Chapter VII: Suspicious
It was a white, three-story building, European-style, with pothos hanging from the windows climbing up to the exterior wall, adding a fresh touch to the cold winter day.
It was clearly the villa she had lived in for more than 20 years!
Guan Linyuan had already walked in, and after she was shocked, she also hurriedly followed.
In contrast to the cold temperatures outside, the inside of the house is heated and warm like spring.
The layout and furnishings on the first floor had not changed, and she could clearly see what was placed in what place with her eyes closed, as it had been a year ago.
It's just that the maid and the housekeeper standing by the door have changed into unfamiliar faces.
She has lived here since she was sensible, and every flower, grass, chair and table stimulates her memories, and the past is like an old photo album that has been opened, and the pictures are replayed in her mind.
She bit her lower lip and her eyes heated.
"You bought this villa? What about my parents? She asked subconsciously.
When Guan Linyuan heard this, he turned around and glanced at her coldly, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Do you think this is still the Zhou family?" ”
Zhou Yiyan actually regretted it when she finished asking that sentence, and the too familiar environment made her seem to have returned to the time when the Zhou family was not declining, and she forgot for a while that things were right and wrong, and they were no longer glorious.
She felt embarrassed, and stood by the door with the baby in her arms, feeling that not only Guan Linyuan, but even those servants were laughing at her.
Guan Linyuan took off his coat and handed it to the housekeeper, while continuing: "Marrying into the Guan family is the person of the Guan family, don't always think about finding your mother." ”
Zhou Yiyan flattened his mouth, slandering in his heart, this villa is obviously my Zhou's family.
At this time, the housekeeper asked, "Sir, lunch is ready, is it time to eat?" ”
Zhou Yiyan was attracted by this voice, and couldn't help but glance at the housekeeper more.
The other party looked slightly older than Guan Linyuan, handsome, wearing a black fitted suit, with a polite smile on his face, which was completely different from the old housekeeper of their Zhou family, which suddenly made her feel refreshed.
Guan Linyuan pondered for a moment and asked the housekeeper, "What about her?" ”
The housekeeper said, "I just arrived, and I was packing upstairs. ”
Zhou Yiyan secretly beat the drum in his heart, who are they talking about? Then I had a whim, could it be Guan Linyuan's little love?
"Let's get ready for dinner." Guan Linyuan didn't ask any more questions, and walked straight to the restaurant.
The housekeeper saw that Zhou Yiyan was still standing, so he stepped forward and said, "Little master, leave it to me, please eat first." ”
Zhou Yiyan had a good impression of this polite gentleman, thanked him, and let him take the baby away.
Who knew that the baby had just left her arms and suddenly cried "wow".
Butler: "......"
Zhou Yiyan was startled, and hurriedly hugged him again: "Little baby, why are you crying again?" ”
The little baby responds to her: "Wow, wow, wow, wow." ”
Zhou Yiyan said distressedly: "If you cry again, I will cry with you." ”
Guan Linyuan frowned, and said to the housekeeper, "Go up and call someone......"
"It's coming, it's coming." The brisk sound was accompanied by the footsteps downstairs, and the people jumped up and down to Zhou Yiyan.
"Huh? How are you?! Zhou Yiyan glanced up at the other party, shocked beyond measure, "Are you his person?!" ”
Mai Li pointed to himself in confusion and asked, "Who am I?" ”
Baby: "Wow, wow, wow, wow!" ”
Butler: What is the situation of "......" now?
Guan Linyuan's voice sounded so cold that it was about to freeze: "Let's see what the baby's problem is." ”
Mai Oak took the baby, skillfully opened the swaddling clothes and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It should be that the diaper is wet and uncomfortable, and it is a tantrum." ”
Then he quickly changed the little guy into new diapers.
Zhou Yiyan watched her series of movements like flowing water, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You are so powerful." ”
"Practice makes perfect, and you can practice a few more times." Mai Oak folded the swaddling clothes, raised his hand and patted his little ass rhythmically, and before long, the little one gradually stopped his voice, closed his eyes and went to sleep again.
The housekeeper took the opportunity to introduce the two of them: "Madam, this is the nurse who Mr. specially invited to come back to take care of the baby and teach you how to take care of the baby, Mai Li." ”
Mai Li answered with a smile: "I was quite surprised when Mr. Guan said that he wanted to hire me this morning, but I didn't hesitate to agree when I thought that it was to take care of Xiaozhou's baby." ”
Zhou Yiyan was immediately surprised and delighted, she didn't even have a friend after she was down, it was rare to fall in love with Mai Li, and now with her by her side, she would not be isolated in the Guan family, which couldn't be better.
Mai Li didn't forget Zhou Yiyan's previous words, and asked, "Who did you just say I was?" ”
Zhou Yiyan peeked at Guan Linyuan, and saw that the maid had already served the meal, he was eating expressionlessly, and didn't seem to pay attention to them, so he whispered: "A misunderstanding, I want to be crooked." ”
Mai Li thought about it for a while, and knew that she had misunderstood something, and couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
Zhou Yiyan was in a bad mood, and his appetite was naturally not open, and he didn't want to eat even more when he thought of having dinner with Guan Linyuan.
