A pot of tea was placed on the short table.

His back view was too familiar. It was so familiar that one could tell who was sitting there with just a glance from afar.

The white gauze behind his head, one long and one short were tied to his jet-black hair. When the wind blew, it was elegant.

Although it was May, the weather was not so hot and the temperature was suitable.

Qin Shu wore soft slippers and walked to the lakeside. Only then did she realize that there was no bridge or boat here. The lakeside was about ten meters away from the centre of the lake. If her martial art strength was higher, she could go there without any props.

She looked at the gazebo in the centre of the lake again. There was a boat docked by the gazebo. Chao Yan should have gone there by boat.

She planned to argue with him about why he had done this, but now it seemed that it would depend on his mood if she wanted to talk to him.

Yin Shi walked over at this time. He lowered his head slightly and said, “Miss Qin, you just woke up. Eat something first. Miss Qin can walk around here as you please.”

It would have been better if he didn’t mention it, but when it came to eating, Qin Shu was hungry. She looked at the people in the gazebo and turned to Yin Shi. “Prepare a boat for me.”

Yin Shi raised his head and looked at the gazebo as if he had guessed what she was going to do with the boat. He said, “My master doesn’t want to be disturbed.”

He doesn’t want to be disturbed?

Qin Shu sneered. “Then why did he bring me here? Didn’t he want me to accompany him? He threatened me repeatedly for his selfish desires. Now he has even used such a silly method, and he’s hiding. Is he guilty?”

Yin Shi lowered his head and said, “As a subordinate, I don’t dare to make wild guesses about a master’s thoughts. Miss Qin, just say it.”

What was the most sullen thing to say?

It was just that when you said a bunch of things, the other party only replied indifferently. It was like a punch hitting cotton. She used all his strength, but it was useless.

“Then how many days does he plan to let me stay here? If I suddenly disappear, my parents and my son will be anxious. Give my phone back, and I’ll call to tell them that I’m safe.”

Yin Shi replied, ” Master sent a letter to Madam President yesterday to tell her that you are safe.”

Although she was dissatisfied with Chao Yan’s actions, at least Mommy and the others wouldn’t be worried if she reported to them safely. She asked again, “Then when can I leave?”

Yin Shi still answered with his head lowered, “That depends on the master’s mood. If the master is in a good mood, Miss Qin can leave earlier.”

Depends on his mood?

The corner of Qin Shu’s mouth twitched. Who knew when he would be in a good mood?

She raised her head and looked at the gazebo in the middle of the lake. The white figure in the gazebo sat there motionlessly as if in a trance, immersed in his world.

She ignored Chao Yan and turned to Yin Shi. “Bring me to eat something.”

No matter how angry she was, she had to eat. Only when she was full would she have the strength to think of a way.

“Miss Qin, please follow me.”

Yin Shi led the way.

Qin Shu followed behind at a leisurely pace.

The road was paved with green stone slabs, and the lawn, flowers, and trees were all carefully arranged. Although the place was not big, it was very beautiful.

Yin Shi brought her to a wooden house at the side. It was very spacious. In the middle was the dining table with breakfast on it. There was a vase with fresh flowers on it. There were four chairs around the dining table.

There was a sofa and coffee table on the right and a bookshelf on the left. The bookshelf was filled with books.

All the furniture here was made of solid wood, and the colour was the same dark brown colour.

Qin Shu came to the dining table and sat down. She lowered her eyes and looked at the breakfast in front of her. The food was very exquisite, and it made people want to eat it.

She picked up her chopsticks and slowly ate the food in front of her, as well as the lean meat porridge.

Yin Shi stood not far away as if waiting for her instructions.

Although Qin Shu was hungry, she didn’t eat much. The main reason was that she wasn’t in a good mood, so she only drank a small bowl of porridge.

She took out a piece of tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Yin Shi walked over and saw that the food on the table hadn’t moved much, so he asked, “Miss Qin, this is all you eat?”

Qin Shu smiled and asked, “Do you think I have the appetite to eat?”

Yin Shi was speechless for a moment. He knew what Qin Shu meant.

Qin Shu was about to walk away, but when she saw Yin Shi’s silent expression, she stopped. “What kind of person do you think your master is?”

Yin Shi did not know why Qin Shu asked this, but he still replied, “My master is a nice person.”

Qin Shu sneered, “I gave him the remaining antidote, but he thought of Fu Tingyu and brought me here against my will. Is this nice?”

