The glass greenhouse was enormous, and Xiao Anman, who was being held in Gu Tingxiao's arms, was immediately captivated by the lush and vibrant flowers before her.

Compared to other children, Xiao Anman is actually a bit of a natural airhead. Unlike others, she doesn't have many expressions and doesn't cry or fuss over the slightest grievance or provocation.

Even when faced with food she doesn't like, people who don't know her well might not be able to detect her emotions.

Even now, Gu Tingxiao looked at Xiao Anman in his arms. Although his face did not show a particularly happy expression, his big eyes lit up instantly. He knew that she probably liked this kind of colorful scenery. This could already be seen from her love of cartoons.

"Is it pretty, An'an?"

When Gu Tingxiao spoke to Xiao Anman, his voice was always exceptionally soft. Several times, Zhou, the assistant who was delivering documents to Gu Tingxiao in the office, accidentally overheard his boss talking to Xiao Anman and thought he was hallucinating.

You should know that in the eyes of many of his female colleagues, Gu Tingxiao is the kind of domineering, aloof CEO.

When did he become the neighborhood dad?

Unfortunately, Assistant Zhou lacked foresight and didn't realize that his boss, Mr. Gu, was a complete doting father when it came to his daughter.

Just like now.

Xiao Anman pointed with her little finger to the nearest white hydrangea peony, then turned back to look at Gu Tingxiao with longing eyes.

He immediately knew that Xiao Anman had taken a liking to her.

The hydrangea peony chosen by Xiao Anman is like snow reflecting the morning glow. Although the color is a bit plain, its posture is beautiful and its quality is extraordinary. If it were sold on the market, a pot of it would sell for at least 80,000 yuan.

However, Gu Tingxiao was not one to cherish flowers. After having someone bring a box to put the blue butterfly in his hand away, he carried Xiao Anman forward and generously picked the expensive hydrangea peony.

"Now we are safe and sound."

Gu Tingxiao didn't think anything of placing the flowers in Xiao An's delicate little hands, but the person in charge of the flower room next to him was speechless.

The flowers here are mostly not open to the public or for sale; they are all grown by the Gu family at their own expense for their own enjoyment. Not many people usually visit the flower shop, and only one or two members of the Gu family are interested in flowers.

One of them was the old man who owned the land.

The hydrangea peony that Gu Tingxiao casually plucked was named 'Zhaoxue'. It was one of the varieties that Old Master Gu liked quite a bit. There was only this one in full bloom in the greenhouse right now, and it was originally intended to be sent to Old Master Gu.

However, since Old Master Gu was getting old, his servants thought that good things come in pairs, so they planned to wait until another pair of hydrangea peonies of this quality appeared and send them to the Gu family's old residence.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tingxiao picked such a precious flower without asking any questions and casually gave it to the little girl in his arms.

Little Anman's world doesn't yet have a concept of social status, but she was very happy to receive the pretty flowers.

Specifically, after receiving so many hydrangeas and peonies, she stopped holding Gu Tingxiao and instead put her two little paws together to hug the pure white peony.

Perhaps because she was a little girl, she was born with a love for beauty. Xiao Anman held the many peony flowers in her hands, sniffed them with her little nose, and did not let go of them as she followed Gu Tingxiao deeper into the flower room.

Outside the glass door of the greenhouse at this moment

A young male voice rang out, "...Didn't you say you like flowers? This is our Gu family's private flower room. Let me take you in to have a look and pick some out."

"Young Master Nan."

"Hmm, why don't you open the door when you see me?"

"This... Mr. Gu is inside."

Mr. Gu? Isn't everyone in the Gu family Mr. Gu? Mr. Gu who can come here isn't an outsider, so why are the people in the flower shop being so hesitant?

Gu Qinan looked surprised, pulled his arm away from his new girlfriend's hand, and asked uncertainly, "Could it be my uncle?"

The person in the greenhouse shook their head: "It's that person."

hiss

Gu Qinan gasped. Could it be? What kind of day is this? To run into her busy uncle in a place like this?!

The girl in the white dress next to him looked puzzled: "Brother Nan, what's wrong? Aren't we going in?"

To be honest, Gu Qinan had already given up when he found out that the person inside was Gu Tingxiao, but when the girl next to him looked at him with expectant eyes, he hesitated again.

Xiao Rou was the girl he had pursued for the longest time since he went to college. He was quite satisfied with her, and it was he who suggested bringing her to Baiyun Villa today. If he just left like this, he would lose face.

I gritted my teeth. The greenhouse is so big; even if I got in, I might not run into it.

Thinking this through, Gu Qinan felt confident: "We won't disturb my uncle if we go in. Open the door."

The people in the greenhouse were in a bit of a dilemma.

Logically speaking, since they are all members of the Gu family, it wouldn't be a problem for them to go in. However, there are different levels of status within the Gu family. If Gu Qinan goes in and displeases Mr. Gu, wouldn't it be someone else who suffers the consequences?

"Young Master Nan, perhaps we should consult the master first?"

One of the flower shop managers, caught in a dilemma, said cautiously.

If it were anyone else in this situation, and the people in the flower shop dared to try and save face for him, Gu Qinan would have given them a piece of his mind on the spot. But because the person in the flower shop was none other than the current head of the Gu family, even if Gu Qinan was outspoken, he wouldn't dare to offend him.

Thinking this to himself, Gu Qinan could only conclude that he was just unlucky today, so he agreed to the suggestion from the person in charge of the flower shop.

In the greenhouse

Gu Qinan?

The Gu family has many younger generations, but Gu Qinan is the only child that Gu Tingxiao remembers because he is the only child his sister has had for so many years.

Because of her likable personality, Grandma Gu doted on her very much.

Looking at the little baby in his arms, Gu Tingxiao wasn't afraid that the Gu family would find out about her existence. They would find out sooner or later anyway, so it didn't matter if they saw her now.

So he waved to the person in charge of the greenhouse who was with him: "Let him in."