"Then Madame should go to the room and rest first, and I will take the luggage." The housekeeper is understanding and authentic.
Zhou Yiyan's luggage is not much, just a medium-sized travel bag, which is basically all the baby's things, and the housekeeper easily lifted it up and went upstairs, and she and Mai Li were left behind.
Counting from the top of the staircase, the first room was the study, then her former bedroom, then the master bedroom, and at the end of the hallway was the utility room.
On the third floor is a maid's room and a sunroom.
As she passed her previous room, she involuntarily stopped and asked, "Can I stay in this room?" ”
The housekeeper walked directly to the door of the master bedroom, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. arranged this room for Mrs. ”
Zhou Yiyan had no choice but to follow.
The master bedroom has obviously been renovated, and the layout and furnishings are very different from before, with a lot of delicate greenery, a lot of lighting, and a mural on the wall that focuses on scenery, which is still her favorite style.
"Does the baby sleep with me?" She didn't see the crib in there.
Mai Li smiled: "The baby is in the baby room, I will take care of it, Xiaozhou you want to be confined, don't worry about it for the time being." ”
Only then did Zhou Yiyan know that the utility room at the end of the corridor had been converted into a baby room.
She walked over and looked inside, and felt that the decoration style was very ordinary.
The walls are basically maintained in the same state, after the debris is emptied, it feels very wide, and a balcony has been added to the south, with an independent bathroom between them, which is designed for small babies and looks like a baby swimming pool facility. The bedroom had a single bed, next to a crib, and a few bulging cushions in the bay window, which was very different from the cute style she had expected.
But it's simple and generous, and it's not bad.
The housekeeper put down his luggage, bowed slightly, and said, "Does Madame have any instructions?" ”
Zhou Yiyan waved his hand, and the housekeeper went downstairs.
Mai Li put the baby in the crib, and then pulled her to whisper: "Ji Feng's eyes are a little blue, do you think he has foreign blood?" ”
"Who is Ji Feng?" Zhou Yiyan looked dazed.
Oak: "It's the housekeeper." ”
Zhou Yiyan suddenly suddenly, and then thought back to Ji Feng's eyes, but he was not impressed.
"I don't care, I'll take a closer look next time."
Mai Li expressed understanding: "You are married, and it is normal for you not to care about other men. ”
Zhou Yiyan wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end there was no explanation.
It is a fact that I am married, and I have received all the marriage certificates, so I can only bury my bitterness in my heart.
Zhou Yiyan was tired, so he didn't talk to Mai Li much and locked himself in the room.
This bedroom used to belong to her parents, but fortunately it had been renovated, otherwise she would not have felt comfortable living here.
The room was large, and she paced slowly, her eyes deliberately avoiding the king-sized bed, and the thought of her coming to sleep with that devilish man made her want to die.
On the east wall is a large built-in wardrobe, the area is amazingly large, she opened a cabinet door casually, and saw that it was full of women's clothes, spring, summer, autumn and winter, all of which were new in the season, and the tags had not been cut.
She was stunned for a moment, then opened the other cabinet door as well, and saw that the handbags of different styles were neatly stacked in six or seven rows.
Open another one, colorful scarves and silk scarves, and feel like you can open a specialty store.
One more, belts, wallets, sunglasses?!
Again......
The details are exhaustive, even inside and inside, which can be described as readily available and considerate.
He ...... So is there money? "This cabinet of things is of high quality and quantity, even when the Zhou family has not yet fallen, she has not been extravagant to this extent.
She felt she needed to calm down.
As far as she knows, Guan Linyuan is just one of Su Musheng's personal bodyguards, as for his origin and identity, she doesn't know, is he actually a rich second generation?
But no, shouldn't the rich second generation inherit the family business, how can they be a bodyguard for others?
And that man's money...... Where did it come from?
Shouldn't I have married an outlaw in a daze?
There are too many mysteries in this man, she feels that she is being dragged into a bottomless whirlpool, calm on the surface, but undercurrent inside, and she is powerless to break free.
Zhou Yiyan couldn't think of a reason for breaking his head, so he simply put this question aside.
She didn't take a bath when she was hospitalized, because the wound couldn't be wet, and although the weather was cold and it was okay not to wash, she always felt that her body was very dirty.
When she was discharged from the hospital, she specially asked the doctor and said that it could be washed, but not for too long, so she briefly rinsed her body.
The hot shower was very comfortable, and after the shower she began to feel sleepy.
She stared at the big bed for a few seconds, then finally lay down and slept with her head covered.
I thought I wouldn't fall asleep so easily, but who knew that I would die as soon as I touched the pillow.
This night, I slept in the dark, and when I woke up again, it was already dark outside the window.
She glanced at the wall clock, and it was already past nine o'clock.
I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I don't feel hungry when I'm too hungry.
Is that to continue to sleep, or to get up? She was in a dilemma.
Just when he hesitated, the doorknob suddenly "clicked" downward and was pushed open.
She was excited, followed the sound, and saw that Guan Linyuan's tall and straight figure had already walked in.
