Chapter 47: Astonishing Beauty

Nan's Residence, South City.

In a room where all the windows were covered with black curtains, a dim oil lamp flickered to life.

In the swaying light of the lamp, a delicate and boneless hand gently brushed against a picture frame.

A nervous voice escaped the lips of the girl in the black dress.

"Genius, mental illness, mental illness, genius..." She muttered to herself as she sat on the floor, caressing the girl in the painting.

In the painting, the girl wore a black dress, half-closed her eyes, and had a gloomy expression.

"Sister..." Nan Zhu stared intensely at the girl in the painting and upon closer inspection, not only did she resemble the girl in the painting in terms of clothing, but her features also bore a striking resemblance.

"Long time no see."

Beside her, papers were scattered all over the floor, and on the papers were written, "Second Miss, Qing Phoenix's work at the Shouxuan banquet in the West City."

With a sudden realization, she looked around the entire room. The walls, ceiling, floor, and curtains—everywhere was filled with images of South's eldest daughter, the legendary mentally ill genius, Nan Huang.

...

Nan Huang left school, and at the school gate, a bright red luxury car was waiting for her.

Not seeing the familiar black car, she looked around in confusion. The driver, Tian Ma, opened the door and happily walked over. "Miss, we're here to pick you up."

Nan Huang then confirmed that this expensive-looking car was also owned by Young Master Rong.

She followed Tian Ma into the car and lazily looked out the window.

Tian Ma smiled and said, "Miss, do you miss Young Master Rong?"

"No," Nan Huang replied lazily.

Tian Ma said, "Young Master Rong has been very busy these days. He was originally planning to come pick you up, but he was held back by an emergency meeting. Worried that you'd wait too long, he sent me and Manager Chen instead."

"Okay," Nan Huang responded.

Just then, her phone lit up.

Nan Huang picked up her phone and saw a message from Young Master Rong.

Young Master Rong: Little brat, missing me, huh?!

A twitch appeared at the corner of Nan Huang's mouth, and she quickly turned off her phone.

The red luxury car entered the estate and drove slowly without stopping.

Tian Ma continued to chat with Nan Huang happily, "Miss, I don't know if you're aware, but a natural hot spring has appeared in the back mountain of our estate! It's a therapeutic hot spring! It surprised everyone."

Manager Chen, who was driving, added, "The entire estate is regularly inspected, and it was confirmed that there was no hot spring before. It suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

Tian Ma smiled and said, "That's why our Miss is so lucky. As soon as she arrived at the estate, she brought good fortune with her."

"A new hot spring?" Nan Huang was also surprised. She had found the hot spring, but she didn't know it was new.

Tian Ma nodded and said, "Actually, when Madam was still alive, there was a hot spring in the back mountain."

"Madam?" Nan Huang asked.

Tian Ma immediately said, "Oops, my mouth slipped. Miss, you don't know yet? This estate was inherited by Young Master Rong from Madam."

Nan Huang looked at Tian Ma curiously and intently. "Young Master Rong inherited it from his mother?"

Tian Ma smiled and said, "Yes, Madam was very fond of wine, so she specifically found a place suitable for growing grapes and built this vineyard. There are countless fine wines in the estate. Speaking of which, Miss hasn't had much to drink yet."

Nan Huang became interested and looked at Tian Ma. Seeing Nan Huang's interest, Tian Ma became more enthusiastic.

"Speaking of which, when Madam was still alive, there was a hot spring in the back mountain. Madam had a congenital cold condition and used to soak in the hot spring to drive away the cold. But then, for some reason, the hot spring dried up. We even had a bunch of geologists come to investigate, but it was no use. Unexpectedly, now another therapeutic hot spring has emerged in a different location. Now, Young Master Rong can go there frequently. Miss might not know, but Young Master Rong has..."

"Cough, cough!" Manager Chen immediately interrupted Tian Ma.

Tian Ma covered her mouth and said, "I said something I shouldn't have. By the way, Miss, can you forget what I just said? I'm sorry, please."

The woman in front of her was genuinely frightened, and Nan Huang didn't have the desire to dig deeper.

But the mention of the cold condition reminded her of the young man who used to shiver on the bed.

She leaned against the window and looked at the sky outside.

In her youth, he had been gentle and obedient, almost never taking his eyes off her. Over time, the image of that boy merged with the current man, who was domineering, unreasonable, and exuded an oppressive and threatening aura.

Her pupils slightly constricted.

No, that couldn't be possible, right?

But he was already dead, and she had seen it with her own eyes.

Moreover, these two people were really too different.

The red car continued along the road to the hot spring. Nan Huang only now noticed that the road leading to the hot spring had been paved with asphalt and was wide enough for two cars to pass side by side.

The road was beautifully designed, preserving the scenery, and the car could easily navigate it.

Slowly, a dreamlike hot spring wooden house appeared before her eyes. Its appearance was almost identical to what Young Master Rong had described. The interior of the wooden house was brightly lit, exuding a fairytale-like atmosphere.

Money certainly had its advantages; they had built the wooden villa in just ten days.

Tian Ma forgot about her earlier embarrassment and immediately got excited. She said with a smile, "Young Master Rong had this hot spring wooden house built overtime. This is a place for Miss and Young Master Rong to relax. Would you like to take a look, Miss?"

Nan Huang was captivated by the scenery in front of her and felt a sense of anticipation. "Yes."

After getting out of the car, Tian Ma and Manager Chen left in the car.

Nan Huang looked around. The garden was adorned with succulents and fresh bamboo, and a stone path made of massage energy stones meandered through it. Lush plants and artificial rock formations created a fairy-tale-like setting.

It was completely different from the hot spring she had seen a few days ago.

With no one to guide her, she walked in alone.

As she walked through the garden, past the corridors, she finally saw wisps of white steam.

The place emitting steam should be where the hot spring was located.

Nan Huang walked over, and what she saw was an astonishing sight!

A young man was lazily leaning against a hot spring stone, with half of his body immersed in the hot spring and the other half

 exposed.

The exposed skin had a healthy luster, perfect and symmetrical contours, and his eight-pack abs displayed his strength.

He lightly closed his eyes, long eyelashes adorned with water droplets. The heat of the hot spring gave his cheeks a rosy hue, and his lips were full and glossy.

His skin looked too good, and the well-defined abdominal muscles exposed to the air made people itch to touch them.

"Little brat, how long do you plan to keep staring?" The man's deep voice, possibly due to the hot spring, was low, husky, lazy, and seductive.

Nan Huang felt a bit embarrassed and quickly averted her gaze.

What's wrong with looking at beauty?

The man opened his deep eyes, gazed at Nan Huang for a moment, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Are you hungry?" The man's voice oozed with the charm of a mature man. "I'll take you to eat something."

With that, there was a splash of water, which startled Nan Huang, making her turn to look at him. However, as soon as she did, her face turned beet red. Her heart pounded loudly, like a drum.

He...he wasn't wearing anything? Is that really appropriate?!

A damp hand picked up a bath towel from the ground, and the man wrapped it around his lower body before turning around.

"Little brat, come here."
