☆, Chapter 11 gave rise to a feeling of peace and tranquility
His body smelled of wine and pasta, so he took another shower and lay down on the bed. The drowsiness induced by the alcohol made him fall asleep quickly.
Shu Wanning in another room had already dreamed about Zhou Gong. The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she felt a little confused after a hangover.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and patted her head. She hadn't drunk for a long time and had really forgotten what she behaved like when she was drunk.
When other people are drunk, they can forget everything that happened, which can avoid a lot of embarrassment. But why is it that she not only has no memory loss, but also remembers it extremely clearly?
She even clearly remembered how she tore Wen Yuci's collar...
What a sin.
She got up, changed into clean clothes, and looked at the time. It was already ten o'clock in the morning. Wen Yuci had already gone to work at this time.
She opened the door with confidence and saw Wen Yuci's hand, which was knocking on the door, stopped in mid-air. For a moment, their eyes met.
Shu Wanning blinked quickly a few times, and then looked at him as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Wen, what can I do for you?"
"Good morning, someone is here to make a snack cabinet for you."
Shu Wanning nodded and followed Wen Yuci downstairs. Breakfast was already prepared on the dining table.
Wen Yuci pushed the bowl on the table towards Shu Wanning and said calmly, "Drink some to relieve your hangover."
Shu Wanning nodded again and drank the soup in the bowl. Seeing that he was still sitting in the living room, she asked, "Isn't Mr. Wen going to work today?"
Wen Yuci lowered the newspaper in his hand, met her gaze and smiled, "You seem to really want me to go to work?"
"I was just asking casually."
She didn't seem to be asking casually. She was more reserved than before. Wen Yuci looked at her deeply, then picked up the newspaper again and said casually, "I'm not going to work today."
At this time, Shu Wanning just wanted to go back to her room, but there were several cabinet installers in her room.
She leaned bored in a corner of the sofa, frequently changing TV programs, her eyes unfocused, as if her mind was already in a mess.
Wen Yuci put down the newspaper, looked at her twice, and asked, "Are you bored? Should I take you out to play?"
Shu Wanning shook his head dully: "No."
She got up from the sofa, walked out of the living room, and walked around the yard alone. In fact, she had never wandered around the yard since she came to Repulse Bay.
The afternoon sun was warm. Shu Wanning put on a coat and cotton slippers. After taking a few steps, he heard someone following him.
She didn't look back and let Wen Yuci follow her. The man following her was also wearing a coat. He followed behind her and saw that she took small steps, so he also slowed down his pace.
There was a bench for rest in the garden. He stood not far behind her, watching her thin figure leaning on the bench, her long hair swaying gently in the wind.
He stood there with a faint smile on his lips. It was rare for her to go out and bask in the sun. Perhaps the sunlight was too dazzling, Wen Yuci actually felt a desire for a peaceful and quiet life.
Unfortunately, this silence did not last long. Yan Hao called and Wen Yuci took out his mobile phone from his pocket to answer it. After hanging up the phone, a hint of impatience appeared between his brows.
He turned and left. When Shu Wanning looked back, she only saw his figure turning into the living room.
After sitting in the yard for a long time, she suddenly thought of Shu Min. It had been so many days, and she didn't know whether he was dead or not.
Shu Min was of course still alive. Ever since Shu Wanning escaped, the boss who hadn't waited for him suddenly said that he would no longer cooperate with the Shu Group. Several investors refused to cooperate as if they had agreed on it.
In the Shu family villa, Shu Min's face was drooping, and his wife Zhao Wei was sitting on the sofa opposite him with her arms folded over her chest, looking at him.
Shu Min: "Look at this, how dare you look at her? Didn't they say that if we send her to the casino, she will never get out?
Now, not only has she escaped, but now she can't be found. How can I explain this to the Ji family?"
Zhao Wei stiffened his neck in displeasure: "Why are you angry at me? It's you who didn't want her to marry into the Ji family!"
"The Ji family originally promised us a 10 million betrothal gift, but now they're going back on their word. Of course I don't agree. Besides, Shu Wanning has never had a good relationship with us. She won't listen to anything I say!"
Zhao Wei glanced at Shu Min and lowered his voice, "We have to find her back. We have accepted so much financial support from the Ji family, and I don't want to marry our precious daughter off to them."
Shu Min sighed, "I know! Didn't we adopt Shu Wanning so that she could marry Xinxin instead?"
'A-choo!'
Shu Wanning sneezed, rubbed her nose and stood up. When she returned to the room, she found a row of low cabinets against the wall, which were already filled with snacks, juice and milk.
She leaned against the wall and suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen the last person who gave her snacks like this for nearly ten years.
Her thoughts returned to her mind. She picked out a few bags of food from the cupboard and went upstairs. She opened the door, lowered the curtain, found a comfortable chair to curl up in, and covered her legs with a blanket.
Before the movie was over, Shu Wanning fell asleep leaning on the chair.
When Wen Yuci came back, he didn't see anyone. He looked at the servant in the living room with a questioning look. The servant pointed upstairs and said, "The young lady is watching a movie upstairs.
Wen Yuci went upstairs and opened the door. The ending song of the movie was still playing. He glanced at Shu Wanning who was sleeping soundly and turned off the movie.
The sudden disappearance of the sound made Shu Wanning open her eyes at once. She looked towards the door vigilantly, and when she saw Wen Yuci, she breathed a sigh of relief and quietly loosened her hands that were tightly holding the blanket.
Wen Yuci turned on the light, looked at Shu Wanning and asked, "If you feel too bored, I'll take you out for a walk?"
Shu Wanning stood up and shook his head, saying as he walked towards the door: "No, I prefer to stay in my own comfort zone."
"Your comfort zone?"
"Well, like the apartment I rented before, and my current room."
As she spoke, she had already walked to the door. Wen Yuci opened the door for her and asked with a curved lip, "Aren't you going out to play with your friends too?"
Shu Wanning paused, and said in a much colder voice, "I don't have any friends."
She hurried downstairs. Wen Yuci's hand was still on the door handle. Sensing that something was wrong with her mood, he followed her, but was a step too slow. He watched Shu Wanning close the door of the room.
From that day on, Wen Yuci always felt that Shu Wanning was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally. She used to watch TV in the living room, but now she never leaves the room all day.
She used to go out to look for food in the middle of the night every day, but since the snack cabinet was built, she disappeared as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Wen Yuci felt that he might be sick. He hadn't seen Shu Wanning for a few days and was a little worried about her life in the room. He even... wanted to see her a little.
Finally, the day came on the 15th. Before that, Wen Yuci did not ask Shu Wanning whether she would go to visit the grave with him. If she remembered, he would naturally be grateful, but if she forgot, it didn't matter.
