[TCFO] Arc 2 — Chapter 70

Kick off the Campus’ Cinderella (30)

“What? What do you mean, this? It turns out that there is no name….”

Zhou Min’s words surprised Liu Haoyu. He was still patient. “No, but...”

Liu Haoyu looked at Zhou Min in surprise and recalled the name blurted out of Zhou Min’s mouth. The more he thought about it; he felt like he liked it. He couldn’t help but look at the butler who appeared next to him. “But there will be a name in the future... From now on, this place will be called NeverLand!”

“Yes, Master!” the old man said respectfully, but Zhou Min was speechless; it was not right! This, this name, the development of this thing was wrong!

Why did it feel so arbitrary...

And, how come it appeared as if she were the one to name it! Although she knew about this manor from the scrambled reports of foreign press, this was not how it was supposed to go!

No, this, why is this Liu Haoyu’s villa?! In her previous life, or at least in Jiang Min’s memory, she knew a few of Liu Haoyu’s real estate. The reporter had dug up the things she didn’t know, but there was absolutely no such place.

Could it be that this was because Liu Haoyu deliberately let people find out, so he was found out? He didn’t want to be discovered just like this manor. Until the end of her death, reporters at home and abroad didn’t know who the owner was. There was a lot of speculation about who the mysterious owner of this enormous manor was, but no progress was made.

“Liu Haoyu, this, you...” Zhou Min pointed to the manor and looked at Liu Haoyu repeatedly. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say, but Liu Haoyu seemed to know Zhou Min’s thoughts and rubbed her head.

He spoke over her, “This is my real residence. The ones I gave to reporters before are just a few insignificant places!”

“Insignificant!!!” Zhou Min almost jumped up.

Those ‘insignificant’ places – if she replaced it with paper bills, she could drown in wealth. Yet, he just casually mentioned them in one brief passer-by sentence...

Zhou Min’s response made Liu Haoyu curious, and he couldn’t help but turn to face her, “To a family like ours, without a few smoke bombs, it would have been wiped out!”

“Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit?”*

* a crafty rabbit has three burrows / a sly individual has more than one plan to fall back on (idiom)

Zhou Min immediately said the same thing!

“It’s: a wise man is good at making strategic plans,” Liu Haoyu corrected her wording.

“Hmph, it’s obvious that you’re cunning and good at plotting, so cheeky!” Zhou Min muttered.

But Liu Haoyu heard it and gave a soft chuckle, “I will take this as a compliment!”

“You, you heard...” Zhou Min turned around in surprise. Her eyes widened!

“Heard? Hm? The wind is strong. Did you say something just now?” The look on Liu Haoyu’s face was not at all sincere. The leaves didn’t even move; how could there be wind?

Asshole!

Seeing Zhou Min’s face flushed with anger, Liu Hao Yu felt an inexplicable sense of pride, which made him happier, more joyful and satisfied than signing a multi-billion dollar deal!

“Okay, let’s go in first. Glare at me... when we get in.” The tone of voice of Liu Haoyu coaxing a child made Zhou Min helpless. How could his personality switch just like that ......

And the butler who had been standing next to Liu Haoyu was even more surprised watching the interaction between Liu Haoyu and Zhou Min. His eyes were about to pop out from staring. Was this the young master of their family who did not recognise his own mother, who was ruthless and heartless? This tone of voice, attitude, cautiousness, look of tenderness, and smile on his lips revealed a sense of satisfaction every second of every day!

The Liu family was going to have a future! If the old man, who was worried that the Liu family would be extinct, knew about this, he would be so excited that he would worship the gods...

The old butler’s dumbfounded expression remained until Liu Haoyu, who was walking in front of him, suddenly looked at him in a warning. The seriousness in his eyes made the old butler’s face scrunch in nervousness.

-Master, it was not that I am not dedicated to his job. It’s that I don’t dare to be dedicated to my job! Without the young master’s approval, I’m afraid I would be skinned and boned by the young master!

Seeing that the old butler was honest, Liu Haoyu hugged Zhou Min nonchalantly and walked into the manor. There was quietness and elegance in the daytime and mystery and unfamiliarity at night in this manor. That was why all kinds of artists were crazy about it.

-Three steps of refinement, five steps of grandeur, step by step changes, perfection everywhere, how much money it must have cost!

If Liu Haoyu knew that the manor he designed by himself was like this in Zhou Min’s eyes, he might want to strangle her!

But Zhou Min looked at this manor and thought about another thing. After Su Xiaoxiao married Liu Haoyu in his previous life, he didn’t seem to live here, but a villa on Qingyuan Mountain and eventually in the Liu family’s stately castle abroad.

Zhou Min followed Liu Haoyu, and Liu Haoyu’s low-pitched introduction from time to time came in her ear, but this did not affect Zhou Min’s weird and complicated look at his sharp jaw and side profile.

“What’s wrong?” Liu Haoyu asked.

“It’s nothing, just suddenly want to know, Liu Haoyu, what kind of person are you?” Zhou Min stopped and looked at his eyes seriously as if he wanted to get out of those dark eyes. Look into his deep-hidden heart.

“Do you want to know?” Liu Haoyu gave a faint smile and asked, “You know, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Everything has a price to pay! Do you want to know?”

“Then forget it! I just asked casually. I don’t care...” Zhou Min immediately rejected it. At that moment, she felt Liu Haoyu’s mood suddenly become strange. It seemed that as long as she nodded her head, she would be drawn into an endless abyss. It was too terrifying!
