C258 Sister Guan's Weird

"I'm sorry, I mean no harm. I just want to ask for directions!" Hai Xiaomin stopped where she was and quickly explained.

The woman frowned and turned around.

"Ms Kuan?" She saw the woman's face clearly. Hai Xiaomin said in surprise. Back then when she was recuperating in the manor, there was once an employee called Kuan Xiang who took care of her. Later on, for some unknown reason, Ling Yao transferred Guan Xiangxiang away and replaced her with another person to take care of her.

"It's you..." Ms Kuan also recognized Hai Xiaomin and her expression relaxed, "You came back again?"

"Long time no see. Ms Kuan, are you alright during this period of time?" Seeing an acquaintance, Hai Xiaomin could not help but feel a sense of closeness.

"Pretty good." Kuan Xiang looked at her and smiled. She walked over step by step, "I was on the phone just now. Did you hear anything?"

She hid the hand holding the phone behind her back and clenched her five fingers tightly. Suddenly, her gaze passed Hai Xiaomin's shoulder and landed behind her. Her five fingers loosened again.

"No, I was just strolling in the forest and lost my way. When I saw someone coming over here, I came over..." Seeing her old friend again, Hai Xiaomin's joy was slightly concentrated and Hai Xiaomin acutely felt that there was something wrong with Kuan Xiang's expression. She seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards her?

But in the blink of an eye, when she took a closer look, Kuan Xiang's eyes clearly contained a smile. "There are many small paths over here. When I rushed over in the past, I would always get lost... Is this your friend, Miss Hai?"

Friend?

Hai Xiaomin turned around inexplicably and saw Du Qing's head was wrapped with gauze that had been bandaged again. He walked up from behind with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He was almost in front of them.

The corner of her mouth twitched. "Why are you here?"

"I'm taking a walk. I'm lost." Du Qing looked around with a face full of emotion, as if this could make his words more convincing. Then, his hawk-like eyes landed on Kuan Xiang with a probing look. "You are?"

Kuan Xiang placed her hands in front of her abdomen and nodded elegantly at Du Qing with a smile. "Hello, I am Kuan Xiang, a staff member of the manor."

Du Qing's eyes swept across her abdomen and noticed that there was nothing in her hands.

"My name is Du Qing." The corner of Du Qing's mouth curled into a profound smile.

That smile clearly looked friendly and harmless, but when Kuan Xiang saw his eyes, she could not help but feel her heart skip a beat. His smiling eyes carried a trace of pondering, as if he had seen through something.

"The sky is almost dark, let me bring you out." Kuan Xiang changed the topic.

It was indeed not early. Hai Xiaomin and Kuan Xiang led the way back to the manor.

"I still have things to do. Do the two of you still know the way back to the room?" Kuan Xiang asked.

Hai Xiaomin said, "No problem. Ms Kuan, you go and do your work."

Kuan Xiang nodded at the two of them and left. At this time, the sky had already darkened and the lights in the manor had lit up.

Du Qing carelessly put his hands in his pants pocket and looked at Kuan Xiang's back as she walked away. "Are you familiar with her?"

"I've been with her for a few days. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. Have you offended her?" Du Qing scratched his nose.

Hai Xiaomin frowned. "Why do you ask?"

Du Qing narrowed his eyes and asked thoughtfully, "What were you guys standing there for? I saw killing intent in that woman's eyes!"

“...” So she felt that Ms Kuan's expression was not right. It was not an illusion?

Hai Xiaomin carefully thought about it. She and Ms Kuan had been together for a few days and did not have any unhappiness. Only Ling Yao suddenly transferred people away. It was said that it was because Ms Kuan did not take good care of her. If Ms Kuan felt resentment towards her because of this, it was also reasonable.

"What does it have to do with you!" She did not need to explain these things to Du Qing. Instead, she thought of another matter.

"Anyway, you should be more careful of this person." Du Qing instructed.0

"Let's not talk about other people first. Let's talk about you. Are you following me?" Hai Xiaomin looked at him and narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"What do you mean by following me? I am not familiar with this place. If I want to walk around, I need to find someone familiar to lead the way. Who would have thought..." Du Qing looked at her with disdain. "Someone got lost too!"

"Don't change the topic!" She thought that by exposing her short hair, she would not notice the main point. Hai Xiaomin coldly smiled and said, "Follow me from H City to Star Gazing Manor. Tell me! What exactly do you want?"

Would she believe it if she said it?

" Purpose... "Du Qing's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Hai Xiaomin's beautiful face." I said I fell in love with you at first sight. Do you believe me? "

Hai Xiaomin was stunned when she heard that.

"Haha." She grinned and instantly withdrew her smile. "I don't believe you!"

Du Qing sighed. "If you don't believe it, then forget it. This is the first time in my life that I fell in love with a girl, but she already has a husband. I admit that I am unlucky. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go back! "

He put his hand in the pocket of his pants, lowered his shoulders, and led the way to the room.

Hai Xiaomin looked at his back and frowned. Was there something wrong with this guy's brain?

When they returned to the door, Hai Xiaomin was just about to open the door when the door was pulled open from the inside. Ling Yao's tall and handsome figure blocked the door like a mountain.

"Where are you going? I can't get through to you even if I call you." The male voice was deep and magnetic, carrying a sense of relief when he saw that someone had returned.

Was he worried about her?

Hai Xiaomin's mood suddenly became bright as she smiled and said: "I went out for a walk. My phone seems to be broken. There was no signal just now."

Ling Yao moved aside and let Hai Xiaomin enter the house. "Did you go to the back of the mountain?"

"Yes." How did he guess?

"The phone is not broken. There is a signal jammer on the mountain. It covers the surrounding forest area." After Hai Xiaomin came in, Ling Yao closed the door and explained.

Hai Xiaomin took out the phone to take a look. Sure enough, the signal returned to normal after returning to the manor. Wait, if there was no signal in the forest...

"Is the signal jammer installed in the manor? What exactly is on the back mountain?" She asked curiously.

Ling Yao put his arm around her shoulder and walked in, patiently explaining, "There are some newly grown genetically modified plants on the back of the mountain. It is a key experimental research base of the company. In order to prevent important information from being leaked, there is an unwritten rule in the manor. You are not allowed to use communication equipment when entering the back of the mountain."

"So that's how it is..." Hai Xiaomin revealed a look of sudden enlightenment and her voice changed, "Then is there any signal that will not be blocked and can be used to make calls as usual?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ling Yao lowered his eyes.

"Hmm... I almost got lost in the forest just now. If I did, I could at least call you for help!" Hai Xiaomin shrugged her nose and said bitterly.

Ling Yao laughed and said, "There are some satellite phone signals that will not be blocked. I will get someone to give you one."

"Okay." Hai Xiaomin smiled and nodded. The next second, her gaze drifted away along with her thoughts. No wonder Ms Kuan looked flustered when she appeared today.

She clearly only needed to go out of the forest to use a normal phone to make a call. Why did she need to specially prepare a satellite phone?

Hai Xiaomin had some doubts in her heart, but the truth of the matter had not yet been figured out, so she could not jump to conclusions.
