DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 36 Should I Cool You Off
Linda ran out of words.
"When did you stop playing by the rules? I'm just sorry for your little pretty."
"Just mind your own business." Charles Mu then took a spoonful of the soup and carefully blew onto it before drinking it. "Charles!"
Amy Qi's face went ghastly pale comparing with her pink dress. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Charles, please taste my soup. It has dozens of precision and rare medicines." Charles Mu put down his spoon and looked at Amy Qi, "Did you make it yourself?"
Charles Mu's words cheered Amy Qi up. She opened the box and took the soup out, "Huh? Yes, Charles, I made it myself. I got up extra early this morning to make the soup for you." Amy Qi then unscrewed the cap of the thermal container, from which a pleasing herbal scent wafted through the air.
"Charles, how is my handmade soup? Does it smell good?" said Amy Qi with a smile while touching her nose.
Linda Xia squinted at Amy Qi. The soup was not likely made by Amy Qi.
"I don't know Lady Qi can make soup," said Linda with a smile on.
"What a funny thing to say! I certainly can make soup."
When answering Charles Mu's question, Amy Qi said a 'Huh' before deliberately repeating Charles Mu's words to make herself sounded sincere.
But she repeated it once again. That's the problem.
According to micro expressions, a stiff answer is typical of a clumsy liar.
Besides, Amy Qi's unconscious touch on her nose also gave her away.
When people lie, the blood will flow backward to their faces and congest the sponges in their noses, which makes the nose uncomfortable.
Therefore, people touch their noses unconsciously when they tell lies.
"Can you? I'm just surprised that you've got the secret recipe of the Renxin Tang. What did you put in your soup?"
Said Charles Mu calmly, with his black sharp eyes fixing on Amy Qi with coldness.
Amy Qi was scared all of a sudden. How could she know anything about what was in the soup?
Violet didn't tell her and she never asked.
Charles Mu's question really got her there.
"I put... That is... Charles... I."
"That's enough, Amy. Why don't you just go back home. I suppose you haven't seen your parents yet? Linda and I still have some decisions to make about the engagement."
Amy Qi was trying to say something more but Charles Mu simply interrupted, "Bun, show her out."
"Yes, Young Master,"
Bun moved to Amy Qi's side and then lowered her head and said, "Lady Qi, please."
"Get lost! Charles, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you. I went to Renxin Tang for those experienced Chinese doctors and aksed them to make the soup for you. That's why I don't know the ingredients. Please don't be mad at me. I'll write it down and remember it. I promise I'll make the soup for you myself next time."
Charles Mu didn't look up and continued to eat the soup that Linda made for him, While enjoying the refreshing whiff of apples. It tasted surprisingly good.
"Young Master, Lady Qi didn't seem like leaving. May I..."
"You may."
Bun's face was lit up by Charles Mu's order.
She went back to Amy Qi with a smirk, "Lady Qi, forgive me."
"What are you going to do?" Amy Qi had a sudden bad feeling.
What happened next was completely shocking to Linda whose jaw dropped open, almost big enough to fit in an egg.
Bun just bent over and carried Amy Qi in her shoulder, then she walked straightly toward the front door.
Amy Qi was struggling to fight back on Bun's shoulder, but Bun got her under control.
She could only moved her arms and legs in a flurry, so much so that her high heels were dropped to the floor.
"Put me down... Let go of me... Let go of me..." Amy Qi's voice was getting fainter by the minute as she was carried away by Bun.
Bun took her to the front gate and then threw a key to one of the security guards, "Drive Lady Qi home, please. Oh, and make sure that she was back to the Qi's, not the Mu's."

In the living room.
Charles Mu kept on drinking the soup Linda made for him one spoonful after another. He drank every bit of it and then ate all the walnuts, apples and red dates in the soup. "Is the soup really that good?" Linda curled her lips.
As far as she could remember, the soup tasted only a bit sweet with a mixed flavor of three ingredients.
"It is good. Make it for me everyday until my wound is healed, What do you say?"
"You wish! Do you really take me as your cooking maid?" replied Linda sourly.
Charles Mu wiped his mouth with napkin elegantly, then pulled Linda into the room, "Come, help me change the dressing."
Charles Mu took off his blazer and then loosed his tie. Linda followed him into the room.
Even just for a little while, Linda wanted to play her part as Charles Mu's wife since she had gave him her words.
Therefore, she didn't argue against it.
But her pretty little face suddenly blushed when she saw Charles Mu taking off his shirt after loosing the tie.
She glanced at Charles Mu's body, which was healthily tan and broad. Any woman would blush and their hearts would started beating fast at what they saw.
All in all, it was the perfect physique.
Linda acted as if nothing was going on in her mind. Then she just took the dressing from Dr.Xu and sat beside Charles Mu.
"You're blushing. Are you shy?" said Charles Mu leisurely.
Linda rolled her eyes at Charles Mu and then unconsciously touched her face, which was slightly hot.
Then she just said, "What are you talking about? It's called capillary congestion, got it?"
"Hmm? Then why are your capillaries congesting? And why are your ears blushing as well?" Charles Mu touched Linda Xia's ear while whispering, "And it's hot." "Because..."
Linda suddenly realized she had made a mistake... The capillaries would only expand when excessive amount of blood flushed to the ears...
And why would the blood flow through her ears?
Because Linda... was shy...
Linda couldn't stop her blushing and pounding heart although it was not the first time for her to see his body.
She tried to focus on his wound and wouldn't dare to look into Charles Mu's eyes.
Charles Mu grabbed Linda Xia's little hand all of a sudden while his another hand reached for her waist. With a slight pull, Linda fell into his arms. "Should I cool you off?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
