This time, Xin Zimo did not force her or threaten her like he usually did, nor did he mock her. Instead, he looked at her affectionately. There was a tenderness in his eyes that had never been seen before, and the faint smile on his lips was also so quiet and gentle.
However, when Du Anran subconsciously wanted to get away from Xin Zimo, he jumped into the precipice that suddenly appeared.
"Xin zimo! " Du Anran cried out involuntarily.
She ran to the edge of the cliff, but all she could see was a vast expanse of whiteness. She could not see the end of it, and the echo echoed in the valley and the woods.
"Xin Zimo! Xin zimo! "
Du Anran shouted loudly, but no one responded to her... ...
"Xin Zimo! Xin zimo! " Du Anran was shocked by the dream and sat up from the bed in fear.
The Room was pitch-black, and there was no sound outside the room. The winter outside the villa was very quiet, so quiet that even the bugs had long gone into hibernation.
Du Anran was covered in cold sweat. She reached out to wipe her sweat, but she touched the cold tears on her face. She did not know when she cried.
She sat on the bed motionlessly. Her eyes were wide open, but she could not see anything in the dark room.
There was a great sense of loss in her heart that she had never felt before. This was the first time she had such a dream. She had never thought that one day, Xin zimo would leave her before she could leave Xin Zimo... ...
Was She happy Or something... ...
Du Anran's heart was still beating violently. She had forgotten that Xin Zimo was still teaching her a lesson that night. Her entire mind was filled with fragments of the dream.
Her heart was beating erratically, she was helpless, and there was something moist at the corner of her eyes.
Du Anran sat quietly without moving for a long time. She did not know how long, half an hour, or an hour... ...
The heater in the room was a little hot, and she was still sweating all over. She laughed at herself. If he really left her, shouldn't she be able to wake up from her dreams with a smile?
Her heart was in a mess, and she fumbled to turn on the wall lamp. Under the light yellow light, she saw the wall clock on the wall. It was already ten past two at night.
Suddenly Thirsty, she calmed herself down and decided to go downstairs to find water to drink.
With the help of the wall lamp, she opened the door and walked downstairs in a daze.
It was dark downstairs, a kind of empty darkness. There were only her and Xin Zimo in this huge villa. The housekeeper would be home on time at ten in the evening.
It was quiet all around, only the sound of her footsteps on the stairs could be heard.
She remembered that there should be milk in the kitchen. The housekeeper would go to the ranch to get fresh milk every day.
When she went downstairs and was about to go around the living room, she saw a person sitting on the sofa.
Du Anran was shocked and quickly took two steps back. With the help of the weak wall lamp upstairs, she saw that handsome but lonely face in the darkness.
It was Xin Zimo. He was still sitting on the SOFA, not moving at all.
He was still wearing his white shirt and tie. The heater was not turned on in the hall. It was very cold. Du Anran looked at him. His eyes were closed. She did not know if he was asleep.
Du Anran stood for a while and felt very cold. She did not know how Xin Zimo could sit here until midnight.
She could not look at many of his actions with the eyes of an ordinary person. If she looked at him like that, it would only make her more and more confused.
She first turned on the heater in the hall, then quietly walked to his front, took a thick blanket from the other Sofa, and gently put it on him.
When she tucked the corner of the blanket for him, a cold hand unexpectedly grabbed her left hand.
Du Anran was shocked again. It turned out that he was awake.
"I'm not cold. " He opened his eyes, and his deep voice was full of fatigue.
"It's three degrees below zero at night, how can it not be cold? " His hand was cold, and Du anran could not help but shiver.
"This kind of cold is nothing. " Xin Zimo's eyes were full of tiredness. His eyes no longer had the usual sharpness and spirit, but only a dull light.
"You... what's wrong... " Du Anran asked carefully ...
She did not know if she had provoked him tonight, or if she should not have mentioned old Mr. Xin.
"Nothing. " Xin Zimo let go of her hand.
Du Anran inexplicably thought of the dream just now, and her heart palpitated.
She was still worried about him. When she reached out to touch his forehead, she felt a little hot, so she quickly pulled his arm. "I'll send you back to your room. "
"I'm not sleeping, you go back. " His tone was still a little cold, as if it was his usual attitude, even when he was not feeling well.
"I'll accompany you. " Du Anran could not persuade him, so she simply sat beside him.
The hall gradually began to warm up, and it was not as cold as before.
Xin Zimo turned his head to look at her, and just looked at her sideways, which made du Anran's hair stand on end.
"Why are you looking at me, I have to sleep. " Du Anran lowered her head.
"YOU GO UP! " Xin Zimo almost ordered her.
"Why can you sit here and I can't? " Du Anran retorted and carried a blanket. "I'm going to sleep, whether you sleep or not is none of my business. "
She slowly lay down. Although it was only half a sofa, she adjusted her posture and slept comfortably.
