Chapter 207 The Flower Has Grown

Xiao Xuanjin played chess with his father-in-law for a while. Later, Su Boren had something urgent to do and was called away by the secretary.

Xiao Xuanjin took out his cell phone and saw the message Su Mi left for him. She said she was going out to meet Gu Mucheng.

She now reported her itinerary to him in detail, frankly and directly.

Putting away his phone, Xiao Xuanjin walked out of the study, went downstairs, and walked out to the courtyard.

The layout of the Su Mansion is actually similar to the Jinhua Residence he built, but he has never visited the Su Mansion like this.

Since he had nothing to do anyway, he decided to take a walk around.

Before I knew it, I walked along the path and arrived at the glass greenhouse.

Because Jiangcheng has a warm and suitable climate, the flowers and plants here grow particularly lush, with a very natural green fragrance.

He looked around and saw butterflies fluttering among the neatly trimmed flowers and plants. It was as if he was whispering to them. The picture was particularly vivid, full of original vitality and vigor.

There were matching white tables and chairs in the glass greenhouse. He imagined that one day, Su Su was wearing a beautiful dress, sitting there, basking in the sun, drinking tea and taking a nap, spending a leisurely afternoon.

While he was lost in thought, he heard footsteps.

Looking back, I saw a middle-aged woman coming over. She was wearing work clothes and judging by her appearance, she must be the horticulturist here.

She was holding a watering can in her hand, and it was obvious that she was here to take care of the flowers and plants. When she saw him, she was very respectful, "Auntie."

"Um."

The horticulturist had seen him before when Xiao Xuanjin came to the Su family to propose marriage. Now, seeing him again, he still admired the aunt's handsome appearance.

Even though he was only wearing a very casual black thin shirt and plain cotton trousers today, it was difficult to conceal his cold, elegant and noble temperament, which was a perfect match for the young lady.

At this moment, he was seen with his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on a certain place in the greenhouse, as if he was worried about something.

The gardener didn't dare to disturb them, so he walked over and went to take care of the flowers and plants.

After the horticulturist appeared, Xiao Xuanjin calmly withdrew his thoughts and prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he heard the horticulturist muttering behind him, "The young lady will definitely have to take care of it herself tomorrow. Fortunately, the flower is growing well."

She takes care of it herself? What kind of flowers are they?

Xiao Xuanjin was a little curious, so he turned around and looked at where the gardener was standing.

She stood in front of a shelf in the greenhouse, with three unique but unusual flowers in front of her.

It is a little different from the other flowers planted side by side in the greenhouse.

He couldn't see clearly in this direction, so he took a few steps and entered the greenhouse.

Now I can finally see clearly, it's lavender, forget-me-not, and four-leaf clover.

These three kinds... Xiao Xuanjin held the glass door frame with his hands, his mind suddenly swayed, and memories came flooding in like a surging tide.

"Master, it's better to send flowers. Girls all like flowers."

"And the meanings of these three kinds of flowers are particularly good, representing beautiful love, eternal longing, and the favor of the god of luck. They are the most suitable gifts for girlfriends."

"It would be even better if she could grow it herself."

He looked at the dog-headed military strategists and was somewhat tempted, but he couldn't help but worry, "This is a bad idea. If it doesn't work out, wouldn't all the good meaning be lost?"

"No, Master. We can find the best quality seeds to grow them. They are very easy to grow."

Later.

He saw her scatter the seeds and throw them away, saying, "These are yours. I don't want them."

The implication did not come true; instead, it became a prophecy.

Now, when he saw the three flowers again, he was not sure if they were the same three seeds, nor did he know why she grew the same flowers. He only knew that this memory was like a pain that pierced his brain.

The gardener had just finished watering the plants when he turned around and saw that his aunt had returned at some point.

Her eyes were fixed on the flowers in front of her, with pain and solemnity in them.

"Auntie, are you okay?"

Xiao Xuanjin came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay."

“When was this flower planted?”

The horticulturist calculated the time and said, "About five years ago."

Wasn't that exactly when they separated five years ago?

"She likes this flower?"

"The young lady cherishes this flower very much. Whenever she is at home, she will take care of it personally. By the way, she used to stare at this flower in a daze. I think the young lady must be missing the person who gave her the flower seeds."

These words shook off Xiao Xuanjin's guesses, the fog dissipated, and the truth was slowly emerging.

He was eager to get some kind of confirmation. "Are you saying that someone gave her the flower seeds?"

"Yes, one day, the eldest lady brought three seeds and asked me what these flowers meant. I knew that someone must have given them to her."

The horticulturist thought that the person who sent the flowers was very thoughtful.

Xiao Xuanjin strode over, looked at the three gorgeous flowers, reached out and lightly touched the stamens. The branches and leaves trembled slightly with the movement, just like his heartbeat at the moment, buzzing slightly in the unexpected truth.

Only now did he realize that she had lied to him and had never thrown away the three seeds.

She put on a show for him and was forced to break up with him, but she must have been very unwilling in her heart.

Otherwise, why would she have secretly kept the seeds, and taken good care of them over the years, watching them gather strength to awaken and gently bloom?

She still remembered the agreement and what he had said.

Perhaps, as she said, she had never forgotten him, and like him, she had been missing him from afar all these years.

He felt extremely regretful, wondering why he hadn't discovered it earlier. Maybe they wouldn't have missed it for so long.

…

After Su Mi came out of the coffee shop, he asked someone to investigate the Gu family's affairs, to see if the Gu family still had any room for maneuver.

Her mind was filled with the last words Gu Mucheng said to her.

On the way back, I still hadn't recovered from it.

She thought what happened to her was already very strange, but she didn't expect that what Gu Mucheng experienced was even more bizarre.

How come there are tasks that need to be completed repeatedly? This is too outrageous.

How did he get by all these years?

When she returned to the Su Mansion, it was getting dark outside. As soon as she came in, she saw Wei Rushang in the living room.

"Mommy, you haven't slept yet?"

"No, I just watched all the episodes."

Su Mi saw a scene on TV where a couple who had been separated for a long time were talking to each other about their true feelings.

"Okay, then you take your time to read it."

Without disturbing her any further, Su Mi prepared to go upstairs to find Xiao Xuanjin.

I guess Daddy doesn't ask him to play chess anymore these days.

After walking a few steps, Wei Rushuang, who had just been engrossed in watching TV, turned around and suddenly said, "Qingqing, go see Xiaojin."

Su Mi frowned, "What happened to him?"

"I don't know. He doesn't look very well, so I don't want to ask too much. You two should just have a good chat."

"Um."

Su Mi ran upstairs in a few steps, walked to the bedroom door, and hurriedly pushed it open.
