The next morning, Jiang Hua slowly opened her sleepy eyes and saw that the sofa was empty. She called out to her several times, but no one answered.

Qi Yanxu got up very early in the morning and drove to the suburbs to buy Jiang Hua some all-natural green roasted sweet potatoes and other green foods.

Seeing that no one was around, Jiang Hua started searching room by room until she found the bathroom. Qi Yanxu had thoughtfully prepared all the toiletries Jiang Hua needed in the bathroom and placed them there.

Jiang Hua smiled knowingly. She hadn't expected Qi Yanxu, usually so carefree, to have learned to take care of people so meticulously. But Jiang Hua still longed for Gu Yiming to come find her; she still loved Gu Yiming, not anyone else.

"I'm back!" Qi Yanxu returned with a full load, bringing back all-natural green vegetables and other produce.

"Where did you go?" Jiang Hua came out of the bathroom after washing up.

I saw that Qi Yanxu had vegetables, fruits, and a chicken.

"Why did you buy all this? Do you know how to cook it?" Jiang Hua walked over and looked at the contents of the basket.

"Isn't this something you can do?" Qi Yanxu put the things in the kitchen and washed his hands.

Jiang Hua's vegetables were clearly from the suburbs; the signs there were so eye-catching that it would probably take two hours to drive there.

It's past eight o'clock now, so I guess Qi Yanxu must have gotten up at four.

Jiang Hua got up at four o'clock, before dawn, to buy groceries. Of course, she couldn't let Qi Yanxu's kindness go to waste, so she cooked a delicious meal for him to enjoy.

Today, Qi Yanxu took a day off to sample Jiang Hua's cooking. Qi Yanxu just had a quick breakfast, but Jiang Hua's breakfast was not to be taken lightly. He prepared milk, whole wheat bread, and a fruit salad for Jiang Hua.

After enjoying her meal, Jiang Hua quickly prepared lunch for the day.

At noon sharp, lunch was ready. Qi Yanxu followed the aroma of the dishes and walked into the kitchen with his eyes closed. It was almost like a full-course Manchu Han Imperial Feast attracting Qi Yanxu.

"It smells so good! I want to eat it!" Qi Yanxu immediately turned into a glutton and quickly picked up the vegetables and ate them with relish.

Jiang Hua was also very happy. After all, it was his own cooking, and he felt proud that others accepted it so well.

"By the way, I have a villa in the suburbs. If you're obedient, I'll take you there and we can go for a walk!" Qi Yanxu pretended to be reluctant after seeing the Manchu Han Imperial Feast that Jiang Hua had worked so hard to prepare that morning.

"Really? I want to go!" Jiang Hua stood up excitedly upon hearing the news.

Seeing Jiang Hua's excited expression, Qi Yanxu felt it was all worth it, even though he hadn't slept well the night before and had gotten up at 3 a.m. It was all worth it.

Qi Yanxu kept putting food on Jiang Hua's plate, and Jiang Hua finally seemed to have adapted to life here. Everything here wasn't as bad as Jiang Hua had imagined.

"Let's go tomorrow, okay! Gu Yiming still keeps me locked up at home." Jiang Hua hummed softly.

Qi Yanxu heard this and kept chuckling to himself. Jiang Hua heard this and took the food that Qi Yanxu had just picked up back.

"If you behave and listen to me, I'll take you there tomorrow." Qi Yanxu looked at Jiang Hua pouting, secretly smiling to himself.

“I’m a person of principle. If you do anything that crosses the line, I won’t agree to it.” Jiang Hua was certainly not a fool to let Qi Yanxu do as he pleased.

The next day, Jiang Hua also got up very early and excitedly packed everything she needed to bring.

In the hazy morning, a thick fog blanketed the ground, and glistening dewdrops fell on the emerald green leaves. The road was clear, and birds sang their own cheerful songs. The fresh air made Jiang Hua incredibly happy.

"Where do you want to go later? To see the autumn leaves or go hiking?" Qi Yanxu asked Jiang Hua, tilting his head as he drove.

Romantic music played in the car, and Jiang Hua was in a great mood. She hummed a little tune, her face beaming.

"Anything is fine. We can go see the maple leaves and then go up the mountain to see the wildflowers." Jiang Hua hummed a little tune, in a very good mood.

The bright red maple leaves fluttered in the wind, and Jiang Hua stood on the path of maple leaves, looking like a figure in a painting. Qi Yanxu wanted to pick up his camera to capture this beautiful moment.

This is the scene Qi Yanxu wanted most: beautiful maple leaves fluttering in the air, and the most beautiful person in the painting—it's absolutely gorgeous!

"The maple leaves here are very beautiful, and they are even more beautiful in autumn, like a sunset." Qi Yanxu suddenly became serious.

"I think it looks even prettier now. I want to go see the flowers later!" Jiang Hua turned around, revealing a sweet smile and white teeth.

She was like an angel in white. Coincidentally, Jiang Hua was wearing a white dress today, which blended perfectly with the bright red maple leaves, making her stand out exceptionally.

"Can you really climb a mountain with your body like that?" Qi Yanxu was somewhat skeptical of Jiang Hua, who was pregnant, but seeing how relaxed she looked, he felt that she really wasn't suited to being restrained.

"Of course! Don't underestimate me!" Jiang Hua walked in front of Qi Yanxu, hopping around in front of him like a cheerful sparrow.

Qi Yanxu thought to himself: Gu Yiming, you really don't understand her. She's not suited to being imprisoned. She needs a free sky for her to soar in. If you love her, then soar with her!

Qi Yanxu knew that Jiang Hua's heart was already deeply planted in Gu Yiming's heart, and no matter what, it could never be taken back. These past few days, with Gu Yiming away, she would often look at photos of herself and Gu Yiming, always with that happy smile on her face, which Qi Yanxu noticed. Sometimes she would also look at their chat history, laughing as she read it.

She hasn't been happy much these past few days. Although it's not obvious, Qi Yanxu wrote that Jiang Hua wasn't happy. If Gu Yiming had taken her out for a walk or a hike today, she would probably be a hundred or a thousand times happier than she is now!

"These wildflowers are so beautiful! I want to pick them and put them in my house!" Jiang Hua happily walked among the wildflowers and picked bunch after bunch of beautiful wildflowers.

Qi Yanxu knew that it didn't refer to his home at all, but to Gu Yiming's home.

After their sightseeing trip, Qi Yanxu took Jiang Hua to his mountain villa to enjoy the delicious food there. He then took her for a walk in the surrounding area, letting her listen to the melodious and clear sound of the flute drifting down from the mountains.
