CEO Overlord Love: Contract Lover

The purple-red fireworks are dazzling, and the burning tip of the flame sometimes breaks through the sky, dyeing the sky with layers of bright red and misty smoke.

The thick smoke spread out like a layer of fiery red dusk, like the last ray of sunlight from a flickering sunset shining on the earth, condensing in the air for a long time, making people sigh and mourn.

Is it all over like that?

Mengyao stood in the alley of the manor tens of meters outside the villa, looking at the ancient house surrounded by raging fire.

Everything was like a dream, real and false, only a few fragments remained, constantly circling in her mind.

She only remembered that at that time she took the bottle of medicine to give to the woman, but suddenly Zhou Xuan came in.

Zhou Xuan seemed very angry, and directly threw the bottle of medicine that had been snatched from her hand, and threw it on the ground.

Just when she thought she was doomed, suddenly a fire broke out in the room.

The thick smoke made it difficult for her to breathe, and even her vision became somewhat blurred.

She just remembered that the woman said to her in a roaring voice: "Remember the promise you made to me!"

......

She was very scared at that time, but subconsciously wanted to escape from the scene of the fire, but when she was about to escape, she suddenly heard a baby crying.

Gradually, she realized that the fire in the room must have been lit by that woman. The woman wanted to die with Zhou Xuan and wanted her to take the child away.

In an instant, thoughts of gratitude and pity filled all her thoughts, and she indeed walked up to the child at the critical moment, picked up the child, and ran out with her.

......

Because such a scene was too terrifying, she didn't quite remember what happened.

She just remembered that when she ran away from the old house with the child in her arms, she heard the woman's wanton laughter, accompanied by the scorching fire, coiled in the old house.

......

Mengyao closed her eyes tightly, her complexion was pale, and her eye sockets were inexplicably soaked.

Zhou Xuan, is he dead?

It's not that she didn't want Zhou Xuan to die, but one day, when Zhou Xuan really died in front of her, she still felt a little bit of feeling and regret inexplicably in her heart.

But that's probably the best result, whether it's for her or for this innocent child.

When Mengyao thought of the child, a flash of sympathy suddenly flashed in her heart. She slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the child in her arms.

The room just now was completely dark, so she didn't see the child clearly at all.

She looked down, only to realize that it was not actually a baby, at least seven or eight months old, and she was looking at her with wide eyes, but her expression was quiet and peaceful.

That's right, this child has been kept in that kind of place by Zhou Xuan from birth to today, how could he still be lively?

......

Mengyao just looked down at the child for several minutes, feeling mixed in her heart.

She was stunned, and couldn't help but gently reached out to stroke her hair, and the child smiled at her as if he could feel her movements.

Mengyao smiled at her, then continued to look up at the ancient house burning in the flames.

It's not that she doesn't want to leave this place right away, but that she still has many reasons to stay here.

For example, she must find a way to get out of here, and she must have enough food, otherwise she and the child will just starve to death in this foggy forest.

Mengyao just stood outside with the child in her arms and watched the old house burn, planning to wait until the old house was completely burnt down, and then go in to see if there is anything worth using.

After more than two hours like that, the fire in the old house gradually began to go out, but the temperature in the old house was probably still very high at the moment, there might be residual fire, so she didn't dare to take risks.

Seeing that she couldn't go in at the moment, Mengyao had no choice but to do other meaningful things first, so as not to waste time.

She hugged the child and walked along the track and field path of the old manor, planning to find some food and the like.

Fortunately, that child was really well-behaved. Even though she stumbled along the way, and once accidentally dropped the child to the ground, she still didn't cry.

Mengyao patted the child's forehead in relief, then hugged her tighter again, and continued walking.

She has lived here for more than a month, so she is quite familiar with the terrain of the old house, and also knows that there is a wild orchard in the west, where some vegetables and fruits are planted.

Mengyao walked there with the child in her arms, and after more than ten minutes, she finally reached the orchard.

Fortunately, the basket she put in the orchard last time has not been taken away, so she can pick a lot of fruit with that basket.

Mengyao was afraid of wasting time, so she directly put the child on the ground, and went down to pick some vegetables and fruits.

Five or six minutes later, she returned to the child with a basket of vegetables and fruits, then picked up the child with one hand, and held the basket of vegetables with the other.

By the time she returned to the old house, the fire had been completely extinguished.

Mengyao reached out and touched the walls and gates of the ancient house, and after making sure that these things were not hot, she decided to go in to find something.

She placed the child and the basket of vegetables by the gate of the old house, and then walked in by herself.

Due to the fire, many of the walls were burnt out, so the old house is no longer as dark as it used to be.

Mengyao walked to that woman's room according to her memory, wanting to see if she could find any clues.

A kind of subconsciousness told her that the reason why the woman told her so confidently to let her take the child away meant that the woman would definitely tell her how to get out of here.

Mengyao was thinking like that, and before she knew it, she had already arrived at the door of that woman's room.

The ancient door had also been burned, so she could see what was inside without opening it.

What caught her eyes were two sets of blackened white bones.

......

Mengyao froze for a moment, an instinctive feeling of disgust arose spontaneously, but now she couldn't care less about that, so she could only bite the bullet and walk in, hoping to see if she could find any clues.

After she walked in, she looked around, only to find that there was nothing conspicuous left here.

The only thing that was different was the bottle of medicine that Zhou Xuan threw on the ground.

She walked over quickly, picked it up, and looked at it carefully.

Only to find that it was not filled with medicine powder at all, but a piece of paper!

Seeing this, Mengyao woke up like a dream, and realized that all this was a trick set by that woman!

In fact, there is no medicine in this world that will kill you if you smell it, it's just that the woman wanted to lure Zhou Xuan in so that she could set fire to Zhou Xuan and die with him!

Mengyao was not in the mood to think about the grievances between that woman and Zhou Xuan at the moment, she quickly opened the bottle, and then poured out the small note inside, wanting to see what was written on it.

When the note fell completely into her hands, Mengyao pulled the note open.

She looked at it, only to find that the drawing on the note turned out to be a map. Although the note was only the size of a palm, the main scenery and exits inside were clearly visible!
