Rebirth

Dong, dong dong!

"Miss Liu, I'm Lan Lan. I'm here to bring you breakfast."

A petite person was nestled on the soft bed in the room. She frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied by the noise outside. After a few knocks on the door, the person on the bed finally woke up.

Opening her sleepy eyes, she saw the mushroom lamp on the bedside table. A white rabbit holding a carrot was squatting under the mushroom!

Was she dreaming?

"Miss Liu? Are you awake? Can I come in?"

The crisp and gentle voice outside the door completely pulled Liu Qi into reality. The voice seemed to be Lan Lan, and this was... Shen Nanxiao's villa!

Liu Qi woke up almost immediately. She suddenly lifted the quilt and was wearing the white rabbit-eared pajamas. She quickly picked up the phone on the bedside table.

Could it be that Shen Nanxiao had brought her back to the Shen Family? She opened the phone and saw the time and date.

July 20, 2019.

2019? I went back three years ago!

The memories of the past came flooding back. Liu Qi remembered that at this time, she was forced to come to the Shen Family by her parents in order to get along well with Shen Nanxiao, who she was engaged to!

At that time, she despised Shen Nanxiao very much, and even hated him! After coming to this villa, she locked herself up. Shen Nanxiao knew that she hated him, so he never came to disturb her.

"Miss Liu? I'm Lan Lan. Can I come in?" Lan Lan patiently knocked on the door, repeating it over and over again. It was almost like this every day. Since Liu Qi came, this seemed to have become her daily work.

She was still being called outside. Liu Qi got out of bed and ran to open the door, barefoot!

Lan Lan saw her outside the door. Her beautiful and gentle face carried a hint of a smile. Lan Lan was wearing a uniform light green short-sleeved shirt and a pair of gray wide-legged pants. She looked quite amiable.

"Good morning, Miss Liu."

Lan Lan always smiled at her with curved eyebrows and eyes. Liu Qi liked this girl from the bottom of her heart. Perhaps it was because of Shen Nanxiao that Lan Lan took such good care of her.

"Good Morning." Liu Qi smiled at Lan Lan. Her smile was a little bitter. She did not know how long it had been since she last smiled. She was actually not used to it.

Lan Lan, who was holding a bowl of wonton, was a little surprised. Even her smile froze. Liu Qi almost never gave her a good look, let alone greeting her. It really shocked and surprised her.

Through Lan Lan, Liu Qi saw the mahogany railing behind Lan Lan. She bit the corner of her mouth and exhaled as if she was making a decision.

As if she was mentally prepared, she walked past Lan Lan and deliberately came to the edge of the mahogany railing. She grabbed the railing and looked down. As expected, Shen Nanxiao was sitting on the sofa.

He was dressed in a black high-cut suit with no wrinkles. His slender legs were folded together. He held a cup of coffee in his left hand and was flipping through something on his laptop with his right hand.

At this moment, Shen Nanxiao felt that something was off. He felt that a pair of burning eyes were looking at him. When he raised his head to look in that direction, the two of them met each other's eyes.

On Shen Nanxiao's handsome face, his facial features were sharp, and his lines were distinct. Under his dashing eyebrows, a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars were as deep as a cold pond.

"Morning, you're up." There was no expression on Shen Nanxiao's face, only an indifferent look. He greeted Liu Qi, and his voice was a little low and hoarse, sounding husky.

At this moment, Liu Qi could not hold it in anymore. She let go of the railing with both hands, and when she turned her head, the ends of her hair scattered and formed an arc. She ran towards the mahogany staircase, and the sound of her running down the stairs could be heard. One could imagine how anxious she was.

Liu Qi's heart was beating very fast, and she could not wait to get close to him.

Shen Nanxiao, who was sitting on the leather sofa, moved his eyebrows, and even his pupils dilated a little. He put down the cup and quickly stood up. He took three steps and arrived at the stairway. Liu Qi rushed at Shen Nanxiao just like that, bumping into his firm chest.

When she smelled that familiar elegant lotus fragrance, Liu Qi's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes. They were like lingering threads, wrapping around the person in front of her.

In the past, how blind had she had to be to treat Shen Nanxiao's kindness with indifference, and hurt him so much because of that.

Liu Qi's pair of crystal-clear, tearful peach blossom-shaped almond eyes, and even her rosy little mouth, had pouted. Her appearance was both cute and pitiful. Shen Nanxiao's heart seemed to have been grabbed by something. He was surprised, worried, and somewhat at a loss.

"You, why are you crying?" Shen Nanxiao subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch the little girl's head, but he paused in midair and immediately withdrew his hand.

"Sob..."

The little girl in his arms did not say anything. Her face was buried in his chest, and the more she cried, the fiercer it became. A pair of small hands wrapped around his waist, refusing to let go. It was as if she had let go, he would run away.

I'm sorry... I'm sorry...

This was the only sentence in Liu Qi's heart. She repeated it countless times in her heart, but she felt that no matter how many times she said it, she could not make up for it.

Everyone in the room saw this sight, especially Butler Liu and Lan Lan. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. Could it be that Miss Liu had changed her personality? In the past, she had despised the Young Master each time she saw him, but today, she actually took the initiative to hug him!

The more Liu Qi was like this, the more panicked Shen Nanxiao became. His slender, white, and well-defined large hand gently patted the back of the person in his arms. When he looked down, he saw that she was not wearing shoes, and her pair of white feet with a hint of peach-red was standing on the cold marble floor.

Although it was midsummer, the air conditioner was on in the room, so it was inevitable that the floor would feel a little cold. Shen Nanxiao could only pick her up. His chin could feel the warmth above Liu Qi's head, and her black hair was as soft as silk.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Shen Nanxiao's voice was obviously much gentler.

"Sob, sob..." Liu Qi hugged Shen Nanxiao's neck and sobbed. She wanted to say everything, but she had too much to say, so she did not know where to start.

Shen Nanxiao saw that she did not speak and only cried. He did not ask further. He only quietly stroked her back.

Liu Qi cried so badly that she lacked oxygen, she directly rubbed her tears against the man's neck. From the corner of her eye, she saw that everyone was staring at them; they were all like rubberneckers. There was a hint of a smile in their eyes.

Liu Qi was a little embarrassed. Suddenly! She remembered something, and the light sniffling stopped abruptly! Today is July 20th! In other words... it was the day her parents got into a car accident!

"Shen Nanxiao, can you take me home? Can you take me home?" Liu Qi poked her head out from Shen Nanxiao's neck. Her face was wet from crying, and even the tip of her nose was red. She stared at Shen Nanxiao with pleading eyes.

So... she just wanted to leave.

Shen Nanxiao's deep eyes dimmed. He glanced away, no longer looking at the person who had hurt his heart. He only nodded slightly, and there was no emotion in his tone. "Okay! I'll send you home. Put on your shoes first."

A wave of heat came at Liu Qi once she went out the door, and a layer of thin sweat immediately appeared on her forehead. She did not tidy up. She was still wearing the silk bunny pajamas and two pink bunny ears slippers. She was in a hurry to go back; she was afraid that she would not be able to make it in time.

Along the way, Liu Qi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was picking at her fingernails. She looked nervous and anxious.

Shen Nanxiao saw all of this. He thought that perhaps he should not use the engagement to bind her. Perhaps she would have been happy if the engagement had been broken off, but... he was a little reluctant to part with it.
