When Feng Lin heard that the scoundrel still planned to send flowers openly, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes ablaze with fury.
"Where is he?"
Xiaoshuang was instantly startled. "He... he didn't come..."
"Do you still remember what that shameless... man looks like?"
"Um..." Xiaoshuang tried hard to recall but found she couldn't remember the man's specific appearance at all.
"He probably has an ordinary face. I can't quite remember clearly."
What a hideous guy with such low looks. He really had the nerve to confess his love to Xiaoyu!
Calm down. That guy didn't stand a chance against him...
Feng Lin took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress his surging emotions. "Okay, go back to work."
When Su Xianyu came out after changing her clothes, she saw him standing by the window, his profile tense.
She walked over and gently wrapped her arms around her lover's waist from behind. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the company?"
Feng Lin turned around and pulled her into his arms. "It's nothing, just a minor issue."
He paused for a moment, his voice low. "If there are any strange men asking around in the store in the future, just ignore them."
Su Xianyu found it a bit strange but still nodded. "Got it. Is our baby jealous?"
Feng Lin didn't say a word but just hugged her even tighter.
When they closed the store in the evening, Feng Lin insisted on locking the door himself.
Su Xianyu sat in the passenger seat, watching him check the surveillance cameras around the store repeatedly. She still felt something was off.
"What on earth is wrong with you today? You've been acting strange since this morning."
Feng Lin opened the car door and got in. He said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. We still need to pay more attention to safety."
Recently, the flower shop had received many big orders. Since Su Xianyu didn't want to rely on Feng Lin for everything, she had been extremely busy.
After getting home, she was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
Feng Lin sat by the bed. After quietly admiring his wife's sleeping face for a while, he got up quietly.
The drawer of the dressing table was slowly pulled open with a soft click.
He immediately stopped, holding his breath like a thief. He waited for a few seconds.
The person on the bed was still breathing steadily. Her eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids. She hadn't been disturbed.
His fingers continued to grope in the drawer for a while, and finally he found the cold facial mask.
It was the hydrating one that Xiaoyu had said worked well last time. He had specifically dug it out and hidden it in a corner yesterday.
The moment the mask touched his face, the coldness made him shiver.
Feng Lin stiffened his neck, uncomfortably feeling the sticky liquid on his face.
Fifteen minutes passed. He held his breath and removed the mask, his movements as precise as when he was removing sutures during surgery.
Feng Lin pressed his face with his fingertips. He always felt that his skin wasn't tight enough anywhere.
There was still a bottle of Xiaoyu's eye cream in the drawer. After hesitating for a while, he didn't dare to touch it.
There wasn't much left in the bottle. If it was missing, she would definitely notice.
Forget it. The preparation this time wasn't sufficient, and the effect didn't seem very good. He would ask Assistant Zhang to send some more tomorrow.
The phone screen lit up. It was a webpage that he hadn't closed before - "The Golden Period of Anti-aging for Men", "The Irreversible Damage of Staying Up Late to the Skin"...
Feng Lin glanced at it and quickly turned off the screen. Then he lay back on the bed.
But just when things had calmed down for a day, when Su Xianyu went to the bathroom to wash up, the phone screen lit up again in front of Feng Lin.
[I didn't see you today. Did he keep a closer eye on you? Don't be afraid. I'll wait for you.]
After he read the message, it disappeared instantly.
Feng Lin endured and endured, but still walked to the study and turned on the computer to connect to Su Xianyu's phone cloud.
The chat history was blank. There were only the numbers of their home and the flower shop in the call log. There wasn't even a suspicious male avatar in the WeChat friend list.
He rummaged through Xiaoyu's photo album, memo, and even shopping records, but there was nothing abnormal.
The person who sent the message was like a ghost. He appeared out of thin air and then disappeared without a trace, but he had disrupted Feng Lin's peace.
In the next three days, although Feng Lin didn't restrict Xiaoyu's movements, he almost never left her side.
When she went to the flower shop, Feng Lin would handle his work beside her. Even when she went to the bathroom, he would stand outside waiting.
Xiaoshuang noticed something was wrong and privately asked Su Xianyu, "Boss, what's wrong with him?"
Su Xianyu could only smile bitterly.
She could feel Feng Lin's anxiety, but without the subtitles, she didn't know the exact root cause.
She would never have guessed that during this period, a "virtual person" had been constantly confessing his love to her in front of Feng Lin, while she, the person being confessed to, knew nothing about it.
On the fourth night, Feng Lin had a nightmare.
In the dream was Ruan Sisi's distorted face. She was wearing a white dress stained with blood and was tightly holding onto his clothes.
"Feng Lin, there was no such person as Su Xianyu in the original world! She's an outsider. She won't live long!"
He struggled to push her away but found he couldn't move at all.
"Do you think she loves you? She's just using you! Once she achieves her goal, she'll discard you like trash!"
"No one will ever love you. You're destined to die alone!"
"Shut up!" Feng Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His pajamas were soaked with cold sweat.
The pale moonlight outside the window shone on the floor. Su Xianyu was sleeping soundly beside him.
No, it's impossible!
Xiaoyu was his. She had been his since the moment they met.
Everything that had happened recently was strange. Feng Lin felt uneasy and quickly made a decision.
He gently woke Xiaoyu up. "Let's move to a different place."
Su Xianyu rubbed her eyes and sat up. "So suddenly?"
"It's safer there." Feng Lin didn't explain too much and started contacting people.
Just as the sky was turning pale outside the window, he called his assistant. "Clear out the large manor in Country K. I'm going to take Xiaoyu there to live for a while."
Feng Lin arranged everything that followed.
A few hours later, Su Xianyu groggily got off the plane with him. Looking at the strange foreign scenery outside the car window, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"
Feng Lin's eyes dodged a bit. "You'll know when we get there."
When the carved iron gate of the manor slowly closed behind them, Su Xianyu finally understood what he meant by "getting there".
On the 2,000 - mu piece of land, the main building stood like a palace in the center. The sculptures beside the fountain pool were lifelike.
In the distance, there was a faint neighing sound from the horse farm. The greenhouse was cultivating rare plants from all over the world.
Further ahead, there was even an artificially - dug lake. The water surface sparkled under the sunlight.
The servants in uniform were standing in the distance. Even the air was filled with a faint fragrance. It was so luxurious that it seemed like another world.
"From today on, you'll live here."
Feng Lin didn't dare to turn around to look at Xiaoyu's expression. He just tightly held her hand and pulled her forward.
After leading her into the master bedroom, the huge floor - to - ceiling window faced the entire rose garden. "Without my permission, don't step out of the manor."
"......It's so great～"
