Seeing Xu Chuan get out of the car, Yun Miao immediately sat up straight.

Sheng Yinian leaned back in his chair, tilting his head slightly to look at her, patiently waiting for her to speak.

Yunmiao's fingers unconsciously dug into the leather seat.

Thinking that I'd have to say it sooner or later anyway, I might as well get it over with quickly.

"Um..." Meeting Sheng Yinian's gaze, she immediately cowered, "Are you going to be busy later?"

So she said something completely unrelated.

"Hmm." Sheng Yinian nodded slightly. "There are still some things to take care of at the company."

"Okay, then you go and take care of it. I'm leaving now."

As Yunmiao spoke, she turned around to open the car door.

But someone grabbed her wrist from behind.

She looked back.

Sheng Yinian glanced into her eyes and spoke indifferently.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Yunmiao bit her lip.

"That's right, Sheng Shichen..."

Sheng Yinian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Yunmiao's words immediately caught in her throat, and she didn't dare to say the rest.

"You want to plead for him?" he asked.

Yun Miao nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook her head.

"Y-you...don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just showing concern for him as an elder. Actually..."

"An elder?" Sheng Yinian interrupted her.

Yun Miao was stunned for a moment.

Realizing what I had said, my mind went blank.

It's all Sheng Shichen's fault. He kept calling her "Seventh Aunt" in the video, which made her subconsciously regard herself as his elder.

What she just said...wasn't it a bit too shameless?!

But she did promise them, so she had to keep her word, right?

Fine, I'll go all out. I'll throw all my pride away today.

"Yes, you're his seventh uncle, so I'm his seventh...seventh...seventh...seventh aunt..."

After saying that, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

She lowered her head, staring at the picture book on her lap, her ears burning red.

Silence fell over the carriage, and every second stretched out.

Yunmiao felt it was too much to bear, so she had no choice but to speak up.

"If you don't agree..."

"Come back."

Yun Miao suddenly looked up at him.

"You...agree?"

Sheng Yinian smiled slightly and nodded.

Yunmiao found it hard to believe.

Things seemed much easier than she had imagined...

"Then I won't keep you any longer, you go ahead with your work."

She turned to leave, but Sheng Yinian still held her wrist tightly.

"There are conditions."

Yunmiao's heart jumped again.

Sure enough, she knew it wouldn't be that easy.

She looked at him warily: "What are the conditions?"

"I'll take the Dragon Boat Festival holiday."

Yun Miao was slightly taken aback.

That's it?

She quietly put her mind at ease.

"Okay!"

-

In the following days, Sheng Yinian went to the United States.

Whenever she had free time, Yunmiao would hold that picture book and look at it over and over again.

The designer of Wen Ruan's wedding dress is Su Lingyi, and people in the industry respectfully call her "Teacher Su".

She doesn't produce many works; it's said she only releases two sets a year.

He never gives media interviews, and you can't even find a clear photo of him online. He's so low-key that he's almost mysterious, but every piece of his work is so exquisite that you can't take your eyes off him.

Yunmiao searched through all the materials she could find, saving each of her publicly released works one by one, until she had saved less than ten.

She loved every single one of them, so much so that she copied them over and over again in her sketchbook.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday has arrived.

On the morning of the first day of the holiday, Yunmiao woke up.

After a while, just as I was about to sit up, my peripheral vision caught sight of the sofa by the French windows, and I paused.

A person is sitting on the sofa.

He leaned back on the sofa, his eyes closed, with a black suitcase next to him.

She knew Sheng Yinian had returned from the United States last night, but she never expected to see him the moment she opened her eyes this morning.

She thought he would return to Tanjing Garden.

Although the movement on the bed was subtle, Sheng Yinian still opened his eyes.

When Yunmiao saw that he was awake, she sat up.

She glanced discreetly at the black suitcase next to the sofa.

"You haven't packed your suitcase, is it... another business trip?"

"Hmm." Sheng Yinian got up and slowly walked to the bedside. "Let's go to Hong Kong."

Upon hearing this, Yun Miao felt a surge of secret joy.

A free three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday...and here it is!

