At the same time, on the top deck of the Hilton Hotel in London, a man was standing in the wind. Looking at the capital city which was still brightly lit in the early hours of the morning, his heart drifted to the distant west coast of the United States.
He stuck his tongue out and sucked the last drop of wine into his mouth, allowing the wine's fragrance to blossom and dissipate between his lips.
"Ouyang Yu, why aren't you sleeping?" A delicate voice sounded from behind him. Soon after, a slim and graceful girl with a pretty and quiet appearance appeared at the exit of the balcony.
Hearing that, Ouyang Yu did not move, he just put down his wine cup, leaned on the fence, and continued to wander.
"The sky is about to brighten. You're just standing there, blowing the wind all night?"
She was not angry at Ouyang Yu's negligence. Instead, she asked while slowly walking forward, blinking her bright eyes.
"Louisen, right?"
Lowering his head to pour another cup of wine, Ouyang Yu asked.
"Yes!" "How did you know …"
"If I remember correctly, we won't meet until tomorrow or tonight, will we?"
After interrupting Lu Aisen's excited doubts, Ouyang Yu slowly closed his open collar as he looked at the woman whose smile was frozen on her face.
She was beautiful, dressed in a tight, sexy short skirt, her long, straight, white legs trembling in the night breeze.
Seeing that, Ouyang Yu frowned, he turned his eyes away, casually picked up the long Wind Robe on the chair, and threw it onto Lu Aisen's shoulder.
"Aren't you cold when you wear so little in the middle of the night on the terrace?"
"You care about me!" Lu Eisen's eyes shone with excitement. She threw her overcoat back onto the chair, grabbed Ouyang Yu's arm and endured the cold wind as she made a move. "If I say it's cold, will you hug me and help me warm up?"
A mouthful of wine almost choked his throat. Ouyang Yu looked at this young miss of the Qian Jin in shock, sighing over the wonders of the world.
Although this young miss had a genuine Asian appearance, her inner self had been thoroughly embellished by the British. Her words were so straightforward that they seemed to frighten people. There was no trace of the euphemism in her words.
Helplessly putting down his glass, he remembered his mother's warning and maintained his gentleman demeanor. Ouyang Yu picked up his coat, threw it at Lu Aisen, put down his wine cup and turned to walk to the door.
"Wake up!"
Feeling his unrelenting gaze from behind him, Ouyang Yu left his last sentence and walked out of the terrace.
The sea breeze blew across the shore, sweeping the waves that had raged all night long, bringing the warm current brought by the rising sun to the shore.
The heavy curtain in the master bedroom of the ancient fortress was lifted by a corner. Gu An Xia looked at the pillar of light that had stabbed into the room.
The sky was just starting to brighten, but she could no longer fall asleep. All night long, she had been troubled by the dream about Ouyang Yu.
Sensing that there was the sound of housekeepers and servants secretly getting up and working outside, Gu An Xia blinked his eyes, looking at the little red sun that was climbing up, waiting for her to leave.
"Young Madam, have you slept? It's time for breakfast." The housekeeper's gentle and respectful voice came out, and he urged Gu An Xia, who was supposed to be addicted to sleep, to sleep.
At eight-thirty in the morning, without missing a beat, she would be knocked on the door.
Gu An Xia waited for around a minute before he slowly got up. He then ruffled his hair, pretended to be sleepy, and walked over to open the door.
Then a pair of maids filed in, tidying her up from head to toe, and changing the bedclothes from the one she had slept in the night. At this point, the butler was not present. He would go downstairs to the kitchen and carefully supervise the work of the chef to ensure the quality of her food.
Two maids were busy at the foot of the bed, and usually she would just stand there in a daze, letting a maid pull her, helping her to tidy up her clothes.
Gu An Xia carefully rotated his gaze and silently calculated in his heart. He felt that the probability of escape was zero.
Then, at about nine o'clock sharp, she was escorted cautiously down to breakfast by a pair of maids.
The process was still very arduous, and she would have difficulty chewing under the gazes of dozens of servants and a housekeeper. Gu An Xia was currently a pregnant woman who was in a state of unconsciousness. She did not have any ability to think, so of course she would not mind.
Thus, she could only forcefully hold on like this, trying her best to ignore everything around her, pretending to be sluggish as she ate her food.
Under this kind of environment, where everyone was paying attention to her, she naturally had to be obedient and not make the slightest mistake.
After the meal, he rested for a while. At about half past ten, when the sun was at its brightest, she would be led by the servants to walk in the castle garden and sit under the cozy shady perch of creeper and rose.
At this time, she had only one maid by her side, and the other two were arranged at the far end of the garden gate. The housekeeper wandered around the building, taking care of some trivial matters that she did not understand.
So, this was the perfect time to escape!
"Ugh!" "Cough, cough!" Gu An Xia suddenly retched, breaking the peace and comfort of the garden.
"Madam! Are you okay? "
The maid, who was originally standing still and wasting time, trembled in fear. She quickly moved forward and gently patted Gu An Xia's back.
After Gu An Xia became pregnant, the butler had helped them train their body to deal with the sudden onset of a pregnant woman, so the maid only hesitated for a moment before quickly recovering her composure. His hand began to move slowly.
But after half a minute, Gu An Xia's condition did not improve at all. Instead, she vomited even more, until her face was completely red.
The maid saw that the situation was not good, so she reached into the pocket of her apron for the medicine, but there was nothing there.
"Oh my god, where's the medicine?" The maid looked at Gu An Xia who was in a terrible situation and grabbed his arm, wanting to bring her inside the house. Unfortunately, Gu An Xia did not even have the strength to stand up, and directly collapsed on the grass.
The servant girl was now completely scared silly, she did not dare to be negligent anymore, and immediately placed Gu An Xia on a chair, found a small door behind the ancient fortress, called out the butler's name and rushed in.
In the morning, while the servant was helping her tidy up her clothes, she carefully stole the medicine from her pocket and kept it in her pocket without letting anyone discover it.
As the servant's voice faded, Gu An Xia's pretended coughing and vomiting stopped abruptly. She took out the medicine from her pocket and threw it on the ground, then carefully got up and peeked inside the door.
Seeing nothing amiss, she was like a wild beast released from its cage, rushing into the depths of the garden!
