Rose Manor

Fu Jichen looked at the piece of jade held in her hand with gentle eyes. He wanted to thank this piece of jade for guiding him to find the person in front of him.

Maybe the term "karma cycle" makes sense. When they parted at the airport, Jia Nian took the jade from him, and now it brought her back to him.

"A friend of mine, whose family is involved in the aviation business, went to the airport to inspect the work. He happened to see the lost and found items. He recognized it as my thing and called me to pick it up." Fu Jichen said, "I followed the jade lion to find it. your."

Shen Jianian couldn't believe it: "You said this is your thing?"

This jade handle and a golden bracelet were found in the study room when she was cleaning the villa in Jiangcheng. She asked Pei Che, and Pei Che said that these two things belonged to her.

Now Fu Jichen says this is his thing.

"Yes." Fu Jichen nodded and added, "I gave it to you originally. To be precise, it belongs to you."

Shen Jia Nian rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair and slender wrists, and asked persistently: "What about this bracelet?"

"I gave it to you too." Fu Jichen showed her the bracelet on his wrist that he had never taken off. "It's the same pair as the one I'm wearing."

Shen Jianian's heart skipped a beat. What else didn't she know?
Fu Jichen waited for a while. She had nothing else to ask. He raised his hand and stroked the top of her hair and said, "It's still early. You can still sleep some more. Just lie down."

Shen Jia Nian's mind was in a daze, and he lay down on the quilt full of thoughts, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, until daylight broke out.

She held the jade lion handle tightly in her hand, and a voice in her ear told her over and over again: This thing belongs to Fu Jichen.

Shen Jia Nian closed her dry eyes and took a deep breath. It was like a stone was stuck in her chest and she couldn't move it away. The stone weighed her down and she couldn't breathe.

The door was pushed open, but she didn't open her eyes. She judged from the footsteps that the person coming was Fu Jichen.

Seeing that she was still sleeping, Fu Jichen woke her up without saying a word. He took her temperature first to make sure she didn't have a fever anymore. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left the room.

The moment the door closed, Shen Jia opened her eyelids and looked at the ceiling. She had never been so eager to see Pei Che. She wanted to ask Pei Che for confirmation, and wanted to hear Pei Che tell her personally that what Fu Jichen said was not true.

When a new day came, Cheng Jin came over to bring breakfast to Shen Jia Nian and reminded her to take medicine half an hour after the meal.

"My husband has something to go to the company. Before he left, he told me that if you feel the room is stuffy, you can go for a walk, but you can't leave the villa." Cheng Jin opened the window for ventilation and suggested to her, "While the weather is not so hot in the morning, Would you like to take a walk in the garden? The sun will be very bright later."

Shen Jia Nian had already been holding it in for a long time. When he heard that he could go out, he nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

She had been lying in bed all day yesterday. She didn't want to take the elevator and took the stairs down.

Cheng Jin followed her unhurriedly, reminding her to be careful with her steps. She had mopped the floor half an hour ago, and the water stains in some places had not been dried, so it would be easy to slip if she stepped on it.

Shen Jianian held the handrail of the stairs with one hand and smiled at her: "I feel much better. I'm not so weak. I won't fall."

Cheng Jin said casually: "Miss Jianian fell on the stairs before and injured her knee. We can't be careless."

Shen Jia Nian thought that he was immune to the "Miss Jia Nian" in her aunt's mouth. When she heard her mention it, her heart was still knotted and she couldn't help but not care.

She responded absently: "Really?"

Cheng Jin nodded solemnly, remembering that her husband told her that if this young lady wanted to know about Jia Nian's past, just tell her the truth without hiding it.

"So my husband later found someone to smash the floor tiles and lay them again," Cheng Jin said.

The expression on Shen Jia Nian's face was indescribable, and he wondered, "Did you knock off the floor tiles on the stairs just because you fell?" It was too much to make a fuss.

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Yes. Sir, I have always loved Jia Nian very much."

In the living room, the dogs who were cooking saw a stranger appear in the house, barking at Shen Jia Nian with such menacing appearance that Shen Jia Nian, a dog lover, was frightened and stepped back and hid behind Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin pretended to be angry at the dogs with a straight face: "Don't be naughty, go eat!"

The most naughty one was the black dog, which went around behind Cheng Jin and grabbed Shen Jianian's trouser leg.Cheng Jin thought Shen Jia Nian was afraid, so he told her: "They just look fierce and don't bite. If you call its name, it will behave."

Shen Jia Nian felt relieved and asked Cheng Jin, "What is this dog's name?"

"Blessing."

Shen Jianian shouted "Laifu", and the big black dog suddenly let go of her trousers and tilted his head at her, as if to identify something. "Laifu?" Shen Jianian shouted again. Seeing the stupid expression on the big black dog's face, he curled up his lips and smiled, trying to gently touch its head, "Who gave you such a tacky name?" ah."

