"I should be the one to say this."
Nanzhi smiled with bright eyes and unparalleled pride: "From now on, as long as I don't leave this manor, my mother and I can do whatever we want at home."
"If you don't like it, please bear with me."
After Nanzhi finished speaking, his face gradually turned cold, "Remember, it was Huo Sijue who begged me to come back, not of my own free will."
"I'm not Gu Mingxi, I will look at your faces eagerly, so -"
"Put it away and don't force me to fall out."
She spoke calmly, and she really looked like Mrs. Huo.
After everyone had dispersed, Nanzhi said obediently and coquettishly: "Mom, I'm hungry."
In the evening, we had coconut chicken. Before leaving, Huo Sijue ordered someone to send a fresh hen every day to keep Nanzhi healthy.
The chicken soup is fragrant and sweet with coconut.
Lin Ya was not willing to serve at the table, and the maid always looked at her with hostility. But Nanzhi refused. Not only that, after they finished eating, Nanzhi also named the maid to clean up.
Although she was unwilling to do so, she still did it due to her status.
After washing up at night, Nanzhi still wanted Lin Ya to sleep with her, but this time, the maid firmly objected.
"Mr. Huo doesn't like others touching his things."
The implication is that Lin Ya is not worthy.
Huo Sijue has a mysophobia, and Nanzhi knows that. In the past few years, she has been very cautious when accompanying this man. The quilt cover has to be changed every three days, the carpet must be new every week, and even the glass must be wiped crystal clear. Spotless.
Nanzhi frowned, and after thinking about it, he let Lin Ya sleep in the next room. There is only a study room between them, so they are not too far apart.
After nightfall, Nanzhi went to bed and received a call from Huo Sijue across the ocean.
"Did I disturb you?" A familiar voice came from the phone, a little tired.
Although Nanzhi was not waiting for him specifically, her nose still felt sore.
"I'm just getting ready to take a rest. How are you doing over there?"
Three hundred million is not a small amount.
Although Nanzhi didn't want to continue being Huo Sijue's wife, she didn't want him to decline either.
"It's a bit troublesome. Grandma passed by today?" he asked knowingly.
At the mention of this, Nanzhi instantly became angry. She frowned and said displeasedly: "The guards in the manor are the ones you use to guard me?"
Then she was really honored, worthy of Huo Sijue's efforts!
Huo Sijue smiled, his voice soft.
He was leaning on the European-style sofa, with pure English documents scattered on the floor around him. Kneading the center of his eyebrows with his slender fingertips, he listened to Nanzhi's voice immersedly, feeling extremely satisfied.
"There are always guards on the mountainside, but these days you are here, so I asked Lu Cheng to send more people."
"Where's the maid? She barely used her nose to see me!" Nanzhi described it exaggeratedly, still feeling angry.
"Aunt Li used to serve my mother. She has been living in the manor these years and has never taken care of anyone else. But she is the person I trust most."
Nanzhi's sleepiness was gone.
She pinched the sheets and vividly told Huo Sijue everything that had happened that afternoon, her face flushed with anger.
Huo Sijue coaxed, "Be good and wait until I come back."
"How long will it take?" Nanzhi asked, raising her eyebrows.
They looked like a couple who separated after a wedding, with a complaining tone.
"At least half a month."
As soon as Huo Sijue finished speaking, thunder suddenly appeared outside the window, and a flash of silver light illuminated half of the sky.
Nanzhi's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and her whole body felt cold. Just now, she clearly saw a person standing outside the window, and his figure was particularly clear in the light.
"Are you listening to me?"
On the phone, Huo Sijue's tone was a little tired, "I'll try to go back as soon as possible. I've already told grandma that she won't bother you again during this period."
"Nanzhi?"
Nanzhi held the phone, not daring to make a sound. She stared out the window, her palms gradually sweating.
"Huo, Sir Huo, there won't be anyone else in the manor, right?"
Nanzhi felt a chill in her back and her fingertips trembled slightly... She lowered her voice, gripped the quilt tightly, and watched the black shadow flash past and then suddenly disappear.
At the same time, she quickly turned on the crystal lamp, and the dark room suddenly became as bright as day.
"What happened?"
"It's okay, maybe I saw it wrong." Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and came to the water table to drink a glass of warm water.
"There are many guards in the manor. There are people guarding the inside and outside. Don't you..."
"Dududu——"
Before Huo Sijue finished speaking, Nanzhi's cell phone ran out of battery.
She was just about to look for the plug, but the moment she turned around, the room suddenly became dark again. This time, not only the master bedroom, but the entire manor fell into deathly silence.
Nanzhi's heart suddenly thumped, and the bad premonition suppressed her until she had difficulty breathing.
She opened the door and rushed out, "What happened?"
No one responded in the huge corridor, only the emergency lights outside the window kept flashing.
