In the car
Lu Zhufeng took on the role of driver without hesitation, while Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue sat side by side in the back seat.
Chu Liyue's warm and smooth palm enveloped Xiao Wujie's cold hand, trying to warm it up.
Feeling the warmth in his hands and smelling the delicate fragrance of roses enveloping him, Xiao Wujie felt extremely comfortable. He boldly began to carefully examine his incomparably beautiful and charming older sister.
I couldn't help but notice her outfit; her dark JK uniform looked remarkably like a matching couple's outfit with his DK uniform.
A hint of interest flashed in her clear eyes, then she asked with a smile:
"Sister, did you know what I was going to wear before you wore this outfit?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Liyue glanced at Xiao Wujie's clothes, then at her own, and said with some surprise:
"I don't know, maybe Ah Jie and I are on the same wavelength!"
Xiao Wujie's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but his eyes flickered slightly.
According to his setting, Chu Liyue had romantic feelings for Xiao Wujie, but she only realized it after Xiao Wujie went offline, and it grew stronger over time.
Now that he has replaced the supposedly offline Boss Xiao, everything has changed, and she is now quite unsure about his attitude towards him.
However, there's no need to rush anything.
He has always been a patient person!
However, Chu Liyue was unaware of his complicated thoughts. While warming Xiao Wujie's hands, she quietly gazed at the stunningly handsome young man she hadn't seen for five years.
Five years ago, he was only shoulder-high to her, but now he's taller than her.
Her already stunning appearance has become even more captivating. With her deep, sculpted features, fair and clean skin, and slender figure, coupled with her exquisite attire, she looks like a celestial being descended to earth, breathtakingly beautiful.
His mature face and figure gave him a masculine charm, but his sickly frail appearance also added a touch of delicate fragility, like that of a sickly beauty.
It gives you the urge to hug him and protect him.
It's absolutely gorgeous!
Yes, the person in front of me perfectly exemplifies how "beautiful" can be used to describe a man!
Looking at the handsome young man, she felt a mix of emotions.
The reason she rushed him to the capital was because of that dream that had been haunting her lately.
The feeling in the dream was too real.
On the one hand, she desperately wanted to see him unharmed with her own eyes. She knew that even if the nightmare hadn't come true, Xiao Wujie's physical condition was far from optimistic. Those superficial "nothing's wrong" and "fine" statements were just well-intentioned lies from Xiao Wujie to reassure her.
Unfortunately, she has been too busy to take care of him in recent years.
Now that the situation has stabilized somewhat, she can finally free up her energy to quickly find a way to solve his health problems. If things continue like this, the day when the nightmare comes true may not be too far away.
On the other hand, the recurring nightmares made her realize one thing: she might not be able to bear the consequences of losing Xiao Wujie.
She clearly remembers how she felt in the dream.
Each time, the feeling of the whole world losing its color and her body and mind being torn apart made her realize that if Xiao Wujie really had an accident in reality, she would probably be as unable to bear it as she did in her dream.
What shocked her even more was that in her dream she developed a strange feeling for the younger brother she had raised, a feeling that seemed to have taken root in her heart and wouldn't go away...
While the two were lost in their own thoughts, they unknowingly arrived at their destination.
Liyue Manor, named after Chu Liyue.
The manor covers nearly a thousand acres, and the entrance is a majestic iron gate, several meters high, with intricate and complex patterns carved on it, which is both solemn and artistic.
The gate slowly opened, revealing a wide, straight, tree-lined avenue. Towering ancient trees lined both sides, standing like loyal guardians, witnessing the passage of time and the manor's glory.
As you venture deeper into the heart of the estate, its interior gradually unfolds like a magnificent scroll painting slowly revealing itself.
The main building complex is magnificent and adopts a neoclassical style design. The exterior is built with pure white marble, and every inch of it exudes nobility and elegance.
At the heart of the complex stands a palatial main residence, its multi-story structure arranged in a staggered pattern, each window seemingly a gaze fixed on the outside world, serene and profound.
Upon arriving at the main residence, Chu Liyue carefully led Xiao Wujie out of the car. A well-dressed woman with a charming face was already waiting in front of the door.
Upon seeing them alight from the car and approach, he wore a polite smile and bowed slightly, saying, "Young Miss!"
Then, with a look of amazement, she looked at Xiao Wujie and smiled:
"Young Master Xiao, it's been a long time!"
Xiao Wujie also recognized her; she was Ai Ruoman, Chu Liyue's assistant and housekeeper who had been by Chu Liyue's side for many years.
A struggling working-class person just like Lu Zhufeng, but much more pleasing to the eye than Lu Zhufeng.
"Sister Man, it's been a long time!"
"Hehe, Young Master Xiao is getting more and more handsome!"
"Haha, not as pretty and charming as Sister Man!"
Hearing this, Ai Ruoman laughed heartily. She wanted to say a few more words of praise, but when she met her boss's ambiguous gaze, she quickly shut her mouth and turned to lead the way.
Stepping inside the main house, the luxurious decor is astonishing.
The ceiling is covered with delicate murals, colorful and lifelike.
The soft carpet covered the entire floor, making it feel like walking on clouds.
Inside the living room, sets of handcrafted furniture are exquisitely arranged, and the sofas are covered with top-quality silk fabrics, which are soft and comfortable. On the walls hang oil paintings by famous masters, each of which is a dual display of art and wealth.
