Chapter 684: 186: All the stars surround the moon, infinite scenery_4
Lin Fang looked at Zhao Shen, her face pale, “As long as I don’t have to go home, anywhere will do.”
Zhao Shen stayed silent for a while, ultimately choosing to drive away.
Eventually, Zhao Shen parked in front of a villa with Lin Fang.
Zhao Shen was truly wealthy, this villa was just one of many properties he owned.
Looking at the luxurious villa, a determined expression flashed in Lin Fang’s eyes.
Zhao Shen led Lin Fang inside, where a servant immediately greeted them, “Mr. Zhao.”
Zhao Shen nodded in acknowledgement.
The servant looked up and was taken aback to see that the person accompanying Mr. Zhao this time was not Mrs. Zhao.
Despite her surprise, the servant didn’t show it. She was just a servant, her job was to perform her duties properly.
Zhao Shen took Lin Fang to the master bedroom on the third floor, “If you don’t want to go home, you can stay here for the night. There are clothes in the closet, but they are all in Furong’s size. If you don’t mind, feel free to change into one.”
Lin Fang didn’t say a word, her eyes cast down.
She wanted to take a gamble.
Just as Zhao Shen was about to turn and leave, she suddenly stood up and hugged Zhao Shen, “Zhao Shen, I don’t want to stay here temporarily, I want to live here forever. Also, I want the wardrobe to be filled with our clothes.”
Zhao Shen stiffened, after a long pause, he gently unclenched Lin Fang’s hands, “I’m sorry, we can’t do this. I only love Furong.”
“It’s alright. I don’t mind who you love, as long as you know I love you,” Lin Fang said, “As long as you’re willing to be with me, I don’t mind being nameless.”
Lin Fang’s love was humble.
She knew that she would only earn Zhao Shen’s sympathy and pity by showing her humility.
She was not Shangguan Furong, who was messing around with Zhao Shen’s feelings just because he liked her.
“No.” Zhao Shen coldly pushed Lin Fang away, “What we are doing is wrong.”
Lin Fang looked at Zhao Shen and asked, “Are you afraid of Shangguan Furong?”
Her words were like a catalyst, instantly igniting Zhao Shen’s desire for revenge.
Why should he fear Shangguan Furong?
Lin Fang walked over, “We are both pitiful people, why don’t we rely on each other for warmth?”
This time, Zhao Shen didn’t reject Lin Fang, but instead embraced her.
Somewhere along the line, someone turned off the light in the bedroom, leaving everything enveloped in darkness.
In Beijing, it was customary for a bride-to-be to spend three nights at her groom’s home after the engagement. She could only return home after three days.
Ni Yang didn’t want to remain as the third wheel. Moreover, she had workers to supervise at home, hence, she didn’t stay.
Shangguan Dehui arranged for transportation to send the other villagers back.
Ni Yang, however, rode in Mo Qishen’s car.
“Yangyang.” Mo Qishen, eyes focused on the road ahead, asked in a seemingly casual way.
“What’s up?” Ni Yang tilted her head slightly.
“Are you brave?” Mo Qishen asked back.
Ni Yang nodded, “Quite.”
After all, what was there to be afraid of for someone who had experienced death before?
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mo Qishen’s eyes as he continued, “Yangyang, are you afraid of ghosts?”
“No.” Ni Yang shook her head.
“Why do other girls fear ghosts, but you don’t?” questioned Mo Qishen.
Ni Yang laughed, “Brother Mo, if you have something to say, just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush.”
Mo Qishen cleared his throat, and said simply, “Well, I’m saying, if you’re afraid of being at home alone, I can stay with you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Qishen added, “Yangyang, don’t misunderstand, I’m just worried you might be scared!”
Ni Yang squinted her eyes, “Are you harbouring ulterior motives?”
“I’m not! I’m not! Yangyang, don’t slander me!” Mo Qishen’s ears turned red.
“Tsk tsk tsk,” Ni Yang reached out to pinch his ear, “Look at you, pretending to be a gentleman.”
“Boss, I was wrong! Please forgive me!”
“Focus on driving, don’t think about unnecessary things.” Ni Yang sat up straight, turned on the car stereo, and a light song immediately filled the air.
“The tips of the peach leaves are sharp, the willow leaves cover the sky, listen to my words oh Emperor Ming…..”
This song, “Exploring the Clearwater River,” was a narrative song popular in Beijing.
Ni Yang remembered that in her previous life, a handsome young man turned this narrative song into a pop hit.
