"Yes." Lu Bai stood tall beside her. "They like it, and maybe that's why they moved to D City."

"That's true." An Xia'er pointed around. "Are those fruit trees?"

"Yes." Lu Bai nodded, "But there are too many people left to take care of it, and the fruit trees won't bear any fruit anymore. Xia'er, if you like this place, I can call some gardeners to tidy it up and make it as beautiful as before. You can come back and take a look at it occasionally."

"Eh?" An Xia turned to look at him. "I like it?"

What did he say?

Lu Bai scratched her nose, "Idiot, why do you think I would buy such an uninhabited and remote villa. This place belongs to you."

"…" An Xia was silent for a moment, then she looked at Lu Bai for a long time. "Then what you said just now had meaning to you …" "Then what about this place?"

Seeing Lu Bai's eyes, Anchor looked around again.

A hunch rose in his mind.

Could it be …

The weather was very good today. There was no wind. The beautiful picturesque place before his eyes was quietly placed before him. It was as if time had stopped, forever ending when his master had died.

An Xia'er looked at the scene before her and was stunned. Her eyes slowly lost focus.

Lu Bai hugged her from behind, "This is the old Xia Family."

"…"

An Xia'er's heart suddenly jumped, as if something had grabbed her heart. Something sour rushed into her eyes. She blinked, her breathing changed, and her vision became blurry.

Her lips slowly moved. "The Xia Family?"

Lu Bai nodded and tightened his grip on her, "The Marquis of Xia and his wife returned from overseas. I sent people to check and found out that their household register was moved back as well. This is one of their domestic villas. Hmm, it's a very beautiful place, very suitable for a family life. He started a company with An Xiong, he should be able to live a carefree life with his wife and daughter … If nothing else happened. "

If their daughter hadn't met him and brought him back, the Xia family would have been very happy, and An Xia would have been happily growing up with the Xia family's precious daughter.

Then she wouldn't be adopted by the An clan and wouldn't be involved in the grudges between the Wealthy Classes …

An Xia'er's eyes became moist and her breathing became a little shaky. "Tell me …" "Is this the place where I lived with my parents when I was young?"

"Well, I met you here." Lu Bai nodded, "Do you remember the place I was standing just now? Back then, I fell at that place, and when I woke up, I saw a girl squatting in front of me, curiously looking at me with her big eyes."

Speaking of what happened back then, Lu Bai smiled helplessly.

That was probably when he met her at his most destitute moment in his life.

An Xia looked in that direction, and she thought back to when Lu Bai was standing there, looking at the sea …

"You." Anxia clenched her fingers tightly. "Why didn't you tell me?" Why didn't you tell me you brought me here today... The Xia Family?

"Here's a surprise for you." Lu Bai said, "After all, if I came to the Xia Family that year, I would definitely know where the Xia Family is. Even if you didn't ask, I would have told you and brought you here to take a look."

An Xia'er bit her lip.

That's right, how could she forget about that? How could she forget to ask him or An Xiong where the Xia family was?

"I …" Anxia slowly squatted down and hugged herself. She blinked her red eyes and looked at Lu Bai, "I'm feeling very complicated. You're saying …" Was this place where my parents were killed all those years ago? "

Lu Bai didn't say anything.

After a while, his voice came from the top of An Xia's head. "I'm sorry."

It was all because of his appearance that the Xia Clan was annihilated.

An Xia'er blinked her eyes, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. "…" You don't have to apologize, because my parents won't be able to survive either. "

"Do you blame me?" Lu Bai's hand tightened, "If the last time at the hotel, you said that I was not the culprit, then is the Xia Family in front of you still thinking this way now?"

An Xia'er's eyes reddened. "I also want to blame you."

"…"

"At least blame others. You should feel better." An Xia'er hugged her knees as she looked at the lavender manor she was in, her head resting on her arms. Her face was somewhat dark, "But, my parents' deaths were indeed because of me, this is an indisputable fact. Lu Bai, according to what you said, I was the one who brought you back. If I hadn't saved you back then, nothing would have happened. "

The one who caused the Xia family's destruction, was her.

It was that inexperienced little girl from back then. She had killed her parents and brought back a man who was a bane to the Xia family.

— And this Bane is her husband now.

Lu Bai's voice was very low. "An Xia'er, I want to ask you again, do you hate me?"

