CEO Overlord Love: Contract Lover

Mengyao froze for a moment, but finally walked in.

Zhou Xuan followed behind her and used a lighter to help her light the oil lamp on the wall. In an instant, the dark room became somewhat brighter.

Mengyao turned around in doubt and fear and asked Zhou Xuan: "Why don't you turn on the light?"

Zhou Xuan glanced at her expressionlessly, and then replied: "I don't like too bright environment."

Mengyao paused, did not continue to ask, but turned around and looked around the environment.

The decoration here is no different from the living room. They are all European retro decorations, but the furniture still looks a bit old, with a bit of historical sense of the times, as if it has a history of 80 to [-] years.

"Meng Yao, you will live here from now on." Zhou Xuan suddenly spoke, breaking her mind.

After Mengyao heard this, she bit her lips hesitantly, and finally replied expressionlessly: "I know, but don't worry, it won't be too long in the future. If I can't kill you, I'd rather commit suicide directly than kill you." Will be at your mercy."

After Zhou Xuan heard this, he curled his lips coldly, and then answered her in a rhetorical tone: "Really? Mengyao didn't expect that although you are smart, you have forgotten who I am."

"Zhou Xuan, what do you mean?" An ominous premonition flashed in Mengyao's heart.

After hearing this, Zhou Xuan curled his lips with a gloomy expression, but he didn't answer her question, but just said to her indifferently: "Meng Yao, it's getting late, I won't disturb your rest."

"What?" Mengyao asked Zhou Xuan palely, as if hoping to hear something from him.

But Zhou Xuan didn't satisfy her thoughts, but turned around and left the room, and closed the door smoothly.

So at this moment, in the picture of the huge room, only Mengyao herself and those old and gloomy furniture are left.

Looking at the locked wooden door and the dangling oil lamp on the wall beside the door, Mengyao felt mixed feelings.

She just stood there in a daze for several minutes before she fully accepted this reality and shifted her gaze back to the real space.

Out of inertia, she turned her head to look at the decoration of the room first.

She took a closer look, only to find that although the furniture here was old, the facilities were still fairly complete.

Mengyao didn't think too much, and walked directly to the old-fashioned big bed, intending to rest on the bed before thinking about other things.

When she walked to the bed, she could vaguely see a lot of dust on the bed by the dim light. It seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

Mengyao had no choice but to reach out and stroke the dust on the bed, trying to make the bed cleaner.

But she found that the dust on the bed was too thick, even if she stretched her hands back and forth several times, the bed was still dirty.

In the end, she felt tired for a while, and she didn't want to continue cleaning up the bed. Instead, she lay on her stomach, turned around, and looked up at the dark ceiling.

What the hell is this place?

Who is that screaming woman?

What did Zhou Xuan mean just now, if she is disobedient, she will end up like that woman?

……

A series of questions were deeply suppressed in the center of her mind, making it difficult for her to breathe at this moment.

Perhaps because there are too many things, it is always difficult for her to sort out all the clues.

But her own thinking was gradually captured by exhaustion and sleepiness, turning into drowsiness, suppressing her pale eyes.

……

Just like that, she had been at Zhou Xuan's house for a month before she knew it.

What a long month.

Mengyao stood by the window of her room, looking thoughtfully at the gloomy weather outside the window.

In the past month, Zhou Xuan has indeed kept his promise, and has never done anything that crossed the line with her. He just asked her to accompany him to eat every day, and as for the rest of the time, he left it to her own control.

To be honest, if it weren't for the irresolvable hatred between her and Zhou Xuan, maybe she would really fall in love with this kind of happy time when she has no worries about food and clothing and leisure every day.

But now, Zhou Xuan is her mother-killing enemy. She accepts Zhou Xuan's favor every day and lives a leisurely life here. Such a life makes her feel like a waste all the time!

Even when she was free, she couldn't help but hug her knees and cry bitterly, or slap herself twice to vent.

It's not that she didn't think about poisoning Zhou Xuan in order to avenge her mother.

But every time, Zhou Xuan could almost see through her plan completely.

But despite this, Zhou Xuan never punished her, but just silently dumped the poisoned food.

But could she forgive Zhou Xuan and thank Zhou Xuan?

How can it be?

When Mengyao thought of this, a bitter smile appeared on her mouth unconsciously.

She closed her eyes, and gradually fell into complicated thoughts in her mind.

Since it is not feasible for her to poison Zhou Xuan to death, does that mean that she should carry out the original plan.

suicide?

Looking at it now, suicide is probably the only way for her to preserve her dignity.

Since she can't harm Zhou Xuan, it's impossible for her to stay by Zhou Xuan's side just to survive.

From this point of view, suicide is undoubtedly a complete relief for her.

……

Mengyao just thought about it in her mind for several minutes, and finally opened her eyes suddenly as if she had made up her mind, and the eyes were full of firmness.

She turned her head and glanced in the direction of the door, lowered her head and bit her lips hesitantly, and finally walked over.

After she walked to the door, she opened it casually, intending to go to the kitchen to find the poisonous food that Zhou Xuan dumped yesterday, or find a knife or something to end her own life.

After she walked out, she habitually looked around the corridor, and after confirming that Zhou Xuan was not here, she continued to walk towards the living room and kitchen.

But when she walked along the gloomy corridor and was about to reach the living room, she suddenly heard that woman's shrill cry again halfway along the corridor!

"ah------"

After Mengyao heard it, her body froze suddenly, and she froze in place.

In fact, she had heard this woman's scream many times.

Sometimes it is strong and sometimes weak, but the only thing that remains the same is that the voice is always mournful, as if it is enduring a very painful torture.

She also once asked Zhou Xuan who was in it, but every time Zhou Xuan just changed the subject directly and never answered her question about this woman directly.

The only thing she heard Zhou Xuan talk about was that woman.

"Mind your own business."

Ever since she moved into Zhou Xuan's house, all she could think about every day was how to avenge her mother, so even though she was curious about this woman's life experience, she never really paid attention to it.

But now, the reason why she really stopped for this woman was because of it.

She is planning to die, why not open the door and see who that woman is?

If it's an innocent girl, she can save her before she dies, and if she's not, it's like watching one last great movie before she dies.

When Mengyao thought of this level, her body trembled unconsciously, but in the end she couldn't help being driven by curiosity, and walked towards the door, and stretched out trembling fingers, holding the handle of the door, Going to open the door.
