Chapter 4 Oops, he looked so serious.
Two days later, Zhuang Fuyao moved into Boya Bay.
Aunt Yuan went over to help with the luggage, her tone warm and welcoming, "Oh, it's you."
Zhuang Fuyao gave an awkward laugh.
When she first transmigrated, she wanted to see Liang Huaixu but hadn't figured out how to face him, so she wandered around the area, hoping to get lucky and catch a glimpse of him from afar.
As a result, his housekeeper discovered him and he was almost mistaken for a thief.
She said she was Liang Huaixu's friend. His housekeeper was skeptical and asked many questions with great caution. Only after she answered them all correctly did she not send her to the police station.
...Thinking about it now, it's still quite dramatic.
After tidying up, Aunt Yuan took her for a walk downstairs.
This is a well-known affluent area in Jiang City in recent years, consisting mainly of large estates and villas. Take this house for example, it is divided into a main building and an annex, as well as north and south-facing gardens. The north garden is relatively spacious, with only a fountain and lawn, while the south garden features Chinese-style landscaping, with a beautiful view at every turn.
As Aunt Yuan walked, she explained, "There are five housekeepers in the family, including myself, three gardeners, one driver, and one head chef. Apart from my husband and young master Chaoluo, everyone else lives in the annex."
After she finished speaking, she added, "There used to be another housekeeper, Cao, who was also here, but he was sent to his home in England some time ago."
Cao, the steward, and Zhuang Fuyao knew each other.
Butler Cao's original name was Cao Yu. When she married Liang Huaixu, the Liang family sent her to take care of her and Liang Huaixu's daily life.
Aside from Butler Cao, she noticed that everyone here was a stranger.
After taking a stroll, Zhuang Fuyao returned to the main building for dinner.
The Liang family has many rules; servants and masters don't eat together. And since Liang Huaixu is still abroad, she's eating all the food on the table by herself.
She felt it was too wasteful. "If I'm eating alone, I don't need to make so much. Three dishes and a soup will suffice."
Mr. Chen looked at Aunt Yuan with some difficulty.
Aunt Yuan understood what he meant and spoke up for him, "The master instructed us to treat you well. If he sees this when he returns, he'll think we haven't been hospitable enough..."
"No, he—" dares not.
Zhuang Fuyao paused for a moment. She had known Liang Huaixu for seven years and dated him for four, so some of her reactions were subconscious.
“He won’t. I’ll explain to him privately that it’s my request and has nothing to do with you.”
Hearing this, Master Chen felt relieved.
After finishing her meal, Zhuang Fuyao went upstairs to rest.
I woke up at nine o'clock the next morning.
After several days of practice, her makeup skills improved by leaps and bounds. After finishing her makeup, she chose a dark brown halter-neck dress to change into, sprayed on some perfume, and went downstairs.
When Aunt Yuan saw her, she was stunned for a moment.
I met Ms. Zhuang yesterday. Although she looks quite young, I deduced that her actual age should not be much different from Mr. Liang's.
Seeing Miss Zhuang dressed like this today, Aunt Yuan began to doubt her own assumptions.
This looks like a college graduate who has just entered the workforce.
If Ms. Zhuang were a recent college graduate, the age difference between her and Mr. Liang would be more than ten years, which is actually within the normal range. However, given Mr. Liang's situation, it feels particularly abrupt. Ultimately, it's because she doesn't think Mr. Liang is that kind of person.
So could it be that she made a mistake?
Actually, she's not my girlfriend?
She wanted to ask several times, but held back. Having worked in this line of work for so many years, she had developed her own set of rules. As warm and welcoming as the family was, she couldn't presume to pry into their private affairs.
So she simply asked with concern, "Ms. Zhuang, breakfast is ready at the restaurant. Are you going out later?"
Zhuang Fuyao smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be coming back for lunch."
She drove to the film studio and spent most of the day supervising before returning.
When I got home, my back ached, so I ate a few bites of food and went back to my room to rest.
She's currently obsessed with a special forces combat game, spending her days ranking up and racking up kills. After Song Qing and Bagel got off work, they teamed up and played a few more rounds. Before they knew it, it was past ten o'clock.
Unlike her, who had nothing to do, Song Qing and Beiguo both had to go to work tomorrow and should log off at this time.
"We're logging off now, you should go to sleep early too."
"Okay, I'll go take a shower after I finish this game." Zhuang Fuyao yawned.
-
Liang Huaixu had just landed at Jiangshi Airport.
