Chapter 491: Chapter 488
A comfortable rocking chair had been placed.
Every detail had been designed to reach the bottom of her heart.
She imagined spending the afternoons with a book on the rocking chair in the small attic, flipping through the pages as the sunshine poured down. When feeling sleepy or tired, she would doze off right there on the rocking chair.
Life was leisurely yet stretched out, which for someone accustomed to a fast-paced lifestyle like hers, this kind of life was nothing but a luxury dreamed of in sleep.
Yet now, it had all become a reality.
It was Lu Xiao who had pulled her out of that life, letting her discover that the world was filled with so much more beauty, even in the sunshine, the raindrops, and every blade of grass in the vast world.
Lu Xiao stood behind her, his low voice adding a seductive charm.
Wen Xian, still wearing his loose clothes, turned around and collapsed onto the tatami.
The mattress was soft and of high quality. She turned over and over on it and finally took a deep breath and said, “I really wish I could live here forever.”
The bustling city and the busy work had truly exhausted her.
Flying between several cities in one day for engagements wasn’t unheard of, but she had been so busy chasing after those things that she overlooked the beauty that came with slowing down.
Lu Xiao, seeing her , slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
For a moment, it seemed as if all the days spent sleeping outside and getting up at the crack of dawn to design the cabin had been worth it.
For her, anything he did was worth it.
However, he said, “This place is only suitable for vacations and rest. Humans are social animals after all, and you’ll have to go back eventually. Whenever you feel tired, you can come back again.”
That was the reality, especially considering her personality. The life she wanted would not be monotonous, and he wouldn’t let her life revolve solely around him.
That would only be bad for her.
Wen Xian just smiled and didn’t speak. She got up, pulled him down to lie beside her, and just like that, leaned into his embrace, enjoying the peace of the moment.
Everything was too wonderful, so wonderful that she almost forgot an important matter.
So, when the thought suddenly flashed through her mind, her little body stiffened.
Lu Xiao asked, looking down at her.
Wen Xian thought of the USB drive and those two men who had disguised themselves as electricians.
She pondered how best to tell Lu Xiao and finally said, “Dear, do you still have the USB I gave you before?”
“Yes, what about it?”
He hadn’t had the chance to look closely at the USB drive yet.
Wen Xian was inwardly struggling, but in the end, she said:
“Did I ever tell you that before I got on the plane from Qinghai to Beijing, the person sitting next to me was none other than Li Tingze…”
Upon hearing his name, Lu Xiao’s brows furrowed.
“And after I got off the plane, I found that USB drive in my bag. I didn’t think much of it at the time and thought it was from Sister Ling.
But you know what happened next, it wasn’t anybody’s. So, I’m wondering, could it be Li Tingze’s USB drive? Could it contain some of his secrets?”
Truth be told, after her remarks, his heart did skip a beat.
Because indeed, it was possible.
Especially after knowing that repairmen had come to her house.
According to his people, they had found repairmen whose movements were suspicious. When she wasn’t home, they seemed to be searching for something in her place.
Nine times out of ten, those were men arranged by Li Tingze.
When Lu Xiao spoke again—
