Just guessing based on one’s own imagination would make simple things more complicated.

  The two of them were in a good mood. They drove for more than an hour before they reached their destination. When they looked up, they saw a wide field of view where they could see cows and sheep.

  Song Mian drove to the parking spot and saw a fat old man in his fifties walking over with four young men and two women with warm smiles on their faces.

  He pulled Yun Xiangxiang out of the car and shook hands with the old man. Surprisingly, he spoke Chinese, “Hello, Mr. Carl.”


  “Welcome, my distinguished guest, Song.” The other party also spoke Chinese.

  And it was not awkward at all. He clearly looked like a native.

  “This is my fiancé, Yun Xiangxiang.” Song Mian introduced Yun Xiangxiang.

  “Hello, beautiful lady.” Carl extended his hand in a friendly manner.

  Yun Xiangxiang shook hands with the other party politely before he introduced the four young people behind them. They were all Carl’s children.

  After everyone greeted each other, Carl brought them to the ranch. First, they went to meet his wife, who was Chinese.

  They were busy in the kitchen. The customs here were different from that in China. Although they were also Chinese, Yun Xiangxiang was not considered a regular guest since it was her first time here, so she did not ask politely to help out in the kitchen.

  Carl brought them to the ranch for sightseeing. It was a huge ranch. Yun Xiangxiang saw a lot of cows, and only then did she know that they produced their own milk. They were very famous in the land of wine and flowers. Even their own country could not meet the demand, and the quality was quite good.

  “In the future, we will let Carl supply the milk powder for our children after they are weaned.” As he said this, Song Mian quietly teased Yun Xiangxiang.

  Yun Xiangxiang’s face immediately turned hot. She poked him with her elbow and warned him with a fierce look in her eyes.

  In the end, Carl brought them to the kennel area. Carl had a lot of shepherd dogs, and he seemed to like dogs very much.

  “Carl’s dogs are also very well-bred. Many military police dogs are recruited from him every year,” Song Mian said to Yun Xiangxiang in a serious tone.

  Yun Xiangxiang looked at the strong dogs. They were trained by specialized breeders, so their reactions were very fast.

  There were also some disabled dogs that were well-taken care of. Carl seemed to like dogs very much, so he teased them for a while before walking over.

  “Half a month ago, I just bred a pure white shepherd dog,” Carl said. His son carried a dog that was not very big and white.

  The puppy should not have been weaned yet, but its fur was very beautiful and thick, shining under the sun.

  “Do you like it? I’ll give it to you as a gift,” Carl said to Yun Xiangxiang.

  Yun Xiangxiang was a little surprised. She actually did not know how to socialize with them. She did not know if it would be inappropriate to reject them or if it would not be good to accept them, so she looked at Song Mian.

  “Thank you on behalf of my fiance, Mr. Carl.” Song Mian reached out and carried the little brat over.

  The little puppy was still whining. Yun Xiangxiang liked this kind of cutie the most, but then she thought of the big, fat dog next to her.

  Then, she looked at the little brat. It would grow so big in less than a year and a half. Yun Xiangxiang had an indescribable expression on her face when she thought about it.

  Yun Xiangxiang seldom spoke during the whole process. After having the little puppy, she was even more focused on the little puppy.

  On the other hand, Carl’s daughter would come and accompany her to talk about the dog, the ranch, and the interesting places in the land of wine and flowers.

  Yun Xiangxiang listened attentively. She would express her thoughts from time to time, and then occasionally talk about the cultural landscape of China.

  Carl’s eldest daughter said that she wanted to be a doctor. When they learned that Yun Xiangxiang was a Chinese actress, both of them were surprised and said that they wanted to be an actress too. However, when both of them had signed up, they did not get into the relevant universities, so they could only regretfully choose other professions.

  After asking about Yun Xiangxiang’s works, Yun Xiangxiang told them one by one.

  For dinner, they stayed at the ranch. Carl’s wife was called Bian Xiu, a special name with a rare surname.

  Bian Xiu’s cooking skills were particularly good, especially the fruit cake soaked in strong rum. It was soft and mellow, and Yun Xiangxiang liked it very much. Before she left, she seemed to have noticed Yun Xiangxiang’s fondness for it, so she even made a box for Yun Xiangxiang to take home.

  However, Yun Xiangxiang only gave it away when she arrived it home. It was divided up among Song Yao and the others who smelled the fragrance.

  The little puppy didn’t follow them back. Carl knew that she would be staying here for ten days, so he raised the little puppy at the ranch first. After all, it wasn’t weaned yet, and there were still some procedures that needed to be done.

  When Yun Xiangxiang returned, she could bring it back to China.

  A shepherd dog was a dog that was very adaptable to the environment. Yun Xiangxiang was not worried that something would go wrong if she brought it back.

  However, she remembered that there was often no one at home, and if a shepherd dog was raised at home, it would restrain its nature.

  “Is it not good to send Rum to Uncle Song?” Yun Xiangxiang asked Song Mian tentatively.

  Because she had eaten a delicious cake, and the reason why it was so delicious and unique was because of the rum, Yun Xiangxiang directly named the little puppy Rum.

  “No, he’s only responsible for walking the dog, not raising it.” Song Mian smiled. “He’ll be happy to help you raise the dog so that you can visit him when you have time. He can’t wait for you to visit the Song residence more, no matter what the reason is.”


  “Uncle Song likes me so much, aren’t you afraid?” Yun Xiangxiang thought about how beautiful she was. There was nothing more satisfying than having her future father-in-law like her.

  “What am I afraid of?” Song Mian wrapped her arms around her waist. “You might not know this, but I’m already the one raising my father.”


  “So you’re saying that I’m working for you?” Yun Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows.

  “Of course.” Song Mian was quite proud of himself.

  “Can you tell me why you raised Uncle Song?” Yun Xiangxiang’s fingers circled around Song Mian’s chest. The smile on her lips was as malicious as the actions on her hands.

  Song Mian: “.……”


  He guessed that Yun Xiangxiang must have found out the reason. He was annoyed by the old man’s urging to get married.

  Could he tell Yun Xiangxiang the reason?

  Of course not. He couldn’t wait to get married right away.

  “Ahem.” Song Mian coughed and said seriously, “Father is getting old. You shouldn’t work too hard.”


  Yun Xiangxiang looked at Song Mian with a questioning gaze that said, “Do you think I believe you?”


  Song Chi was only in his early fifties, but he looked like he was only in his thirties. His body was so healthy that it was obvious at a glance.

  Song Mian was unperturbed. “You can see that it’s because father’s medical skills are too poor, so he had to retire early.”


  Yun Xiangxiang’s face twitched. Song Mian looking like he really didn’t want to expose his father made Yun Xiangxiang speechless.

  “That must have been hard on you.” Yun Xiangxiang held it in for a long time before saying this.

  Little did she know that Young Master Song was still climbing up the ladder. Wanting to tease her, Song Mian pressed Yun Xiangxiang’s hand on his chest. “So, you have to feel sorry for me.”
