Chapter 4 He's like a water ghost, wanting to haunt her for life!
The Fu Family Manor covers a vast area and is a modern Chinese-style manor. Several villas are separated into courtyards, interspersed with pavilions, waterside terraces, ponds and small bridges, which is very elegant.
Yujing Garden is located in the very center of the manor, where Madam Fu and her two brothers, Fu Yanshen and Fu Laoshi, lived.
Lotus Fragrance Courtyard is where Madam Fu's daughter and her family live, which is Fu Yanshen's aunt's family.
Next to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard is the Lilac Pavilion, where Fu Yanshen's uncle lives.
At the dinner table, Xia Mian nodded after listening to Madam Fu's general explanation of the manor's layout and relatives.
"Grandma, I just finished my college entrance exam. I'll go to school when it starts and won't bother you for too long."
She wasn't thick-skinned enough to stay at someone else's house for a long time, especially a large family.
Just because Madam Fu accepted her doesn't mean these relatives will accept her as well.
So... in order not to cause so much trouble for Madam Fu, she made up her mind to move out when school started.
The handsome man was peeling shrimp when he heard that she was moving out, and his fingers paused.
The smooth, naked shrimp fell under the table.
Madam Fu raised her eyes and gave her grandson a mischievous look.
She held Xia Mian's hand and said reproachfully, "You silly child, since I brought you back, you're my own granddaughter. You can't leave me!"
Xia Mian happily hugged Madam Fu's arm, her smile charming and lovely, "Grandma, you're so kind!"
Madam Fu noticed that Fu Yanshen had already peeled a plate of shrimp.
She pretended to be domineering and snatched it away, saying, "Mianmian and I will eat this plate of shrimp."
She spoke while staring at her grandson's face.
Sure enough, Fu Yanshen's deep gaze swept across Xia Mian's delicate and pretty face as if by accident.
She guessed right!
Fu Yanshen hadn't originally intended to eat the shrimp he peeled himself!
After dinner, Xia Mian went back to her room to rest.
Madam Fu summoned Fu Yanshen to her study.
The kindness she showed when facing Xia Mian vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
"Tell me, why were you in such a hurry to send me to the Xia family and bring Xia Mian back to you?"
The man was tall, and his shadow was stretched extremely long by the light.
He remained silent for a moment before slowly raising his eyes, his gaze filled with pain and moisture, as he looked at his grandmother.
"Maybe it's because she's so pitiful."
In her past life, she saved him!
They removed the fatal bullet from him, but he still didn't survive more than a few years before dying.
Only after he died did he realize how miserable Xia Mian's life had been and how tragic her death was.
He always remembered her clear eyes. In the years before his death, it was those bright eyes in his memory that supported him as he swallowed his pain.
Thank God, he was reborn!
Reborn on the very day Xia Mian's bitter days began!
Without saying a word, he immediately begged his grandmother to bring Xia Mian back.
“Yanshen, you’ve always been steady and reliable, and Grandma trusts you a lot. You’re twenty-four, but you’ve never been in a relationship before. This is the first girl you’ve ever taken a liking to.”
Madam Fu sighed softly, "Grandma will dote on her because of you."
She paused for a moment after speaking.
His gaze suddenly turned sharp. "On the condition that she doesn't do anything to harm the Fu family."
Fu Yanshen's gaze was reserved. "Grandma, don't worry, Xia Mian won't do that. She's a very good girl."
“You speak so highly of her. I’d like to see what kind of girl she is that could make my grandson…” Old Madam Fu’s smile returned, but she said nothing more. “Go out. I’m tired.”
After Fu Yanshen left the study, Madam Fu picked up a family photo on the desk and murmured to herself.
“Old man, I think our grandson has fallen for this girl, but he’s still denying it.”
"Eldest brother and wife, you both passed away early. Yan Shen has grown up and it's time for him to get married."
...
The torrential rain that had fallen all night had stopped, and the air after the rain was fresh and pleasant.
After leaving those trashy buddies, Xia Mian slept soundly through the night.
She yawned, opened the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and looked at the lush greenery in the courtyard, feeling instantly refreshed.
It's so good to be alive!
Xia Mian took two light sniffs, and a refreshing sandalwood scent mixed with the aroma of mint wafted over.
She turned her head following the scent and met Fu Yanshen's deep, dark eyes.
The man was expressionless, with thin lips, a straight nose, and handsome features bathed in the pale golden sunlight of the morning, making him almost unreal.
He was only wearing a black silk robe, the chest slightly open, revealing a hint of his honey-colored chest, with clearly defined muscle lines.
Xia Mian's cheeks flushed, and she quickly looked away as if she had been electrocuted.
She never expected that Fu Yanshen was only separated from her by a wall!
Considering that I am now a guest, it would be inappropriate to suddenly slip back into my room without saying hello.
She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace than a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Fu."
Bathed in sunlight, Fu Yanshen looked as handsome as a god descending to earth. He slightly lifted his eyelids and said, "Good morning."
His deep gaze was fixed on Xia Mian, carrying a meaning that Xia Mian could not understand.
The man's oppressive presence was so strong that she froze on the spot, inexplicably wanting to escape!
In the man's eyes, the girl was beautiful and cute, with fair and smooth skin, as tender as a porcelain doll. Her big eyes blinked and looked at him like whirlpools, capable of sucking people in.
She was wearing an adorable cartoon cat pajama set, revealing her slender legs and snow-white arms. He had clearly seen her push open the window earlier; she was smiling so brightly and happily!
Seeing her smiling face, his damp and gloomy mood unconsciously brightened up.
All the clothes in the closet and all the decorations in the room were carefully selected and personally arranged by him.
He wanted to raise her a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Lu Lian'er!
He wanted her to live a happy and joyful life, not to die a tragic death in a desolate place like in her previous life.
He wanted her to be the rose blooming in the palm of his hand!
Just as Xia Mian was wondering what to say to Fu Yanshen, her stomach suddenly growled.
Her cheeks flushed bright red, and her slender white hands touched her lower abdomen. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.
"Excuse me, Mr. Fu, I'm hungry."
Twice now!
Early in the morning, she, a guest staying at the host's place, was so embarrassed that she felt like she could dig out ten Fu family manors in front of the host.
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Fu Yanshen's outrageously handsome face. "Then let's go have breakfast."
He thought she was adorable no matter how he looked at her!
