CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 240 GIVE IT A TRY

At the palm of her hand was a throbbing heartbeat, Shu Wan raised her head and saw Fu Siyu’s eyelashes tremble slightly.

Fu Siyu could actually get nervous too, Shu Wan felt quite surprised.

Beyond the surprise, a hint of warmth emerged from her heart, she could distinctly feel that Fu Siyu was indeed very nervous right now.

Actually, Shu Wan was very nervous just now, but now, perhaps knowing she was the one in control, she wasn’t as nervous anymore.

Few knew that Shu Wan could sometimes have a bit of a wicked sense of humor, it was rare to see Fu Siyu nervous, so Shu Wan subconsciously wiggled her fingers.

Through the thin jacket, Fu Siyu could feel a light force brushing over the cloth, and immediately, his eyes stirred with emotion.

Sensing the emotional fluctuation in Fu Siyu, Shu Wan nonchalantly drew back her hand and changed the subject, "That cathedral is quite beautiful."

If this were any other time, Fu Siyu would certainly have cooperated with Shu Wan in changing the subject.

But now, perceiving the change in Shu Wan’s attitude towards him, naturally, Fu Siyu wouldn’t just let Shu Wan get away with it.

The grip he had on Shu Wan’s wrist lessened a bit, letting her withdraw her hand, but the next second, Fu Siyu’s hand slid down along her wrist and took Shu Wan’s hand in his.

His large hand enveloped her small one, fitting tightly together.

Shu Wan could no longer pretend to be calm, she turned her head, "Fu Siyu."

"Mhm, here, what’s your command?"

Fu Siyu looked at Shu Wan with a smile brimming in his eyes, the light in them dazzlingly bright, the happy emotions unfailingly shining through.

Shu Wan suddenly found herself unable to speak.

Her eyes flickered, and in truth, she wasn’t opposed to Fu Siyu’s actions.

When she was very young, she had actually enjoyed a brief period of family affection, and later, when she went out to study, she had good teachers and helpful friends.

Speaking of which, the only thing she had never experienced was love.

Yet from ancient times to the present, love was known as the emotion that "commands people to pledge their life and death to each other," and Shu Wan was not resistant to experiencing it.

Shu Wan’s tacit approval undoubtedly gave Fu Siyu a tremendous affirmation.

He immediately moved closer to Shu Wan, his lips curving up, "Now we can talk about that beautiful cathedral."

How was one supposed to chat in such a situation? Shu Wan felt helpless, but Fu Siyu seemed very interested, and started to introduce the well-known cathedral to her.

"This is St. Paul’s Cathedral, a masterpiece by the architectural genius Rein. This site was originally an ancient stone circle, and later a temple dedicated to the goddess Diana..."

Originally Shu Wan had little interest, but Fu Siyu, being knowledgeable, talked about a bunch of ancient Western myths and immediately hooked Shu Wan’s curiosity, "Can we go inside the cathedral?"

"Of course," Fu Siyu nodded, "It’s too late now, I’ll accompany you there tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

The residence arranged by Fu Siyu was a castle left by a duke of Ying Country from the last century.

The castle continued Ying Country’s noble elegant style from the last century; in the city center where land was worth its weight in gold, there was actually a river flowing around it, and from this side of the riverbank to inside the castle, there was a wide ancient bridge.

As the car passed over the bridge, the sound of trickling water was in her ears, the sight of the ancient castle emitting a profound historical aura before her eyes, giving one the illusion of stepping from the modern world into the last century.

Entering the castle, the well-maintained garden was filled with flowers vying in splendor, which did not belong to this season, and deep green ivy clung to the huge, ancient brick walls. Through the gaps in the leaves, one could see the flames burning in the fireplace inside the house.

The climate in Ying Country was moist, snow mixed with fine rain; Fu Siyu got out of the car first, opened an umbrella, then reached out for Shu Wan to alight.

Throughout the process, Fu Siyu didn’t let go of Shu Wan’s hand.

Walking into the living room amidst the curious glances of onlookers, Shu Wan and Fu Siyu entered together.

The inside of the house was warm as spring, the floor covered in a carpet with a rich and complex pattern, a huge chandelier casting a magnificent brightness around the room, seeming to wash away much of the weariness of the journey.

"You should go up and freshen up, I’ll call you for a meal in a while."

"Okay."

Before Fu Siyu and Shu Wan arrived, the housekeeper had already had the servants trained overnight.

Therefore, even in a foreign country, all the living supplies were Shu Wan’s favorites.

She had a comfortable bath, and an hour later, the long journey’s fatigue was wiped clean.

Shu Wan stepped out of the bathroom, Fu Siyu had already come up to wait for her.

Hearing footsteps, Fu Siyu turned his head, his gaze momentarily fixed.

Actually, Shu Wan wasn’t dressed too extravagantly, a white loose sweater on top, and black leisure pants on the bottom, very simple and straightforward.
