The culprit behind the delicate orchids that Grandpa Gu cultivated was never found.
After all, "everyone participates," and the law does not punish the masses.
Moreover, everyone who waters orchids assumes that the flowers are dehydrated.
The old man had no choice but to call the glass greenhouse at Baiyun Mountain Villa and ask them to send over some more good ones.
The Royal Bay Villas over there
Xiao Anman went home after playing all day and fell asleep quickly.
Because there were two days on the weekend, Gu Tingxiao had some other things to take care of and had to attend a banquet. There were many people and distractions outside, so he was not comfortable taking Xiao An with him and left Xiao An alone at home to play.
"Daddy will come home soon. Can An'an wait for me at home?"
Having changed into a well-fitting, hand-tailored suit, Gu Tingxiao, with his left knee almost touching the ground, held Xiao Anman's hand with an air of nobility and elegance and asked...
Of course you can.
Xiao Anman isn't a picky child, and Gu Tingxiao always takes such good care of her feelings.
Knowing that her dad had to work, Xiao An brought her tender little face close and gently rubbed it against Gu Tingxiao's cheek.
Then she took out a little hand and touched Gu Tingxiao's face, saying in a sweet, childlike voice, "Daddy, remember to come back to be with An'an soon~"
"Um."
It feels so different to have someone waiting for you at home. Gu Tingxiao felt like he wanted to come back even before he left the house.
Okay, Daddy, go to work now. The sooner you leave, the sooner you can come home.
An'an is very well-behaved even when she's home alone.
For a long time after Gu Ting left, Xiao Anman squatted quietly at the gate, watching.
The more carefree it was to let her father go, the more disappointed little An'an is now.
Aunt Zhang noticed the faint disappointment on Xiao Anman's face and knew that the young lady was missing Mr. Gu.
He stepped forward and said, "Miss, would you like to go play? The little swing that the master had made a few days ago is finished. It's very pretty and fun."
Xiao An remembers this quite well; it's something she saw in a cartoon book.
Because she stared at it for a long time without moving, Gu Tingxiao, who had finished his official business, came over to take a look out of curiosity.
Seeing that Xiao An was looking at a beautiful picture of a swing with many flowers, he wrote it down and asked someone to prepare it.
Upon hearing the sound of the swing, Xiao Anman stood up and looked at Aunt Zhang expectantly with her big, watery eyes.
"Does the young lady like it too? Come, I'll take you there."
Using a swing to attract the little Anman was indeed effective.
Sure enough, a new swing appeared on the green lawn, and it looked almost exactly like the cartoon picture that Xiao Anman had seen.
The wooden swing is adorned with countless colorful and delicate flowers, making it look like a three-dimensional illustration from a fairy tale from afar.
Xiao An ran over and touched the flowers and the swing, looking very happy.
"Miss, would you like to sit down and take a look?"
Xiao An nodded.
In fact, this little swing was tailor-made for her; anyone whose body measurements don't match hers can't sit on it.
A few plump, soft clouds floated in the azure sky, and a gentle breeze rustled through the grass and trees, carrying a fresh, natural scent.
A little princess who looks like an angel, only found in fairy tales, tightly grips the ropes on both sides of a flower swing with her two chubby little hands, her face showing an innocent and pure naivety untouched by worldly affairs.
The white dress cast a beautiful, sheer shadow in the air as it swayed on the swing.
The healthy vitality and brimming life emanating from that tiny person made you never want to look away after just one glance.
Through the white railing, the pale boy in the white shirt gazed at the little elf who seemed to be waving transparent wings in the sunlight, as if admiring a miracle.
There's a young man there.
Xiao An was having a great time playing on the swing when she turned her head and saw the boy watching her.
A young man in white robes and with white hair held an ancient book in his hand. Sunlight shone behind him, making him appear almost transparent, like a god descending to earth.
In two completely different pairs of eyes, they saw similar things when they looked at each other.
Xiao Anman grabbed the swing ropes, and as the swing gradually calmed down, he twisted his body and slid down.
She also casually grabbed a blue iris from the swing.
She glanced at the blue iris in her hand, then looked at the boy not far away. After a moment's thought, she held up the blue iris and ran up to him.
When you get closer, you can better feel the overly calm and pure aura emanating from the other person.
The boy's gaze was ethereal, like a lonely snow lotus atop a snow-capped mountain, a holy light enveloping him, unlike any mortal.
Before long, Xiao Anman ran up to her. Although there was still a fence between them, this was the first time Helian Min had been so close.
Admiring this angelic, sprite-like cub doesn't mean you can get close to her.
So before Xiao Anman could even hand over the blue iris in her hand, Helian Min had already turned and left.
Whether it's people or flowers, it's best to just admire them from afar.
What's more, what she was holding was a flower called hope.
Xiao An stared blankly as the handsome young man walked away, wanting to say something but not having a chance to.
When the white-clad boy's figure had completely disappeared from sight, Xiao Anman lowered her head and tugged at the petals of the flower in her hand, murmuring softly, "Brother, it's a flower."
...
"What's wrong, young lady?"
"I don't know. Sister Zhang said that this afternoon, when the young lady was playing on the swing outside, she saw the young master of the Helian family."
"You mean... that madman who's been locked up by the Helian family?"
"Yes, the Helian family's main branch isn't in our Ancheng. If there weren't problems here, how could our young master have been thrown here?"
The servant who spoke pointed to her head, indicating that the young master of the Helian family probably had mental problems.
"Who can say for sure? Such wealthy families might have some shady dealings, unlike our master's place, which is very simple."
"Yes, I heard that young master Helian looks different from ordinary people, he's like a freak."
"Did that young master Helian scare the young lady?"
No, not at all.
...
"Shh, the young lady is here."
Xiao Anman held the blue iris in her hand and looked at it for a long time before finally running to the place where they had met that afternoon.
At the deserted railing, Xiao An carefully placed the flowers in her hand into the gap of the railing.
Okay, that's fine.
Satisfied with her masterpiece, Xiao Anman clapped her hands and turned to go back.
