In the end, Yan Mo was too lazy to argue with the shameless Si Ze anymore, so she just leaned on the passenger seat, with the slightly raised corners of her mouth showing that she was actually in a good mood.
The car turned several corners and entered a road that Yan Mo had never set foot on. It was obvious that it was recently built.
"Are you really not going to the meeting?" Yan Mo couldn't help but bring up the old topic again.
Seeing Yan Mo asking several times, knowing that she was really worried, Si Ze didn't mean to tease her this time and said seriously:
"I asked Xun Jiage to handle the meeting for me, don't worry."
"Looking for Jiage? Are you okay without going?"
She clearly heard her parents-in-law say that this meeting was very important and Si Ze himself had to go.
"It's okay. You have to believe me. I pay him so much salary, he has to do something for me." Si Ze said as a matter of course.
"All right!"
…
After that, the car fell into silence again. Just when Yan Mo wanted to ask Si Ze where he wanted to go, the car had already arrived at the destination and stopped.
Yan Mo opened the car door and got out, asking doubtfully:
"Are you sure you've arrived?"
Isn't this just an ordinary hillside? She looked at Si Ze, confused, wondering why they came here?
Si Ze smiled faintly and said nothing. Instead, under Yan Mo's curious gaze, he took out a white handkerchief from the car, then walked to Yan Mo's side. When Yan Mo was completely confused and didn't understand the situation, he covered her eyes with the handkerchief and whispered mysteriously in her ear:
"Momo, come with me. I'll show you the gift I gave you."
"Gift?" Yan Mo frowned. "You've given so many bags as gifts, what did you give this time?"
"You'll know when you get there." Si Ze said lightly, took her little hand, and led her up the mountain step by step.
Just like that, they didn't walk for long. Although Yan Mo's eyes were blindfolded and she couldn't see, her ears seemed to be particularly sensitive.
Faintly, he heard the bleating of alpacas, and not just one. However, then he thought of a question: how could there be alpaca sounds in Mo City? Was it an illusion?
She pricked up her ears again in disbelief and listened carefully. All she heard was the sound of alpacas. Before Yan Mo could ask, Si Ze's voice came:
"Momo, okay, it's okay, take off the handkerchief."
Hearing this, Yan Mo reached out and took off the handkerchief covering his eyes with doubt.
When she opened her eyes, she stared at everything in front of her with disbelief.
It is an exaggeratedly large castle, standing on the top of the mountain, with no end in sight. Its magnificence and solemnity can't help but make people sigh, revealing the ancient atmosphere of Edinburgh.
It was as if she was in a dream. Yan Mo couldn't help but pinch herself secretly. It was not until she felt pain in her thigh that she was sure that this was not a dream.
So is this castle real? Yan Mo was sure that this castle must have been newly built, otherwise, even the people of Mo City wouldn't know about it.
The most important thing is that this castle is too dazzling and it is impossible to ignore it. There is also the not-too-wide grassland outside the castle, the pens on the grassland, and those adorable alpacas, as well as the patches of cherry trees on the low hills on both sides of the castle, and so on. What a scene?
She seemed to remember something, turned around in disbelief and looked at Si Ze: "Could it be that this is..."
Si Ze nodded, acknowledging her suspicions:
"Yes, didn't you say your wish was to live in a castle like a princess?"
As he spoke, he walked behind her, held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear:
"Do you like it? This will be our home from now on."
Yan Mo was so shocked that he couldn't speak. His breathing became heavy. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said:
"When did you start preparing for this?"
Such a huge project, just because of her joke, how much effort must have been put into building this castle. What made Yan Mo feel most worried was that even if she left him, the construction of this room should not have stopped.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she regretted her stupidity again. If, once again, he really lost his life because of her, then she would go to hell with him instead of leaving him and making him suffer.
Si Ze smiled without saying anything. As early as the day he knew Yan Mo's wish, he started preparing. After more than a year, he finished the work before her birthday some time ago. Unfortunately, he did not find her before her birthday.
However, it seems to be a good idea now, as a perfect wedding gift for them.
"Master, Madam, Miss and Master are waiting for you inside. Would you like to go in now?" Uncle Guan came up to them at some point and asked respectfully.
"Uncle Guan?"
"I have been very busy recently, and I am not at ease leaving the three little ones to others. That is why Uncle Guan has been helping to take care of them. If you have no objection, I would like Uncle Guan to stay and serve as the housekeeper." Si Ze explained. He did not want the little girl to work too hard. Such a big castle must have someone to look after it. Compared with hiring a newcomer, Uncle Guan can make him feel more at ease.
"But if you mind..."
"I don't mind. I'd love to." Yan Mo said happily. Yan Mo respected the old man who had always been by his side. How could he possibly despise him?
She took a few steps forward, came to Uncle Guan, and bowed deeply to him:
"Uncle Guan, thank you for taking care of Zhi'er and the others over the past six months. Without you, they might not be growing up as strong as they are now. As a mother, I'm here to thank you."
In these words, she put herself in the position of an ordinary mother and also placed Uncle Guan in the position of an elder, which was a respect for him.
Uncle Guan was flattered and quickly moved his body to make Yan Mo's bow in vain. Then, he moved to Yan Mo's side and helped her up:
"Young Madam, I can't do that. It's my duty to take care of the young master and the others. I'm just a servant. How can I bear such a heavy gift from you?"
Uncle Guan has been handling matters for the old man in the Si family for many years, both in the open and in the dark, so he sees things more clearly than anyone else.
After this incident, the future heads of the Si family will definitely be the young master and the young mistress. He has been in the Si family for a long time, and perhaps they really respect him, but he cannot become arrogant because of his favor.
He absolutely could not let the young lady bow to him. This was not the way a master and servant should get along. Even if Yan Mo didn't mind, something might get out of a big family like the Si family, which would only make his sons' paths in the Si family narrower and narrower, not to mention what Si Ze would think.
Si Ze didn't care and said with a smile:
"Uncle Guan, this gift is what you deserve. Don't feel any pressure. Just treat us as ordinary juniors."
