The Panamera sped along the highway, Xiao Wujie's gaze fixed on the scenery outside the window, which was constantly changing in his pupils.
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.
Chu Feihong, Gu Junci, a mysterious practitioner of supernatural powers...
Now even that person is ignoring the risk of being exposed and has come to Dongcheng District...
The world is ever-changing, and what is happening today may not be what it will be tomorrow.
The human heart is like a complex web, in which human relationships are woven and ever-changing.
He truly never expected that a mere Chu Feihong could involve so many things.
Indeed, reality is far more complex and fascinating than fiction.
Novels always have a clear distinction between the main characters and supporting characters. Whether they are the radiant protagonists or the supporting characters who are born to play a supporting role, they will only follow the set trajectory and obediently move towards the predetermined ending.
But in the grand book of reality, everyone is the protagonist of their own story. Even knowing that fate has its own destiny, we will still fight against the heavens and struggle for that faint glimmer of dawn.
He felt that this meeting with Gu Junci would be more complex and exciting than he had imagined.
He had already contacted Gu Junci at the hotel and explained his purpose. The other party acted as if he had been waiting for him, and his attitude was surprisingly good.
What's even more interesting is that the meeting place wasn't a company club, but her private residence.
He really wanted to see what this cunning woman was up to.
Unlike others who possessed a delicate, ethereal beauty and an otherworldly elegance, her private residence exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere.
It's not a sprawling estate, but rather a villa area that isn't too large. The main colors are light beige and cream white, complemented by dark brown wooden trim, creating an elegant yet warm atmosphere, very much like home.
As soon as Xiao Wujie got out of the car, an elderly man who looked like a butler greeted him with a polite smile.
The old man was very well-mannered, respectful and warm. He didn't waste any words, and after a simple greeting, he led Xiao Wujie inside.
Unlike the solemn and dignified residences of the wealthy and powerful, this place was occasionally filled with the cheerful laughter of children and the charming calls of maids.
"Young master, young lady, slow down!"
As the old man led him into a garden with pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water, he discovered the source of the sound.
On the lush green lawn, a pretty young girl was leading a three- or four-year-old child as they ran and flew a kite, with several little maids following nervously beside them.
A woman was sitting not far away, knitting something, and would occasionally look up at them.
Time is gentle, and life is peaceful.
In the ever-changing capital city, suddenly arriving at such a place gives one the illusion of stepping into a paradise.
The garden wasn't very large. Upon seeing the old man leading Xiao Wujie in, the pretty young girl immediately raised her arms and called out:
"Grandpa Butler, look how high this kite is flying!"
"Brilliant, truly brilliant! Miss Nian is amazing, and Young Master Zhe is amazing too!"
Upon hearing this, the old man responded with a smile.
He then led Xiao Wujie to a stone table and sat him down, respectfully saying, "Miss will be here soon," before turning and leaving.
Perhaps because few strangers had ever set foot in this place, the child saw Xiao Wujie sitting at the stone table and stumbled over to him, staring at him with wide, curious eyes.
It wasn't until Xiao Wujie looked at him with the same gaze that he realized what was happening. Two red clouds rose on his face, his eyes darted away, and his two little hands shyly intertwined.
After a long pause, he finally mustered his courage, raised his head, and said in a soft, sweet voice:
"Brother, you're so handsome!"
After saying that, she immediately lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at Xiao Wujie again, and started fiddling with her fingers.
"You are very beautiful too."
Xiao Wujie smiled and pinched his soft little face, chuckling softly.
Upon hearing this, the child immediately looked up with delight, his eyes sparkling as he gazed at Xiao Wujie, his face turning completely red.
"Really?"
Really?
Upon hearing Xiao Wujie's gentle reply with a rising intonation at the end, the child was both happy and shy, snuggling into his arms as if to say, "I like you" and "I want you to hug me."
This put Xiao Wujie in a difficult position.
He's always being carried, how would he know how to carry someone?
Fortunately, the pretty young girl arrived in time to save him from the predicament. She grabbed the child who was snuggling into the arms of the flustered Xiao Wujie.
He picked him up with great strength and then gently patted his little bottom, which immediately calmed the restless child down.
She then turned to look at Xiao Wujie and, with the air of a leader, said loudly:
"I'm sorry, brother!"
"Children don't know any better..."
"Xi...I hope...you forgive me..."
Just looking at the handsome man opposite her, who seemed like a celestial being, smiling gently at her, she couldn't help but blush. Her voice grew softer and softer until it was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, until it was completely silent.
Xiao Wujie guessed what she was thinking: Damn, he's so handsome, I really want to grow up and marry him!
The woman who had been sitting in the distance also came over at this moment.
"A-Nian, A-Zhe, don't disturb the guests!"
Her voice was gentle and moving, but it also seemed to carry an undeniable sense of dejection and helplessness.
The woman pulled the girl holding the child closer, lowered her eyes, and apologized to Xiao Wujie:
"I'm sorry, young master, please don't take offense!"
The woman was simply dressed, but her appearance was extremely elegant, and her demeanor and speech were also extraordinary. However, there was always a lingering sense of dejection between her brows.
After saying that, she ignored Xiao Wujie's reaction and led the two children away into the distance.
"Young Master Xiao, I apologize for being late."
"They didn't bother you, did they?"