Yin Shi raised his head and looked at Qin Shu. He wanted to open his mouth to explain on behalf of his master, but when he thought of his master’s instructions, he pursed his lips tightly and didn’t say a word.

Seeing that Yin Shi didn’t say anything, Qin Shu walked away.

After Qin Shu left, Yin Shi sighed and asked someone to clean up the dining table.

Qin Shu walked out of the dining room and went to the artificial lake again. She stood on the shore and looked at the gazebo in the middle of the lake. The white figure seemed to have not moved at all. She remembered that before dinner, he sat like this too, he was still sitting in the same way.

She did not understand his intention, he brought her over and ignored her.

After watching for a while, she turned around and left.

In the evening, Qin Shu took a walk around the house after dinner to digest her food.

She had not seen Chao Yan for more than half a day since she came here.

The moon was hung high in the sky, and it was very comfortable when the cold wind blew over.

She felt that it was about time, so she turned around and walked into the house, intending to take a shower and sleep.

The bathroom here was a little different. The bathtub was made of stone, and the surface was polished very smooth.

There was also an exquisite flower basket next to it. The flower basket had all kinds of rose-coloured petals.

She stayed in a five-star hotel and had never seen anyone prepare flowers for a bubble bath.

Out of the freshness, she sprinkled some fresh petals in the bathtub. Then she began to take off her clothes and put her feet in the bathtub. Her skin was very white, and her jade feet, which had not been exposed to the sun all year round, were even fairer. It was very similar to high-quality white jade.

The warm water, together with the fresh flowers, was extremely comfortable to soak in.

She enjoyed it, but at the same time, she was sad.

She raised her head weakly, and the towel behind her neck did not hurt her. Instead, it was very comfortable.

She looked at the gentle light above her head, and in her mind, she thought of the white figure in the gazebo.

There was a bit of loneliness and indescribable emotion. She felt like he was being abandoned by all the people.

After taking a shower, she picked up a towel to wipe off the water droplets on her body. After wiping it clean, she put on her bathrobe and casually tied a knot on her belt. Then, she pushed the door open and walked out.

There was a clock on the table in the room. It showed that it was 9:30 pm.

It was slightly early to go to bed at this time, but there was nothing else to do if she did not go to bed.

She came to the bedside and looked at the huge rosewood-carved bed. She could roll around on it.

She lifted the blanket and lay down inside. The room was lit with incense. It was faint and smelled very good.

She thought that she would not be able to sleep so early. In the end, not long after she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the window, the moon hung high in the sky. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The tightly shut wooden door was pushed open by someone. The person’s movements were very light as if he was afraid of waking up the people in the room.

The moment the door was opened, moonlight shone in and a white figure walked in. His body was slender and the light shone on his body, pulling his shadow very long.

After the person came in, the door closed, and the room fell into darkness again.

The white figure slowly came to the bedside. He groped and sat down by the bedside. After he sat down, he reached out his hand, and with a slow and gentle movement, he touched her arm and slowly moved it up along her arm. When he came to the deeply sunken collarbone, he felt like a silk gourd. His fingers paused, and then they trembled twice.

He moved up another two inches to her delicate neck and then to her cheeks. This time, his movements were even gentler. He moved up from her cheeks to her eyes and eyebrows. He gently caressed her face, it was as if he wanted to remember her face in his mind.

The person on the bed was sound asleep. She was deeply asleep. She did not know that someone came into the room, and she did not know that someone was touching her face.

When he was done touching her face, he slowly moved his hand away and lifted a corner of the blanket. He slowly laid down beside her.

After he laid down, he did not move and began to sleep quietly.

…

…

Qin Shu slept soundly. She woke up naturally and was in good spirits.

After she washed up, she went to eat breakfast.

She thought that she would see Chao Yan during breakfast, but she did not. There were dishes on the table, but she did not see Chao Yan.

She turned to look at Yin Shi and asked, “Where’s your master?”

Yin Shi replied, “My master is in the gazebo.”

In the gazebo again?

A hint of doubt flashed in Qin Shu’s eyes. What was Chao Yan trying to do?

She had a good sleep and a good appetite. She knew that her appetite hadn’t been good since yesterday. She couldn’t eat much when she looked at the dishes that looked good and tasted good.

She ate some food and drank some millet porridge, but she did not eat any more.

