Catherine faintly walked out of the apartnt building, the old neighborhood worn out everywhere, with so moss on the entrance steps. She almost slipped as she ca down.
Fuzi silently watched as Catherine returned to the car, her dark red eyes returning to normal.
Her master was not in a good mood. She noticed sothing off about Catherine's complexion.
They were supposed to go ho after dropping off Shen Mochen, but soon discovered that Shen Mochen's backpack was left in the car, so they ca back to deliver it.
Fuzi had thought to call Shen Mochen to co down and get it themselves, but Catherine insisted on taking it up to him.
Fuzi felt that even Shen Mochen should be moved... The master should have teased him a bit, sat in his ho for a while, and then left satisfied.
Why did she look so dejected when she ca out?
"Master, what happened, do we need to eliminate Shen Mochen?" Fuzi asked.
"No need, let's go ho."
Catherine leaned back in the seat, looking inexplicably tired.
Fuzi didn't speak anymore, gently stepping on the accelerator.
The black luxury car drove smoothly on the road, lights gleaming on both sides, the interior of the car shifting between dim and bright.
Catherine rembered what she had seen just now and slowly clenched her fist.
She wasn't planning to deliver the backpack herself originally, but she changed her mind when she saw that there were no lights on in Shen Mochen's ho while Yuncui's next door was lit.
Shen Mochen must be at Yuncui's place. Would he jump up in shock if she appeared just then? Would he shout "Cath, Cath, Cath," or just "Cath"?
With such a teasing intention, Catherine, carrying the backpack, silently went upstairs. She wanted to scare him and show Yuncui who was truly important to him!
She was in luck, the door key wasn't even taken out. She gently opened the door without anyone noticing.
Listening to their conversation from the side, she intended to find the right mont to join in, but Catherine kept holding back just as she was about to speak.
She secretly watched the two eating dinner together at the table, chatting and laughing. She quietly listened to their casual and everyday conversation. Suddenly, she grew tired of the prank and lost interest.
It was so ordinary, just a regular family dinner. So warm, she had never experienced that.
Catherine knew her appearance would disrupt this harmonious and natural atmosphere, so she quietly left the backpack at the door and left, feeling like it was a kind of escape.
This feeling was truly uncomfortable. She vaguely felt so jealousy, but it wasn't just simple jealousy towards Yuncui.
Catherine leaned against the car door, idly observing the world outside the window. This was her least known hobby, unknown to anyone but herself.
She liked watching the scenery outside while speeding in the car, especially at night, watching the roadside lights connect into a stretch, with thousands of lights being left behind.
Everything seed to be moving backward, everything was going away from her. She really enjoyed this feeling, a naless lancholy.
Just like a firework fizzling out.
She didn't like watching the fireworks bloom, she only loved that instant when they dimd and died.
"It seems like there's so awkwardness...""
Fuzi glanced at Catherine through the rearview mirror and thought to herself that this Shen Mochen really deserved to die.
Although she didn't know the reason, the mistress had turned out this way surely because of Shen Mochen!
It wasn't long before they returned to Tianyi Immortal Garden. Catherine got out of the car at the villa entrance, and Fuzi drove the car into the garage.
The villa next door was brightly lit, while the one in front of Catherine remained as dim as ever. She pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the uninhabited villa.
After taking a bath and changing into loose clothes, Catherine quickly finished her howork. With the moonlight bright and clear, she stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in her bedroom, looking at the gently rippling pool under the moonlight in the yard.
Walking slowly downstairs, she made her way to the poolside, looked up at the sky, and a lonely shadow was cast on the ground by the moonlight.
Catherine took off her slippers and rolled up her trouser legs, then sat by the pool, dipping her feet in and gently kicking the water.
"Mistress, it is quite cool at night, and you weren't feeling well today—be careful not to catch a cold."
Fuzi ca over with a cup of hot tea, which Catherine took before Fuzi draped a shawl over her shoulders.
Catherine took a sip of the hot tea and looked down,"Speak, what is it?"
Fuzi squatted in front of Catherine, bending over, "Mistress, your father called earlier, saying that he wants to hold a birthday party for you next month at the Lake Moon Building."
"Have I developed premature senility?" Catherine's lips curled slightly, "If I rember correctly, my birthday is still over two months away."
"He ntioned, according to Yupi calendar, it's next month..."
"Ha, rely an excuse to foster relations with the noble families of Gaotang State, any talk of a birthday party is just a pretext."
Catherine chuckled coldly.
"Should I decline for you then..."
"How could I? I should thank him for rembering I'm the only one with the Alexandrov surna at this ti. No matter how much he favors that illegitimate son, he's still an illegitimate child who can't show his face in public." Catherine shrugged indifferently and chuckled mockingly, "Let him organize it if he wants, but I might not attend."
"Your mother also called, she said they plan to invite all the leading families of Gaotang State, including the governor, to attend. She ant that she hopes you will attend your own birthday party as a daughter of the Alexandrov Family, together with your parents..."
"Only during such tis do they pretend to be a loving family, they really don't find it disgusting..." Catherine said sarcastically, turning her head to Fuzi, "The noble families of Gaotang State are not unaware of their deeds, yet they still self-deceive. Is this the hypocrisy of adults?"
"If you do not wish to attend, I can decline for you." Fuzi pursed her lips, softly adding, "As long as I am here, no one can force you."
Catherine downed the remaining tea in her cup, handing the empty cup back to Fuzi, "Why not go? After all, this is a glory that only those in the Alexandrov Family can enjoy."
As Fuzi, holding the empty tea cup, was about to leave, she couldn't help but ask one more question, "If I may be so bold, Mistress, how do you view Shen Mochen?"
A cool breeze carrying the scent of flowers blew through the courtyard, the leaves rustling softly. Catherine stood up from the poolside, and Fuzi imdiately handed her a clean towel. She wiped her legs and feet, slipped on her sandals, and walked into the villa.
"He will fall in love with ."
She just repeated it, her eyes as dark as the night.
