Lin Wanxing was taking a walk in the back garden. After eating a small cake, he ate some chocolate sandwich cookies and drank a large glass of juice. After eating all of this, his stomach was full.
The detached villa features meticulously designed landscaping comparable to a park.
Lin Wanxing was so full that he rubbed his belly.
He couldn't stop eating the small cakes once he started, and sandwich cookies were also his favorites. It wasn't that he was greedy; it's just that everything the family pastry chef made was delicious, and he couldn't resist.
He walked slowly forward step by step. Under the big tree, sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto Lin Wanxing's fair face. The dappled light and shadow swayed on his delicate cheeks in the wind, and his long eyelashes cast a halo of light.
Lin Wanxing, carrying a small satchel, paced back and forth under the tree with his hands and feet moving in unison, looking rather dazed, much like a little child.
The servants saw Lin Wanxing. They all knew that Mr. Shen had brought him back not long ago, but Lin Wanxing usually liked to stay in his room and rarely went out for a stroll.
So many of the servants were seeing him for the first time.
"That's what Mr. Shen brought back. I heard there's something wrong with it."
The maid, Xue, smiled and pointed to her temple, whispering to the maid next to her. Her smile was full of disdain and mockery.
Ah Xue shook her head, clicked her tongue, shrugged, and said sarcastically:
"How pitiful. He's so handsome, but he's an idiot. What's the use of being so good-looking if he's an idiot? It's just like the saying, 'He has a beautiful face, but no brain.'"
The servants never talked about Shen Huai'an behind his back, but Lin Wanxing was different.
The servants often commented on him.
They even speculated that Shen Huai'an had brought him back on a whim.
When the maid saw Lin Wanxing walking over, she quickly reminded Xue, "Sister Xue, don't say anything. It wouldn't be good if he heard you."
Ah Xue rolled her eyes indifferently. "Tch, so what if he heard? Can he even understand what I'm saying? He's only been here a few days and he already thinks he's the master of this place?"
Ah Xue was one of the younger and prettier maids. She had been working there steadily all these years, and she believed that since she was pretty and young, Mr. Shen would notice her sooner or later.
So she would often deliberately appear at the villa, looking for opportunities to show her face in front of Shen Huai'an, thinking that this would attract his attention.
However, Shen Huai'an was very busy every day and had no time to spare for other things. As for the servants at home, he didn't care much about them.
Ah Xue was confident that her beauty was unmatched; at least her face was truly beautiful, with affectionate eyes and a delicate, petite figure that would make anyone's heart flutter.
But Shen Huai'an wouldn't even glance at her. Although Xue was discouraged, she eventually came to her senses that someone like Mr. Shen probably wouldn't fall in love with anyone else in his life.
This is not her fault; Mr. Shen himself has the problem.
Thinking this way, she stopped worrying and even gave up those unreliable ideas from before. She thought she could live a peaceful life forever.
But Lin Wanxing's arrival rekindled her passion.
If even a fool like Lin Wanxing can easily get Shen Huai'an's attention, then what makes me lack anything?
Ah Xue was always secretly inquiring about Lin Wanxing; she had heard about Lin Wanxing from Butler Li.
She felt she had a good chance, but after seeing Lin Wanxing today, she suddenly felt a different kind of disgust.
That face was even more beautiful than she had imagined.
Lin Wanxing casually picked a flower, then stroked it and put it on his head. The pink rose was placed behind his ear. Lin Wanxing carefully stroked the flower behind his ear. Under the dappled shadows of the trees, he smiled so brightly that he looked even more delicate than the flower.
He jumped around happily under the tree, just like an innocent boy.
Ah Xue stood at a distance, staring intently at Lin Wanxing. She gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "Look at his stupidity. How could Mr. Shen like him?"
A maid replied, "Perhaps Mr. Chen likes him just the way he is. He may be silly, but he's undeniably handsome."
Hearing someone speak up for Lin Wanxing, Xue's face slowly scrunched up; she didn't want to hear anyone praising that fool.
"A fool is a fool. He's different from normal people. No matter how beautiful he is, he's still a fool."
"It's not quite right for you to say that. Besides, Mr. Shen's liking for him is his own business. We're just doing this for money, and we have no right to interfere in Mr. Shen's private affairs."
These words clearly provoked Ah Xue, who reacted as if someone had stepped on her tail and suddenly exploded.
She raised her voice and shouted:
"I can't control him, but a fool is a fool. Am I wrong? Mr. Shen is just keeping him around like a pet because he's temporarily interested. He'll kick him aside when he gets tired of him."
Her angry and embarrassed demeanor really made her seem like someone who had their secrets exposed but was still stubbornly refusing to admit it.
Her sharp voice caught Lin Wanxing's attention.
He walked over slowly and overheard every word Ah Xue had just said.
He wore a flower, and the boy walked towards us step by step, as if he had stepped out of a painting.
A gentle breeze brushed past his ear, blowing his soft bangs.
His delicate skin glowed white in the sunlight, creating a striking contrast with his jet-black hair. The boy with his fair skin and black hair looked like an elf who had just arrived in the human world.
Lin Wanxing happily jogged over and excitedly shouted, "Are you guys playing hide-and-seek here?"
