12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 2094 Do you like it here?
Thinking about Gu Hanye's willfulness, Su Jiuyao was a little amused, but she was more touched in her heart.
At the same time, she thought of another problem that gave her a headache.
I still haven't decided what to give Gu Hanye as a birthday gift...
According to the original plan, they would first spend two days in Uncle Shi’s vineyard, and then go to the small fishing village in Nanwan, which is Jiuyao’s grandmother’s home.
What they thought was that if they could catch up with Gu Hanye’s birthday, they could celebrate it for him directly in the small fishing village, which would be a different birthday for him.
But the itinerary changed suddenly, so they returned home early. Gu Hanye was also busy with work afterwards, so the trip to Nanwan was stranded.
Seeing that his birthday was this weekend and she still hadn't decided what to give him, Su Jiuyao felt very sorry for Gu Hanye.
I don't know if I'm so conflicted because I don't care about him enough, or I care about him too much.
She always felt that this gift could not be perfunctory, but she didn't know how to show her feelings and make it different from the previous gifts.
Because the things Gu Hanye gave her were all very thoughtful and never repeated.
Thinking of this, Su Jiuyao sighed and felt worried.
"Ms. Su, you can sleep for a while and I'll call you when the time comes." The driver said politely.
Su Jiuyao came back to her senses and looked at the driver, a man in his thirties whom she had never seen before.
In fact, few of Gu Hanye's subordinates call her Miss Su anymore. Some call her "Mrs. Gu", some call her "Young Madam", and people like A Fei and Gao Yuan just call her "Madam".
The driver was a stranger, and perhaps he hadn't adapted to the local customs and called her Madam or Mrs. like everyone else?
Su Jiuyao actually likes being called Miss Su, as she feels like an unmarried young lady.
With all this random thought, she closed her eyes and decided to take a nap.
I don’t know how long they drove, but the car passed through the shock absorber and bumped a bit, and Su Jiuyao woke up.
I opened my eyes and found that I had just passed the toll booth and got off the highway.
The car has arrived in the mountains and the driver said it will be there in about ten minutes.
Su Jiuyao didn't fall asleep again, but just admired the scenery outside.
There are cliffs on one side of the road and long mountains in the distance. When the sun shines on it, it looks like a golden sea, which is refreshing.
After another ten minutes, the car left the road and drove into the vineyard.
The driver stopped the car in front of the villa, got out, and guided her through the villa to the back garden.
The driver asked her to sit in the chair and wait for a while while he went to inform the eldest young master.
Su Jiuyao nodded and called the driver: "Wait a moment."
"Miss Su, is there anything else?" the driver asked politely.
"Did you work at the old house before?"
The driver nodded and said yes, he had been driving for the gentleman for many years.
Su Jiuyao was a little surprised, "Oh, I've never seen you before."
The driver was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe Miss Su doesn't come often."
Su Jiuyao thought about it and thought that he was probably Han Ye’s father’s driver. It was normal that she had never seen him before, because Han Ye’s father liked to drive himself. He had driven there himself when he accompanied her to the cafe to meet Xiao Jun.
"It's okay, go ahead."
"Okay, Miss Su."
After the driver left, Su Jiuyao sat on a rattan chair, looking over the low wall of the back garden and at the mountains in the distance.
The scenery here is different from that of Wutong City. The mountains are not as gentle as the mountains outside Uncle Shi’s garden. The mountains here are steeper and more dangerous. They make people feel awe and a little oppressive.
But what’s interesting is that there is the sound of gurgling water in the distance, but the water cannot be seen. It is probably in the valley ahead.
Thinking about that undercurrent, I feel that this manor has added another layer of mystery.
I don’t know why Gu Hanye chose this place. Generally speaking, it is relatively quiet, which is what she likes.
If he's not in a hurry to get home, they can go for a walk around tomorrow.
Su Jiuyao thought so, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
The fresh and clean air rushed into my lungs and then slowly exhaled. I felt as if my whole body was purified, and my tired body relaxed a lot.
…
In the villa, behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The driver stood aside solemnly and said to the man in front of the window: "Master, Miss Su is here."
Xiao Jun took a step forward, his eyes passing through the French window, looking at the little woman sitting leisurely in his backyard.
A smile appeared on his lips, and he turned to the driver and said, "You've worked hard. Go take a rest."
"Okay, Master."
Xiao Jun left the floor-to-ceiling window and walked out of the room quickly. When he passed the dressing mirror at the door, he paused slightly, adjusted his shirt, and buttoned the third button of his white shirt.
I don’t want to give Xiaojiu a frivolous impression.
Then he came to the back garden and walked towards Xiaojiu.
She was resting with her eyes closed. The setting sun emitted a warm yellow glow, which sprinkled on her body, making her look soft and ethereal, like a fairy.
Xiao Jun couldn't help but slow down his pace.
When he walked behind her, he almost involuntarily reached out and covered her eyes.
Xiao Jiu was not frightened by him, and took his hand away with a smile: "I can see your shadow."
Her attitude and tone made Xiao Jun stunned for a moment.
In fact, he didn't expect Xiaojiu to treat him like this. He thought that even if Xiaojiu agreed to come to the manor, she would be more distant and polite to him.
He didn't even expect Xiaojiu to agree to come.
But just now she was so gentle and affectionate, as if they were lovers...
The heart in my chest was beating out of rhythm at this moment.
"Do you like this?"
As he asked, Jiuyao also looked up at him.
At this moment, they were very close, so close that he seemed to be able to hear Xiaojiu's heartbeat, and so close that he could see every change in her facial expression.
Her smile first froze at the corner of her mouth, then surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she frowned, pursed her lips, and glared at him angrily.
"What's wrong?"
He didn't understand why Xiaojiu's attitude towards him changed so quickly. She was so gentle just now...
Xiao Jiu had already stood up, took a step back, and distanced himself from him. Amidst his anger, there was more fear and disgust.
Xiao Jun suddenly had a feeling that all his efforts in the past few days and all the progress made between him and Xiao Jiu had returned to the starting point at this moment.
Because the way Xiaojiu looked at him was very similar to the day when he brought a car full of photographed artworks to her doorstep and personally gave them to her.
In Xiaojiu's eyes, he was an unreasonable madman.
"Where is Gu Hanye?" Xiao Jiu asked coldly.
Xiao Jun's heart also turned cold: "I don't know."
She pursed her lips and glared at him, and Xiao Jun also stared into her eyes.
This moment was tormenting, but Xiao Jun had no way of escaping it and could only face the anger from his beloved woman head-on. He had to figure out why she suddenly changed her attitude.
