41 『I See』 (1/2)
Fu Wenqian nearly cried out in relief at the sight of the Wu Family's manor. It took him a very painful and torturous hour of driving to this location under the helpful guidance of little 086.
A very chilly and terrifying hour of his entire life; an hour of having to withstand the oppressive and tyrannical pressure exuded by the two people seated at the back of the car.
He really hopes that whatever happened with this couple, they quickly resolved this issue ah!
They stopped in front of the closed gate. Wu Fei's window slowly rolls down without the little girl having to vocalized it.
Once the window fully opens, Wu Fei poked her head out of the window. Turning to look at where the CCTV camera is placed in, she sees the camera focusing on her.
Wu Fei smiles brightly at the camera. Then, she gave it a very cheerful wave as she called out,
”Uncle!”
In response to her cheerful and happy greeting, the tightly black iron gate slowly opens for the car to drive through it.
They slowly enters into the Wu family's estate.
As expected of the Wu family, although it was smaller and less grander than the Xi family's estate, this would still be considered quite grand and majestic in the eyes of the common people.
The black sleek car slowly pulls into a stop at the front of the large manor.
If he only looks at the building itself and not at the large and aesthetically pleasing landscape, Fu Wenqian would have assumed that his is owned by a well-off middle class family instead of a very old well-known family.
The only grand and very glamorous aspect of the buildings that he sees are their very spacious size. And, most of all, the wonderful and artistic landscape of their surroundings.
The exterior design of the manor, however, is quite low-key.
The door of the front entrance of the manor suddenly bursts open with a loud bang, startling the people inside the car away from their own thoughts.
Hearing the loud and ear shattering bang of the double oak door, Wu Fei jerks back from the sudden scare.
Her eyes widens in surprise when she noticed a small petite figure of a female rushing down the flight of stairs like a devil was chasing after her.
And, as that figure drew closer towards's Wu Fei.... She immediately recognized the appearance of the one who went out of her way to personally welcomeher home
”Young Miss! You're back!”
Xiao Yue cries out in relief.Not noticing how rude her actions were and how a certain young master's expression suddenly turned frosty.
”Everyone was so worried when you didn't came home after an hour after the young masters arrived! You really should have sent a message or even call! Everyone is really anxious to the point where the Madame is ready to call for the help of her family ah!”
Xiao Yue would have continued to complain and scold her family's heartless andconscienceless young miss if it wasn't for that very familiar and bone chilling glare directed at her.
Taking a look at the person who released such malicious aura and pressure aimed at her, her sight fell on the figure of the man sitting beside her young miss.
Xiao Yue nearly faints from shock and fear at the sight of a very very familiar face.
Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
Oh shit!
It's this childhood friend of her young miss and subsequently, also her childhood friend but how can she dare to consider said devil of a man as such?!
This man who hated to be ignored by her young miss!
The great devil known as Xi Baixue! The cause of her sleepless nights due to his terrifying stares and glares.
”Y...Young Miss,” She stutters, feeling her knees going weak at the sight of her unacknowledged nightmare.
She swallowed back the questions of just why wasn't she informed that this great devil is back from wherever he came out from, and instead she decided to play the role of an actual maid for the first time.
”And her guests, please excuse my deplorable manners.” She bows deeply and respectfully at them before she straightens her body.
Her training as a maid kick in as she formally and politely ushers the three inside the manor. The cheerful and animated personality of hers is no longer in sight.
Xiao Yue didn't forget to pluck a certain cutie from the clutches of a man she finds to be somewhat familiar.
”Uh, this...” Fu Wenqian, upon reflexively following this maid's instructions due to how familiar it was with his own family's maids, finally gathered his bearing and tried to interject to the maid's polite words.
He smiles wryly at the small female. ”Miss, I really hsoudl take my lea-”
”Please do come in!”
Xiao Yue smiles politely, while her voice didn't is not louder than Fu Wenqian, thevery polite but somehow threatening tone on her voice made the stuttering man closed his mouth shut.
What a scary woman! Three people and one system thought simultaneously.
”The Masters and Madames are all anxiously waiting for your arrival in the living room, Young Miss. Madame Xi is also waiting for Young Master Xi there!”
She continues to speak as Wu Fei heads to the direction of the living room, she made sure to be the last one to follow her young miss. After all, if this little girl suddenly ran away... it would be very easy for her to give chase ah!
Upon hearing Xiao Yue's words, the two childhood friend's calm expressions finally showed a crack.
They both simultaneously made a face at the thought of calming down a group of anxious elders. They stare at the other.
The first one to break eye contact was a very resigned young man who does not have the heart to say no to the girl beside him.
He.... really could never say no to Wu Fei ah. All he can ever do, toward the woman he loves, is to indulge her and let her do as she pleases.
Unless it's something dangerous and hazardous towards her health... He really doesn't have the ability to say to towards her.
Even if she would get into trouble due to his indulgence towards her... He would always be there to protect her!
Just as he, Xi Baixue, had promised her once upon a time!
Wu Fei suddey and sharply turns to the corner of the wall, and instead of bumping into it and rebounding, she disappeared.
Like a little duckling following right after its mother, Xi Baixue follows right after her in a leisure pace. His expression nonchalant.
Seeing the two people turning into the corner of the building and then vanishing right in front if his eyes, Fu Wenwian's steps flattered. He turns to look at Xiao Yue, a question hanging from the tip of his tongue.
The twenty-three year old woman smiles brightly, like a slowly blooming flower, her visage brightens and became more lively.
”Please follow me,” She speaks instead of explaining how exactly the two couple vanished into thin air.
She followed after the couple's example, walking in front of the corner and then suddenly turning to her right.
The legendary manager frowns, perplexed at the suddenly confusing actions the three made before he followed after their demonstrations. Turning to the right and expecting to crash into the corner, He was met with the sight of the living room.
He suddenly felt tired.
__(: з) ∠)_
His life is really full of surprises ah!
With how much cautious and mischievous the interior designer and architect of this manor, he really couldn't help but marvel at the skills of the people who thought of using simple optical illusions and human psychology for giving the guests surprises like these.
This place's complexity... doesn't lose out on the Ximanor at all!
But between the two places, he very much preferred this confusing and complex manor rather than the other. After all, the other manor is full of life threatening traps, loud blaring alarms and drills that every men living there need to participate in.
”Oh? Little Wenqian also came along ah!”
Mother Xi couldn't help but smile, thrilled at the sight of her son's manager and also the sacrifice- ehem, male bestfriend of her darling son.
What sacrifice?
Fu Wenqian is one of the two bestfriends of her son, no matter how much the two of them denied it! Someone who could withstand that boy's temper and could also live to tell the tale whenever he angers her son.
The perfect sac- bestfriend!
”Aunt!”
Fu Wenqian smiles brightly at the sight of the mother of his bestfriend slash artist slash boss.
”Aiyo! Come and sit ah! Mingyue, this is the son of my husband's sworn brother! He is like a cousin towards Xiao Xue and also his bestfriend ah!” Mother Xi turns towards Mother Wu, a bright cheerful smile on her face.
Her very intimate and, most of all, informal actions surprises Fu Wenqian.
For all the years he had known her, she had always been quite polite and distant. Very composed and formal, the image perfect example of a lofty noble lady.
With such mesmerizing appearance and lofty attitude, it really didn't surprised him that cold blooded andblack bellied man Fu Wenqian had to call as Uncle had all but fell head over heels with her.
