If that’s really the case, then this man is terrifying. Thinking of this, Lin Yixun felt a chill run through her entire body. She wiped the water from the corner of her lips, losing any appetite she had.
When Leng Yixiu came downstairs, he searched around the first floor but did not see Lin Yixun. He frowned, turned around, walked out of the villa, and saw her on the swing on the nearby lawn.
The morning sunlight fell on her, coating her in a layer of golden light. The swing swayed gently. In the quiet villa estate, her face held a faint smile, serene and beautiful, making one unable to resist approaching.
The man walked up behind her and gently pushed her. The sudden force on her back made Lin Yixun’s smile freeze, she did not turn her head, but her foot touched the ground at that moment.
The ground’s resistance caused the swing to stop suddenly, inertia nearly making Lin Yixun fall. Seeing this, the man quickly helped her.
Lin Yixun steadied herself, her gaze falling on the man’s well-defined hand, then she stepped back to avoid his touch. Sensing Lin Yixun’s aversion, a flicker of disappointment flashed in Leng Yixiu’s eyes, but he silently withdrew his hand.
"Shall I take you for a walk around?" the man suddenly spoke.
"No, I’m a bit tired."
Early in the morning, just after waking up, how could she be tired? Clearly, Lin Yixun did not want to be alone with Leng Yixiu. Leng Yixiu was no fool and naturally understood this.
The man pressed his lips tightly in displeasure, but his voice remained as calm as possible, "Someone will come to clean in a while, the air in the house isn’t good. Let’s take a walk outside, the morning air is fresher." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel{f}ire.net
What Leng Yixiu said seemed like a suggestion, but his tone was not one of consultation. Lin Yixun knew very well that if she insisted on going back, there would inevitably be a dispute, and her ears would suffer even more.
No matter in what form he appeared in front of her, this man was always overbearing.
Lin Yixun sullenly nodded, the gloom on the man’s face immediately dissipating. He reached out to hold Lin Yixun’s soft hand. Lin Yixun instinctively struggled but couldn’t break free.
In the end, she gave up.
The two walked along the main road in front of the villa, not knowing how far they had gone, and finally stopped in front of a vineyard. Behind the vast vineyard, Lin Yixun vaguely saw rows of red buildings. Only then did she belatedly realize that this place was a winery.
The guards at the winery’s entrance were very respectful upon seeing Leng Yixiu, and a special person even came forward to greet them. From the broken Chinese spoken by the British man, Lin Yixun learned that this winery was privately owned by Leng Yixiu.
The British man led them forward, and along the way, Lin Yixun could smell the intoxicating scent of wine. Eventually, they arrived at a European-style villa.
The villa was in a simple European style, small yet very exquisite. There was a space specifically for leisure and entertainment in the villa, separated by grape trellises. The design was very simple, with morning light filtering through the grape leaves, casting bright spots on the ground like stars, giving it a unique charm.
"Sir, Miss, please wait a moment!"
The British man politely bowed and then retreated. After a short while, he returned with a bottle of red wine and some pastries. The wine was an unsellable item from the cellar. Every time Leng Yixiu came, he would have them bring out some.
However, in the past, Leng Yixiu always came alone, but this time, there was a woman beside him.
