Today, at night, Sen Sheng thought about the name of the most recent Shanghai Beach — White Rose. She thought about how Xiao Mian had sent her to this place to take care of her, and couldn't help but give them a break of half a day to watch a show. In any case, it would only be two hours or so, so Sen Sheng thought that there shouldn't be any big problems. Besides, this was the center of the city. Even if something happened, she could still call for help in time.

Originally, the group of Lu Family servants who were sent over by Xiao Mian were still hesitating. After all, Xiao Mian had specifically told them who she was previously, so they all knew how important Sen Sheng was to them. However, none of them could withstand Sen Sheng's warmth, and in the end, went to the theater. The few of them felt that the theater was very close to Sen Sheng's place and that there wouldn't be any problems so they went there.

But in this world, if one lacked the word 'coincidence', then it was unknown how much less of a love it could be called.

That evening, Sen Sheng was sitting by the wall of the courtyard with a stool from her room. In one hand she was holding a plate of dessert, and in the other she was holding a small pot of water to water flowers. Walking out, Sen Sheng leaned lazily on the chair and casually splashed water on the green life forms with the kettle in her hand. Just as Sen Sheng thought that this life was rather comfortable, at that moment, a few heavy and hurried knocking sounds came from outside the door.

This sudden voice that came in the tranquil air scared Sen Sheng, who had his eyes narrowed, the latter opened his eyes almost instantly when he thought of knocking on the door, there was even a hint of confusion inside, but that confusion was quickly replaced by apprehension.

Who is it? Sen Sheng's heart was thumping. She didn't think she'd be so unlucky, did she? Just as she removed the protection of the courtyard today, Sen You Guang's men had already found her?

Sen Sheng had already stood up from her small stool, and carefully walked towards the main entrance along the side of the courtyard.

"Who is it?" she whispered.

However, no one answered her outside the door. Just as she put her ear to the iron door, she heard several more banging noises from outside, so muffled that she felt as if her ear, which was pressed against the door, was trembling.

"Who is it?" Sen Sheng's heart was in turmoil. She didn't know who was outside the door, and since she was the only one in the house, she didn't dare to recklessly open the door. If it was Sen You Guang's men, they would definitely be outside shouting her name. How could they be silent like this? Something wasn't right.

However, there was still no response from anyone outside the door.

There seemed to be no one outside the door. Sen Sheng felt a little guilty in her heart. She gently opened the big lock on the door, and then pulled it open a little. She moved closer to her head, revealing a pair of eyes as she carefully observed the situation outside. It was good that she didn't look at him, but when she did, her expression turned into one of shock.

The person outside the door did not leave. Instead, he fell unconscious in front of her door. If it was an ordinary person, Sen Sheng would have let it be, but, that person was covered in blood, Sen Sheng felt that she could not just sit there and watch.

Without hesitation, Sen Sheng bent down and used all her strength to drag the person outside into her courtyard. With some panic, she took the mop and quickly cleaned up the pile of 'evidence' in front of the door before entering and locking it behind her. However, at the moment she turned around, he froze where she was.

Previously, she had only been concerned with dragging people into the house, but hadn't properly sized up the appearance of the person at the door. Now that he turned his head, the man's appearance was caught off guard and caught in Sen Sheng's eyes.

How … how could it be him!?
