Chapter 423 Duck Blood?

Only at this distance could Shen Pianpian see clearly that the house, which looked like an ancient building, was supported on the lake by several wooden piles, just like the water houses in some small countries.

It looks very artistic.

The ducks had just swum out from under the house and were swimming slowly towards this side.

As they swam, ripples spread from far away.

Miss Shen’s influence was very good, and she saw at a glance the large red objects that looked like petals among the floating ripples.

Are there any flowers over there?

Shen Pianpian looked around and didn't see any plants that looked like flowers, so she involuntarily took two steps towards that direction.

However, before she had gone far, a waiter in a vest suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor and politely stood in front of her.

"Sorry, miss, the view room has been leaking recently and is under repair. For safety reasons, guests are not allowed to approach."

Shen Pianpian said "oh" and nodded in understanding.

In fact, she couldn't understand it. The water leakage was only on the roof. The house was built above the water and there would be no water leaking in from below. What was so unsafe about it?

But after all, it is their territory, so we have to abide by their rules.

Shen Pianpian obediently prepared to leave, but when she turned to leave, she couldn't help but take another look at the ducks.

However, at that moment, all the red petals disappeared as if they had vanished out of thin air.

That's not right.

Miss Shen paused.

Aren't things like flower petals supposed to float on the water?

Isn't that a petal?

With one last glance, Miss Shen saw the ducks leisurely approaching.

The girl's dark pupils shrank instantly.

She quickly turned her head to look at the waiter and met a pair of quiet and deep eyes.

Miss Shen smiled calmly and politely, then turned and left without hesitation.

However, with his back to the waiter, Shen Pianpian's face immediately turned pale.

Among those ducks, the feathers of some were stained with scarlet, sticky liquid.

Blood.

That's blood.

In other words, what was first seen on the water surface were not petals, but blood leaking from under the house.

So what the waiter said about the water leak was true, not from the roof, but from under the floor.

At this moment, the cool wind blowing from the lake seemed to turn into a gloomy wind with a smell of blood.

Shen Pianpian quickened his pace with a sullen face.

When I walked into the pavilion, Yan Qi was just coming in with a waiter serving dishes.

Plate after plate of delicious dishes were placed on the table.

In the middle was a brown casserole. Yan Qi personally opened the lid through a silk cloth, revealing a pot of fragrant stewed duck.

The flavors of various ingredients combined with the aroma of meat are very mouth-watering.

Shen Pianpian, however, remembered the ducks with bloody feathers that she had just seen on the lake, and her stomach suddenly tightened.

Cheng Zhiyuan frowned at the girl's somewhat gloomy expression.

"What's wrong? You don't like it?"

Yan Qi's expression froze for a moment.

Hey, if you want to comment, please do so when I'm not around, right? Can you please give me some face?

Shen Pianxian smiled, picked up the chopsticks to pick up other dishes, tasted a bite and nodded.

“It’s delicious.”

But the next moment Yan Qi took a spoon and scooped a bowl of duck soup from the casserole and placed it in front of her, saying with a smile,

"This was specially made to entertain you, but something went wrong with the house and the duck blood contaminated the water."

Yan Qi shook his head.

"I should have known better than to turn the view house into a duck house. It's such a hassle."

Shen Pianpian was stunned.

What does that mean? Is that duck blood?

The girl looked up at Yan Qi, her eyes obscure and implicit, as if saying "Do you think I'm a fool?"

The man raised his eyebrows, but said no more. After serving the dishes, he turned around and left. When he lifted the white veil, he suddenly turned back.

"By the way, I've seen you before, miss."

Shen Pianxian raised her eyes and met his elegant and gentle smile.

"On the winding mountain road in the western suburbs, you were driving a white Ghost."
