The Shen Qianshu who was previously so ambitious almost swallowed her own tongue.
Waking up at 5 am?
Are you kidding me?
“Sure!”
Tong Hua was stunned. “… Seriously?”
“Very!”
“…”
Oh dear, mommy, I thought you just wanted to flirt around. What a big sacrifice this is…
Zhong Ran and the others thought, Oh no… Master is turning into an incapable ruler! This workaholic man who is so busy is actually willing to spend two hours a day to teach Shen Qianshu fighting skills. If this isn’t an incapable ruler, what is!!!
Tong Hua went around to explore this new place. The previous time he came to the castle, he did not have enough time to look at it properly. This time, Zhong Ran dragged him around exploring. Rose Castle was huge, and it was a really big patch of land. Not too far away, there was a little lake. The scenery was really beautiful.
Shen Qianshu sat at the top of the castle. The building had a continental architectural style. This was totally not coordinated with the villas nearby as it was full of Master’s personal aesthetic and taste. At this moment, the sun was setting, and the castle was covered in a blanket of bright orange sunlight.
She enjoyed the breeze, feeling really good.
She still had some fear for the castle, yet for some reason, she did not dislike it. This reminded her of the castle from when she was in Paris.
Ye Ling stood behind her silently, not making a single bit of noise.
She sat while he stood behind her with his arms behind his back. The mountains from afar were stacked together, and as the sun set, it created a scenery that brought out the beautiful sadness and charm of sunsets.
“Master, is this place inspired by the castle in Paris?”
The scenery was so similar.
Ye Ling said calmly, “This plot of land is private property. I’m used to living in the Flame Castle in Paris, so Luther found this little castle that has some resemblance of it. The scenery is also the same.”
“I see.”
The setting sun shone on them, making their shadows very, very long.
The two of them had been going around in circles and yet returning back to their starting point.
Shen Qianshu tugged at his shirt lightly and looked up at him as if she was staring into the universe. Her eyes were clear and bright. It was as if she had things to say, yet she felt as if things were better left unsaid.
Beautiful yet sacred.
Master, I like you!
You and I have predestined fate. We went through so much. Could you please approve of my love at first sight?
Let’s start all over again.
Can we?
Zhong Ran rushed up to the top floor of the castle. “Master, there’s something wrong with the surveillance cameras!”
Ye Ling’s face darkened. The sun shone on his face, making his expression hard to decipher. “Come with us.”
They returned to the monitoring room together. The monitoring room was located on the right side of the small castle. It was a large room of more than 80 square meters, and it was filled with big screens showing all the different areas in the castle where cameras were put up. There were almost no blind spots. On the roof, there were four snipers who worked 24-hour shifts. In the monitoring room, there were more than a dozen ‘bros’ in it who always appeared and vanished suddenly. They barely got under the sun. If they were not in the monitoring room in Rose Castle, they would probably be in monitoring rooms in other places.
There were some things that Shen Qianshu should not have seen, but the switching of screens was really fast, and they were covered up quickly.
“Is this in my house?” Shen Qianshu stared into the screen with a puzzled look on her face. There were two men lurking around outside entrance of their house. One of them went to break the surveillance camera along the corridor in her house and did not notice that there was another hidden one.
After breaking the surveillance camera along the corridor, he knocked on the door and appeared to be saying some things.
There were no replies from behind the door.
The two people opened the door easily and entered a room. They took out firearms from behind them, and Shen Qianshu’s facial expression changed drastically.
Shen Qianshu asked, “Who are they?”
Zhong Ran said, “Miss Shen, it’s the Lu Family. I find one of them really familiar.”
“Lu Mengyun?”