"You'll catch a cold if YOU SLEEP HERE! " He yelled at her. "GO UP! "
"Don't disturb me, I'm so sleepy... " Du Anran yawned. She was indeed sleepy because she had been palpitating for a long time in that dream. She was exhausted now.
Xin zimo frowned. He lifted the blanket on his body and walked forward to carry du Anran along with the blanket.
"What are you doing! I WANT TO SLEEP BELOW! " Du Anran patted his chest.
She was kind enough to accompany him, but he treated her so rudely.
He kicked the door open and threw her on the bed, but he did not leave. Instead, he pressed down on her body. "there will be plenty of opportunities for you to sleep below in the future. "
Du Anran was stunned. It took her a while to react. Half of her face was red. She continued to pat his shoulder. "I'm going to sleep. Let me go! "
"I know. " Xin Zimo did not continue to pester her. He touched her face and stood up. He pulled the silk blanket on the bed and covered her.
Du Anran looked at his side profile under the dim yellow light. He was still sharp and handsome.
Just as he was about to turn off the wall lamp, Du Anran said, "Don't sit on the sofa either. "
"Okay. " He responded and turned off the wall lamp. The room instantly fell into darkness.
Du Anran did not need to close her eyes to see him. At this moment, the panic from the previous dream swept over her again. She was actually afraid that he would not come back. She was even worried about him... ...
"Xin zimo! " She called out to him, and the tall and slender figure in the darkness paused.
He did not move, and only asked indifferently, "what's the matter? "
Du Anran realized that she had lost her composure. She should not have been so worried and afraid of him, and she should not have cared about him. He was Xin Zimo, the CEO of the Xin Corporation, the main culprit behind the acquisition of Shihe and the death of her uncle.
"It's... It's nothing. " Du Anran shook her head and buried herself in the blanket ...
Xin Zimo did not pursue the matter. He just closed the door for her and left in silence.
The next day, when Du Anran woke up, she still did not see Xin Zimo. She did not know what he was busy with, but this was also good. If she followed the plane back to the country tomorrow, he might not be able to find her.
However, she knew that he had sent people to follow her. It was just that those people were in the dark and she was in the light. They could see her, but she could not see them.
This was a very troublesome problem. It was impossible to get to the airport smoothly.
However, after a moment, she had an idea and thought of a solution.
However, she sat in the garden of the villa and was not happy. She did not know why she had been listless since last night. She recalled everything that happened last night and felt as if she had experienced it herself.
Last night, she was completely immersed in something called "fear" . This feeling was unprecedented. Was She afraid of losing him?
Du Anran could not answer herself. She had never owned him, so how could she lose him.
Just as she sat in the garden and looked at the sky, the Butler brought Chi Xue in.
"Miss Du, are you basking alone here? " Chi Xue was dressed very beautifully. She was dressed in a standard English outfit and wore a beige lace hat on her head.
"It's not a bad thing to bask in the sun more in the winter. " Du Anran did not like Chi Xue, just as Chi Xue did not like her. However, they were both from prestigious families. No matter how much they disliked her, as long as they did not cross the line, they could still get along peacefully.
Therefore, the confused Butler smiled and said, "the two ladies are of similar age and both are so young and beautiful. There must be a lot to talk about. I'm going to go and cook. Mr. Xin will be back in a while. "
Du Anran was stunned. "He will be back for lunch? "
"Yes, when Mr. Xin left this morning, he said that he would be back at noon, " the Butler said.
"Oh... " Du Anran responded.
The Butler left the garden. Chi Xue no longer looked like a young lady. She walked up to Du Anran and stood in front of her. "It seems that he doesn't care about you. I know that he will be back for lunch, but you don't know. "
"Miss Chi knows a lot. " Du Anran ignored Chi Xue and took out a book from the shelf to read.
"Don't you think we need to talk? " Chi Xue sat directly opposite Du Anran.
"What do you want to talk about? Astronomy or geography? " Du Anran continued to read without raising her head.
Chi Xue was defeated and her face darkened. "Do you have coffee? Please pour me a cup of coffee, Miss Du. "
Du Anran looked up. She did not know if she did it on purpose. However, the housekeeper was in the kitchen. If she wanted to pour coffee for Chi Xue, she had to do it herself.
However, Du Anran never had a temper. It was just that her attitude towards Xin Zimo was always a little bad.
She smiled. "What coffee do you need? "
"freshly ground black coffee is fine, " Chi Xue said. "freshly ground black coffee, no sugar. I don't like impure coffee. "
"It's really hard for Miss Chi to drink it. " Du Anran did not like drinking black coffee without sugar. That kind of bitterness was really unforgettable.
Du Anran put down the book and walked into the kitchen. Chi Xue saw that she had disappeared from her sight, so she took out her phone from her bag.
She saw that Du Anran's phone was still on the table, so she quickly pressed a few keys and picked up du Anran's phone to fiddle with it a few times.
As she operated the phone, she even mocked Du Anran for being a fool. The unlock code of the phone was actually 1234.
