Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Qingcang was taken aback, not knowing how to respond to Xie Xuning’s accusations. He felt absolutely helpless.

I cannot afford to offend you, Boss.

The driver already drove up to Lang Garden. Xie Xuning carried the bouquet of roses and stepped out of the car. He felt as though he was in love.

When Uncle He saw him with the flowers, he could not help but smile to himself.

Lang Garden had now turned into a warm and loving home.

“Linlang.”

Xie Xuning saw Du Juan with Ye Linlang the minute he stepped into the house.

Du Juan was not aware of Linlang’s condition. She thought that both of them had always been together. She said, “I’m so jealous. You make me believe in love all over again.”

Ye Linlang knew that the flowers were meant for her, but she hesitated to them from him.

Ye Tianxin playfully grabbed the bouquet and stuffed it into Ye Lanlang’s hands.

“Mother, Father is so thoughtful. He even remembers to buy you flowers when he’s out.”

Ye Tianxin then gave Li Qingcang a questioning look, “Qingcang, what about me?”

Li Qingcang was speechless. He did not expect this to happen.

This time, he was in trouble. He did not know how to respond. He could not shift the blame to his future father-in-law.

He simply cleared his throat but did not answer.

Ye Tianxin was stunned.

Did Li Qingcang really come home empty-handed? That would’ve been very awkward.

Li Qingcang held Ye Tianxin’s hand and lowered his head. He then forced himself to smile and said, “I didn’t buy you any flowers.”

He was an honest man. He would own up to it if he did not buy them. There was no need to deny or explain anything.

“It’s all right. I don’t like flowers anyway. Come on, let’s go.”

Ye Tianxin grinned. She was not too bothered whether or not Li Qingcang bought flowers. It was not important to her at all. What mattered most was that he was right by her side. He was the best gift God had given her.

“Go quickly then,” Xie Xuning tried to hurry them along.

Ye Linlang walked toward Ye Tianxin with the flowers and said, “Tianxin, you can have these flowers.”

Ye Tianxin was amused, “Mother, these flowers are from Father. Besides, you don’t expect me to walk around on a date with such a big bunch of flowers, do you? It’s not convenient. All right, we’ll make our move now now.”

Ye Tianxin pulled Li Qingcang toward the door.

Just as they stepped out of the gate of Lang Garden, Shangguan Ling appeared with two pots of camellias.

Shanghuan Ling called out to Ye Tianxin, “Tianxin, are you going out?”

He acted as if he did not see Li Qingcang beside her.

No wonder his father asked him to bring the flowers to Lang Garden. It must’ve been because he knew Li Qingcang was there.

“Shangguan Ling, my father is at home. I’m going out now.”

Shangguan Ling was not in his uniform and was wearing a simple down jacket. He looked more casual and younger.

“Enjoy yourselves.”

Shangguan Ling and Li Qingcang smiled politely at each other.

Shangguan Ling went up to Xie Xuning as he entered the house, “My mother grew these camellias. My father insisted that I come and give them to you.”

Xie Xuning smiled and nodded. He heaved a big sigh of relief. He was thankful that Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang had already left. Li Qingcang would be even upset with him if he saw Shangguan Ling appear with the flowers.

“Qingcang, don’t be angry. My father must have been too excited and did not think of how you feel.” Ye Tianxin tried to explain to Li Qingcang as they got into the car. She buckled up her seat belt and turned to look at him.

“Tianxin, it’s all right. I have a flower in front of me.”

Ye Tianxin understood what Li Qingcang mean. She quipped, “Are you saying that I’m a beautiful flower?”