The leader's nurse said, "Madam, don't worry, we will take care of it soon."
"how long?"
As soon as Nanzhi finished speaking, someone suddenly patted him on the back. She was so frightened that she almost screamed, but a pair of cold hands tightly covered her lips.
They stood on the balcony in an extremely ambiguous posture, and Nanzhi stood in the dark, so even if there was a living person standing behind her, no one downstairs would notice.
Without saying a word, the man behind him dragged Nanzhi and pressed her to the innermost part of the corridor.
"Are you scared?"
It’s freezing cold!
"How did you get in?" After Nanzhi got a breath, he was about to shout for help when he grabbed his neck with one hand.
"For the sake of your poor mother, I advise you to worry less." The cold voice was like a scorpion at night, cold-blooded and poisonous, and it seemed that it could pierce her body in any minute.
"I've let you go for too long, have you forgotten something?" He smiled lowly, leaned over Nanzhi's neck, and took a lick of Nanzhi's earlobe.
A cold and biting pain swept over her, and Nanzhi shivered violently.
"I will prepare the medicine carefully. I have prepared all the things Uncle Fu sent last time and they are at the hospital. I thought you would go back and get them..."
"Really? What happens after you take it?"
The coldness licked from the earlobe to the chin and then to the neck.
"Nanzhi, you are so stupid when you lie. Do you think I don't know anything?"
"If I don't come to you, will you elope with Huo Sijue next time?"
Leng Lie said it harshly, but one hand had already reached into her pajamas, and just when she was about to touch a sensitive area, Nanzhi grabbed him in panic.
"Whatever you want, just say it and stop teasing me."
"Medicine! Eyes!" Leng Lie said through gritted teeth.
"The eyes are in the detoxification period. As long as you remove the toxins, I can help you regain your sight." Nanzhi tried to stabilize his emotions, "But you can see it now, and I can't get out."
If Leng Lie really had his way, he would have taken her out of the manor long ago and would not waste time with her here.
After thinking about this, Nanzhi felt a little more relaxed.
The hands seemed to have no intention of leaving. The cold fingertips slid back and forth on her skin, and finally stopped somewhere and asked an unrelated question.
"You went to Beihai?"
Nanzhi's pupils suddenly gathered, and a name suddenly came to his mind.
"Miss Nan is so cruel. She goes back when she is told to go back and leaves when she is told to leave."
The meaning of these words was particularly profound. Nanzhi's thoughts were all on his fingertips that were inserted into his clothes, and he didn't have time to think about it in detail.
"There's nothing you can do if you're anxious. Huo Sijue won't be back for half a month. Or, I'll give you the prescription, and you can ask Uncle Fu to help you catch it."
"What if I still can't get better after half a month?"
Leng Lie lost his patience. He and Nan Zhixu had been fighting each other for too long. The people over there can't wait to get rid of him, he can't hide for long.
"It will definitely get better. If it doesn't, I'll dig out your eyes for you." Nanzhi took a breath of air and spoke calmly.
The air was silent for a few seconds, the man smiled, and the temperature around him became even colder.
"I quite like the way you talk big."
His eyes had been treated for several years, but no one could find a cure all over the country. Nanzhi was his last straw and his last hope. Leng Lie never felt that Nanzhi could be 100% sure.
And this woman, with her eyes ready to dig, could easily say even such a bet.
"Nanzhi——"
The cold tone suddenly softened a bit. He approached Nanzhi and smelled her scent carefully.
greed, lust, possessiveness
"If you can't cure me, come with me."
In a word, a bolt from the blue
Nanzhi was stunned, not understanding the meaning of his words for a moment.
"You want to kill me?"
He smiled coldly, "Do I seem to be such a cruel person?"
Who are you!
"I will lock you up, scrape off your flesh piece by piece with a knife, and finally throw you into the sea."
He said the most fatal words to Nanzhi in an extremely soft tone. In the end, he didn't forget to hold Nanzhi's face with both hands, forcing her to look at him.
"Half a month is the deadline for me to tolerate you."
"But in the meantime, I want you to apply the medicine for me yourself."
How to get on?
"This is Huo Sijue's territory. Could it be that you -"
Crazy, all chaos!
"You...do you have to come here every night?"
What's the difference between that and her stealing someone behind Huo Sijue's back?
Nanzhi's face turned red with shame, "No, it's not safe for you to come here every night. If the guards find out, both you and I will be finished!"
"Can't find it."
Leng Lie touched Nanzhi's face and rubbed it back and forth with his thumb over and over again, "As long as you are willing to let me sleep here, I will comply with your wishes and give you another half month."
Nanzhi's brain exploded instantly!
She even arranged for Lin Ya to stay in the room next door. This man actually wanted to sleep with her while Huo Sijue was away?