This was the reason why he had always been unwilling to tell An Xia about the Xia family, because it was normal for her to hate him to death. If not for the departure of their child, An Xia'er's sadness, and her knowledge of her parents' death, Lu Bai thought, he could have kept this a secret for the rest of his life.

An Xia looked back at Lu Bai, who was shaking his pale hand.

She gently held his hand and stood up. "Lu Bai …"

Lu Bai turned to look at her, his eyes dark and unreadable.

An Xia gently pulled his hand and stood in front of him. She withdrew the tears in her eyes and raised her head with a smile. "The world gives me darkness and hatred. I return it with love. I want to use love to embrace this world and face you."

Lu Bai's brown eyes began to quiver.

"Very literary, right?" An Xia'er smiled. "After all, you didn't mean to do that back then. You took me to the wedding church when I was at the lowest point in my life. You gave me love and happiness …" Lu Bai, I have no reason to hate you. I think that my parents would not hate you either.

"Lu Bai, if you really feel that you owe me, then promise me that you'll always be by my side, that you'll always love me and love me. When everyone has betrayed me, you must stand behind me and never abandon me."

Lu Bai pulled her into his embrace.

He lowered his eyes and replied, "No, I won't."

Anthea smiled, her small face resting on his shoulder.

Lu Bai hugged her tightly. His brown eyes reflected the purple manor and the place where the story had started.

If there was one unforgettable person or one unforgettable love affair in everyone's heart, then An Xia'er was the unerasable cinnabar mole in his heart; a beautiful five-year-old girl, without love, was the most important person in his life.

The bodyguard had already opened the villa's door with his key and checked inside.

When Lu Bai and An Xia came in, the bodyguard said, "Eldest Young Master, there's nothing going on inside, it's just that there's too much dust and it's not recommended that we stay there for long. How about we have someone clean you and Young Madam up one day before coming over for a closer look?"

So much dust … How could their noble young master come to such a dirty place …

Lu Bai raised his brows, "No need, I'll bring An Xia to take a look."

An Xia'er looked at the villa. It should be the main hall, since there was dust everywhere. There were footprints all over the place. Some of the furniture had been covered by the cloth, but the cloth was also covered with dust, turning it yellow.

However, looking at the surroundings, as well as the location of the furniture …

Her head began to grow dizzy, as if it was shrouded in an indescribable shadow. She felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave this place.

It was as if something terrible had happened here.

But she couldn't remember anything.

"Ugh …"

Anthea pressed her temples and frowned.

Lu Bai walked over. "What's the matter?"

An Xia'er took a deep breath, feeling a little suffocated. "It's nothing. Maybe the air is a little out of circulation and it's a little uncomfortable."

"…"

Lu Bai looked at her and walked over.

Anxia helplessly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of anything. I'll keep watching."

Lu Bai frowned, "If you really don't feel well, then go back first. I just want to bring you to see the Xia Family today."

"I'll go up and take a look." "I can't say for sure where the study room is or what it might contain."

Anchor walked up the stairs to the second floor. It had been empty for more than ten years, but since the doors and windows were closed, there weren't any rats or anything like that. Apart from the dust, he couldn't even see the pictures on the walls.

An Xia originally wanted to go to the study and see if the Xia Family had left any documents or anything related to her. However, it was impossible to find in the study without cleaning.

In the end, she had only asked the bodyguard to move the small safe in the study, hoping to find something inside.

After leaving the villa, Lu Bai coughed a few times.

After An Xia'er told her bodyguard to move the safe into the car, she walked over. "What happened?"

Lu Bai was in great health. She hadn't even seen him get sick.

Don't cough.

Lu Bai said, "Nothing, the air's bad."

"…"

It turned out to be a rich disease. = = =

An Xia suddenly remembered that Lu Bai seemed to have very high requirements for the surrounding air.

A Xia'er's mouth twitched. "I'm sorry, but I forgot for a moment that you don't like the bad air."

"I'm fine." Lu Bai's cold face returned to normal. He looked at her and asked, "What? Are you satisfied?"

An Xia'er pointed at the safe in the car with her bodyguard. "Oh, that one. I hope there's something inside."

"A safe. Other than some important documents and cash from some companies in China, what else could it be?" Lu Bai frowned. "What other heirloom do you want to find?"

"What family heirloom!" An Xia'er's eyes widened. "I just want to see if there's anything about my childhood that I might be reminded of!"

"You want to see what you had when you were a child. You should go to the children's room." Lu Bai sniffed the dust inside and was not in a good mood. "How can there be anything from a child in an adult's study?"
