The light and cheerful piano music weaved through the dense crowd, drifted out of the windows, and stopped on the grass, the fountain, and the flowers.
Chu Yunmu, dressed in a white tuxedo and holding a wine glass, brightened up when she saw the two people walking in through the door. She walked up to them and greeted them.
"Uncle Yu, Uncle Lin."
"Yunmu looks really handsome today."
Lin Ling smiled and handed the gift to Chu Yunmu. Seeing that he was looking around, she smiled and said, "Looking for Xiao Wei?"
Chu Yunmu nodded. Could Yu Wei have been scared away?
“We didn’t tell him.” Lin Ling patted the back of his hand to comfort him. “He went to prepare a gift and will be there soon.”
Chu Yunmu finally felt relieved and chatted with Lin Ling with a smile.
Speak of the devil, and he appears! Yu Wei strode over, carrying gifts, attracting many glances along the way.
Chu Yunmu felt inexplicably nervous as he watched the young man stride towards him, his palms sweating.
The young man was dressed in a black suit, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. He had a neat buzz cut, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep, strong features. His lips, neither too thin nor too thick, parted to reveal his large, white teeth.
No one could have imagined that this handsome young man, who grinned like a fool, would be the strongest Alpha in the league and the youngest general.
"Happy birthday, Yunmu."
Yu Wei handed the gift in his hand to Chu Yunmu; he had gone to great lengths to buy it.
"Thanks."
Chu Yunmu's hand trembled slightly as he accepted the gift. The thought that such a sunny person would soon become his partner filled him with excitement, making him feel like he could fly.
"Why be so polite with your brother?"
Yu Wei's smile remained unchanged, completely unaware that Yu Zhen and Lin Ling's expressions had become rather unpleasant.
When will this silly son finally get it?
Yu Wei's differentiation was late to begin with, and he was completely clueless about matters of the heart. Yun Mu's behavior was so obvious, yet he didn't notice at all. He was just too oblivious.
Lin Ling was very frustrated. She should have known better than to put the premature Yu Wei into the culture tank. Now look what happened, his brain is full of water, no, just like his father Yu Zhen, he has no brain, it's all water.
Yu Zhen wished he could slap Yu Wei back to the drawing board and start over. His entire reputation had been ruined by this foolish son. Back in the day, he was a womanizer who could walk through a garden of flowers without ever getting attached…
Seeing Yu Zhen's expression, Lin Ling seemed to know what he was thinking and stomped on his foot in displeasure.
Yu Zhen has face blindness and has flirted with Lin Ling more than once. The so-called "passing through a sea of flowers" is actually just about one Lin Ling, but he just can't remember her face.
Watching the two interacting sweetly, Chu Yunmu's eyes were filled with envy. Their childhood sweetheart relationship, after so many years, was still as inseparable as ever, which was truly enviable.
Perhaps, he could also be with Yu Wei...
“Xiao Wei?” Chu Sheng smiled as he held a glass of red wine. “I used to hold you when you were little. You’ve grown up so much in the blink of an eye.”
Yu Wei greeted him with a smile, then awkwardly scratched his toes on the ground.
God knows, he had barely met Chu Sheng, only heard from Chu Yunmu that Chu Sheng was a businessman and rarely came home throughout the year.
As for him hugging me, sorry, nine out of ten people in the previous generation said the same thing, the exact same greeting. Can't you be a little more original?
"What are you standing there for?" Chu Sheng glared at Chu Yunmu, who was standing still, somewhat embarrassed. "Take Xiao Wei and go wander around."
It takes someone to remind you to do this; you're truly hopeless!
"Okay...okay."
Chu Yunmu swallowed hard. He had always been afraid of his father, and every step he took in front of him felt like walking on thin ice.
Leaving the hall, Chu Yunmu finally breathed a sigh of relief. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what he did, he never seemed to gain his father's approval. Others praised him for being diligent, studious, humble, and polite, but in his father's eyes, these were just things he was supposed to have.
No matter what he did, no matter how well he did it, in his father's eyes it was all something he was supposed to do.
"Your roses are so beautiful."
Yu Wei stopped in front of the vast expanse of roses, took a deep breath, and let the fragrance of roses fill her lungs.
It smells so good; it would be delicious to make rose petal candy.
Achoo!
Yu Wei sneezed loudly from taking too deep a breath, and Chu Yunmu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ornamental roses can't be used to make rose sugar." Chu Yunmu took out a tissue and handed it to Yu Wei: "There's a rose garden in the western suburbs that grows a lot of edible roses."
"What are we going to do with all these roses? They're just going to go to waste."
Yu Wei sighed, "It's such a pity we can't eat it."
"Fallen petals are not heartless things; they turn into spring mud to nourish the flowers." Chu Yunmu smiled and said, "Returning to nature may be the best choice."
Yu Wei scratched the back of his head and said, "That makes so much sense. I was so naive!"
Just as he was about to speak, Yu Wei keenly smelled a faint fragrance in the air, with a refreshing sweetness.
Do you still have orchids in your garden?
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunmu frowned. There were no orchids in the garden, so how could Yu Wei smell the scent of orchids? Besides, she herself couldn't smell it at all.
The orchid is currently the most fragrant and sweetest flower known. Its flowers resemble wind chimes and its leaves resemble orchids. The fragrance is alluring, but the entire plant is poisonous and has a strong paralyzing effect. It is not edible.
"It seems I've come at the wrong time."
The clear, cool voice, like a mountain spring, entered their ears with a slight chill. Yu Wei and Chu Yunmu turned around at the same time.
The young man, dressed in a well-tailored black suit, leaned against a dark purple luxury car, his long legs crossed, the top two buttons of his shirt undone, revealing his fair and delicate collarbone. His black earrings gleamed in the sunlight, like a demon lurking in the night.