It was really hard to suppress the urge to smile, so she quickly lowered her head.

"oh."

Her voice sounded somewhat downcast.

"You just got back from America, and you're leaving again?"

Sheng Yinian stopped by the bedside, looking down at her with a calm gaze.

"You can't bear to part with me?"

Yun Miao nodded obediently.

"Don't be reluctant." Sheng Yinian leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips. "You're coming with me."

Yun Miao suddenly looked up.

Oh no, we overestimated ourselves.

"Um...you're going to Hong Kong on a business trip, would it be a bother if I went with you?"

Sheng Yinian lifted her out of the blanket: "No."

Yunmiao wanted to say something more, but Sheng Yinian had already carried her to the bathroom.

"Let's wash up first, have breakfast, and then we'll set off."

After washing up, Yunmiao was led downstairs by Sheng Yinian's hand.

So that day he said he would give him his three-day holiday so that he could accompany him on his business trip?

After thinking it over, she still felt somewhat unwilling.

"Sheng Yinian, can I not go to Gangcheng?"

"cannot."

Why?

"Isn't it because you can't bear to part with me?"

"..."

You reap what you sow!

But Yunmiao still didn't really want to go.

As she walked, she pondered how to avoid going.

It seems that a direct approach won't work; we'll have to resort to a roundabout tactic.

How about... we just act out for a bit?

The best approach would be to have a small argument with him, and then use being in a bad mood as an excuse not to go.

Okay, let's do it this way!

When she reached the top of the stairs, Yunmiao suddenly stopped.

She pulled her hand out of Sheng Yinian's palm.

Sheng Yinian turned around and looked at her.

"Sheng Yunian, I want to eat Xiangji's steamed buns."

Yun Miao slightly raised her chin, as if to say that she wouldn't be able to discuss anything without getting the steamed buns.

However, she did like that steamed bun; the skin was thin and the filling was generous, and the soup would splash all the way up to her chin when she took a bite.

Moreover, that store is extremely popular; if you go to buy it at this time, it will be sold out long ago.

Butler Zhang, who was waiting nearby, quickly stepped forward.

"Miss Yun, Xiangji has steamed buns. We know you like them, so your husband brought some over this morning. Please move to the dining room."

Yunmiao: "???"

Fine.

The steamed buns are innocent and shouldn't be neglected; eat them first.

Yunmiao ate her fill.

After leaving the restaurant, she devised another plan when her first scheme failed.

I changed my shoes before leaving the house.

She sat on the low stool in the entryway, looking up at Sheng Yinian.

"I want to wear the blue shoes you bought me last month."

Sheng Yinian glanced at her indifferently, asked no further questions, and turned to go upstairs.

Yunmiao watched his retreating figure with some anticipation.

The right shoe of that pair of shoes had a cut on it that she had accidentally made a while ago.

She really liked those shoes, and was sad for quite a while afterward.

However, this opening will come in handy today.

She planned to refuse to go out because she was in a bad mood due to not having satisfactory shoes.

This scheme!

Yunmiao secretly gave herself a perfect score.

A short while later, Sheng Yinian came downstairs, carrying a shoebox in his hand.

He knelt down in front of her and opened the box.

Yunmiao picked up the right foot first and pointed with her hand.

"Sheng Yunian, look here..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

???

What about that opening?

She took the shoe and examined it closely, only to discover that this one was actually brand new!

So, Sheng Yinian bought her a new pair?

"What's wrong here?" Sheng Yinian asked casually.

Yunmiao held it in for a long time.

He poked his finger on the shoe and squeezed out a dry sentence.

"It's so smooth here."

Sheng Yinian chuckled softly, took the shoes from her hand, held her ankle, and slowly put them on for her.

After putting on both shoes, Yunmiao wanted to make one last effort.

"These shoes are so new, I can't bear to wear them out; they'll get dirty if I step on them."

Sheng Yinian picked her up and carried her to the courtyard.

"Then I won't step on it."

Yunmiao collapsed into his arms.

She stopped pretending and secretly dug at his chest through his shirt with her fingers.

She just wanted to have a fight, why is it so difficult!
