting Xiao, who had no clue about the sarcasm in her sentence, immediately replied that," Yes!! It is very interesting.. You should also check it out…"

Li Sing Tan, who was standing close to Mo Ting Xiao, looked at the book he was holding after finding something odd in Lu Chang Chang's tone.

At once he realized that Mo Ting Xiao was holding the book inverted. He was about alert his friend, but Lu Chang Chang spoke before him.

" I didn't know you could read a book when it is inverted.. I would like to learn how you do it..", Lu Chang Chang stated with a smirk.
