"Excuse me, Mr. Warrens, but Madam has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the garden."
Li Yuan stopped and glanced at her indifferently.
With just a casual glance, Grean's body stiffened instantly, as if he had been placed in an ice cellar hundreds of degrees below zero.
Before she could react, Li Yuan strode into the garden.
It's a little past six in the afternoon in the US, just as the sun is setting.
The weather in country M is relatively cool, especially after sunset, when the temperature drops a few degrees.
Luo Ling was carefully selecting flowers when a cool breeze blew, and her hat was blown off her head.
She turned her head and bumped into Li Yuan, who was about ten meters away from her.
Li Yuan stood there, staring intently at her, his eyes revealing undisguised love.
Luo Ling felt uncomfortable under his gaze and turned her head away.
Li Yuan's dark eyes fell to one side and saw the hat that had fallen on the flowers.
He bent down to pick up the hat, patted off non-existent dust, and walked towards her step by step.
He put the hat back on her head, and then took off his own coat and draped it over her shoulders.
"It's getting colder, wear more layers."
Luo Ling's expression froze, and the next second she took off her coat and handed it back to him: "Why aren't you leaving yet? I remember I said that you should leave the Luo family as soon as possible."
Looking down at the coat in his hand, Li Yuan draped it over her again, saying, "As long as you're here, I won't leave."
"..." Luo Ling's body stiffened, and she threw the coat away again. Li Yuan then put it back on her.
Li Yuan hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her beautiful shoulder: "Are you throwing a tantrum at me?"
Luo Ling became agitated as if someone had stepped on her tail. She broke free from Li Yuan and looked at him with a cold smile.
"To throw a tantrum at you? Mr. Warrens is overconfident. What's our relationship? Do we even have a relationship? Why would I throw a tantrum at a stranger?"
Li Yuan remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on her.
Luo Ling's eyes grew increasingly red, and she smiled sarcastically, it was unclear whether she was laughing at Li Yuan or at herself.
"Li Yuan? Ling Yin Warrens? Mr. Warrens certainly has a lot of names. I have to admit you're quite capable; you successfully fooled me. What exactly are you trying to do by going to such lengths to get close to me using a false name?!"
"I want to be with you forever," Li Yuan said.
"..."
"Because I love you and want to be with you forever, even a lifetime isn't enough."
Luo Ling snapped out of her daze and turned her head: "Ridiculous."
Ignoring her indifference, Li Yuan continued, "I didn't lie to you. My Chinese name is indeed Li Yuan, which is my mother's surname. As for why I used this name with you..."
Li Yuan's gaze was deep. After a few seconds of silence, he continued, "Because the first thing I said to you when I first met you was: Hello, my name is Li Yuan. May I ask what your name is?"
Luo Ling didn't understand: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Her voice was still so cold: "Mr. Warrens has remained unmarried for many years because of Nan Nan's mother, but now he says he loves me. This makes me wonder if, in Warrens' heart, I am just a substitute for Shiloh?"
Luo Ling stared into Li Yuan's eyes and said, word by word, "You approached me just because I resemble Xi Luo, right? That must be it."
She chuckled to herself under her breath, "If we didn't look somewhat alike, Nan Nan's grandfather wouldn't have gone crazy grabbing me and calling me Miss Xi Luo, ha..."
