Suddenly, She heard footsteps from upstairs. She looked up and found it was Kerry.
“Your face has recovered.”
“How did everything go last night?”
They said to each other at the same time.
Venus touched her face and said: “Yes. The swelling is reduced. Tell me, how did you handle Xinyou
last night?”
Kerry rubbed his tired eyes and said: “I sent her back to her home in the village. She will never come
back to this city again.”
“Her home in the village?” Venus was a little bit surprised. She then said: “That’s good. Because she
can take care of her parents there.”
Kerry was shocked. He was just feeling sleepy, but his mind went clear in an instant when he heard
what she said. He looked at her closely and asked: “How do you know she has parents?”
Venus wanted to slap herself at that moment. “Why couldn’t I just keep my mouth shut.” She thought to
herself.
“I was just guessing. Her parents are dead? I don’t think so.” Venus explained herself calmly. “You said
you sent her back to her home in the village, so I thought her parents are must there.”
“Yeah. You are right. Her parents are there.” Kerry walked towards the kitchen. His mouth curved into a
smile.
Venus sighed inwardly with relief. This is probably the best outcome. She thought to herself. Xinyou
made every endeavour to get Kerry, but in the end, she was sent back to the village, to her starting
point, and all her efforts had been in vain. This is probably the best way to punish her.
The breakfast was delicious. Both Kerry and Venus believe Mrs Qin makes the best soup in the world.
Kerry looked at Venus while drinking the soup. He suddenly remembered the first question she asked
him was about Xinyou, instead of his sudden appearance in her apartment yesterday, which was quite
confusing.
“Yan, why don’t you ask me why did I appear in your apartment yesterday?” Kerry asked directly, and
he looked at her expression closely.
Venus froze, and her spoon was hanging in midair. She then recovered herself and acted as if she
suddenly remembered it. She said: “Oh, I almost forgot. Tell me. What happened?”
Kerry stirred the soup with his spoon. He put on a mysterious smile and said: “Actually, I am not an
earthling.”
Venus burst into laughter. She then noticed Kerry was rather serious, so she refrained her laughter and
asked: “So, are you an alien?”
“Aren’t you surprised?”
“I am surprised. But I do believe aliens exist in this universe. Just think about how huge the universe is!
There are numerous planets and earth can not be the only one that can sustain life.” Venus said
seriously. “So, tell me about your planet. Is it beautiful? Do you also have advanced civilization there?”
Kerry knew she was only joking with him. But he said: “These are all secrets. But the air on my planet
is much cleaner than the air here on earth.”
“What else?” Venus asked smilingly.
“And......” Kerry found their conversation rather silly and he also burst into laughter. He said: “Alright,
that’s enough. All I have are some special powers.”
Venus acted to be surprised. She asked a few other questions to which she already knew the answers,
and then they finally moved on to another topic.
“Are you going to the workroom today?” Kerry asked.
The workroom Kerry mentioned was a temporary work place rented by MK Company in the city. It is
near to Yehuang Group. Shixuan Tang and his team were often working there. Venus was a nominal
director of that company, so she needed to go to that workroom from time to time.
“No, I am not going. I had lots nightmares last night and I’m not feeling well.” Venus said. Actually, she
just wanted to search this villa when Kerry was absent.
Kerry wore a concerned expression. He nodded and said: “Fine. You should have a good rest. The
project is going very well, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
Venus nodded. She suddenly remembered Kerry’ s study. She said: “John told me your study is on the
third floor, but you won’t let anyone in. Can I take some books from your study? I am just bored.”
A flicker of a smile crossed his face. Even though she found the hidden cabinet, she couldn’t open it
without his finger print. He thought. So he said: “Sure. You can go in there. This villa is not the
Forbidden City. I’ll tell John about it.”
Venus’s eyes were alight with excitement. “Thank you! You are so nice!” She said.
Kerry went to work after breakfast. He told John about Venus’s request. But he added before he drove
away: “She can go where ever she wants. But tell me what she has been doing when I’m back.”
John was confused. He didn’t know what Kerry meant by saying that. Henry then whispered to him:
“Young master wants you to spy on her.”
“Aha! I see.” John said.
Venus walked out of the kitchen when Kerry drove away. She said to John: “John, can I go to the study
now?”
“Sure. Young master told me about it.” John said respectfully. But he didn’t know why Kerry wanted him
to spy on her. Kerry was rather nice to her, and also, she is the director of Hong Kong Company, and is
she looking for something in Ye Family? John thought to himself.
Venus went to the third floor at a brisk pace. The study was still the way it was. There were some
documents on the table. Venus looked at them, and found these were just some budgets about an
amusement park project, which she had no interest in.
Venus only searched the study roughly before. And this time, she had enough time and she would
search it thoroughly.
