Prologue

[Chapter 8: Zhai Shao's Inner World]

The moon hides in the faint clouds, overlooking the land.

When Su Xinxin woke up from her dream, it was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Looking out of the window, it was pitch black outside the villa, and not even the shadow of a bodyguard and servant could be seen, which was the best time to escape.

If you don't run away at this time, when will you wait? Hmph~

Do you really want to stay here for three months, waiting to be eaten and wiped clean by Zhai Yichen's man?

As soon as she thought of this, Su Xinxin shook her head decisively.

No, she's going to fight to the end!

After wearing a neat sportswear, Su Xinxin found a self-defense stick in the room and tiptoed down from the villa.

Avoiding the cameras in the villa all the way, I walked to the courtyard outside, only to find a dark shadow standing there.

Scared, why are you so unlucky! It can't be a thief in the villa......

Damn, Su Xinxin's sense of justice is overflowing again! Quietly picked up the stick in her hand and tiptoed towards the black shadow......

Just as the stick was about to fall, the black shadow suddenly turned its head, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's just startling to see it!

Is it Zhai Yichen?!

What is he doing here in the middle of the night?

Su Xinxin hid back a little weakly, she was really afraid of something. Dealing with Zhai Yichen, the big boss in the villa, how can a stick work.

But strangely......

At this moment, Zhai Yichen was standing alone in the courtyard, staring blankly at the stars in the sky, his expression seemed to be melancholy.

Not sleeping in the middle of the night, looking at the stars here, this is something that only artists can do, it really looks like a realistic version of Mozart!

His gaze fell on the shining stars, and the stars fell on his eyelashes. His eyes are full of bottomless gloom, and flickering is heartbreaking sadness.

Slowly raising his eyes, he could see that in his dark black pupils, he quietly hid a heart-wrenching past, and he did not have the demeanor of a domineering president on weekdays.

Seeing Zhai Yichen like this, Su Xinxin couldn't help but flash a touch of distress. What was he thinking? What was more distressing, what was he depressed at the moment?

Su Xinxin maintained the movement of swinging her stick, standing still for a few seconds. After a long time, Zhai Yichen was the first to speak, and an imperceptible worry flashed between his eyebrows.

"Su Xinxin, don't sleep so late? What are you doing here?"

Belch......

Can I say I'm trying to escape, big brother?

After being incoherent for a long time, Su Xinxin still didn't find a more reasonable explanation. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed her head, and she smiled.

"That, that...... I've always been a bit of a bed! I suddenly changed rooms today, and I can't get used to sleeping!"

Zhai Yichen let out a rare "poof", laughed, his tone was not as serious as usual, and teased slightly: "What? Now you start to recognize the bed? Hehe, when the two of us slept together, I didn't see you recognize the bed like this?"

Su Xinxin said that Su Xinxin was red-faced and red-eared, and slept together...... Big brother, do you want to be so direct?

"Aren't you ready to put down the stick in your hand?"

"Oh......"

When she realized that she still maintained a handsome poss, Su Xinxin stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed and put down the stick in her hand in embarrassment.

Quite a little ambitious, she roared in her heart: "Meow! Looking at tonight's posture, she still can't escape......

"Would you like a drink – Colombian coffee?"

I don't know when, Zhai Yichen was already sitting at the small round table in the courtyard, with a cup of steaming coffee in his hand.

This is the life of a local tyrant president...... Su Xinxin was excited!

Colombian coffee is one of the world's finest tasting and highest-quality beverages, and it is a royal specialty coffee, which is difficult to drink even if you have money in many places.

What's more, although Zhai Yichen is a "bird ~ beast", his taste is still good. Coffee machines can be found almost everywhere in the villa, in the kitchen, in the dining room, in the bedroom, and even in the garden.

It can be seen that Zhai Yichen has lived in a privileged environment since he was a child, and he has a handsome face, no wonder he will become the perfect male god in the minds of women in the whole city.

Su Xinxin took the coffee and sniffed it, and said with disdain: "You would be so kind to invite me to drink Colombian coffee?......?