Cheng Jin said from the side: "I heard from Mr. Jia Nian that he got it."

Shen Jia Nian choked.

The big black dog seemed to have reacted. It shook its tail like a propeller, and kept pulling on Shen Jianian's body with its forelimbs. Its long mouth cupped the palm of her hand and made a purring sound.This dog has a fierce look, and it looks very funny as he acts coquettishly and begs to be petted.

When Cheng Jin saw this scene, he was secretly surprised. Although Laifu was docile, he had never seen him do this to anyone except Jiannian.Maybe it was because the voice of the young lady in front of him was so similar to Jianian's, so it thought it was seeing its former owner.

Shen Jia Nian stroked the furry dog's head, and the other two dogs seemed to be jealous. They squeezed over and pushed Laifu away with their butts, allowing Shen Jia Nian to touch it.

After a while, the cat sleeping on the floor came to join in the fun.

Cheng Jin watched a group of cats and dogs mingling with the people in front of her, and felt more and more trustworthy in her husband's words. She murmured to Shen Jia Nian's unfamiliar face, "Are you really Jia Nian?"

Cheng Jin was a little embarrassed when he accidentally said what was on his mind.

Shen Jia Nian heard her words and did not directly admit that she was the "Jia Nian" she knew. She said, "My name is indeed Shen Jia Nian."

Cheng Jin heard her say her name was Shen Jianian yesterday, but didn't take it seriously, thinking it was her husband's intention. But when she heard her say it again today, she believed that was her name.

The husband said she had changed her appearance and lost her memory.Cheng Jin held his hands together and said in a cautious and probing tone: "Then...do you still remember me?"

Shen Jianian shook his head, feeling that she was friendly but not knowing her.

Cheng Jin remembered that morning three years ago, when she was cleaning at home and heard the news on TV about a major car accident that occurred in Jiangcheng. She wanted to ask her if she had suffered brain and facial injuries in that car accident. She paused and finally I didn't ask, because I didn't want to mention the sad things.

The two went for a walk in the garden. Roses and roses were in bloom. There was an irregular lotus pond under the flower stand, with white water lilies in full bloom and red dragonflies landing on the lotus leaves.

The breeze was blowing and it was very comfortable. Shen Jia Nian sat down on the wicker chair by the lotus pond and observed the surroundings of the villa to see where it would be suitable to escape over the wall.

It was okay inside the courtyard wall. If she put a stool on it, she might be able to climb to the top of the wall. But outside the wall, it was difficult. It was a bit high. She didn't dare to jump down for fear of breaking her arms and legs.

She didn't want to stay here, she couldn't explain it to Fu Jichen, and Pei Che didn't come to find her, so she had to find a way to escape on her own.

After sitting for a while, the sun rose higher and higher. It was still hot in the shade under the flower stand. Shen Jia Nian did not put on sunscreen and chose to go inside.

A week later, Shen Jia Nian's illness had long since recovered, but Pei Che still hadn't arrived.

She specifically asked Aunt Cheng if anyone had messaged her back or called her.Aunt Cheng told the truth that no one contacted her and no text messages were received.

Shen Jianian wondered if she was too panicked and entered the wrong number that day. Pei Che did not receive the message she sent.

She asked Aunt Cheng to borrow her cell phone and wanted to call Pei Che again.

Cheng Jin thought of Fu Jichen's words, "It won't happen again" and he didn't dare to go against the rules again.Fu Jichen seemed to have a lot of respect for her. That was due to his upbringing, but it didn't mean that he was an easy talker.

She had no choice but to politely reject Shen Jianian, saying that she was in trouble.

Shen Jianian understood her and didn't force her.

Since she fell ill, Fu Jichen has relaxed her scope of activities, but only in the villa.She tried that day. While Aunt Cheng was going to the kitchen to cut fruit, she took a detour and sneaked to the gate. Fu Jichen should have told the villa's doorman not to let her out.

Shen Jianian felt like he was going crazy.

Fu Jichen spends half of his time at home with her every day, and the other time he goes to the company to handle work. Sometimes he takes the work home if he cannot finish it, sits next to her and continues working on it, and even holds video conferences in front of her.

The 23rd was Monday, and Fu Jichen had several meetings that day. Yesterday afternoon, his special assistant came to the villa to report to him and reminded him of today's arrangements. Shen Jia Nian heard this.

Not long after Fu Jichen left, Shen Jia Nian left the room and walked downstairs.

Except for being sick a few days ago, Cheng Jin was worried about her health and stayed with her. After that, when she went out for a walk, Cheng Jin did not follow her and gave her some free space.

Shen Jia Nian moved the rattan chair placed under the flower stand to the bottom of the courtyard wall, stepped on it, leaned his arms on the wall and looked outside. It was flat ground outside, so that would be easy.
