Mei Shan stared at the cell phone lying not far away as if she had seen a ghost, her face full of fear.
Did she have a nightmare again? Otherwise, why did she hear Egbert's voice? Aren't the curse and nightmare over? !
Suddenly, a bell rang. Mei Shan's body trembled and she subconsciously grabbed a pillow beside her.
She bit her lip and dared not touch the phone, but the phone was soon connected automatically, and Egbert's gentle and sweet voice came clearly from the other end of the phone.
"I'll come find you right away, wait for me."
"ah!"
Hearing Meishan's scream on the phone, Qin Feichang sat up from the bed and calmly took the phone that Egbert had hung up. She picked up her clothes and put them on, and someone hugged her waist from behind.
"Isn't she your 'good friend'? Why don't you care when she's so scared?"
Qin Feichang thought for a moment that he was a scumbag who was caught by his wife having an affair with another woman. She buttoned her clothes and said, "You are their psychological shadow. Now more contact is desensitization treatment."
This may be a good thing for them.
Based on the memory fragments she had seen from Egbert before, she had quietly searched for a lot of information during this period of time, found out the origins of the cursed family, and almost guessed the ins and outs of the curse incident.
The Rose Manor on Tomani Island was destroyed by another great nobleman who was fighting for power. After his army and small nobles arrived at Tomani Island, they burned, killed and looted, killing the people who lived on the island at that time and stole a lot of jewelry, gold and silver, but these people were unable to escape unscathed.
Many of them suddenly went crazy and killed each other. There were about a thousand people who landed on the island at first, but less than half of them managed to escape by boat.
Afterwards, most of those who managed to escape hid themselves and kept the place of Tomani Island a secret, never mentioning it again. As a result, Tomani Island became silent in history.
Their descendants relied on the treasures they brought from the island to make their own living, and over the next hundred years they scattered and developed their own businesses.
Three hundred years later, there are only about fifty families left who had been to Tomani Island and participated in the massacre.
It is not known whether Egbert did it on purpose or due to his limited ability, but every time he allowed someone to enter the world of the ruined castle, he would only select one person from the bloodline of that family, so that those families would continue to this day.
Qin had guessed early on that even if they left Tomani Island, Egbert would not let these people go. It was just that he seemed tired of the simple and crude killing game, so he gave them a chance to breathe.
So she said that being found by Egbert was not a bad thing. At least now he was not as ruthless as he was on the island.
Without the influence of the dead air and ghost resentment that had accumulated on the island over the years, she believed that unless Egbert was greatly provoked, he would basically not go on a killing spree, and these young people would not be in danger of their lives.
There's nothing wrong with being tortured by him for a while just treating it as a social experience.
We are all friends, and there is no problem in bearing the torture of the curse together.
In addition, Qin often received messages from young people during this period, and their attitudes were a bit too enthusiastic. She did not want these young people to rely on faith as a spiritual sustenance, which was not a normal and healthy mental state.
Let Egbert help them with the treatment.
In a word: let them torture each other and don't affect her work.
Thanks to Mei Shan's phone call that led Egbert away, Qin Feichang had several more days to devote to her work. She was very efficient and had rich experience, so she quickly established her first game company in a commercial building.
Because of her busy work, she almost slept in the company recently, and for a moment she forgot about the existence of Egbert.
One day, the work finally came to an end. She ordered afternoon tea and invited the company's employees to have it together. She was sitting by the window enjoying this rare leisure time. Suddenly, an employee stared blankly out the window and exclaimed.
“Wow, so handsome!”
"What's so handsome... Wow? So handsome!"
They were all young people. Upon hearing what was said, they all ran to the window and looked down. Many of them were squeezed against the glass.
Qin had a premonition, and she looked downstairs, holding her coffee cup. She saw a white horse galloping down the wide street, with a young man in riding clothes sitting on it.
Egbert, wearing the standard riding clothes of the little prince, rode over on a white horse in such a swaggering manner. His natural posture seemed as if he was galloping on a horse farm, not on a busy street.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the style changed again. This appearance surprised Qin even more than the trendy hip-hop style last time.
She almost spit out the coffee in her mouth, but she managed to hold it back, with only a trickle of coffee flowing down from the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, the others were busy looking at the handsome boy, so no one noticed her gaffe.
Silently wiping the corners of his mouth, Qin Feichang heard the young employees around him excitedly shouting "how handsome he is". He put down his coffee cup and pointed out calmly: "He rode a horse on the street, which must have violated the traffic safety law."
The girl was busy taking a video with her phone, and was worried about the inexplicable distortion of the picture. When she heard what she said, she subconsciously made up an excuse for the handsome boy on horseback below, "He looks so good, he must be a star, is he taking street photos?"
She said this casually, and was busy fiddling with her phone, mumbling over why she couldn't take any pictures.
"Besides, there aren't many people on the road here, so it's okay to ride a horse," said another employee.
