Chapter 1049: Going Abroad
The morning mist shrouded the green gardens, making them look foggy and quiet.
The villas in Peacock Residence are all far away from each other.
But if you put the camera at a higher point, you will find that the lights in several houses turned on almost at the same time.
Shen Pianxian climbed out of bed, stumbled barefoot to the desk, and turned off the last alarm clock...
"Ding-ling-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling-ling!"
…Okay, she thought this would be the last alarm.
The girl suddenly lowered her head, and her hair covered her entire face.
She followed the sound like a ghost, stepping barefoot on the soft beige carpet. When she reached the desk, the voice-controlled floor lamp turned on automatically. She followed the light all the way to open the huge floor-to-ceiling window and stepped onto the slightly cool embossed stone slabs on the balcony.
The jumping and screaming alarm clock was placed on the glass table.
She pressed the button with one hand.
When the world was quiet, a gust of moist wind blew in from the distant garden, instantly taking away most of the sleepiness.
Shen Pianpian raised her head and saw the pale sky and the hazy lawn garden shrouded in mist.
She took a deep breath, picked up the remote control on the glass table, and pressed a button.
The dim lights gradually lit up on the lawn, along the bluestone paths and the benches beside the garden, extending into the garden in the hazy morning mist.
Shen Pianpian casually tied her hair with a rope, turned around and went downstairs.

"Someone's already woken up."
At the other end of the garden, outside a bedroom on the second floor, a tall man lowered his head, took a sip of coffee, turned around, walked across the open-air balcony, and went to the floor-to-ceiling window of another bedroom.
He knocked on the glass with a lazy smile.
"Chuyang, get up and pack your things, our flight is very early."
He didn't have to wait too long. The gauze curtain behind the floor-to-ceiling window was pulled open a little, revealing the girl's messy sleeping face, but her eyes looked very energetic.
After looking the man over, she unlocked the floor-to-ceiling window and pushed open the glass door.
The light was on inside the door, so the dolls, clothes and even the game console that had been piled together on the big bed appeared in front of the man.
Chu Yan: ...
He froze for a moment, then touched her head with a half-smile.
“You’re so positive, Chuyang, but what if Shen Pianpian can’t go?”
The atmosphere froze and darkened at a visible speed.
The girl didn't show any expression, but her eyes were like the sun that was suddenly struck by a bolt from the blue. They instantly turned into a dying candle, ready to turn into withered ashes at any moment.
Her shoulders slumped.
Chu Yan: ...
"She's going,"
Chu Yan's smile was stiff, and there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.
"Brother is just kidding you."
"Go and help your brother pack his things."
He touched the girl's head, turned around and put the coffee on the stone railing with considerable force, revealing a dark aura of displeasure.
But the girl who had just received the good news didn't notice it at all, and followed him with bright eyes.

Shen Pianpian was on the phone.
She asked into the hands-free phone while putting coffee beans into the machine.
"When will my assistant arrive? Uncle Mao, you alone will definitely not be enough."
"Um...it looks like he's almost at your door."
"That's quite diligent..."
Before he could finish his words, the doorbell rang.
Shen Pianxian pressed the button in a hurry, turned around and walked out the door.
"Okay, he seems to have arrived. Uncle Mao, you just need to wait for him at the airport."
After hanging up the phone, the girl walked barefoot across the living room floor and the carpet in the entrance hall, then opened the door to save trouble and ran across the cold stone slabs and through the green plants to the front door.
She opened the door to the first floor, and outside the carved iron door stood the tall and slender Boss Cheng.
He held a key ring in his hand, and his deep eyes lowered to stare at the girl's bare feet.
