Xia Chao set three days as the departure date for Ji Mian. Ji Mian would leave the Xia family. If he could complete the mission, he would naturally be able to return to the Xia family; if not…

Xia Chao was gambling that Feng Guang could forget Ji Mian, and Ji Mian was also gambling that no matter how much time passed, Feng Guang would still keep him in his heart.

As Xia Chao said, Ji Mian is still too young. His methods might actually bankrupt others, but he is facing Xia Chao. If Ji Mian is a fox, then Xia Chao is an old fox.

The old fox's power is already mature and stable, while the young fox is only in its initial stage.

Apart from Feng Guang and Ji You, none of the members of the Xia family are ordinary people.

"Brother is leaving?" Upon hearing the news that Ji Mian was leaving, Feng Guang grabbed his hand in the living room and questioned him.

Ji Mian grasped her hand in return, "I'll be back soon."

"But...but didn't you say you weren't busy? I thought you'd stay home with me..."

"When I come back, I can stay with Fengguang forever."

"When will my brother be able to come back?"

"I can only promise Fengguang that I will do it as soon as possible." Seeing her disappointed look, Ji Mian couldn't help but lower her head and kiss the corner of her lips. "Fengguang, I'll take you somewhere."

She blushed and nodded, "Okay..."

He took her hand and led her towards the back of the courtyard. The scenery was hidden from view, so she didn't know where he was taking her. However, she guessed that they couldn't leave the Xia family mansion. But in an instant, the fragrance that wafted over her made her suspicious again.

She looked up excitedly, "It smells like flowers!"

“It’s the scent of flowers.” Ji Mian’s lips curled into a smile. “This is the greenhouse.”

"A greenhouse? I don't remember having a greenhouse at home."

“It didn’t exist before, but it does now. This greenhouse was built for Fengguang by me, and I planted these flowers myself. Does Fengguang like the scent of the flowers?”

"I love it!" She spun around in place, and sure enough, no matter which direction she was in, there was a rich fragrance of flowers. "Brother must have planted a lot of flowers and wasted a lot of time."

Ji Mian suddenly scooped her up in his arms and carried her through the vibrant flowers and vines. His pace was slow, and as they passed through different areas, she could smell several different floral scents. One of her hands gripped the hem of his clothes, her small face filled with surprise and joy. He admired her changing expressions and finally kissed her forehead. "It wasn't a waste of time. Everything spent on Feng Guang was worth it."

"Brother... thank you..." Her eyes curved into lovely crescent moons, and she was indeed overjoyed to see him.

But Ji Mian was not satisfied.

He held her as they sat on the white bench at the end of the greenhouse, his fingers unconsciously brushing against the corner of her eye. "If you could see... the scenery would be even more beautiful."

When he said this, he was extremely gentle, even to an eerie degree.

Li Bai is dead, but among those who caused her blindness are Xiao You and himself.

Feng Guang suddenly buried her head in his chest, her voice muffled, "Brother... I once wanted to be a painter."

“I know.” He gently stroked her head, his expression unreadable, and answered softly, “Fengguang’s wish is to become a painter and go to the Netherlands to paint the tulip fields.”
