A strange excitement flickered in Li Xiu's eyes.
He felt much more comfortable here than in that dimly lit bedroom.
As he stroked Jiang Tian's hair, he said, "This is the basement room I used to live in. Do you remember the place I mentioned? I renovated it later. Originally, this was my place all by myself, but now it's yours and mine."
Looking back on his more than 20 years of life, Li Xiu realized that the safest and least worrisome place was actually that small basement.
Once he gained real power, he spent a fortune renovating the basement.
Actually, before Jiang Tian came to this villa, Li Xiu would occasionally come downstairs to live.
He likes the environment here and adapts to the style.
However, once Jiang Tian arrived, he had to desperately pretend to be a normal person, which made it impossible for him to enter this place.
Now, Li Xiu had told Jiang Tian everything he could. Since she said she could do whatever she wanted, Li Xiu excitedly brought her in.
Jiang Tian looked around. Although there were lights, they weren't very bright, and she could only make out the outline of Li Xiu's face.
"Is there no light?"
Jiang Tian couldn't help but ask a question.
She showed no surprise, shock, or fear at being moved to this place; her attitude was so natural that it was as if this were her home.
Jiang Tian's naturalness reassured Li Xiu.
Li Xiu told her, as if presenting a treasure, "There's a light."
He often stays here, so how could there be no lights?
"But, would you like to sleep a little longer?"
The reason Li Xiu didn't turn on the light was that he wanted Jiang Tian to sleep a little longer.
For several days in a row, she was exhausted.
Jiang Tian shook her head, but instead became interested and nudged Li Xiu: "Get up quickly, I want to see what this place is like."
Li Xiu was somewhat helpless, but he still helped Jiang Tian get dressed first.
Having just put on her shoes, Jiang Tian couldn't resist getting out of bed to go for a walk.
Li Xiu quickly followed his memory, found the switch, and turned on the light.
The entire basement was instantly illuminated.
Li Xiu used to live in a small basement, a cramped space where even breathing felt difficult.
However, the basement he renovated was much larger than before.
It's like a large, single-level underground space.
It has everything except for the dim lighting.
Having experienced hardship, Li Xiu would never allow himself to suffer again; he always used the best of everything.
Aside from being a bit dark and having a complicated design, no one but him knew how to get up here; it was just a small villa.
Jiang Tian toured the restrooms, the study, and even the gym.
She became increasingly interested, and as she walked, she asked Li Xiu, who was following behind her, "Did you design all of this?"
Li Xiu nodded. It was indeed his design; he personally drew the blueprints and oversaw the construction.
No one knows the layout of this place better than him; if he wants to, Jiang Tian will never be able to escape in this lifetime.
He had enough money to get Jiang Tian whatever she wanted.
This place is completely self-sufficient; Jiang Tian could live here for the rest of her life.
The thought that Jiang Tian would always be in this place made Li Xiu's lips curl into a smile.
His expression didn't surprise Jiang Tian. She insisted on asking him how he came up with these designs.
She was very curious about how the water was pumped from underground and how the equipment that could only be installed above ground was installed.
Li Xiu never expected that all the explanations he had prepared would be useless, and the physics knowledge he had learned would become the topic of conversation today.
Jiang Tian understood the design he was talking about and couldn't help but exclaim, "If these were implemented in your company, you could probably make a lot of money."
With enough money already, Li Xiu couldn't possibly reveal his private designs to the world.
Otherwise, they would have guessed that such a place existed in his villa.
In order to prevent this from happening, Li Xiu has been going to great lengths to cover it up.
The basement was built entirely by foreigners hired by Li Xiuquan. They finished the work and went back home, and no one knew that there was a special entity beneath the villa.
After spending the whole day shopping with Jiang Tian, Li Xiu noticed that she was a little tired, so he said, "I'll go cook for you first. Go get a stool and wait for me at the door."
Jiang Tian thought he was being a bit unreasonable: "Only you know the entrance and exit. I'm not going to run away. What am I waiting for you for? I want to go back to my bedroom."
In a short period of time, Jiang Tian had already thoroughly explored the entire basement, recognizing most of the different areas.
Li Xiu looked at her helplessly and refused her request: "No, if I let you go back to your bedroom, you will definitely go to sleep, and then when I call you for dinner, you will ignore me again."
In that case, Jiang Tian would go hungry.
Although she couldn't feel it in her sleep, Li Xiu couldn't allow her to have irregular eating habits.
Jiang Tian: "What's wrong with skipping a meal?"
