Chapter 70: The Room on the Third Floor
Gu Yanjue asked her for one time on the long table.
At first, she was gentle, but when she got used to it, she did it fiercely. The first time was almost catharsis for his stress, and it was not fun at all.
Later, he picked up Lin Shen and went to his bedroom on the second floor.
Lin Shen knew that he wouldn't just let himself go like this.
She couldn't do it at all, so she could only cooperate with him and didn't dare to resist.
Even if it hurts, I can only endure it, and in the end, somehow I feel a little comfortable.
β¦β¦
When I woke up the next day, the person beside me was gone.
My hands were empty in the hollows of the pillow, and I felt the body temperature on the fabric that had not yet dissipated.
Thinking that he was up late, he called the servants in the manor a joke. Pull some sheets over your chest and get out of bed.
The talent is halfway up, and his eyes touch the ground is full of wolves. Paper towels, torn bags, skirts, messy, reminded Lin Shen of last night's madness.
She was thin-skinned and almost instantly red.
Afraid of being seen, I cleaned up myself. When I found the new clothes placed on the stool at the end of the bed, I realized that someone had already come in for this kind of work.
After freshening up and going out, the housekeeper Uncle Li had been waiting on the promenade at the door for a long time.
Uncle Li, who is wearing a formal suit, is like a housekeeper living in Downton Abbey, that is, a gentleman with a sense of respect and alienation from his subordinates.
He bent down and asked, "Miss Lin, breakfast has been prepared." This side please. β
Lin Shen nodded slightly, and naturally enjoyed these services, as if he was in his own ancient castle.
Seeing her walk gracefully, she patrolled the place like the mistress of the manor. Uncle Li has a different view of her.
He has served the Gu family for more than thirty years, and he has never seen the young master come back with a woman outside, and this Miss Lin has been here twice.
Although it was only a quick glance last time, I could see that the young master's attitude towards her was different.
Last night, he made such a careful arrangement, but what happened later caught him a little off guard. He sent his men far away, and kept them at the door.
After Lin Shen walked into last night's restaurant, an unnatural expression appeared on his face.
Although it had already been cleaned, when I saw the long table, I was left with a mess of memories.
After sitting down, she didn't see Gu Yanjue, she looked up and asked the housekeeper who was serving the dinner plate on the side: "Where is Mr. Gu?" β
Uncle Li took the coffee and bread from the servant and placed them in front of her, and replied respectfully, "The young master is handling official business in the study. β
Lin Shen glanced at the hands of the floor clock by the wall, it was just nine o'clock.
He's really busy.
Her breakfast was simple, a cappuccino and a buttered croissant.
It's not that the people in the manor are deliberately snubbing.
This is her living habit, Gu Yanjue remembers it all.
Lin Shen finished eating slowly. didn't want to disturb Gu Yanjue's work, so he asked the housekeeper, "Can I visit here later?" β
Uncle Li said politely: "Miss Lin wants to be natural, I will accompany you." β
Just as he wanted to say no, a maid ran in in a panic and said, "Uncle Li, I'm afraid there is a heavy rain when the wind is blowing outside, and the circuit that was cut off by the construction last time has been unstable, and the maintenance master has not arrived yet." β
Uncle Li turned around and said sorry.
Lin Shen rushed ahead of him and said, "It's okay, you're busy with yours, I'll do it by myself." β
After watching them leave, she went on a tour on her own.
The interior of this villa is not flashy and it seems that it has not been altered for some years. It's like the dΓ©cor of a bungalow in the twenties and thirties. And I have always lived in Italy, such a building has only been seen in online TV series.
Therefore, I revealed a lot of interest in my heart, and I forgot the time for a while.
When I reached the third floor, I didn't see a single servant, and I didn't want to explore anymore, but there was a pot of white daisies on the windowsill at the end of the corridor.
It reminded her of the castle where she had lived for more than 20 years, and the small white flowers that covered the mountains from spring to autumn.
From the balcony of her bedroom, she can enjoy the sea of flowers quietly.
When he saw something familiar, he walked briskly and leaned there.
At this time, the dark clouds outside the window began to thicken, and the daisies looked extremely vulnerable in the strong wind. Lin Shen closed the half-open window with his hand.
A gust of wind blew open a hidden door before she closed the window.
Lin Shen's upbringing would not let her trespass into other people's rooms, but she just glanced at it inattentively and saw that the decoration style inside was completely different from that of the entire villa.
It's like returning to the castle of the Norse family.
She couldn't help but be curious.
The frescoes, the carpets, the velvet curtains, just like my own room in Italy. It's just that there are more oil paintings on the walls.
The painting is what frightened her.
Dungeon.
One by one, the same picture is repeated over and over again.
Her breathing froze, and the sound of her heartbeat in her chest filled her ears like thunder.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning slashed down the window and exploded on the ground. A cold, damp breath crept in through the cracks in the window, wrapping around her.
I wanted to escape, but I couldn't move a single step.
Dark clouds obscured the sun, completely obscuring the light.
Another lightning bolt like human blood spread through the darkness and exploded on her heart.
The lights went out instantly.
It was accompanied by a woman's terrible scream.
β¦β¦
Early in the morning, Gu Yanjue was awakened by the information sent by Chen Yu. Looking at Lin Shen, who was curled up in his arms and sleeping like a kitten, his good-looking fingers picked up the broken hair on her forehead and gently dropped a kiss.
She kept screaming about pain last night, and she couldn't help but do it twice.
If this kind of words are shouted in her soft voice, she will only be bullied even worse.
Looking at her slightly trembling eyelashes and tear stains at the corners of her eyes, her body reacted again.
But there are so many things that I can only sigh a long time.
Hurry away from her.
Working hours passed quickly, and Gu Yanjue smoked a lot of cigarettes during this period. When the temporary end is over, I take off my glasses and pinch the base of my nose, and look out the window to relax.
When he wasn't working, Lin Shen's slender and delicate figure would occupy his entire brain.
She must be the mistress of this manor in the future, so she has no scruples and brings her back.
Unfortunately, the weather is bad today, gray and gloomy. Originally, I thought that I would take Lin Shen around the manor after the work, but I was afraid that it would not be realized.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning mixed with screams made his brows tremble.
Lin Shen!
Gu Yanjue strode out of the study, met Uncle Li at the staircase, and shouted, "Where is she?" β
Uncle Li saw that his face was urgent, and he was afraid that something big was going to happen. The last time there was a power outage, Miss Lin passed out.
"It sounds like it's on the third floor."
Thinking of something, Gu Yanjue cursed: "Damn." β
Three steps and two steps rushed to the innermost room on the third floor, which was his grandmother Tia's room.
It was filled with the darkest fears in her heart.
Lin Shen is inside, he is going crazy.
He guessed correctly, in the corner of the room, Lin Shen curled up and hugged his head and cried.
Slowly walked up to her and didn't hug her for the first time.
The man stood as if he had lost his soul, his fingers shaking in silence.
Time seemed to go back twenty years ago, the first time he saw his grandmother who was out of control, it was such a night of lightning and thunder, the same corner, a terrible cry.
He will never forget.
