It was September, and autumn was slightly cold.
In the villa halfway up the mountain, Jing Xinlei often sat on the swing chair on the balcony on the second floor, flipping through the book “Sophie’s world.”.
Only in this way could she calm her heart.
It was evening, and the setting sun stretched the shadow of the entire balcony.
Jing xinlei looked up and saw the most beautiful sunset in the sky. The corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up slightly.
Her favorite scenery every day was the setting sun and the rising sun.
The sound of a car engine approached from afar. She lowered her eyes and saw the Red Bentley that Zhong Shenghao often drove slowly approaching.
She closed the book and stood up. A sense of urgency rose in her heart.
In the past, she always watched his car drive into the courtyard calmly. But recently, she found that when she saw his car coming back, she couldn’t wait to rush downstairs!
After putting “Sophie’s world”on the swing chair, she turned around and rushed down the stairs.
Just as she reached the living room, she heard footsteps coming from the entrance.
However, just as she turned her gaze to the entrance, the faint smile on her lips suddenly froze. She stared blankly at the two figures walking in from the entrance.
“When did you buy a villa here? This is my first time here!”
Xiao ran, who entered with Zhong Shenghao, was smiling beautifully. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Jing xinlei standing in the middle of the living room.
She was stunned, as if she was a little surprised by Jing Xinlei’s sudden appearance.
“I bought it a few years ago.”
Zhong Shenghao replied to her. Then, he looked up and saw the person standing there.
He smiled faintly and walked over.
“Xinlei.”
Usually, at this time, she should still be sitting on the balcony on the second floor. Today, she actually went downstairs.
Jing xinlei glanced at him indifferently and then glanced at Xiao ran.
“Xinlei, why are you… Here?”
Xiao ran walked forward, and a complicated look flashed in her clear eyes.
Jing Xinlei didn’t say anything. She just pursed her pink lips slightly. “Why are you here?”
“I… went to the hospital today and happened to run into Sheng Hao, so I came here for dinner.”Xiao ran said it very casually, but in reality, she was the one who wanted to come here for dinner, as a good friend, Zhong Shenghao naturally had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, they hadn’t seen each other for three years, and she was Xinlei’s friend. Perhaps it would be good for her to come here more often and accompany Xinlei. Thus, he agreed.
“Have a seat first.”
Zhong Shenghao spoke, then strode forward and put his arm around Jing Xinlei’s back, walking toward the sofa.
Xiao ran raised her eyes and noticed his movements. Although they weren’t that intimate, it was obvious that he cared about Jing xinlei.
Could it be that after Xinlei’s family was down and out, she had been with Sheng Hao all this time?
So this villa was also bought for her?
The three of them sat down on the sofa, and soon, a maid served them tea.
“You guys talk first. I have something to take care of upstairs.”
Zhong Shenghao spoke, glanced at the two of them, then got up and went upstairs.
Xiao ran’s gaze followed his back until his figure completely disappeared at the corner of the stairs. Only then did she withdraw her gaze.
But this scene was witnessed by Jing Xinlei.
In fact, she had known since four years ago that her good sister liked Sheng Hao, but she had never expressed her feelings.
However, as she went abroad, her feelings for Zhong Shenghao seemed to have been put on hold.
Xiao ran withdrew her gaze and looked at her face. “Xinlei, you… have always lived here?”
