"Father!" Song Liqin choked on the soup she was about to swallow.
"Is it wrong to ask? I want to know how soon I will get to see a little one running around! I don't have that many years left." Yang Jinhai frowned. He turned to Yang Zheyan in hoping for no disappointing answer.
"Let's just say we are slowly getting there." Yang Zheyan answered his grandpa without an ounce of shame. "I had to hold her down the stair today…"
"Oh!" Yang Jinhai nodded his head in approval. He tapped on the table, "Soon, I should be expecting to hold a baby soon."
Meanwhile, Xiong Jingfei just wanted to bury her face in the soup. We weren't even close to getting anything done!
"My good grandson, why don't you give Feifei a tour around the resident?" Yang Jinhai suggested, knowing full-well that Xiong Jingfei was going to insist on returning back to the city. It wasn't ready yet!
Song Liqin didn't protest the idea, not with the way her husband was eyeing her. Yang Chen had no choice but to go along with his father's wishes. He also wanted to see how things will turn out between them.
"I would like to be excused," Song Liqin wiped the corner of her mouth. She was unable to mouth down anything anymore.
Just like how Yang Jinhai predicted, Xiong Jingfei did request to go back home. She had things to need to prepare for this "wedding" of theirs.
"Darling~, you don't have to do anything for this wedding. Leave everything to me." Yang Zheyan took the tablet from Xiong Jingfei. It was her only way of communicating that she wanted to leave. "There are things we still need to discuss."
Xiong Jingfei smiled and slowly nodded head. However, blinded to everyone, underneath the table. She was trying to pinch Yang Zheyan for lying to Yang Jinhai earlier. While he held onto her hand, and it brought it to light in front of everyone at the table.
"We are about to be husband and wife soon. There is no need to be shy about holding hands in front of others." Yang Zheyan flashed their holding hands in the air as if celebrating it.
Xiong Jingfei admits her defeat. She didn't have the energy to compete with his shamelessness!
While taking a walk with Yang Zheyan, Xiong Jingfei came to realize how deceiving the front yard was. She thought it was already huge, but until she walked into the backyard. It was like a whole different world!
The backyard was like a flower garden meant for an empress. From knowing Yang Zheyan's father and grandfather within a short amount of time. It wasn't them who tended and cared for this garden. It also can't be Yang Zheyan since it seems like he never visits. According to how his room looked like. A teenager who left home and never came back.
There was only one possible person, Song Liqin. Although she may not have cared for the flowers personally. It showed how much she cared for them by keeping them trim and healthy. From the Yang house, there was a ledge you can come out on and look over the flower garden.
Xiong Jingfei can imagine how beautiful it was to look at them in the morning.
Out of everything, there was something that caught her attention in particular. Not even the pretty and colorful flowers can phase the beauty out of it. In the distance away from everything else, stood alone a maidenhair tree.
Xiong Jingfei's feet picked up the pace on their own. Making her walk towards it until she heard a familiar voice.
['Older brother Zheyan, am I ugly?']
Xiong Jingfei was still quite a distance away. Close enough that you can tell someone was there but far enough that you can't see their face.
A woman was laying underneath the tree and holding a jug in the air. She brought it back down and giggled while chugging down the wine.
['No.] A man walked from around the tree as he sat down next to the woman. [Beautiful, you are very beautiful.']
Xiong Jingfei blinked a couple of times. How can she hear their conversation from this far away?
She was practically running at this point towards them. They didn't appear to be workers hired by the Yang family. Their clothes were odd and were not something people at this time would wear. Are they cosplaying?
Xiong Jingfei stopped only when she saw the man reaching over to unveiled the woman's face. She squinted her eyes, they were still too far away for her to see their faces.
The man leaned in and kissed the woman on her left cheek. There was a smile on the woman's face as she closed her eyes and took in the kiss.
All of a sudden, the woman opened her eyes and was staring straight at Xiong Jingfei. It caused Xiong Jingfei to take a few steps back.
"Why were you running?" Yang Zheyan asked after Xiong Jingfei backed up into him. Was she running to the maidenhair tree? There wasn't anything special about it.
Xiong Jingfei ran up to the tree, but the pairs were nowhere in sight. She walked around the tree and looked up, but they weren't there either. They just vanished! What did she see?
Xiong Jingfei grabbed Yang Zheyan's arm and pointed to the tree. She tried describing what she just saw and was wondering if he saw them too. If he did, that means she wasn't going crazy!
However, Yang Zheyan had no way of understanding her hands and arms gesture. It looked like she was just frantically waving her arms around.
She stopped waving her arms after realizing how she must have looked to him. Why wouldn't he think she was weird? Even she thought she was strange and crazy too!
Odd and unexplainable things have been happening around her… Who can explain to her what is going on?
Xiong Jingfei was afraid to go to sleep now or see anything. Something was telling her that from now on it wasn't going to be all colorful. Right before she woke up, something happened to Feng Huan.
Just what was it?
