Chapter 236 Encountering Love

Yu Zhan led people from the garden to the villa.

The servants greeted us with smiles all the way.

"Sir, Madam."

...

Yu Zhan didn't seem to mind, as if he had gotten used to it.

Luo Shu appeared flustered and responded to each question.

"How do they all know me?" she asked softly.

"You're the mistress of this place. If I don't even recognize you, I can be fired tomorrow."

"..."

When did Yu Zhan become so sharp-tongued?

This statement seems to be directed at the servant beside him.

Luo Shu felt incredibly warm as his large hand held hers; this warmth wasn't just from the temperature of his hand.

The style of the villa is different from the original one. Compared to the original one, the other one seemed rather cold and austere, while this one seems to have more color.

This is a cheerful style with a Southeast Asian theme of yellow and green.

It's a decoration that Luo Shu likes.

The entire second floor is a study, while the master bedroom is on the third floor.

Yu Zhan led her into the elevator.

"Do you like it?"

"like."

Yu Zhan nodded. "We talked about taking wedding photos last time, but we haven't done it yet. I'm afraid that even if you wanted to take them in a while, you wouldn't want to. If it's okay, let's go tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Luo Shu was taken aback, as if it was a bit rushed.

"Yes, tomorrow, if you have time."

If her belly gets bigger in a while, she won't look good in her wedding photos, and she might not even want to take them then.

And it might get even more tiring in the later stages.

"Okay." Luo Shu followed his instructions.

As soon as Yu Zhan stepped out of the elevator, his phone rang.

"Why don't you wander around by yourself for a bit?" Yu Zhan glanced at his phone.

"Okay." Luo Shu didn't disturb his work.

He had already set aside several days to spend with her. Gao Shan would definitely handle anything that could be resolved; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have called at this time.

Yu Zhan walked through the living room to the large balcony to answer the phone.

Luo Shu entered the master bedroom and began to wander around by herself.

The room was decorated in warm colors, even the bed sheets were her favorite pale yellow, and the comforter was made of silk fabric, soft and comfortable.

Luo Shu couldn't help but climb up and roll around.

She seems to have fallen in love with this place.

She closed her eyes contentedly, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

After what seemed like an eternity, Yu Zhan still hadn't returned, and the phone kept ringing.

Luo Shu slowly got up and noticed a large, unsealed box next to her. Some items had already been taken out and placed, but it seemed that there were still some items inside that hadn't been taken out yet.

She got up and walked over.

I discovered that it was full of photos of Yu Zhan.

A whole box.

"Wow……"

She was amazed; she had never peeked into his past, except for the time they spent abroad. She seemed to know nothing about Yu Zhan's past.

She sat on the sofa next to her and took out a photo from the box that looked very familiar.

Judging from their physiques, the photo shows a man dressed in all black embracing a woman dressed entirely in white; both are wearing skiing gear.

It doesn't look like a staged photo; it looks like it was taken unintentionally.

This photo was taken in Switzerland.

Luo Shu remembers that place.

She suddenly realized that the person being hugged in the photo looked like herself!

She took the photo closer and carefully stroked it. She turned the photo over and saw a series of familiar handwritten notes left by Yu Zhan on the back.

"I finally got to hold the little cutie my mom was talking about."

"..." Luo Shu's cheeks were burning hot, and her heart was pounding wildly.

ah--

When did Yu Zhan become so mushy, calling her "little cutie"?

Did he even know who the person he was hugging was?

Could he have mistaken him for someone else?

Luo Shu clearly remembers that she went skiing in Switzerland that winter with Yu Yu, Jiang Qi, and Jiang Xueer.

Luo Shu learned very quickly. At first, she was taught by her coach, but she gradually mastered the skill and started skating on her own.

But she was young and impetuous, and used too much force, so she couldn't stop and went straight downhill.

A scream pierced the sky.

People around her quickly made way for her, but a tall man who was resting nearby couldn't avoid her and bumped into her.

She pinned the man down, and she still vaguely remembers his clear and bright eyes.

Only his eyes were visible on his face; the rest of his face was completely covered.

Those dark eyes were sunny, lively, and full of vitality.

Even through their thick down jackets, the two could feel each other's heat.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to."

"Yeah, it's nothing."

The man remembered, but Luo Shu couldn't get up. She was so frightened that her limbs were weak, and the impact just now made her even less able to exert any strength.

She was terrified.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I can't get up..." Luo Shu's foot seemed to have been bumped.

Looking into her bright, sparkling eyes, her cheeks flushed red from the wind, and her pink nose, the man's heart fluttered.

The man turned to the side, carefully climbed up, then picked her up and slid her down.

Luo Shu wrapped her arms around his neck.

That was the first time she had ever felt a man's body temperature.

He's incredibly tall! Even through their thick down jackets, the heat emanating from his body couldn't be contained.

Luo Shu felt as if a fireplace was embracing her, so warm.

There is a medical room at the end of the ski resort.

The sight of the man carrying her as they slid down the slope amazed everyone present.

Luo Shu didn't realize anything was wrong at the time; her attention was entirely on the man in front of her. She thought it was just the skiers cheering at the ski resort, but she didn't expect it was because of her.

This photo was taken by a travel photographer.

Luo Shu never expected that this man was Yu Zhan.

It turns out they had met before.

Although Zhou Zhiyi and Luo Qiu were acquainted, Yu Zhan never accompanied Zhou Zhiyi to her sisters' activities, so they almost never met.

After Yu Zhan took the person to the infirmary, he was called away.

Luo Shu later tried to find him, but couldn't. She heard from the staff that he had already left.

Luo Shu then stopped searching.

Yu Yu's words proved prophetic; she once said, "You've stumbled upon love."

Because of this, they teased her about it all winter long.

She felt hot all over whenever she thought of this man, as if the two of them were really in a long-distance relationship, and she blushed whenever she talked about him.

Today, she finally found that man, the man she bumped into.

"You found out." Yu Zhan leaned against the porch, looking at the photo in her hand. "I was planning to pack it up, but you found out before I did."

"You knew that person was me back then?" Luo Shu asked curiously.

"I don't know." Yu Zhan walked towards her, sat down next to her, and picked up the photo. "My mother found you and said that person was you, but she had something urgent to attend to and left later."

"Then, why do you call me 'Little Cutie'?" Luo Shu pointed to the words behind the photo frame.

"Mom always praises you and likes to call you 'little cutie'," he said with a smile.

"..." Luo Shu pursed her lips and asked, "Did you like me back then?"

“No, I was dating her back then…” He seemed to have mentioned someone he shouldn’t have, and he paused for a moment. “Back then, I just thought of you as a little girl, and I didn’t have any improper thoughts about you.”

Luo Shu wasn't too surprised by the person Yu Zhan mentioned; she knew about his relationship with Su Ting.

"You have no ulterior motives towards me? Then you're acting like a beast. Before, we were so much older than each other, and you called me a little girl. Now we're still so much older than each other. You're like an old cow eating young grass."

“I’ve already eaten it, what should I do…” He put the photo frame down and leaned in to press the person down.

“Ah Zhan…”

"I want a kiss..." Her voice was extremely broken and hoarse.

"..."
