Chapter 143
Listening to radio dramas with Lu Tu lacked the full experience, so Jiang Yan quickly abandoned him for that activity.
However, Lu Tu still had a challenging task ahead—encouraging the young mistress to exercise. He had assumed it would be as difficult as getting her out of bed, but to his surprise, the young mistress agreed readily.
It was so easy that Butler Lu began to question reality. Even without her sight, the young mistress's sharp perception remained undiminished. She tilted her head slightly, her unseeing eyes seeming to pierce through the butler's astonished gaze. "Do you have a problem with that?" she asked bluntly.
Butler Lu humbly replied, "Not at all," and then led the young mistress to the indoor sports facility within the estate.
The entire estate had been custom-built for the young mistress, and the sports facility was naturally designed to cater to her specific needs. There were no large pieces of equipment; instead, the space was kept open and level throughout.
Jiang Yan had agreed to come here because she could roller skate.
She donned all the necessary protective gear—helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, and gloves—before skating under the watchful eye of professional instructors.
Lu Tu sat on a nearby bench, his mind wandering as he watched the young mistress. He continued to ponder the weighty question that had been troubling him—what exactly were his feelings towards the young mistress?
Affection? Desire? Mere physical attraction?
Once emotions surface, they make one hesitant to act rashly. Lu Tu himself couldn't be certain.
He observed as the young mistress glided across the floor on her roller skates, her arms gracefully extended. Her raven-black hair flowed behind her as she executed fluid turns. Her smooth, elegant movements resembled those of a graceful swan in flight.
Lu Tu's thoughts drifted. The young mistress was haughty and quick-tempered, impatient, living alone in this rose-filled estate.
At times like these, Lu Tu couldn't help but laugh, both exasperated and charmed by the young mistress's temperament.
As Jiang Yan waited for Lu Tu's response, she suddenly found her hands full of various items—a water bottle, towel, and a couple of containers that were probably her sunscreen and such.
Then, without warning, her legs were swept up, and she found herself on Lu Tu's back.
Lu Tu's tone carried just a hint of playful revenge as he said with a smirk, "Young mistress, hold on tight. Don't fall off."
With her hands full, Jiang Yan couldn't wrap her arms around his neck, so she had to lean forward. Of course, Lu Tu's grip on her was firm, so there was no real danger of falling.
Even while being carried, Jiang Yan couldn't stay still. She began to feel around Lu Tu's body, stuffing the items she held into his pockets one by one.
Lu Tu's mouth twitched slightly as he felt his expensive, neatly pressed jacket pockets bulging awkwardly, their original value now completely obscured.
But the young mistress, draped lazily across his back, reached out to touch the tall potted plants lining the corridor. As the leaves brushed past her palm repeatedly, a sudden whim struck her. She plucked a couple and slipped them down the back of Lu Tu's neck.
The unexposed skin was warmer than the ambient air, making the leaves feel particularly cool in contrast.
Lu Tu pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek, but ultimately endured it without comment.
The estate was home to an astonishing number and variety of roses, blooming in every season.
In the early evening at the Rose Estate, the butler carried the young mistress through the corridor. The pre-sunset light was at its most gentle, casting a warm filter over everything, stretching their moving shadows to extraordinary lengths.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
