Chapter 3

The man stood quietly outside the elevator, his lavender peach blossom eyes slightly raised.

The girl's clothes were simple and plain, but she stood there quietly, giving the impression that she was a well-educated lady.

A waterfall of black hair was scattered, casually draped behind her.

Exquisite face, no makeup, cold temperament, pure and beautiful like the small flowers blooming on the top of the snow mountain.

There seemed to be a magical power on his body that attracted his attention.

The two didn't move for a long time, and the elevator door automatically closed to cut off their sight of each other.

The figure of the man disappeared in front of his eyes, and Si Lan came back to his senses, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to press the open button.

And the man standing outside the elevator also did the same thing as her.

The elevator door opened again, and their eyes met.

Si Lan said first, "Sorry."

The voice and her demeanor came out and passed into the man's ears, it was so pleasant to hear.

"No problem."

There was a softness in the man's gentle voice that he didn't realize.

The two looked at each other, and then went in and out.

Si Lan took a step, turned around, and the man was also looking in her direction.

The cold gaze met the deep peach eyes, and her heart missed half a beat.

……

Sitting back in the car, Si Lan recalled the scene just now, feeling quite shocked in his heart.

She would look at a strange man in a daze, what a ghost!

But I don't know if it was her illusion, that person gave her a feeling of deja vu.

From between his brows, she faintly saw a sense of familiarity.

But such a top-quality man with such an outstanding appearance, if he had seen it, he should not have no impression at all.

Thinking of a little guy still waiting for her to go back, she immediately threw away those messy thoughts in her mind.
-
The red sports car drove into Chengyuan and stopped at the door of Building 7.

A middle-aged woman stood at the gate. She was dressed in a servant's attire, but she had an extraordinary demeanor.

This person's name is Wu Ying, the housekeeper of the manor, and Si Lan calls her Mama Wu.

"Miss is back."

Si Lan nodded lightly: "Yes."

"How is the old man?" Mama Wu asked kindly and gently.

Si Lan: "It's okay."

Wu Ma: "Miss came back later than usual today, but what happened?"

Si Lan didn't really like people prying into her affairs, but this person was given to her by her master, she was a little more patient, and replied, "I met the Si family."

"Miss, you haven't been bullied by them, have you?" Hearing this, Wu Ma's expression immediately became tense.

When we first met five years ago, the young lady was covered in blood. At that time, she was so fragile that it seemed that if she exerted a little force, she would die, which made people feel distressed.

He was seriously injured, and he was still pregnant with a seven-month-old child. It took a lot of effort for my husband to save him.

And she was in a coma for a year after that before waking up.

When she said that she wanted to come back, her husband would not allow her, fearing that returning to this city would bring back her sad memories.

But the lady seemed to be very persistent, and the husband couldn't bear to confine her, so he finally compromised.

Every time I went back to City C to go to the hospital, the time was staggered. I didn't expect to run into each other so soon.

Seeing her worried expression, Si Lan softened his attitude a bit, shook his head and said, "It's fine."

"It's fine."

Wu Ma looked at her from top to bottom several times, and made sure that there were no injuries on her body, so she was really relieved:

"Lunch is ready, Miss, wash your hands and go eat."

"it is good."

Si Lan returned to the room, took out his mobile phone and made a video call.

As soon as the bell rang, it was picked up.

A delicate little face appeared in the video, wearing the pajamas she bought earlier.

The little guy was lying softly on the bed, covered with a quilt, and looked drowsy. He looked extremely sleepy, and he seemed to have something to worry about so he couldn't fall asleep.

Si Lan looked at him tenderly, and raised his hand to touch his little furry head through the screen.

"Princess, are you home yet?"

The little guy seemed to have just reacted, his immature and soft voice was full of concern and deep sleepiness.

He strained his eyelids to look at the environment on the other side of the video, and felt at ease seeing that it was something he was familiar with.

Si Lan smiled and said, "It's already at home, baby, go to sleep."

"Uh-huh……"

The little guy hummed a few times, his voice became lower and lower, and soon there was only the sound of clear and steady breathing.

With a gentle smile on the corner of Si Lan's lips, he stared at the sleeping face on the screen for a long time, until Mama Wu came up to urge her to eat before hanging up the phone.

After lunch, she slept for a while, and then sat on the hanging chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a book and read it.

When reading, she is always very focused.

Seeing that the tea in her cup was empty, Mama Wu made a new cup and put it aside very gently.

In the summer afternoon, the sun outside the house was still a little bit dry, but after being filtered by the floor-to-ceiling windows, the light shining on the girl was much softer.

She was wearing light blue home clothes, with black hair draped casually behind her, sitting on a hanging chair with her back straight, her feet not touching the ground crossed, her book on her lap, and her head slightly lowered.

The air-conditioning is turned on in the room, and bathing in this warm light will not make people feel hot.

Wu Ma watched this scene from a distance, and felt a sense of tranquility in the past.

……

Si Lan sat like this for an entire afternoon.

She looked up and saw that the outside had darkened unknowingly, thinking that it was already very late.

Looking at the time, it was only 06:30, which was in the evening.

But the sky was no longer illuminated by the usual sunset glow, and it was shrouded in gray, as if heavy rain was coming.

Si Lan returned to the room with the book, when she received a call from Mama Wu.

"Miss, I had an accident here, so I should be home later. If you're hungry, you can eat something else first."

She didn't move much in the afternoon, and Si Lan doesn't feel hungry right now, so she said flatly, "Don't worry, safety is the most important thing."

Hanging up the phone, thinking that the little guy had been refusing to sleep waiting for her to come home, she dialed a number.

"Hey?"

The deep and magnetic voice came from the phone, it was her master - Wen Yan.

A handsome uncle with a gentle temperament.

Si Lan: "Master, it's me."

"Yeah." Wen Yan responded, and then asked, "But something?"

"Is Xiaobao still sleeping?" Si Lan asked.

"Yes, this weekend, I don't have to go to school, and the little guy slept late last night, so I didn't call him, and let him sleep." Wen Yan paused for a moment, and realized belatedly, "How do you know? Should he still be sleeping right now?"

The little guy doesn't stay in bed on weekdays, even on weekends, he still adheres to the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

According to common sense, he should be reading a book or drawing a picture at the moment.

Hearing the words on the other end of the phone, Si Lan was surprised for a moment: "Didn't you tell him that I'm going to see grandpa this morning?"

"No." Wen Yan replied decisively, "I'm fine, why would I tell a child this?"
