Little Chen Xiaotian also struggled to stand up, supporting himself with his trembling little legs.

She reached out her small, fleshy hand to grab the hem of Yun Lian's clothes.

"Sister, me too."

"As long as my sister says to go east, I will never go west. From now on, Xiaotian will listen to my sister."

Yun Lian bent down and pinched Chen Xiaotian's cheek.

"But you said that if you don't behave in the future, your sister will definitely beat you."

"Xiao Tian promises to be obedient."

Yun Lian saw that the gauze on Huo Xi's hand was removed.

After inviting the family of three to dinner, he went to Huo Ye's side.

"Why did you take it off? Is your hand feeling better?"

Huo Ye's dim eyes suddenly shone with a brilliant light.

She cares about him.

Huo Ye rubbed his hands.

"I feel like I can barely move, but it's still not very convenient to be wrapped up like that."

If you have something to do outside, don't worry about me, Huo Xi will be back soon.

Yun Lian noticed that his tie was a little crooked.

I helped him straighten his tie.

Huo Ye was startled by her sudden closeness and unconsciously held his breath, glancing at her cautiously from time to time.

"It's alright. The flower shop was hit by a car and hasn't been renovated yet. I'm also free for the time being, so it's good that I can help you."

Huo Ye felt her hair being blown by the wind, gently floating on her neck, and her slender, slightly cool fingertips occasionally touching her skin.

Huo Ye tried hard to suppress his prying eyes at her, but when he lowered his gaze, he saw her flying fingers even more clearly.

Song Zhu arrived late after tidying up the bedroom. When she came downstairs, she noticed Yun Lian tying Huo Ye's tie. She paused for a moment, then quickened her pace.

"Xiao Yunyun, you're being unfair! I didn't even wear my tie, why aren't you helping me today?"

Yun Lian turned around at this moment and realized that he was already dressed.

Are you going out?

Song Zhu nodded.

"Uh-huh, I had to be reassigned at the last minute, so I can't be with you tonight."

Song Zhu openly and generously displayed his love.

Chao Yunlian acted coquettishly.

"I need a hug and comfort from my girlfriend."

Chen Xiaotian hid in a corner, covering his mouth and chuckling.

Zhang Lin smiled as she saw her son's silly expression and secretly pulled him into her arms.

Huo Ye silently took a half step back.

Yun Lian's tone was impatient, but she still complied with his request.

"You're such a grown-up, why do you still need hugs? Song Zhu, does your boss know how immature you are?"

Song Zhu gently nuzzled her ear.

"I only lose my composure in front of you."

Huo Ye held up his wristwatch.

"Aren't you going to finish dinner before you leave?"

Song Zhusong opened the clouds with pity.

"No, I'm leaving Xiaoyun in your care. Please take good care of her while I'm away."

Yun Lian gently punched his chest and smiled sweetly.

"I don't need your protection, I can protect myself."

Only a few minutes had passed when Song Zhu started making a barrage of calls.

Song Zhu could only hurriedly walk towards the door.

Yun Lian lost her appetite and felt uneasy all the time.

The family of three was very reserved; they only barely touched their chopsticks before stopping eating.

Seeing that Huo Ye had finished eating, Yun Lian said to him.

"Huo Ye, I'll take them to settle in. Remember, they can't get wet. Wait for me."

Huo Ye picked up his coat from the sofa and draped it over his shoulders.

“I’ll go with you. It’s getting dark too early lately, and it’s not safe for you to come back alone.”

Chen Hao and his family waved their hands repeatedly.

“Miss Yun, there’s no need to see us off. Just tell us where we’re going to work tomorrow. We’ve brought our luggage, and we can just find a hotel to stay in for the night.”

Yun Lian recalled the scene of the three of them lying on the ground on the top of the temple mountain.

"No need, I'm just taking you to your workplace. The storefront is big enough, and there's a living area in the back, so you don't need to waste money. You can stay there."

Chen Hao, a tough guy standing at 1.8 meters tall, had red eyes at this moment.

Since their son fell ill, they have witnessed too much of the coldness and warmth of the world.

Their relatives and friends avoided them like the plague, but Miss Yun, whom they had only met once, was so considerate of them.

"Thank you, Miss Yun. From now on, my life belongs to you."

Seeing that he was about to kneel down, Yun Lian quickly pulled him up.

"No, no, this is a society governed by law, it's not something that can cost you your life. If you really feel bad about it, then in the future, if you meet someone you can help, then help them out too."

Passing on this kindness is the best way for me to repay it.

"Okay, we will definitely do our best to help more people in the future."

Yun Lian brought the family of three to the flower shop.

The interior of the flower shop is almost finished; they're still working on the storefront.

Just as she was bumped into from the left and right, Yun Lian officially redesigned the flower shop's interior. Now, the flower shop resembles a primeval forest while also carrying a touch of childlike fun.

Yun Lian could almost imagine what the flower shop would look like after it opened to customers.

The two helped the family of three carry their luggage into the flower shop.

Yun Lian gave her instructions.

"I'm free for now. The flower shop is under renovation. Once it's finished, your job is to help me open the shop and we'll split the profits 50/50."

How about this?

Zhang Lin paused in her movements as she carried her luggage, and repeatedly refused.

“Ms. Yun, this is not appropriate. You have already done us a great favor by providing us with jobs and accommodations. You don’t need to share the profits with us.”

Chen Hao responded in agreement.

"Yes, Miss Yun, my husband and I said that these three years belong to you, so why would you need to share the profits with us?"

Don't be shy, just ask us to do anything we can.

“I’ve handed the shop over to you to manage, and I’ve done almost nothing. Xiao Xiaotian’s follow-up treatment will also be a considerable expense, so there’s no need to say more. If you are unwilling to accept this, then I will find other professional agents to manage the flower shop for me.”
