In the evening, Xu Wan finished her work early and drove past the subway station when she saw the proprietress, Ling Ya, standing at the door arranging bouquets.

It was evening, and the setting sun cast its rays down, illuminating the woman's fair skin and her light red floral dress.

He is clearly in his fifties, but looks like he is in his thirties or forties.

It's obvious that she had a good life for the first few decades of her life.

Xu Wan pulled the car over to the side of the road, walked a few steps to the shop entrance, and said to Ling Ya, "Manager, thank you for the flowers you sent me at noon."

"Attorney Xu, are you off work?" Ling Ya put down the flowers in her hand and smiled. "You are my first annual card customer. There's no need to thank me for giving you a bouquet. Since you're here, tell me what kind of bouquet you like, and I'll help you put together a bouquet according to your preferences."

"May I?"

“I already told you, you’re my first annual card customer, and you’ve helped me before, so I’ll do anything for you.”

Lingya reached out and pulled Xu Wan into the shop, first introducing her to the flowers in the shop, and then giving her a catalog with various flowers and plants that could be ordered.

When Xu Wan looked around, she noticed a small cubicle in the flower shop where Ling Ya's youngest son, Sen Sen, was sitting and writing something.

When Sen Sen saw Xu Wan, she came out with her notebook.

After the two finished discussing business, Sen Sen tugged at Xu Wan's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Xu Wan, I have a question I don't know how to answer. Could you help me with it?"

"Okay, let my sister take a look."

Xu Wan smiled and squatted down, taking the booklet from Sen Sen's hand.

This is a Sudoku book. The page that Sen Sen is working on so far is not the most difficult, but it is already quite challenging for Sen Sen's age.

"I've filled this out, and I've checked it several times, but I still can't find the mistake."

Sen Sen pointed to a page of Sudoku puzzles. The numbers were filled in, but two were empty.

Xu Wan glanced at it and pointed to a number, saying, "This one is filled in wrong."

Sen Sen tilted his head, clearly not understanding.

Xu Wan patiently explained it to her, and Sen Sen finally understood.

After the child corrected the numbers and finished filling in all the answers, Xu Wan didn't forget to comfort him: "This question is really easy to confuse people. For someone your age to be able to solve it to this extent is already very good."

"Really? Really?"

Sen Sen looked at Xu Wan, her eyes sparkling like black pearls.

"Of course!" Xu Wan patted Xiao Sensen's head. "You're very smart, you'll definitely be amazing when you grow up!"

"Really?"

Sen Sen confirmed it again.

"Of course! You'll definitely be outstanding when you grow up!"

Xu Wan told him in a reassuring tone.

Lingya finished tidying up the flowers outside and overheard the conversation between the two when she came in. She said, "Sensen's brother has been smart since he was little, so his father always discouraged him. He doesn't believe me when I tell him he's smart. He just needs someone like you who can affirm him. You're welcome to come visit more often."

When Lingya mentioned Brother Sen Sen, Sen Sen pouted slightly, his expression full of unhappiness.

Although Xu Wan has no siblings, she has the same experience from Dong Yuanyuan.

Dong Yuanyuan can play musical instruments, dance, and sing. At every family gathering, she wears a pretty little dress and looks like a little princess.

Back then, whenever I saw her at night, I would feel inferior.

She looked at Sen Sen, who looked aggrieved, poked the little boy's chubby cheeks, and laughed, "Everyone has their own strengths. I bet your brother isn't as cute or as likable as you."

Sen Sen was happy for only a second before she immediately said, "But you don't know my brother. Everyone says my brother is also very good-looking, although I think he's just average-looking."

“I don’t know him, but I can guarantee he’s not as cute as you,” Xu Wan said confidently.

After listening for a while, Ling Ya said, "Attorney Xu, how about I ask my eldest son when he's free, and I'll arrange for you to meet?"
