I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 869 - Dream 1
Chapter 869: Chapter 869 Dream 1
Bai Youwei walked into the glowing square, inside everything was shrouded in white, no different than whenever she entered the labyrinth.
She continued to walk inward.
Gradually, the fog dispersed, and she could feel the smooth asphalt beneath her feet, the air in her nostrils becoming moist. Proceeding forward, she then saw a massive European-style iron gate standing before her.
The gate was magnificent and grand, with each iron bar standing straight, intertwined with openwork rose patterns, lavish and stately.
To either side of the gate were tall courtyard walls.
Beyond that, there were only trees.
Poplar, elm, birch, cherry trees… and many others that Bai Youwei could not name.
Bai Youwei saw a display screen on the column beside the gate; she walked over and pressed the call button.
After a moment, two security guards came over, one of whom, through the gate, asked her identity.
Bai Youwei handed over her friend’s invitation card for them to see.
The security guard looked at the invitation card, initially puzzled, but then as if the settings in his brain were altered, his expression suddenly changed, and smiling, he said,
“So you’re the young lady’s friend, Miss Bai, please come in.”
The security guard opened the iron gate, invited Bai Youwei in, and with respect said, “Miss Bai, please wait a moment.”
He took out a walkie-talkie and spoke to someone on the other end, “…send a car over, the young lady’s friend has arrived… yes, right at the main gate.”
Bai Youwei couldn’t help but reflect: The place was truly vast, to the point where transportation was needed even from the entrance.
After a short wait, indeed, a white four-seater car arrived, similar to those electric cars found on golf courses, and very elegantly designed.
The car drove up slowly, stopping in front of Bai Youwei, with the chauffeur nodding and giving a polite bow.
Bai Youwei got in, and the car returned on the same path.
After passing through a patch of forest road dappled with sunlight, the scenery suddenly opened up; a vast and flat green lawn extended all the way to the estate in the distance, quite spectacular.
But…
Although beautiful, living here felt somewhat cut off from the world, inevitably lonely.
Considering Fu Miaoxue’s capricious personality, Bai Youwei found it hard to imagine her living in such a secluded place, almost devoid of human touch.
A few minutes later, Bai Youwei arrived at the entrance of the front hall.
A maid dressed in a uniform was there to greet her, inviting her in while saying,
“The young lady is in a lesson, please take a seat for a while.”
Bai Youwei followed her inside, curiously examining her surroundings.
How should she put it? The place could almost be described as dazzling with splendor… and it was that kind of old-fashioned luxury, one that conjures thoughts of decay and decadence.
Dark red velvet drapes overlapped intricately, a set of silverware glistened, candelabras, a fireplace, cocoon chairs, and an expensive, exquisite cashmere rug that seemed like a thick ink painting spread across the floor tiles—
The servants around held their breath and silenced their movements, adding a hint of oppression to this massive and silent building.
Bai Youwei sat in the parlor sipping tea from a beautiful enamel porcelain cup, thinking: Indeed, this is a dreamscape; there was no taste at all to the tea.
So this building, as well as the security guards and maids, must all be simulations created by the labyrinth.
She had to consider, once she saw Fu Miaoxue, how to speak to her. She couldn’t be too blunt, nor too indirect… She needed to make Fu Miaoxue willing to leave this place.
Tap, tap, tap, tap—
The crisp sound of footsteps approached.
Bai Youwei raised her eyes to look; a delicate girl dressed in a debutante’s gown was walking towards her.
There were indeed differences between mannequins and real people, Bai Youwei stared for a moment before she recognized Fu Miaoxue.
She seemed to be holding back anger, and even through the thick carpet, her high heels made clear sounds.

“Miss, please mind your manners.”
Behind Fu Miaoxue, a tall middle-aged woman reminded her.
Fu Miaoxue bit her lip, her eyes full of defiance, but she did soften the force in her steps, walking with a cold face until she reached Bai Youwei.