The street below is not a busy main street. There are mostly office buildings here. Most of the people walking on the roadside are people who work nearby. Now they are standing on the roadside, looking at the beautiful boy riding by on horseback, and expressing their unrestrained admiration.
The people in this world were much more fanatical about beauty than those in her previous world, and they did not like to be subtle when it came to their feelings.
Listening to the employees' praise and yearning, Qin Feichang pressed his forehead and suddenly reacted the next second.
Egbert must have come here to see her. She quickly looked at the office next to her and said seriously, "Put away all the breakable items quickly, put the expensive items in the drawer, and keep all the documents in backup!"
The employees who were busy looking at Prince Charming were confused: "Huh?"
At Qin Feichang's request, the office was in a state of chaos. Just as everything was ready, the glass door was pushed open and Egbert came in with his boots on.
Fortunately, he didn't bring the horse up with him, which Qin really wanted.
Seeing Eggbert's face up close, the eyes of more than a dozen employees who were tortured by the high-intensity work and had dull eyes suddenly lit up. Oh my God, this appearance is so shocking that it is unbearable!
The boy's slenderness and transparency are combined with another more unique temperament in him, a perfect temperament and a perfect face.
Some beauties are like vivid flowers, but Egbert is more like an exquisite flower frozen in a frame, stuck in the most beautiful posture, pleasing to the eye and very confusing.
Regardless of the whispers and excitement of the rest of the people in the office, Egbert walked past them, came to Qin Feichang and gave her a kiss.
The onlookers widened their eyes and grabbed their companions next to them: "Ah!!!"
It's her boyfriend! It's the boss' boyfriend! As expected of their most powerful boss, she can get such a beautiful boyfriend! I'm so jealous!
Qin Feichang heard the sound of mobile phone cameras clicking non-stop and wondered why they were still taking pictures when they clearly tried to take them but failed.
After a kiss, he let her go and Egbert leaned against the desk, his hands that were best suited for playing the piano resting on her computer: "I'm back."
"Yeah." Qin Feichang took the mirror and looked at her lipstick that had been kissed off a little, then looked at Egbert. His lips were naturally red, and the lipstick on his lips was not even as bright as the color of his lips themselves.
Egbert noticed her gaze and licked his lips. His expression was so innocent and pure that someone who didn't know him might really think he was a naive little prince.
"Why don't you ask me how I've been doing these days?"
Qin Feichang glanced at his riding clothes and said, "You look like you're doing well."
She had heard Meishan brag about her family's horse farm a long time ago and had always wanted to invite her to go there and have a go. Now it seemed that Egbert was having a great time there and even brought back someone's horse.
Listening to their conversation, the employees' faces twisted. The boss is too cold to her boyfriend! She is simply not a human being. She coaxes and kisses such a perfect boyfriend! What kind of emotionless reaction is this? No, let me do it!
"Send the horse back. We don't have a stable for you to raise a horse at home."
Hearing the boss say this, everyone's expressions got out of control again.
Buy! Buy a horse farm! Buy everything!
The boss probably heard their thoughts and looked towards them. Although the boss was young, the employees who had just joined the company had already begun to admire her intelligence and skills. At this moment, they were all calmed down by her cold eyes, sat back in their seats with a guilty conscience, and pricked up their ears to pretend to work.
"Would you like to go riding together?" asked Egbert.
"No, I don't have time. You can go by yourself, or I can ask someone to play with you." Qin Feichang began to consider who to choose next to play with among the fifty people in the chat room.
Egbert's smile disappeared. He stared at Qin Feichang for a while, then turned and left without saying a word.
Employees: “…” Ah, are you angry?!
Seeing the handsome boy leave, the boss still sat firmly in his seat and continued to work as if nothing had happened. One employee couldn't help but ask: "Boss, is your boyfriend angry? Why don't you comfort him?"
Qin Feichang looked at the computer screen with a barely perceptible smile in his eyes, "No need."
What a hard-hearted boss! The employees sighed in their hearts, feeling extremely sorry for the little beauty just now.
They don't know that their ruthless boss's computer interface is not work, but a shopping website. She is searching for jeweled hairpins and headbands.
People are so strange. If you are always treated gently, you may not feel anything. If you are always indifferent, but occasionally show a little gentleness and care, it can be very attractive.
As early as when she found out in the ruined castle that the experimental headband she had casually given away was used by Egbert to tie his hair, she knew how she should treat him.
She seemed indifferent and didn't care much, but she had actually studied and observed Egbert carefully, thinking about his behavior day and night, analyzing his psychology, and simulating the way of getting along with him. She had put a lot of thought into subduing such a troublesome person, and now, it was beginning to work.
Neither being too indulgent nor being too tough is good. Being close yet not too distant is most suitable for him.
However, Qin Feichang looked at the shopping interface with a little disdain. This shopping website was far inferior to her world and was inconvenient to use. When the investment was recovered and the company started to make a profit, she would prepare to enter the field of online shopping.
She really enjoyed her work, and it was much easier than it was for Egbert.