She walked out of the restaurant and once again stood by the artificial lake. She looked at the gazebo in the centre of the lake. The white figure sat next to the wooden table, motionless, just like yesterday.

It made her think of a child throwing a tantrum. When she was angry, she hid to the side and did not say a word. She ignored everyone and was sulking alone.

“Such a childish man.”

Qin Shu retracted her gaze and turned to leave. She did not return to her room but walked around.

She never thought of leaving since yesterday because she had something to ask Chao Yan.

Now, he looked like he did not care about anyone. She did not need to stay any longer. She wanted to leave this place.

Although this was the peak of the mountain, it was very big and messy. It was very flat too. It seemed to be man-made.

She walked around casually and knew that Yin Shi was not far behind her.

She walked around and found that there were cliffs all around her. In any case, there was not a single path that a person could walk on.

She suddenly realized that this place was like a cage in the air. The scenery was pleasant, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, but it was a place without freedom.

Now, she did not know how to describe Chao Yan. This time, he was more ruthless than ever.

He was deliberately trying to trap her.

Trap her for what?

She suddenly remembered that Chao Yan mentioned two days ago that he wanted her to hate him and always hate him, so he did this?

At this time, Yin Shi walked over and reminded her, “Miss Qin, unless you take a private plane, or else you can’t leave this place.”

Qin Shu turned to look at Yin Shi and looked at him coldly. “Tell him that I hate him now and regret knowing him very much.”

With that, she turned around and left in large strides.

Yin Shi stood where he was and did not move. He raised his head to look at the back of Qin Shu as she left. He only sighed and turned around to leave.

In the gazebo, a gentle breeze blew, and the white gauze fluttered in the wind.

Chao Yan sat upright on the tatami and placed his right hand casually on the short table. Although he could not see it, it gave people the illusion that he was looking forward. It was as if there was something in front of him that attracted his attention and made him unable to look away.

When Yin Shi came in, he brought a cotton cake and placed it on the short table. The cotton cake tasted very soft and was sweet but not greasy.

Then, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and placed it on the side.

“Master, eat something first,” Yin Shi reminded him.

Chao Yan sat there without moving. His pale lips opened slightly. “Did she say anything?”

Yin Shi lowered his head and replied, “Miss Qin did not say anything. She is just curious as to why master brought her here.”

Upon hearing this, Chao Yan moved his body and raised his head as if he was looking at Yin Shi. He repeated, “What exactly did she say?”

Yin Shi raised his head to look at the master and hesitated, “Master…”

Chao Yan’s voice turned colder, “Tell me the truth.”

Yin Shi knew that the master was angry. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Master, Miss Qin said that she hates you now and is very…” no matter how hard he tried he could not say the last sentence.

Chao Yan lowered his head as if he had guessed it. He said slowly, “She regrets knowing me, right?”

Yin Shi said in a low voice, “Yes.” It was as if he was afraid that his master would hear it.

Chao Yan said, “You can go.”

“Master, remember to eat something.”

Yin Shi looked at his master with some worry. In the end, he still walked out of the gazebo.

After Yin Shi left, the gazebo became quiet again. Other than the sound of the wind, there was nothing else.

Chao Yan just sat there motionlessly, just like before. It was as if he was cut off from everyone, waiting quietly.

…

…

After Fu Tingyu got off the plane, he immediately took a car to the president’s manor, his father-in-law’s house.

He didn’t think that his master would be Babe’s biological father, much less than his master was his father-in-law.

It couldn’t be so coincidental.

After two hours of driving, they arrived at the president’s manor.

Fu Tingyu got out of the car in his suit and looked up at the president’s manor before walking in.

Fu Tingyu could walk in directly without any notice as he had been informed beforehand.

As soon as he walked in, the butler came up to him. “Son-in-law, please come in.”

Fu Tingyu nodded and followed the butler into the manor.

His steps were orderly, but he couldn’t wait to go in. He wanted to see his wife, he felt that he couldn’t wait for even a second.

The presidential manor was very big. After walking for a while, he finally reached a separate courtyard.

Xiao Jiu saw Fu Tingyu in his suit at a glance. He ran over and shouted, “Daddy.”

Fu Tingyu saw Xiao Jiu. He hadn’t seen his son for some time, so he squatted down and picked up his son who was pouncing on him.

Xiao Jiu looked at Fu Tingyu in surprise. “Daddy, why didn’t you come earlier?”
