Is he here today? If she was, what would she say? That this was a gift for him? Could he have misunderstood something …
Cold sweat broke out on his nervous hands. Only then did he manage to walk in, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
To her regret, she was alone in the glass house.
But at the same time, she felt a bit regretful and relaxed. At the very least, this way, she wouldn't have to worry about how she should greet him.
She placed the gift on the sofa. She had intended to leave another note, but after thinking about it, if the servants saw it, they would misunderstand and leave it behind.
And she believed he would understand her.
He stayed in the castle for a while longer before he walked out with reluctance.
She named this glass house the Castle, and the mysterious man was the elf.
It was a secret that belonged solely to her and no one was going to tell her.
Not long after she left the castle, a tall figure stood in front of the sofa, staring at her back in a daze.
In his hand was the coloured pencil that she had placed on the sofa …
When he arrived at the front yard, he saw the Uncle Chang watering the flowers in the courtyard with a watering can.
"Young Mistress!" Seeing her coming over, the Uncle Chang smiled and greeted her.
"Uncle Chang, how long have you been in the Han Family?" she asked, smiling at him.
Uncle Chang narrowed his eyes and thought, "Hmm, it's been almost fifty years, right? "It was Young Master's grandfather who took me in that time, which is why I managed to survive. Therefore, I have been staying here all these years, serving Young Master …"
"So it's like that …" "Then you must know a lot of secrets, right?" she asked him, blinking.
Uncle Chang laughed, "I wonder what secret Young Mistress wants to know?"
Qiao Xinran also laughed along, "It's nothing Uncle Chang, I just saw a pretty glass house in the backyard these few days, I'm just a little curious about it."
"Oh, Young Mistress is talking about that greenhouse, right?" Uncle Chang looked at her and asked.
"Greenhouse?" She thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "That's about it. The one with the many flowers …"
So the castle was just a greenhouse? This name didn't sound good at all.
"To be honest, the greenhouse was also her favorite place to go. Madam used to have a soft spot for these plants. In order to fulfill her wish, Master helped her build a greenhouse in the backyard. "When the old master and madam are free, they always take a seat inside …"
"When Madame left, Master said that he would think of something sad when he saw the greenhouse, so he sent people to tear it down. It was young master who did his best to stop her from leaving that greenhouse behind. "
Uncle Chang's eyes looked towards the horizon, as if he was reminded of the past.
"It was originally like this. Then who is taking care of that place now?" Qiao Xinran asked again.
It was because she suddenly thought, could that elf be the servant that was sent to take care of the greenhouse?
Uncle Chang thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Only Young Master would occasionally go sit for a while. Other than that, no one else has been there."
"What about the servants? So many flowers, there must at least be someone to take care of it, right? "
"Because Young Master said that we are not allowed to go inside, no one dared to disobey Young Master's orders. "Over time, the servants seldom even went to the backyard …"
Uncle Chang slowly said, then suddenly turned to look at her, "Young mistress, it's best not to mention this in front of Young Master, in case you get hurt! "Also, Young Mistress doesn't have to go to the back garden to walk around. If Young Master finds out, who knows what might happen?"
Qiao Xinran nodded, "Alright Uncle Chang, I'll remember that."
Although she said so, she would still go. It was just a stealth operation that could not be discovered by others.
However, the Uncle Chang had already said that no one was taking care of the castle, and no one was going to the backyard, so who could that figure be?
For some reason, she had the feeling that he wasn't a bad person. As for the evidence, there wasn't. It should only be a woman's intuition.
She ate dinner alone, because Han Mo and Han Xin had both called Uncle Chang and told her that they would not be back for dinner.
She was the only one left at home. Originally, she thought she should be happy, because she didn't need to see Han Mo's icy face.
But for some reason, she was always bored.
It wasn't until nine in the evening that Han Xin finally returned, reeking of alcohol.
"Why did you drink so much?" Clutching her nose, she poured him a cup of sobering tea.
"Sister-in-law, thank you. Sister-in-law is the best." Han Xin sat down on the sofa and smirked at her.
Today, those guys said that they had finally caught him once and insisted on pouring him wine.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be drunk on these wines at all.
Today, for some reason, he felt depressed. As he drank and drank, he felt dizzy.
In the end, his mind was filled with thoughts of Qiao Xinran.
"Sister-in-law, where's my brother?" he asked, gulping down his tea.
"He should still be at the company. Let me help you get up and rest." Qiao Xinran stood beside him and was about to help him up.
Just as her hand touched his arm, he grabbed it back. "Sister-in-law …" Haha … "Why are you my sister-in-law?"
"Ah Xin, you are drunk. Let me help you rest."
Qiao Xinran said it again. She always hated drunkards the most, if not for the fact that Ah Xin was so compatible with her, she wouldn't even bother to bother with him.
"No …" If I don't go, I just want to stay with you... "Answer me, why are you my sister-in-law …" He looked at her dreamily as he held her large hands in his, looking to be scorching hot.
How would she answer that? Why was she his sister-in-law?
Because she was his big brother Han Mo's wife.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, he suddenly felt a chill from behind him, and he was startled. It's over, it's over. Han Mo is back.
Why didn't he come back earlier or later? Why did he come back at this time?
Now he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Hurry up and tell me. If you don't tell me, I won't be sleeping today …" Han Xin grabbed her hand without letting go, like a child trying to act shamelessly.
"Nonsense!" Who told you to drink so much, go up and sleep! " Han Mo berated coldly as he turned his head to look at Qiao Xinran, laughing coldly, "Qiao Xinran, you are truly not simple. I really didn't expect that not only would he be fooling around with other men, but now he's trying to seduce my little brother! "
"Big brother! What did you say? You're not allowed to scold sister-in-law like that! "
Although Han Xin was drunk, he could still clearly hear his big brother scolding Qiao Xinran. He immediately stood up to protest.
