4 Home Sweet Home

[POV Bai Chang]

The car came to a stop; I was awakened from my reveries. Li Jie stepped down and opens the car doors for me; so very gentlemanly.

I stepped out and looked around me, we were in a private Upstate Residency Area, where it just has a few Villas and only endless natures beauty, this place is guarded on its north with small mountains and there are few water bodies like small lakes and ponds; the vegetation gives the air a taste of wood and green leaves.

Even before entering the place, I seem to like this place, so far so good, we entered the villa through a wrought iron gate, it has a medieval design looking straight out of mediaeval European movies, there are large lush green lawns, a very obscure orchard and quaint Neo-European style house with the outside having concrete and stones placed in strange harmony, from looks you would know, the architect inputted his ideas while taking inspiration from the location itself.

It's beautiful. I felt it was like Christmas or New Year, someone sending you presents that you want to cherish for a long time. I decided I would explore the Villa little by little and conquer it piece by piece.

Li Jie walked in front of me all the time, walking me through the property, we arrived inside the house, it would become my home soon. Li Jie turned around and faced me,

"Young lady, this place security is good and the surrounding is good for your recuperation your bedroom is on the third floor. We will meet again tomorrow."

"Thank you, Brother Li Jie, you do take rest, while you come tomorrow could you please bring the accounts for the estates and trust funds? I need to review the details to plan better."

"Young lady" Li Jie politely smiled and left me alone to explore the place first.

I need to go to the washroom, hell hospitals are no fun and taking a nice warm bath is the epic level relaxation you can ask for, I went upstairs and prepared a beautiful bath for me; how thoughtful of Li Jie there are bathroom accessories all neatly arranged in the cupboard all new and smelling good it's time to relax my nerves.

[POV Li Jie]

After leaving the Villa unit one, Li Jie went straight to Villa unit four which was the neighbouring Villa to Villa unit one. He passed through the gates and went straight to the first to the study room, which is used by Hu Qiang as his office was staying at home. He knocked on the door of the study and only after hearing a light response enters the room.

"Good Afternoon Sir, we have transferred madam to Villa 1."

"Anything else?"

"Sir, madam asked for all the account books relating to estate and trust funds to be handed to her tomorrow for reviewing."

"Okay give it to her."

"Sir, how to respond to any of her queries?"

"You are a smart person, answer accordingly."

"Yes Sir"

"Li Jie, stay with her as her assistant from today onwards, see that nothing happens to her."

Li Jie was stunned for a moment, " Yes sir" he replied, he was emotional, it must be known that before serving the Hu Corporations, he was the legal custodian to Bai Chang, he practically raised her and treated her as his own.

He was satisfied to return to his Young ladies' side, to be her umbrella and her safety net when she needs it. There was gratitude in his eyes as he looked towards the man in front of him, Li Jie politely nodded and left the study.

While Hu Qiang thought to himself 'this time I will be your Shield and your armour without chinks so that you can live the way you want to live without dealing with troubles from the past.'

While Bai Chang finished her shower and stood in front of the full-length mirror, what reflected was a young girl in her twenties, height 5.7 feet, long graceful limbs, Swan neck and eyes dark brown; holding mysteries within and inviting others to come and try to explore. Her hairs were waist length and beautiful like silk threads, the body complexion was fair; if she dressed right she can steal a few hearts just by walking by the road.

She was dressed in a very simple bold yellow colour floral Maxi dress and it gave her image of the sunflower and untouched by the world it looks good after self-admiring and feeding herself with a healthy dose of female vanity she started exploring the Villa building itself.

This place was big but not cluttered, on the ground floor there was a large living room as well as the drawing-room; outdoor room facing the pool and small garden. The first floor had an open kitchen and dining place with two guestrooms to the opposite side with attached washrooms. In the third floor there was only a master bedroom with attached washroom and big Study room the size of half a ballroom with all types of books and a classic European table chair set up, there is a couch in the room. On the third floor, all windows were made up of glass, floor-to-ceiling length overlooking various picturesque spots of the Villa but after all the exploration I soon realised something which is in this place there are no memories of this place in Bai Changs' head and neither is there any belongings related to her, it turns out my sweet home is after all not so sweet home for Bai Chang.

Never mind after all a new beginning could be started from a new place too and admitting it truthfully this place is just the right place for me. As I fell in love with this place so it will become my 'Home Sweet Home'.
