Imagining the man's jade-like fingers stabbing into the horse's belly, Chu Nanxi couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
He could lay a hand on such a beautiful horse.
This man was far more ruthless than the rumors suggested!
"Miss Chu, please!" Uncle Zhao whispered at the entrance to the stairs, and Chu Nanxi withdrew her gaze, following him up to the second floor, and pushed open a door along the hallway, he politely spoke, "This is your room."
The room was spacious and sunny, with the entire southern wall made up of a large sunlit terrace. The floor was covered with a soft shag carpet, in a simple and elegant black, white, and grey palette, accented with her favorite sunflower yellow.
On the table, a bunch of sunflowers bloomed brilliantly.
"Where does Mr. Li sleep?"
"The room next door is the gentleman's bedroom."
Chu Nanxi exhaled slightly in relief.
Good, it wasn't the same room.
However...
The entire room's layout and color scheme perfectly matched her taste, even the flowers were her favorite!
Could it be?!
"Was this room specifically prepared for me?"
"I'm not quite sure about that, everything was arranged as per the Young Master's instructions, and we only found out today that you were moving in," the butler stopped at the doorway, "Clothes have already been prepared for you in the dressing room. If there's anything else you need, please tell me at any time, and I will arrange it for you."
In the living room, the telephone rang.
The butler excused himself to answer the call, while Chu Nanxi initially stood still. Hearing the door closing behind her, she quickly moved into the dressing room.
The vast dressing room was neatly hung with women's clothing.
There were her everyday favorites like jeans, T-shirts, and sweatshirts, as well as gorgeous evening dresses...
She randomly checked the label of one of the garments, revealing the size.
The smallest size.
Her size!
With a slight frown, she took a pair of shoes from the shelf and glanced at the size.
Size 36.
Again, her size!
Reluctantly, she opened a nearby drawer, and even the lingerie was all her size.
If it belonged to another woman, it wouldn't be strange for the clothing to be in the same size, but even the shoes and underwear were a perfect fit, which was too coincidental.
Could this guy have... investigated her?!
Footsteps approached from outside, and she acted as if nothing was amiss, closing the drawer and standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.
The butler re-entered, "What would you like for dinner tonight?"
"Anything is fine."
"Then I will prepare as the gentleman instructed, do you need something to eat right now?"
"Thank you, I am not hungry yet."
"Alright, if there's anything, you can ring the call bell on the wall, and I will come up immediately."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Chu Nanxi spoke up again.
"May I look around?"
"The gentleman said that from today onwards, you are the mistress of the house, so of course you may go anywhere..." the butler paused slightly, "however, the gentleman does not like others to enter his bedroom."
Chu Nanxi raised an eyebrow.
His bedroom?
She wouldn't go there even if asked!
After the butler left, she put down her backpack and meticulously inspected every corner of the room.
This Li Hannian, bold enough to kiss a face like hers, who knows if he might have some voyeuristic tendencies or the like.
The bedroom, bathroom, dressing room...
After carefully inspecting the entire room and ensuring there were no cameras or anything of the sort, Chu Nanxi took out her phone to call Julie.
"Help me look up Li Hannian, the more detailed, the better."
How could she fight him when he knew so much about her, yet she knew nothing about him?
"Also, I've lost my passport, prepare a set of application materials for a new one."
Hmph!
The Chu Family thinks they can restrict her movements with just a passport, how naive!
