Gu's Manor covered an area of thousands of acres. The outer courtyard had its own garden, golf course, open-air swimming pool and so on. There was even a parking apron specially prepared for Gu Ting so that he could take a private plane abroad to work at any time.
Li Xiu led the way and Qiao An'an followed her, after Qiao An'an followed a young maid-like girl named Xiao Tian and a bodyguard named Shi San.
Xiao Tian and Shi San would be Qiao An'an's personal servants afterwards.
During this period, Qiao An'an had mentioned that she did not need any bodyguards to follow her when visiting Gu's Manor. But Li Xiu said that this was a request from Gu Ting. If she wanted to go out, she would need at least three bodyguards. Qiao An'an couldn’t say anything about this.
There was a Rose House in Gu's Manor. The roses bloomed wantonly in the greenhouse regardless of the season. Large patches of fiery red spread out in front of them. The light pink and bright red overlapped with each other and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of rose.
The bright colors contrasted sharply with the black, white and gray colors that Gu Ting liked in his room. Qiao An'an thought of his office, and remembered that there was also an oil painting of rose hanging behind his desk.
Gu Ting turned out to be fond of rose.
Qiao An'an couldn't help but tease, "I didn't expect Gu Ting to be so romantic. Does he take care of all these roses?"
"Yes, Madam. He loves rose very much and will love to work in the rose room when he is free. These bunches of rose are all planted by himself. He will also strictly control the temperature and humidity of the Rose House. Look at these roses, they can bloom all year round."
Qiao An'an was in a good mood when she saw the roses in the room.
She liked roses with thorns very much.
They were so fragile and delicate, but they grew up crazily in the barren land, which were both desirable and admirable.
Qiao An'an recalled her poor childhood. Her life had been difficult and poor.
Only the red of rose was a rare background color in her thin memory.
At that time, there was an uncommon rose wall in the park two streets away from her home.
She always walked three kilometers more on her way home from school just to see the sea of roses in the park. The pink and red flowers bloomed in the green curtain-like leaves, which made the world look unique and romantic.
Later in winter, roses fell all over the ground. Qiao An'an was so childish and stupid then that she carved three petal-shaped scars on her left wrist with a utility knife. Since then, they became an eternal rose mark on her body.
That was her belief when she was desperate.
To her surprise, when Qiao An'an looked at her wrist, she found that after she entered the book, the mark on her left hand was exactly the same as that in the real world. It should be a birthmark of the original figure in the book.
What a coincidence.
The manor was divided into two parts, the East Zone and the West Zone. The East Zone was the main building, and the West Zone was the secondary building. The East Zone was where Gu Ting and Qiao An'an lived, as well as some of the servants who were expected to be on call, such as the housekeeper Li Xiu. They all lived in the main building.
As for the West Zone, there lived a work team that did not need to be at the owner's disposal 24 hours a day.
"This is your nutritionist, chef, massager, yoga teacher and the home doctor who are on standby 24 hours a day. If you need to go out, this is your stylist team as well as your driver and bodyguard team."
There were more than 20 people standing in front of her in the hall of the West Zone. Li Xiu introduced them one by one, which dazzled Qiao An'an. There were too many people. She didn't even know what each of them did.
Li Xiu noticed her worries and comforts, "Don't worry. If you need anything, just tell me or Xiao Tian. We will arrange everything for you."
