The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

Shi Xiao walked in.

Yuan Shu's room has been renovated. The placement of various things has changed, and some new things have been added. It is completely different from the previous luxurious European-style room. It is now more simple and plain.

This bedroom is very large and can be considered a suite. In the innermost room, there is a bed and a bookshelf at the head of the bed, which serves as a screen.

There are some Chinese-style furniture in the outhouse.

A set of tea sets was placed by the window, and the matching square chair was replaced with a wooden rocking chair covered with cushions. A half-opened book "A General History of the World" was placed upside down on the chair, with a pen next to the book. It seemed that Yuan Shu had the habit of taking notes while reading with a pen.

Behind the rocking chair is a desk. The desk is clean and tidy, and there is even a calligraphy book on it. In the upper right corner of the desk is a thick stack of copy paper, and on the left is old paper as thick as a book.

Shi Xiao looked around the room and then sat down opposite the rocking chair.

Only then did he see a small bookmark next to the tea set. On the bookmark was written a sentence in beautiful seal script: "The light boat has passed through thousands of mountains."

Shi Xiao couldn't help but think of the man he met yesterday—Mu Zhou.

Shi Xiao was looking at the bookmark when Yuan Shu came over. She picked up the bookmark and placed it on the "World History" which was lying upside down on the rocking chair. Then she closed the book and put it on the desk behind her. Yuan Shu then returned to the rocking chair and sat down gracefully.

There was a wooden bar under the rocking chair, which was not stable to begin with. Yuan Shu was only sitting on the edge of the rocking chair, which should have made it even more unstable. However, after she sat down, she did not move at all, and did not even shake.

At this time, Li Yue knocked on the door and said, "Madam, the water is ready."

"Bring it in."

Li Yue opened the door and came in. She found Shi Xiao was there too. She greeted him quickly, put some water on the electric stove next to the coffee table, and went out.

The moment the door was closed, Li Yue thought that the relationship between the young master and the young mistress was getting better and better.

Yuan Shu put some tea leaves into the cup with a bamboo clip, then covered the cup with a lid and slowly poured spring water from a transparent kettle into the cup. The boiling water seeped into the cup through the gap in the lid, and steam rose.

Yuan Shu put the teapot on the electric stove. After turning on the stove, the spring water in the transparent pot began to boil again. The sound of rain outside the window and the sound of the boiling water in the pot intertwined. The two of them remained silent.

After about thirty seconds, Yuan Shu poured the cup of tea into the teapot and brewed the tea according to the previous steps.

Another minute later, Yuan Shu poured the tea into two very light jade teacups.

Yuan Shu pushed a teacup in front of Shi Xiao and motioned for him to take it. "Please use it."

Shi Xiao glanced at Yuan Shu. Li Ci originally said that Yuan Shu liked to drink tea, and he thought she only knew a little bit about it. He didn't expect that she was so good at making tea. Shi Xiao admired her again.

Shi Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was sweet and fragrant, and the aroma lingered deep in his throat. A different aroma spread in his mouth every second.

Shi Xiao was a little surprised to taste such delicious tea, but after looking at the furnishings in the room, he felt that it was reasonable.

With a hint of contempt in his tone, he asked coldly, "Do you usually just read books and practice calligraphy in your room?"

Yuan Shu calmly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "These two things alone took a lot of time."

Shi Xiao was a little at a loss for a moment. He almost forgot that the current Yuan Shu was no longer the Yuan Shu from two months ago. No wonder even a picky person like Li Ci would show admiration when mentioning Yuan Shu.

Shi Xiao put away his indifferent attitude and said in a deep voice: "In the two months that I was away, Zhao Mian has told me thank you for supporting this family and protecting Yuan'an."

Yuan Shu said calmly: "I just did what I should do in my current position."

"What is your current identity?" Shi Xiao smiled and asked curiously, "Why do you want to emphasize your current identity?"

Yuan Shu's tone was cold, even a little heartless: "We are just cooperating. This relationship will end sooner or later."

Shi Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What if this relationship doesn't end?"

Yuan Shu said firmly, looking directly into Shi Xiao's eyes: "No."

Shi Xiao didn't understand where she was so sure. Even if they wanted to end this relationship, they both had to agree. How could she be so sure that he would let her go?

Shi Xiao was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang.

It was Zhao Cheng who called, his tone was very anxious, "Master, there is bad news! Miss Liu Lan suddenly fainted and was sent to a private hospital."

Shi Xiao couldn't help but frown when he heard that. The rain was getting lighter and lighter, and the house was very quiet. He could hear every word Yuan Shu said clearly.

She glanced at Shi Xiao calmly and said, "Go quickly."

Shi Xiao frowned even deeper. He was very sure that when Yuan Shu heard the name Liu Lan, she was not surprised at all, nor was she curious about who this person was. Her reaction was a little too calm.

For some reason, when he looked at Yuan Shu at this moment, he felt as if she was looking down at the whole situation with omniscience, just like watching a TV series whose plot he knew, or like a book that he had already finished reading.

This feeling made Shi Xiao very uncomfortable.

Shi Xiao glanced at Yuan Shu who was quietly brewing his second pot of tea, then slowly picked up the book "A General History of the World" and prepared to continue reading.

Shi Xiao suddenly had an idea and said to her with a smile: "Come with me."

Yuan Shu looked at him puzzledly.

He wanted to see Liu Lanxi, why did he bring her here?

Yuan Shu remembered very clearly that in the original novel, Shi Xiao divorced Yuan Shu because of Liu Lan, which made Yuan Shu very sad, so much so that he did some extreme things.

Now that Yuan Shu asked him to meet Liu Lan and didn't interfere, why should he drag her into it?

Yuan Shu really didn't understand Shi Xiao's behavior.

She was still sitting on the edge of the rocking chair, but the chair didn't shake at all. Yuan Shu put the book on her knees, opened it calmly and said, "I'm not going."

Shi Xiao had already guessed that she would say that, so he asked, "Aren't you curious about who Liu Lan is? Or, have you known about her existence for a long time?"

Yuan Shu suddenly stopped flipping through the book. The first question was easy to answer, as Yuan Shu was not a person who was curious about everything. However, the second question was full of danger.

If Yuan Shu had known about Liu Lan's existence for a long time, how could she explain that she knew about the existence of someone who had just returned to China and was secretly protected by Shi Xiao?

Should Yuan Shu tell him directly, "Not only do I know who Liu Lan is, I also know what happened between you two, and I know you will divorce me for her?"

Then it is estimated that Liu Lan is not the only one in the hospital today. Shi Xiao will also send Yuan Shu to a mental hospital immediately.

Yuan Shu thought about it carefully and finally came up with a suitable answer. She looked up at Shi Xiao and asked, "Do you want me to be curious?"

Yuan Shu threw the question to Shi Xiao. The rope was already taut. If both sides exerted more force, the rope would break.

Shi Xiao was stunned. Why did this question sound like the one was afraid of being discovered?
