C53 Chu Luo Stay with Me
Chu Luo was sick and stayed in the hospital to recuperate for a few days. When Old Madam Chu found out, she came to the ward to visit personally.
Nanny Wu pushed Old Madam Chu in. "Luo, I heard that you've gotten sick. Are you feeling better now?"
The old lady was sitting in a wheelchair as she asked Chu Luo with a serious expression.
Seeing Old Madam Chu's question, she said, "I'm fine. Grandma, you don't have to worry."
Old Madam Chu felt Chu Luo's strangeness and narrowed her eyes at her. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Looking at Chu Luo's expression, it seemed that something had happened.
Chu Luo snapped out of her daze after hearing her question. She forced a smile and said, "No, Grandmother, I'm just too tired recently. You don't have to worry."
"Is it about the company?" Old Madam Chu pretended not to see it.
Chu Luo nodded and didn't say anything else.
Old Madam Chu saw through the nagging, but she didn't press Chu Luo. She just said, "I already know about the family's matters. You did well. Luo, grandma only has you now."
Old Madam Chu held Chu Luo's hand. She was reminding Chu Luo not to forget her mission.
Chu Luo's heart ached as she looked at the old lady and the hope in her eyes. Recently, she had been feeling very down because of Annan.
Even the documents that Mu Yanling had sent over were not in the mood to be processed.
"Luo, you have to understand that only power can help you find everything you want."
Chu Luowei lowered her head and asked, "Grandma, can I really find what I want?" She believed that Annan wasn't dead.
Old Madam Chu nodded. "Luo, why would Grandmother lie to you? Take good care of your illness. Grandmother believes in you."
Chu Luo's heart was moved as she forced her tears back into her eyes. Without Annan, she still had family. She could not afford to let go.
What if even she gave up on Annan's whereabouts?
No, she would not give up. She would pull herself together.
With that thought in mind, Chu Luo smiled and said, "Yes, Grandmother. Don't worry, I will take good care of my illness." Using his Chu Group's status, he secretly searched for Fu Annan.
Hearing Chu Luo's words, Old Madam Chu finally calmed down.
After leaving the ward, the benevolence on Old Madam Chu's face vanished. She instructed Nanny Wu, "Tell that person to secretly monitor Chu Luo's movements. Also, investigate what happened to Chu Luo recently."
Something must have happened to her expression.
"Yes, madame."
After Chu Luo's illness had recovered, it was sent back to the Blue Garden. When Antie Lee heard that Chu Luo had returned, she immediately came out of the villa to greet her. "Madam, you're finally back."
Chu Luo smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I'm back."
Antie Lee supported her in. The villa was very quiet, without even servants.
Chu Luo frowned and asked Antie Lee, "Why is the villa so quiet?"
Antie Lee brought some hot water and said, "Young Master said that Madam has just recovered from a serious illness and needs some rest, so I let them go down first."
Chu Luo's heart trembled upon hearing Antie Lee's words. Her eyes flickered with a faint trace of sadness. Bei Muchen …
Seeing that Chu Luo seemed a little tired, Antie Lee brought her upstairs to rest. While covering Chu Luo with a blanket, she said, "Madam, Young Master heard that Madam is coming back today and specifically told me to take good care of Madam."
Antie Lee smiled benevolently as she prepared everything for her. "Mistress should rest well. If there's anything, just call me."
Chu Luo nodded. "I understand. Thank you, Antie Lee."
Seeing this, Antie Lee went out. After Antie Lee left, Chu Luo did not sleep. She got off the bed and stood in front of the window, looking around the forest with a heavy heart.
Chu Luo didn't know how long she had been standing there. She felt that her whole body had turned cold and wanted to go inside to put on some clothes. Outside, Antie Lee shouted, "Madam, Young Master is back."
When he went downstairs, Bei Muchen was in the living room. He was wearing a dark blue suit, and his thin side face revealed a sharp light.
His broad back appeared solemn and lonely.
"You're back." Chu Luo spoke softly, her voice faint, making it difficult for anyone to see her emotions.
Bei Muchen turned around and saw Chu Luo wearing a white down jacket. Her black hair was like ink and her lips were slightly red.
There was an indifferent expression on her delicate face, as cold as the moonlight.
He took Chu Luo's hand and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
Without waiting for Chu Luo's reaction, Bei Muchen pulled her hand and walked out.
Along the way, they passed by the back garden of the villa. There was a small wooden door in the back garden, and the outer mountain was the back mountain of the villa. It was said that there were ferocious beasts in the back mountain.
Bei Muchen led Chu Luo out, "Where are you taking me?"
Isn't it forbidden to go in or out of here?
Seeing Chu Luo's doubt, Bei Muchen smiled and said, "Follow me and you will know."
With a mysterious smile on his face, Chu Luo calmed down. Forget it, just let him be.
The two walked in the dark forest for a while. The forest was very quiet, and from time to time, there would be the cries of wild birds, which sounded somewhat terrifying.
Chu Luo subconsciously held Bei Muchen's hand tightly, pretending to be calm as she asked: "How much longer?"
"We'll be there in a moment."
Bei Muchen pulled Chu Luo through a dense forest. In the open space of the forest, there were many plants that emitted blue light.
Countless fireflies danced in the air like the starry sky.
"So beautiful." When Chu Luo saw this, the corners of her mouth curled up unknowingly. She let go of Bei Muchen's hand and rushed into the blue sea.
"What flower is this?"
Chu Luo lowered her body to look at it and discovered that it was just a normal plant covered with fluorescent agents. The entire flower sea was filled with fireflies.
Beautiful.
Chu Luo was very happy. She was like a fairy that had wandered into the mortal world. She spread her arms wide, and the faint fragrance of flowers lingered in the air. Fireflies rested on her body.
"You did this?" Chu Luo looked at Bei Muchen.
Bei Muchen liked to see the smile on Chu Luo's face. It was warm, just like the sun in winter. He walked in with a grand and majestic posture.
"Do you like it?"
Chu Luo nodded and smiled happily. "Yes, I like it. Thank you."
Hearing her say that she liked him, his thin lips curled up slightly. He reached out to hug Chu Luo, and a refreshing cold fragrance rushed into Chu Luo's nose.
Chu Luo froze, and the smile on her face stiffened.
"Don't do this, let go of me."
Chu Luo struggled, her emotions in disarray.
Ever since Chu Luo mentioned the name Fu Annan, her personality had become cold and distant. Bei Muchen could feel Chu Luo's resistance towards him.
"Chu Luo, stay with me."
He wanted to protect Chu Luo and make her the happiest woman in the world. As long as she wanted, he could give her anything, including his life.
However, Chu Luo didn't understand. Fu Annan's whereabouts were still unknown, so she couldn't forget about him.
Therefore, she hardened her heart and rejected Bei Muchen, "No, Bei Muchen, this is impossible. We are just contracting a marriage."
