The two walked hand in hand out of the airport and got into the car driven by Xiao Zhang.

Ni Sitian didn't let go of Xu Tingchuan's hand. She leaned her head on Xu Tingchuan's shoulder and watched the plane take off outside the window, leaving a white trail in the azure sky.

"I hope that when you come back, you can truly start over." She threaded her fingers through Xu Tingchuan's fingers and held them tightly.

"Yes, I will." Xu Tingchuan looked down at her, his voice calm, yet it gave her unwavering strength.

Ni Sitian smiled slightly. After what happened with Ni Tianzhen, she cherished the time she spent with him even more. Even if they did nothing and just sat quietly side by side, she felt happy and content.

After the car had been driving for about twenty minutes, Ni Sitian slowly realized something was wrong and looked up at Xu Tingchuan, "This doesn't seem to be the way home?"

“Okay, we’re not going home. I’ll take you somewhere.” Xu Tingchuan took Ni Sitian’s hand and kissed the back of it.

Ni Sitian's cheeks flushed slightly as she tried to pull her hand back, but it was held too tightly, so she glared at Xu Tingchuan to remind him that Xiao Zhang was still in the car.

Xu Tingchuan, however, did not care at all.

Unable to do anything with him, Ni Sitian had no choice but to shift her attention back and ask, "Where are you taking me?"

Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly: "You'll know when we get there."

Ni Sitian thought Xu Tingchuan was going to take her out to eat something delicious again, and her mood immediately brightened, with a little anticipation.

However, the car stopped in a remote suburb.

Ni Sitian was led out of the car by Xu Tingchuan, and walked a short distance along a gravel path before entering the dense forest.

In the heart of the forest, a unique and refreshing French-style building appeared before her.

The pointed roof, the exquisite dormer windows, and the half-wall covered in moss immediately caught Ni Sitian's attention.

This building looks like it's a hundred years old, but it's the first time Ni Sitian has ever heard of such a unique and beautiful building in this desolate suburban forest. It's simply an architectural work of art.

After being shocked, Ni Sitian turned to Xu Tingchuan in confusion, "Is this also a restaurant?"

Xu Tingchuan chuckled and pinched Ni Sitian's little nose. "Little foodie."

Ni Sitian touched her nose, even more puzzled. Had she guessed wrong?

Besides eating, what else could Xu Tingchuan bring her here for?

With this question in mind, Ni Sitian was led by Xu Tingchuan to the gate of this huge villa.

The sign only had two English letters, F and K, on ​​it. Ni Sitian was still wondering what the abbreviation was when the vermilion gate suddenly opened.

Two blonde girls dressed as maids bowed to them and invited them in in French.

Ni Sitian glanced at Xu Tingchuan, then followed him into the beautiful building, hand in hand.

Upon entering, she was even more astonished by the magnificent interior decoration; the luxury here surpassed even that of the Xu residence.

Just as she was wondering, a blond man in a silk robe walked down the stairs barefoot on the thick carpet, yawning lazily.

Ni Sitian looked up from his bare feet. His bathrobe was casually half-open, and his body was thin and frail, but he did not give people a feeling of weakness.

His exposed skin was astonishingly white, covered with a layer of light golden hair that shimmered like crushed diamonds under the light.
