Chapter 35 Why Should I Coax Her
Linda really wanted to pretend that she was not home if she could. She just wanted to enjoy the refreshing breeze in the garden and wait for Charles Mu. But Amy Qi had invited herself in.
"Linda Xia, show yourself! Why don't you let me in? Who do you think you are?" Amy Qi's 3-inch high heels were clicking on the gravel road led to the garden. Her screeching voice obviously arrived far more quickly than her steps.
Amy Qi was always playing the gentle and docile little woman in front of Charles Mu.
However, since Charles Mu wasn't there, Amy Qi didn't bother to hide herself anymore.
Reclining on the longue, Linda didn't even opened her eyes to look at Amy Qi. "Lady Qi, do you know you are trespassing private estate?"
Amy Qi despised Linda for acting like the hostess of the house, "Trespassing? Come on, Linda Xia, just knock it off. This house belongs to the Mu's clan, not the Xia's." "It's my fiance's, naturally it's mine."
"Pooh! Linda Xia, aren't you ashamed of yourself? Do you really think Charles like you? Oh, wake up, will you? It's only because of uncle Mu. You just wait and see!" Amy Qi looked around the villa.
It was bigger than the main house of the Mu's clan with better views and designs.
She went jealous again. It should have been the house of Charles Mu and her, Rather than this minx standing before her.
Linda clearly had no intention to waste her time and energy to quarrel with Amy Qi.
"Just say it, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here for Charles."
"Well, he's not here, you can just leave. I want to take a nap." Linda waved her hands dismissively.
"No, don't you kick me out. I will wait for Charles right here!" Amy Qi tried to suppress her rage and glanced at the box she carried with. Inside the box was a thermal container filled up with tonic soup for Charles Mu.
"Fine, suit yourself. Bun, let's go back inside and have some rest."
Linda rised from her longue and started to walk inside.
Amy Qi stood on the 3-inch for too long and her foot were in pain. She was about to rest her legs on the longue when Linda left.
However, Bun wouldn't let her. She didn't like Amy Qi's arrogance at all.
Bun was a former armed police after all. She put the longue away right before Amy Qi was going to sit down.
"You! How dare you move my longue? You lowly servant!" Amy Qi's face was turning red with anger. She pointed at Bun with her finger and her voice was obviously trembling.
"It's My Lady's longue, not yours, Lady Qi." Bun pouted and made a funny face at Amy Qi with a snort, then followed Linda into the house, Leaving Amy Qi stamping with fury in the garden.
But Amy Qi knew she was not here to fight Linda Xia, But to impress Charles Mu by being a virtuous wife worthy of his love.
Hafl an hour later, Paul pulled the Mercedes S600 up in front of the villa and then opened the door for Charles Mu.
"Young Master, Lady Qi was here half an hour ago."
Charles Mu frowned, "What was she doing here?"
Paul shook his head, "I don't know."
As soon as Charles Mu walked through the front gate, he saw Amy Qi standing in the garden from a distance.
Amy Qi had been gazing upon the front door and waiting for Charles Mu for a long while.
And she waved her little hands in excitement once she saw Charles Mu, "Charles, I'm right here."
The garden was on the left of the villa. It was about 100 yards away from the front gate and at the end of the gravel road. However, Charles Mu ignored Amy Qi and went straightly into the house. Amy Qi was getting worked up by Charles Mu's indifference, then she chased after him from the garden.
But Amy Qi almost fell to the ground because the road was paved with cobblestones which was not meant for the 3-inches high heels.
She entered the house right after Charles Mu and then was tripped over by the threshold and fell.
Paul felt sorry for her and tried to help her up, but Amy Qi pushed him away.
Amy Qi then stared Charles Mu in tears, "Charles, it hurts. Can you help me?"
"My arm was injured and can't lift. Paul, give Lady Qi a hand." His voice was low and emotionless, but it was more than appealing to Amy Qi.
Rather begrudgingly, Amy Qi gave in.
Although she fell hard, Amy Qi did carefully kept the box save from spilling over. It was the tonic soup for Charles Mu and the last thing that she wanted was for it to be spilled over.

Linda was looking up information about her mother in the room.
"My Lady, Young Master is home."
Linda nodded. She laid off the materials and rubbed her sore eyes, "I know. Go fetch the soup and bring it to your Young Master."
Linda went into the living room while Bun left for the soup.
The moment she walked in, she could heard Amy Qi's fake gentle voice.
"Charles, I've made you some tonic soup to enrich your blood. Just have some. It took me eight hours."
What the heck? This woman made soup for Charles Mu too? Linda felt totally bummed out.
Then Bun was back with the bowl of soup for Charles Mu, "Young Master, you're home. This is the soup that My Lady made specially for you." Charles Mu slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise. He glance at Linda and then the soup in front of him, with a ghost of smile between his lips. Was this woman competing with Amy Qi? It was truly interesting.
Amy Qi was getting more furious. Why was this woman going against her at every turn? She brought the soup for Charles Mu and Linda did too? "Hmm? What's this?" Charles Mu looked Linda Xia right in her eyes and asked.
"Apple, red date and walnut soup." answered Linda honestly.
"Linda Xia, what kind of soup you were trying to make? Apples? Red dates? And walnuts? Are you kidding? How could Charles eat these things?"
Linda Xia gave Amy Qi a cold glance, "What the hell is it to you whether he eats it or not?"
"You! You are so rude! You must have left your manners in that slum that you once called home."
"What the hell is it to you whether I have my manners or not?"
"Charles!" Amy Qi was about to lose the battle to Linda Xia, then she turned to Charles Mu for help, with her eyes full of tears that were ready to drop any minute. Charles Mu just sat still on his chair.
Linda looked at Amy Qi then poked Charles Mu with her finger, "Your sister seemed about to burst. Aren't you going to coax her?"
"If I coax her as you tell me to, What would that make me?" said Charles Mu while raising his eyebrows. 00000
