Chapter 471
The Xu family was extremely rich . That was the first impression that Ning Ning had . The vast space that was nearly ten thousand square meters all belonged to the Xu family . The architecture had a very clear British style, where castles were the main buildings . There were many independent mansions around it, as well as a private golf course . The garden was even more beautiful, majestic and magnificent, but also romantic . At the front of the garden, he could see a row of pretty sycamore trees, and the yellow leaves made them look even more beautiful .
An old English housekeeper had come to fetch him and he politely invited Ning Ning to the hall . He was here to visit Xu Xing, not the husband and wife of the Xu family . As long as he could settle Xu Xing, the husband and wife of the Xu family would grant her any wish as they loved her a lot .
There was a disadvantage to having a big house, which was that it seemed a little too quiet . The servants in the garden were dressed in uniforms and worked quietly . There were many servants passing by, but they seldom made any noise .
The old housekeeper was very considerate . After he had arrived at the hall, the maids respectfully served tea and snacks . They were also dressed in a uniform, which made them look full of vigor and stylish . He nodded politely and soon saw Xu Xing running toward him like a butterfly .
“Ning Ning, you have finally come to see me . ” Xu Xing smiled and looked as pretty as a flower . She was wearing a fluffy snow-white princess dress and had a princess hairstyle . She looked like an angel, holy and beautiful .
Ning Ning smiled faintly . Since he was visiting Xu Xing at the Xu family, and her mother was a princess, he dressed himself in formal clothes . It was rare to see Ning Ning dressed so formally . Paired with his beautiful and elegant face, Xu Xing found him more charming .
“Miss, how did you get out?” The old housekeeper ran over in a panic . “The duke will lose his temper . Hurry back . ”
Ning Ning frowned . ‘Was it a bad timing to come?’
Xu Xing stuck out her tongue . “Ah, Ning Ning, I can’t stay for too long . Can you wait for me here for a while? My mother and father are expecting guests today . I have to accompany them . I’ll be fine in a moment . ”
Ning Ning thought about it for a while . ‘It is still early . ’ He nodded . Xu Xing smiled happily and ran away in a hurry again . She turned around as she ran . “You must wait for me to come back . ”
“Okay!” Ning Ning replied and Xu Xing soon disappeared into the corridor .
Ning Ning sat and waited for twenty minutes . He asked the old housekeeper how long Xu Xing would take to be back and he estimated that it would probably take an hour more .
Ning Ning got up and asked, “May I take a walk in the backyard?”
The old housekeeper nodded and wanted to lead the way . Ning Ning smiled and stopped him as he wanted to walk alone . The old housekeeper could see that the unruly and arrogant Xu Xing was very good to him . Naturally, he would not disobey him . Ning Ning thanked him, went out of the hall, and walked to the garden alone .
The Xu family was very big and it took more than ten minutes to walk from the hall to the backyard . It had to be said that the design was really great . The design of the fountain pool, the statue, and the garden—all were great .
Ning Ning liked the row of tall French sycamore trees, which gave the garden some natural beauty . The golden leaves fell out of the branches when the breeze blew and the floating leaves poured down onto the ground as if there were countless pieces of gold . The sun shone through the gaps of the leaves and reflected sunlight onto the ground . It was the most beautiful scenery ever .
The beautiful scenery was dazzling .
“Beautiful!” Ning Ning exclaimed . He had rarely seen such beautiful scenery, especially where there were chairs under the sycamore trees on both sides . He had imagined reading and drinking tea on the chair, which he deemed a great enjoyment in life .
He had heard from his mother that she and his father had also seen a row of beautiful sycamore trees when they were having their honeymoon in France . This season was when the sycamore trees were the most beautiful in France . His mother, who was not a romantic person, even told him that walking in the golden rain hand in hand was something very romantic to do .
The young kid smiled and reached out to catch some leaves . Suddenly, his eyes brightened and something red slipped across his eyes in the golden rain . Ning Ning was curious and took a few steps forward .
There was a little girl sitting on the chair under the sycamore tree . She was facing him sideways, wearing a red skirt . Her long hair was tied up with a red ribbon, and she supported the back of the chair with one hand, looking as if she was sleeping on her side . From Ning Ning’s point of view, he could only see half of her face…
He frowned . ‘Why would anyone be in the forest?’
The closer he got, the more surprised he was . She seemed to be young, most probably about the age of Xu Xing . Her back view was so familiar to him, especially the ribbon around her waist . If it was replaced by a silver whip, then…
The image of Xu Nuo came to mind . Ning Ning’s calm heart was suddenly stirred upside down . Nuo Nuo…
‘Nuo Nuo…’
Ning Ning suddenly closed his eyes and hallucinated . ‘Hallucination . It is just a hallucination . She is long gone . Nuo Nuo is long gone . ’ It took him a long time to convince himself to accept this fact .
He still longed for her to come back, but he knew that this desire was far from being realized .
Nuo Nuo was not considered merciless . Even if she had left, she would occasionally meet him in his dream, listen to him quietly, and hear him talk about his troubles and worries . He was very satisfied with that .
He didn’t want to go so crazy to the point that even hallucinations had appeared .
He closed his eyes for a while and then opened them again . The red figure still stood in front of him, motionless .
He was frightened and approached it slowly . He stepped on the dead branch carelessly and made a soft sound . The girl woke up suddenly and turned her head in a hurry . Ning Ning saw a pair of cold but amazingly beautiful eyes .
When the girl saw that someone was coming, she quickly stood up and looked at him vigilantly . She was very pretty with her beautiful eyes and cherry red nose . Because she had held her cheeks with her hands for a long time, her face blushed, which was quite charming . Girls like her would usually have a pair of childlike eyes, but she didn’t . Her beautiful but cold eyes had something that did not belong to her age…
She looked as if she had experienced lots of sufferings and difficulties .
“Who are you?” she asked in a clear, cold voice .
She was not Xu Nuo .
She only had the red dress that Xu Nuo liked, the cold eyes that Xu Nuo had, and Xu Nuo’s…
He smiled wryly . Why did he have to compare her with Xu Nuo? Maybe it was in his subconscious, but what’s the point? She was not Xu Nuo .
“I’m a guest of the Xu . Sorry to disturb you . ”
The girl’s eyes didn’t linger on him for a long time . She was about to leave when she heard someone call behind her . “Xu Nuo, where are you? Xu Nuo…”
Ning Ning was shocked .
