[TCFO] Arc 2 — Chapter 71

Kick off the Campus’ Cinderella (31)

Seeing Zhou Min’s sudden acceleration, Liu Haoyu followed without slowing down. But a weird and determined smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, making his whole person look like a monster, “Jiang Min, when the game starts, you can’t leave early. This is my rule...”

But Zhou Min, who walked ahead in panic, did not hear this, and the old butler who had just followed up shivered inexplicably.

He looked at the ghostly smile of Liu Haoyu Ghost and the ignorant Zhou Min in front of him. He silently lit a candle* for Zhou Min in his heart and wished her good luck.

*lighting incense to pray for good fortune

Liu Haoyu smiled like this only when he met something or people he was interested in. The last time he personally made his brother’s skin and bones into art, and after a few years, he saw such a smile again. That smile of his, he did not know – what did it mean?

Zhou Min, who was walking in front, shivered inexplicably. Why was it so cold suddenly in the end months of this Summer, when it was at the height of its scorching heat!

Looking at the scene of Zhou Min and Liu Haoyu, she couldn’t help but cover her eyes. It must have been hard for this host of hers to live to this age in her original world…

The more it looked at the silly creature who didn't know the beast was approaching and was about to devour his prey, the more it thought that...

It was not without reason that this dreamy manor had caused such a sensation in the previous world and has attracted all artists.

The shrubs around the garden were built in various strange shapes and forms, scattered all around, not to feel superfluous, but to be more of a surprise!

Zhou Min was curious to know what the villa looked like. Rumour had it that no one had ever entered the estate and that those who had entered ended up volunteering their loyalty to the mysterious owner of the manor house, willing to keep the secrets of the villa for him...

So, foreign journalists called the dreamy manor the Land of Seduction because everyone wanted to enter, and those who entered did not want to come out...

She thought that the place he lived in should also have a very old-fashioned feel to it.

Like a royal palace? It had a very luxurious and prestigious atmosphere.

But to her surprise, there was no sense of extreme luxury, no preference for Chinese antiquity, nor was there the splendour of a European-Chinese palace. But instead, the warmth of an American suburban house, with open spaces and few partitions to extend the horizon. However, Zhou Min looked at the man who came in after her,......

This man was wrapped up in himself, not willing to quickly reveal his true feelings, and the mask on his face was too thick to be measured. It showed how heavily guarded he was! But the layout was contrarily uncharacteristic of him!

She didn't know who designed it, but she was afraid he'd been kicked out of the design world by Liu Haoyu!

It was a pity......

The first time this manor was exposed in her previous life, it would have been ten years later when Su Xiaoxiao had already married Liu Haoyu and had been sent out of the country by Liu Haoyu.

It was then that this manor had been exposed.

"What's on your mind?"

"I think that there's no place in this villa that echoes the old-fashioned natural landscape outside!" Zhou Min said.

"You come with me....," said Liu Haoyu, smiling softly, letting go of Zhou Min's waist and naturally taking her hand. He led her upstairs. It was the study of a royal minister or a nobleman.

The elegance of a gentleman, the casualness of a celebrity, the reserve of a nobleman, the wit of a good strategist, whatever it was, made Zhou Min feel that Liu Haoyu was a man who could not be read, as cunning as a fox...

"This place, except you, no one has ever come in ......" Liu Haoyu brought Zhou Min in and stood by the window, indicating that she should look out from here. Zhou Min looked suspiciously at Liu Haoyu's eyes, indicating her to glance out. She did so half-heartedly but was instantly stunned, "That, that is the entrance of the manor house halfway up the hill where we came in, how come?"
