Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Wen Shengsheng paused as she answered the phone, instinctively sensing something was amiss.

Her starry eyes flickered, she put her phone on silent and ignored Xi Yu's call.

Continue flipping through the folder.

next moment.

"Sheng Sheng!"

Xi Yu’s familiar voice suddenly came from the roof.

Wen Shengsheng screamed in fright.

"It's nothing, it's just a security camera." Deng Wei pointed to the white camera in the corner.

"What are you doing?" Xi Yu's voice came from the monitor again.

Wen Shengsheng couldn't see his expression, but judging from his tone, he must look terrible.

"It's nothing. The house is in my name, I'm just taking a look around."

As she spoke, she continued to search through Ren Jun's information.

"Sheng Sheng, put those things down. I'm on my way back. What do you want to know? I'll tell you myself." Xi Yu's tone was somewhat urgent.

Compared to his unease, Wen Shengsheng was much calmer.

"No need, your mouth is always so tight, you can't be pried open even with steel bars, so I'm not counting on you."

"Sheng Sheng!"

Xi Yu was clearly provoked.

But the more anxious he became, the clearer Wen Shengsheng realized that something was wrong!

Just then, she found Ren Jun's information!

She frowned as she memorized all of Ren Jun's information.

After finishing all my tasks, I wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Instead, they went directly to the small garden behind the villa, as if they knew the way well.

She loved swinging since she was little, so Xi Yu tied a swing to the pear tree in the garden for her.

It still exists in this lifetime.

Looking at the desolate garden in front of her, Wen Shengsheng sat on the swing and began to swing slowly.

In her previous life, she was so bored at home that she planted a lot of things in the garden.

Under her management, the place is vibrant and full of life every day.

As Wen Shengsheng was reminiscing, she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

The man slowed his pace as he approached her, and at the same time, she felt a gentle push on her back.

"This swing was specially tied for you, do you like it?"

Xi Yu's deep voice sounded from above.

"I don't like it. This garden is too desolate and ugly," she pouted, complaining.

“Then if you live here, the land won’t be deserted. You can take care of it yourself and plant whatever you want.” Xi Yu’s tone softened.

"Forget it, I don't have the leisure for that. I'm afraid I'll encounter ghosts if I live in such a big villa by myself."

Xi Yu chuckled and pulled back the swaying Wen Shengsheng.

"Since you're living alone, I'll stay and keep you company."

Wen Shengsheng turned to look at him.

His tone was somewhat provocative, "Why are you in such a hurry to come back? Are you afraid to let me see your trade secrets?"

Wen Shengsheng's nose is very round, like a water droplet.

He looked down at her from such a high position.

Xi Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't resist reaching out and squeezing it.

"Whether you let me have it or not, you've already finished reading it, haven't you?"

Wen Shengsheng slapped his hand away and asked bluntly, "What's going on between you and Song Yufeng?"

"Why do you know the villa's password? Why do you know the password to my safe? And why do you know about that folder? Tell me, and I'll tell you." Xi Yu bent down, placed his hands on either side of the swing, and wrapped Wen Shengsheng between his arms.

Wen Shengsheng started making things up, "When we lived at the Xi residence before, one night I sneaked into your room while you were drunk, intending to take some nude photos of you. Then I heard you reciting a password in your dream, so I memorized it."

"Hehe~" Xi Yu was amused. "You've grown up and become more mischievous. You even dare to make my jokes."

She stood up and looked up at Xi Yu.

"I've seen Ren Jun's information. Do you have anything else to say?"

Xi Yu's gaze was indifferent, a silence that Wen Shengsheng had anticipated.

Ring...

The phone rang; it was Gong Xiaochen.

"If you don't have anything to say, I'll be going now. My boyfriend is here to pick me up."

Xi Yu's lips drooped slightly as he asked again, "How did you know those passwords?"

"One secret for another secret. If you don't say anything, I naturally won't say anything either."

“Sheng Sheng.” Xi Yu said with a hint of helplessness.

"Brother Yu, you always treat me like a little kid, but I'm not a middle school student anymore!"

After speaking, Wen Shengsheng ignored Xi Yu's increasingly disappointed expression and stepped out of the small garden.

Deng Wei was waiting for her at the entrance.

As she passed through the living room, Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but stop and look at the sofa facing the front door.

His gaze drifted into the distance.

That day, when she was arguing with Gong Xiaochen at Jiuru Mansion, some fragmented memories flashed through her mind.

She remembered.

In her previous life, not long after her marriage, she had met Gong Xiaochen here.

He was sitting on that sofa.

At that time, Xi Yu was newly married and often came back to stay.

One day, she was tending to the garden outside. The jasmine flowers in the yard were as white as snow, with a delicate and rich fragrance. She picked a few stems to take home and put in a vase to scent the house.

As soon as I entered, I saw that there were many people sitting in the living room.

Most of them are second-generation rich kids from Beijing's social circles.

As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes fell on her like spotlights, and several young rich kids she had never seen before started teasing her.

"No wonder Young Master Xi's wedding was so low-key. Turns out he was keeping a mistress hidden away, afraid someone would steal her away from him."

"Absolutely! I knew Young Master Xi was so dashing and charming, what kind of woman could possibly win him over? I never imagined she'd be such a stunner!"

"Come, come, let your sister-in-law sit here and chat with everyone."

"..."

The crowd cheered and egged him on, but Xi Yu's expression remained unchanged, though his demeanor became somewhat indifferent.

“We’re talking about work, you should go back to your room first,” he said to Wen Shengsheng.

Upon hearing this, the rich kids immediately sighed and began to complain.

Wen Shengsheng didn't like their gazes, so she nodded and walked upstairs to her bedroom with the flowers.

The door to the master bedroom on the second floor is directly above the living room.

After going upstairs, you need to walk through a corridor to get back to your room.

The conversation in the living room continued; they had started talking about other things and stopped discussing Wen Shengsheng.

However, Wen Shengsheng noticed a gaze that was constantly following her.

That gaze was burning and sharp, fixed on her, and she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

Her hand was already on the doorknob, but she couldn't resist turning her head to look.

Then I met a pair of deep and sharp black eyes.

Gong Xiaochen, dressed in black, sat quietly on the sofa, gazing at Wen Shengsheng from afar.

His gaze was sharp as a knife, yet as dark as an abyss, as if it had pierced through the storms of time, and he stared at her intently.

Wen Shengsheng's heart trembled.

She didn't know why, but she subconsciously felt a sense of tension, lowered her head, and quickly walked into the bedroom.

But it's also strange.

Just as she was about to close the bedroom door, she couldn't help but look up at Gong Xiaochen.

He was still staring at himself.

Their eyes met, and Wen Shengsheng tightened her grip on the door frame again.

She felt as if she had been frozen in place, her whole body tense, every inch of her skin trembling slightly at the sight of their eyes.

At the same time, her face felt like it was on fire, burning hot.

This unfamiliar yet intense gaze made her very uncomfortable.

She quickly closed the door, blocking his view.

After returning to his room, he was unable to calm down for a long time.