Hearing this, Zhai Yichen couldn't help laughing.

His smile was particularly charming in the bright moonlight, and his obsidian-like eyes had a soft glow.

"What's the matter??, you're afraid of me ~ medicine?" It turns out that this woman is most afraid of that kind of thing, interesting......

"Cut!" Su Xinxin snorted coldly, pursed her lips with great disdain, she was too underestimated to be overlooked, okay?

Anyway, she can be regarded as the daughter of a wealthy family, and any social scene can be held.

Su Xinxin took a sip lightly and smashed her mouth, in fact...... Zhai Yichen's coffee brewing skills are also quite good!

"I didn't expect you to make this kind of coffee!"

"It's not too late to know!"

Although Zhai Yichen's voice was the same as usual, Su Xinxin, who was keen and witty, still smelled an unusual smell.

The two chatted like this, with and without a pair, and soon, Su Xinxin had already drunk two cups of coffee.

Maybe it's because of *, maybe it's because the atmosphere is just right at the moment, in short, now, Su Xinxin has almost become a "chatterbox".

"Young Master Zhai, tell me that you live in such a superior family environment, I don't know how many people envy you to death!"

"Really?" Zhai Yichen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do they envy me?"

Su Xinxin thought about it seriously, snapped her fingers and said to him: "Look at you, as the eldest young master of the Zhai Group, you were born with a golden spoon in your mouth, and you are worth hundreds of millions, so you can have whatever you want." And to be able to inherit the high position of JR International at a young age, this is something that many people can't meet!"

"Some people have struggled all their lives, but they will not meet one of your conditions, not to mention that you have these as soon as you were born, just like the emperor in ancient times, who grew up with the halo of the Son of Heaven!

Listening to Su Xinxin's explanation, the color of Zhai Yichen's eyes became more and more gray.

Yes, everyone envied him, envied him for being born proud, and envied him for having a ...... that others could not struggle for as soon as he was born.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhai Yichen is a favorite who combines time and place, and is one with people, but no one has ever asked him, is this kind of everything he wants?

"You...... What's wrong with you?" After hesitating for a while, Zhai Yichen didn't react, and Su Xinxin couldn't help but ask.

She always felt that Zhai Yichen tonight was weird, different from usual, but she couldn't say it.

It seems that under the heart-to-heart, she saw a different Zhai Yichen.

"Xinxin, do you have a dream?" After a long time, I heard Zhai Yichen say something brainless.

Su Xinxin was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded happily.

"Of course, my dream is to be an internationally renowned fashion designer, so that I can carry forward my own clothes!"

Dream of this kind of thing...... Of course, there is! Maybe one day it will happen?

Zhai Yichen said again: "Actually, I have it too." My dream is just that I can live a simple life like ordinary people. But for me, such a dream is the other side that I can never reach. ”

Nani?Be an ordinary person?Su Xinxin was a little confused when she heard this.

"Growing up, everything I did was obeying my parents' instructions. They have already arranged everything for me, and every choice in life must follow their ideas. No one ever asked me what I wanted, and no one cared if I wanted this kind of life. No one wants to know if all of this will make me happy. ”

"Actually, I just want to be myself, to be a simple self, and no longer struggle with power and business struggles. But why is it all so hard?"

Zhai Yichen's words were like a sharp sword, hitting Su Xinxin's heart directly.

From childhood to adulthood, what she has lived is completely free and unrestrained.

She knows how important the word "freedom" is to a person, and Zhai Yichen is like a caged bird, imprisoned for so many years, constantly accepting what she doesn't want.

Thinking of this, Su Xinxin actually had a faint sadness, and such an inexplicable empathy also made her feel distressed for a moment.

This sad man is always invulnerable and strong, but I really didn't expect that behind this strength, he also has such a fragile side.

"Heh, why did I suddenly say these ...... to her," Zhai Yichen muttered to himself depressedly.

On weekdays, he has already disguised his cold and perfect image well, and this is the first time he has opened his heart to a woman.
