Chapter 38 I dare not look
ill.
Lin Sheng couldn't quite understand this world anymore.
"Misunderstanding?" Wen Nianchu propped his chin on one hand and tapped his cheek several times with the tip of his index finger. He looked curious and said, "I asked my bodyguard to shake my hand for me. Young Master Lin seems to be very dissatisfied?"
With every word she spoke, Lin Sheng's back tensed a little. The more assertive this woman was, the more certain he was that she had someone to lean on.
"No opinion." He smiled stiffly.
Now he felt terrified when he thought that Qin Ye’s fiancée was Wen Nianchu.
"Very good." Wen Nianchu's gaze lingered on his face for half a second before turning and walking towards the door. "Let's go."
She winked at Xie Yue, who immediately came forward with the contract.
"Please wait a moment," Lin Sheng suddenly took a half step forward, "Miss Wen, could you please leave your contact information?"
Wen Nianchu stopped at the threshold.
The tall man beside her tilted his head slightly, and the gaze behind his sunglasses seemed to be real, making Lin Sheng's throat tighten.
Lin Sheng had no choice but to look down, unconsciously falling on the wrists of the two people.
It was the same watch, but with a unique design he had never seen before.
An absurd thought flashed through my mind: couple watches?
Could it be... that Qin Ye was cheated on?
What made him even more terrified was that the man put his finger on the watch strap. That gesture didn't look like that of a purely obedient bodyguard, but more like... more like a lover declaring his sovereignty in public.
"Oh."
Wen Nianchu paused for only a moment and then immediately walked forward without looking back at Lin Sheng.
With the contract and the land in hand, Lin Sheng became just an insignificant passerby to her.
A fence-sitter who changes his stance according to the situation is not the loyal subordinate she wants to recruit.

Back in the car, Wen Nianchu felt waves of fatigue coming over him.
She signaled Uncle Chen to drive, and their destination was the villa she had just bought.
After the car arrived at the destination, Wen Nianchu took a round of inspection and then stood in the back garden in a daze.
Wen Nianchu picked up the phone and saw two messages from Gu Mingyue on the screen:
We received a tip from a stranger who claimed to be a close friend of the informant.
[Tonight is a test for you by the Imperial staff. Please be vigilant and pay attention to safety. I will send personnel to observe and protect your safety from a distance.]
Wen Nianchu: [Received!]
She glanced at Xie Yue beside her, thinking about whether to bring Xie Yue along as well. After all, Mo Ruyan didn't stipulate that he couldn't be brought along.
Just as she was thinking this, she received a text message from an unknown number -
My dear, you are alone tonight. Come to Rongcheng Hot Spring Winery at 7pm. See you there~ Baby~ (blows a kiss)
Wen Nianchu: “…”
Good boy, whatever you think comes true.
Wen Nianchu replied again: [Received.]
Seven o'clock is still early. After installing the villa furniture, I will get a full bottle of pepper spray and put a few daggers in my bag.
Hot Spring Villa...
Wen Nianchu frowned.
What if the emperor arranges security checks at the entrance of the villa again...
Where can I hide a knife?
Wen Nianchu stood in the twilight back garden, his gaze fixed on Xie Yue. His gaze was so direct that even the usually calm Xie Yue unconsciously tensed his shoulders.
Her eyes finally fixed on his hair.
--hair.
Wen Nianchu touched her hair, her eyes darkening slightly. Security didn't check her hair, and her hair was thick enough and concealed enough... If a blade was hidden in a shark clip, who would have thought that this exquisite hair accessory was hiding murderous intent?
In this dangerous chess game, she must keep a trump card for herself.

Xie Yue found it increasingly difficult to look away. Wen Nianchu's expression as she pondered alone held a certain fatal allure. Even her slightly furrowed brows and pursed lips captivated him; she was truly adorable no matter how he looked at her.
Especially when he knew that Wen Nianchu's engagement with the other party was just a transaction, and both parties had torn their faces apart and no longer maintained a superficial relationship.
I think she is even cuter.
etc.
Xie Yue suddenly suppressed this thought.
This is very dangerous.
The relationship between the system that binds him and Wen Nianchu is still a mystery. How could he allow himself to have such a ridiculous idea?
Is he crazy?
Wen Nianchu lowered his eyes, tapped on the screen, and briefly informed Gu Mingyue of the meeting place, the hot spring villa.
After sending the message, she looked up and saw the faint smile on Xie Yue's lips.
Although she didn't know what Xie Yue was laughing at, Wen Nianchu felt it was necessary to tell Xie Yue the inside story of her actions. After all, Xie Yue was one of her own.
Only in front of Xie Yue did she truly feel that her fate had indeed been reversed.
After all, he lost both legs in his previous life.
"Xie Yue." She suddenly called him.
The girl looked up, her red dress blooming like fire against the background of rose bushes, complementing the blooming flowers in the garden. She looked like an elf who accidentally fell into a painting.
Xie Yue turned his head away.
He suddenly didn't dare to look at her.
Perhaps because summer rain always comes and goes quickly, the newly risen sun lost its usual sharp feeling and became warm and comfortable. When it fell on the girl's body, it gave her a thin layer of sunlight.
It made him feel a little dazzling.
"I can't take you with me on this trip tonight. Mo Ruyan asked me to go to the hot spring villa alone."
After Wen Nianchu finished speaking, the corners of Xie Yue's lips immediately dropped.
He pursed his lips and said sullenly:
"Um."
"This is the key to the villa. You must move in within a week. I will come to visit occasionally." Wen Nianchu continued.
Xie Yue took the key and was silent.

Hot spring villa.
There is no security check?
After Wen Nianchu entered, he found that there was no one there. The whole villa was frighteningly empty. Next to the hot spring, there was a chair where Mo Ruyan, who had been waiting for a long time, was sitting.
"It seems that you have already thought about it?" Mo Ruyan said with a smile.
"Of course, I surrendered because I want to make a lot of money." Wen Nianchu followed her words.
She tried to appear greedy.
After all, she knew that Mo Ruyan would definitely dig up every detail of her life. They would definitely know about her past and the fact that her father took back his illegitimate daughter. They would even think that she must be very eager to have money and curry favor with the emperor in order to threaten and rebel against her father.
"Give me some sunscreen spray."
The sun is about to set, should I apply sunscreen spray?
It seems that after she left that day, Mo Ruyan also sent someone to follow her?
Wen Nianchu became more alert.
"What are you standing there for?" Mo Ruyan urged, stretching out her arm.
Wen Nianchu slowly took out a bottle of sunscreen spray from her bag.
Mo Ruyan suddenly spoke again:
"Spray your arm first. Let me see how effective this spray is."
Wen Nianchu subconsciously glanced around, his eyes passing over the hot spring filled with steam.
Her gaze fixed.
At some point, a small red dot appeared on the water surface.
Sniper?
The Royal Era is really... exciting...
