Didn’t she end up loving her all the same?

  Indeed, Li Jinnan’s words came to pass.

  When Qin Shuhua fell ill and was bedridden for some time, Ye Youyou wholeheartedly took care of her despite her pregnant belly.

  That incident served to have her wholly accepted as family.

  Then again, hindsight was always perfect.

  Summer in Yun Town was a lot more pleasant than in Kingstown.

  Ye Qianqian lazily stretched her back and gave a long yawn. She slipped on her slippers and headed outside to water the flowers.

  All the flowers in the yard were about to bud in the morning. They looked very beautiful.

  Ye Qianqian was still half-asleep. The shorts and T-shirt she had worn to sleep were crinkled against her body.

  Ye Zhenhua just came back from running some errands. When he saw his daughter looking so listless, he laughed and said, “Look at you! Your grandfather is going to laugh at you again!”


  “Grandfather likes to laugh for the sake of laughing. He’s not laughing at me. Stop maligning me.” Ye Qianqian yawned and asked, “Dad, why on earth are you growing so many flowers? They don’t look nice and give off a very pungent scent!”


  “Says who? You have horrible taste in flowers!” Ye Zhenhua was indignant. “When Youyou came back, she said they were beautiful! Look at this rose, and look at this jasmine! Look how beautiful they are!”


  “They aren’t beautiful at all! They’re pungent!” Ye Qianqian waved her hands with an air of disdain. “We even have to water all of them every day. It’s so much trouble!”


  “You don’t want to water them? If you don’t want to, then scram!”


  Ye Qianqian was sudden fully alert. She handed the watering can over to Ye Zhenhua and said, “Dad, your flowers are beautiful! I’m off to play now!”


  “Hey, have you even had breakfast yet?”


  “I don’t need breakfast!” Ye Qianqian dashed into the bedroom and changed her clothes. She skipped her way out of the main door.

  The air of her hometown was awesome.

  She made her way to the home of her best friend, Fang Tongtong, but didn’t see anyone there.

  Ye Qianqian called out loudly, “Bighead Tong! Bighead Tong, are you there? Bighead…… Tong!”


  “What the hell are you yelling for? Are you trying to wake the dead?” The sound of a young woman’s voice came from inside.

  Shortly after, a young woman walked out.

  Fang Tongtong and Ye Qianqian were the same age and used to be classmates. However, Ye Qianqian had moved to Kingstown to work. Fang Tongtong had chosen to live with her parents.

  She couldn’t bear to leave them and had instead opened a small shop in her hometown.

  Business wasn’t exactly booming, but it was enough for her to put food on the table.

  When she saw Ye Qianqian, Fang Tongtong’s face suddenly darkened as she stomped over.

  Ye Qianqian took a step back in retreat and called out, “Madam, please stop where you are!”


  “This madam just had her life screamed out of her!”


  “Heh! You’re magnanimous enough not to hold it against me. Can I have some ice cream please?”


  Fang Tongtong had the urge to just strangle her and replied, “You have the cheek to ask for ice cream? Get it yourself!”


  “Alright. Thank you, Madam.”


  Ye Qianqian picked the most expensive ice cream bar and shoved it in her mouth. When Fang Tongtong saw that, she rushed up to her.

  Ye Qianqian was already anticipating that. She ran out laughing. Once safely outside, she turned back to look in as she contentedly licked her ice cream.

  As she was eating her ice cream, she spotted a gaudy looking yellow car drive over from afar.

  It was Fang Tongtong’s first time seeing such a showy shade of yellow. Her eyes widened as she saw that the car was headed toward her shop.

  With one glance, she knew it was a potential business. She pointed her finger menacingly at Ye Qianqian and stated, “I’ll take care of you later.”


  When the gaudy yellow car stopped, a blindingly handsome face appeared.

  It was almost enough to make Fang Tongtong go cross-eyed.

  The man got out of the vehicle. With his tall physique and fitted clothes, he looked well-dressed and elegant.

  Fang Tongtong felt as if she had just been struck by Cupid’s love arrow. Her eyes began to glaze over.

  Was this a demigod the legends spoke of?

  Ye Qianqian almost choked on her ice cream. She stared at that figure as if she had seen a ghost.
