Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the two left on time.

Lin Wu looked down at her clothes; it was a newly released haute couture gown, all white.

She hadn't worn such a beautiful dress in a long time.

Things that were once taken for granted are now surprisingly appreciated.

She sighed softly and began to wonder where Ms. Jiang might be now.

Although the debt is still outstanding, the creditor has changed from those few desperados to Xu Jingwang, so the situation is different.

At least this person won't harm her or force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.

There is room for everything to be mitigated.

Since seeing Ms. Jiang for the last time at the group's building, she has been cautiously asking around and only knows that she has been locked up in a mental hospital.

But she had no idea where the mental hospital where Ms. Jiang was being held was.

After all, mental hospitals are everywhere, in every city, and there are countless of them.

Given Lin Qingyuan's utterly depraved nature, he might even be imprisoned abroad.

She was completely absorbed in her own thoughts and didn't notice that the person next to her had been staring at her for a long time.

To be honest, Xu Jingwang had been looking for her for almost half a year.

If someone wants to hide away, staying in a small house all day long without going out, even the most powerful person can't do anything about it.

After so long, she was actually no different from the pristine young lady Xu Jingwang remembered.

When I'm thinking, my fingers always tend to fiddle with my pants.

He remained silent for a moment, then took a box from the storage cabinet next to him and handed it to Lin Wu.

"Give."

A single, soft word interrupted Lin Wu's thoughts.

She turned her head and glanced at it. It was a rectangular box, very thin, like a watch box or a bracelet/necklace box.

"...For me?" She paused for a moment.

"right."

Xu Jing thought for a moment, "It was a gift from a previous business partner. My mother is too old to wear it, so it's been sitting unused."

Lin Wu: "..."

Even a fool wouldn't believe that.

What kind of idiot would a business partner be to give a gift that doesn't even suit the recipient's taste, giving a man a woman's item?

But since he had already come up with such a lame excuse, Lin Wu naturally wouldn't expose him.

She took it and opened it to find a watch with a chain strap. The silver strap shimmered, and from a distance, it looked like a simple bracelet. Only upon closer inspection did she notice a small watch face in the center.

The dial has only four numbers, designed to resemble the dazzling stars of the Milky Way.

It's really nice.

"So beautiful."

Lin Wu couldn't help but say.

"I'm glad you like it." Xu Jingwang watched her put it on her wrist before slowly looking away.

The car drove quietly all the way, then suddenly turned a corner and slowed down.

Lin Wu looked out the window.

The car was driving towards a manor, where ancient trees provided ample shade, and fragrant roses lined both sides of the road.

"Is this Rose Garden?" she asked, pausing for a moment.

"Yes," Xu Jingwang replied, lightly tapping the armrest with his knuckles.

He really didn't understand.

I've always heard that the owner of Rose Garden has a bad temper and is unpredictable. He's almost fifty and still unmarried. On the contrary, all the subordinates and servants in Rose Garden are men, each with their own unique appearance, but none of them are ugly.

Everyone knows that Rose Garden is located in a secluded place and is closed to the public all year round, preventing anyone from entering.

This time, Song Zhi actually made a special trip to invite him.

Xu Jingwang refused four times in a row, each time having his secretary find a legitimate reason to brush it off.

Normal people, and logically speaking, people with emotional intelligence, would understand what he meant.

However, Song Zhi insisted on it.

Reject once, then send another invitation.

Until this time, the other party extended an invitation while also offering a cooperation opportunity.

The offer was very tempting, and Xu Jingwang agreed after thinking about it for two days.

He didn't expect the other party to say they would meet at the Rose Garden.

The reason given was that he has social anxiety and feels uncomfortable being outside.

"I've never been here before," Lin Wu said, rolling down the car window and peering out.

Following the instructions of the security guard at the entrance, the driver drove all the way to the main building.

Two people were standing in front of the main building. One was dressed in a suit and white gloves, with gold-rimmed glasses and a chain, looking very refined. The other was dressed more casually, in a simple jacket and jeans, and looked younger.

The driver was just about to get out of the car and open the door.

The one in jeans had already eagerly come over and opened the car door.

As soon as the car door opened, he greeted the man with a broad smile, "Young Master."

Xu Jingwang: "..."

"Pah!" He suddenly raised his hand and slapped his mouth. "I misspoke, Mr. Xu. It's nice to meet you."

Xu Jingwang: "…………"

He fell even more silent.

Lin Wu was also stunned.

She scratched her cheek, staring at the jeans for a few more seconds. Her intelligence was unknown, but she was quite pretty, with cute little tiger teeth and a sunny smile.

Could he really be a male concubine kept by her side?

Otherwise, why would I keep such a simpleton by my side?

Fortunately, the butler came to the rescue in time, saying, "Mr. Xu, this way please. Our General Manager Song has been waiting inside for quite some time."

The two followed behind the butler.

Lin Wu asked quietly, "Is there anything I need to do later?"

"You don't need to do anything."

She was so close, the delicate fragrance of her hair clearly lingered around Xu Jingwang.

You can smell it with every breath.

He lowered his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed, and said, "If he has a mental breakdown later, remember to protect me and call the police for me."

The task is of great importance.

Lin Wu nodded seriously, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Okay." A slight smile played on his lips for a moment.

The smile was as faint as a wisp of smoke.

I dared not linger, for fear of being discovered.

He lowered his head, his gaze lingering on the girl's wrist for a few seconds.

The silver chain was dazzling, and her fair skin made her wrists appear exceptionally slender.

A person was sitting on the sofa on the first floor, with their back to the door.

The room was very warm, and he was wearing a white shirt with thick, black hair.

The butler announced, "Master, Mr. Xu has arrived."

Upon hearing this title, Lin Wu's eyes widened involuntarily.

Her gaze toward the person on the sofa grew increasingly strange.

Until the person slowly turned around.

A strikingly beautiful face appeared before my eyes.

Lin Wu was stunned without realizing it.

The man's face looked gloomy and dejected. He had just roughly put on his shirt, and his well-defined abdominal muscles were faintly visible. His body fat percentage was obviously very low, indicating that he had been working out for many years.

She only knew that the owner of the Rose Garden was handsome and that he and her father didn't get along when they were young, and that they seemed to have homosexual tendencies.

These are all topics of conversation over tea and after meals, and who knows how many people have embellished them.

Lin Wu listened to it, but didn't believe it.

Only now did she realize that the rumors were true.

He's really handsome.

It can truly be called beauty, a beauty that transcends gender.

Every feature of her face is exquisite.
