Chapter 64: Chapter 51: Stunning_2 Chapter 64: Chapter 51: Stunning_2 “Okay, thank you.”
Although she hadn’t known Fu Siyu for long, Shu Wan had a very good impression of him.
Whether it was his intelligence or his considerate gentlemanly demeanor, both made Shu Wan feel very comfortable.
She liked the relaxed feeling that came with interacting with smart people.
It was a kind of joyful recognition of like-mindedness, this kind, regardless of time or dynasty, seemed like a predestined entanglement.
As if they were destined to meet.
“You’re welcome,” Fu Siyu nodded slightly, “You helped take care of Fu Yang back home, and after you went abroad, it’s only right that I take care of you a bit more.”
Shu Wan didn’t say anything more about being polite; she smiled at Fu Siyu and then took out her “Primary School First Grade Math textbook” from her bag.
Fu Siyu’s gaze paused on the textbook for a moment, he didn’t ask any questions or express doubts, instead, he picked up a document and started reading.
The car fell into a silence.
The driver occasionally glanced through the rearview mirror; it was quiet inside, with only the sound of pages turning, as many times before.
The car’s light fell on Fu Siyu’s shoulder for the first time, casting his intermittently visible eyes, adding a hint of warmth.
As the car drove, it gradually began to rain outside, softly patterning the car window with sprays of water droplets.
By the time they reached their destination, only a hazy view could be seen through the car window.
The driver opened the car door and held up an umbrella for Fu Siyu.
But he quickly realized his severe mistake because he had brought only one umbrella.
Fu or Young Madam was a tough decision for the driver.
However, Fu Siyu didn’t give him much time to decide as he took the umbrella from the driver’s hand, leaned slightly, and held the umbrella over Shu Wan’s head.
Shu Wan walked out of the car, a gust of wind blew, and she subconsciously shivered.
This body seemed to be particularly sensitive to the cold.
“It won’t be cold inside,” Fu Siyu’s voice arose beside her ear, “let’s go inside.”
“Okay.” Shu Wan followed Fu Siyu inside, leaving the driver in the rain, staring dumbfounded at Fu Siyu holding the umbrella for Shu Wan, almost as if he had seen a monster.
As Shu Wan and Fu Siyu walked into the ancient castle’s grand gate, the driver planned to drive to the parking lot.
Just then, the housekeeper led several servants out from both sides of the gate, each holding an umbrella.
Only then did they open the umbrellas.
The driver puzzled for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
Good gracious, no wonder he was only a driver; others had already been promoted to housekeeper.
He still had much to learn and understand!
Inside the castle at this moment, Shu Wan and Fu Siyu walked side by side.
Although it was a bit cold, Shu Wan slowed her pace, slowly admiring the castle’s scenery, “Is this a hotel?”
Looking at the towering marble pillars, the elegant fountain, and the garden filled with royal grace, Shu Wan really couldn’t associate it with a hotel.
“Yes, this is a hotel open to the public by the Bruce royal family, it was formerly a resting place for the royal family,” Fu Siyu patiently explained.
“I see.” Shu Wan nodded and continued to look intently.
The architectural style of Bruce greatly differed from that of Hua Country; ancient architecture in Hua Country mostly used wooden materials, while here they mostly used various types of marble and granite.
The design of the buildings was also drastically different from those in Hua Country.
Shu Wan was so captivated that she didn’t notice the steps for a moment.
It was slippery due to the rain, and before she could stabilize herself, she fell sideways.
Luckily, Fu Siyu quickly reached out to help her, and she didn’t fall to the ground.
The arm that crossed her waist seemed to have the strength to lift everything up, and what lingered around her nose was the same sandalwood scent that was impregnated on his coat.
Shu Wan slightly raised her head and met a pair of eyes as deep as quiet pools; she could see her own reflection in them.
Fu Siyu was always very focused, no matter what, which made it feel like he only had eyes for Shu Wan at that moment.
Shu Wan subconsciously shifted her gaze and let go of the arm Fu Siyu extended, stepping back, “Sorry.”
“No harm done,” a faint glint crossed Fu Siyu’s eyes as he retracted his hand from behind Shu Wan’s back, “We’ve reached the main hall, let’s go in.”
The main hall was a completely different world from the outside.
Since Fu Siyu had notified in advance, before their return, the servants had already adjusted the indoor temperature to 26 degrees.