Grandma Liang was fine; she was just getting on in years and inevitably had some minor ailments. Liang Huaixu stayed there for two days before the old lady sent him back to China.
He did want to stay there a few more days, but Changting really couldn't do without him now. If he wanted to find some peace and quiet, he would have to wait until his son could take over his position.
Thinking of this, he made a video call to Liang Chaoluo.
The video call connected, and the lights on the other end flickered on and off, shining on my face like something out of a horror movie.
Liang Huaixu frowned. "Where are you?"
"Inside the car." Liang Chaoluo was already used to this beat-up car. He skillfully patted the headlight, and the light inside the car finally stabilized, revealing a cold but slightly haggard face. "Just got off work."
Liang Huaixu: "How have you been feeling lately?"
Liang Chaoluo said in a stiff tone, "It's pretty good. My supervisor even praised me today."
Liang Huaixu raised an eyebrow.
Liang Chaoluo had a girlfriend in college, and after graduation, she said she wanted to get married. He felt that the girl was too soft-hearted and couldn't make decisions.
Liang Chaoluo thought he was going to break up the couple, so she reacted very strongly, as if her belated rebellious phase had arrived, and had a big fight with him.
In fact, if his son really insists on a relationship, he won't object. Of course, this doesn't stop him from using this opportunity to send people to the grassroots level for training.
Liang Chaoluo has been working at the grassroots level for three months now, and he does look much more haggard, but the results are good. The once pampered and arrogant young man has now tasted the hardships of life.
He asked a few questions and then hung up.
Cars came and went outside the window, and Jiang City was still bustling late at night. Liang Huaixu was lost in thought for a while.
I wonder how Zhuang Fuyao is doing these days.
When he got home, he glanced at the second floor and saw that the lights were off. He assumed she was already asleep, so he didn't disturb her and went straight to the third floor.
The lights in the house are all smart sensors, and Liang Huaixu, used to bright environments, didn't notice anything different today...
He turned the living room TV to the side, and the glass wall in the bathroom had adjustable settings. When he had free time, he would turn the frosted wall in the bathroom to transparent so he could watch movies while taking a bath.
As he got closer, he vaguely sensed something was wrong, but it was too late.
My hand was a step faster than my reaction.
"--ah!"
With a scream, Liang Huaixu's face turned red.
Aaaaaaah!
Zhuang Fuyao was startled, not because Liang Huaixu had seen her naked, since in her mind, the two had just been enjoying their intimate moments not long ago.
What startled her was the glass. She was taking a shower when suddenly the frosted glass turned transparent, and there was a person standing on the other side.
It's so late at night, even two hearts like hers would be terrified.
Are glass products this advanced even 16 years from now?
Liang Huaixu held the remote control as if it were burning hot and readjusted the glass to fog mode.
"..."
Zhuang Fuyao adjusted her breathing and finished her bath. When she came out, she was much calmer.
Wrapped in a bath towel, she looked Liang Huaixu up and down, her tone somewhat intriguing, "I didn't realize you were so adept at this."
Liang Huaixu: "…………"
After making such a big blunder, he lost all interest in taking a bath.
He stood awkwardly outside Zhuang Fuyao's door, and after a while, he knocked.
"what?"
Zhuang Fuyao leaned against the door frame, her face flushed after taking a shower. Her hair, which had been covered by a hair drying cap, was now down, carrying a sweet, damp scent.
Liang Huaixu stood motionless outside the door. "I feel it's necessary for me to explain to you about tonight's unexpected incident."
His serious demeanor reminded Zhuang Fuyao of when they first started dating.
In the hormone-fueled university campus, other couples who had known each other for so long would have already been deeply in love, but her progress with Liang Huaixu was still limited to a fleeting kiss.
Looking at her boyfriend, who was exactly her type every day, Zhuang Fuyao found it hard not to do something. She observed him for her entire freshman and sophomore years, and finally found an opportunity during her junior year internship.
At the time, she was interning in another province, and in order to spend more time together, Liang Huaixu did not stay out alone when they met.
Several times, when the atmosphere was just right and Liang Huaixu was clearly very moved, he only kissed her restrainedly and kept her hands under control, preventing her from making any excessive movements.
Later she learned that Liang Huaixu, in his early twenties, had the body of an old-fashioned man who believed that such things could only be done after marriage.
Compared to his nervous and shy demeanor, she seemed like a bewitching enchantress...
Recalling this, Zhuang Fuyao curled her lips playfully, "Explain what?"
