Ning Wangshan looked at Yu Hualing and asked knowingly, "Is it Ying Chi?"
Yu Hualing nodded: "It's Ying Chi."
She tried her best to bring the marriage together.
Now that good things are right in front of him, he immediately said, "It seems that sometimes fate really is predetermined."
Ning Wangshan didn't respond to that, but just smiled and remained silent.
...
The general's mansion is very large.
Ning Qiluo spent a proportional amount of time at the General's Mansion to the amount of time she spent in Y Country. She was so familiar with the General's Mansion that she knew exactly where the dog holes were and how big they were, all along the entire perimeter of the compound.
As I walked, the sound behind me disappeared.
Ning Qiluo turned around and saw Jiang Yingchi standing more than ten meters away from her by the artificial hill and pond, answering a phone call.
With no one else around, and given how large the general's mansion was, Ning Qiluo, out of a sense of responsibility, waited for him where he was, fearing he might get lost.
But as they waited, Jiang Yingchi's phone call seemed endless, it just wouldn't stop.
Ning Qiluo had no choice but to turn back.
"River……"
"I need to see results after a week of follow-up."
"I didn't see the Huang family's efforts in regaining control."
He had a serious expression on his face and was talking about important business matters on the phone. Ning Qiluo felt that speaking at this time might be disturbing him, so she kept quiet.
The mountain in the artificial hill was brought back from Shuncheng by my maternal grandfather.
It's said to be a one-to-one replica of the artificial mountain depicted on a parchment scroll in a museum in Shuncheng. There's only one such artificial mountain in the entire Manzhouli area—the General's Mansion—and it's incredibly expensive.
Withered yellow leaves are falling.
It drifted down and landed on Ning Qiluo's head.
Unaware of her surroundings, she was half-asleep, counting the goldfish swimming back and forth in the pond.
A hand with distinct knuckles reached out and took a fallen leaf from her head. Just then, Ning Qiluo turned to count the leaves on the other side, and as she turned, she saw Jiang Yingchi's hand slowly withdrawing, a fallen leaf between her fingertips.
It was a dull yellow color and a very small patch.
Ning Qiluo looked up at him, and he looked back at her; their eyes met. The autumn wind blew, and a few withered yellow leaves drifted in the air; everything around seemed to quiet down.
When Ning Qiluo came to her senses, she tilted her head slightly and asked, "Have you finished the call?"
He said something to the person on the other end of the phone, and then hung up.
He nodded to her. "Okay."
It was quiet and cold, as desolate as the autumn wind.
Autumn arrives earlier in Manzhou than in Beicheng, but snowfall doesn't come to Manzhou as quickly. It got cold early this year. Ning Qiluo unconsciously shivered, gritted her teeth, and then said, "Let's go then. I'll take you to see Grandpa."
She walked ahead without looking back.
At this moment, her mind was filled with the fleeting moment she exchanged glances with Jiang Yingchi, and her heart suddenly fluttered. It was a flutter, not excitement; she could tell the difference clearly.
That's strange.
Why do I feel this way?
Jiang Yingchi was just a few steps behind her.
Looking at her back, he couldn't look away. Everything started all over again. Fate really does play tricks on him.
I promised I wouldn't forget him.
Ning Qiluo, you've still forgotten me.
...
Inside the antique-style main room, Ning Wangshan and Yu Hualing were still chatting.
Lan Ma said, "Young Master Jiang and Miss Wanxi have arrived."
They've arrived.
Yu Hualing picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a small sip, and then looked up.
However, when he saw that the girl who came in was the one from the Qi family, his expression changed immediately. He put his teacup down on the table, the porcelain clinking together with a crisp sound. In his haste, he forgot his manners and suddenly stood up.
