261 Heart Flower

“What are you going to do about Fang Wanli?” Huang Hong asked.

The man in black shrugged and spread out his hands. “What else can I do? That person has such a special ability. His identity is always changing. His disguise technique has reached the point of perfection. It’s not easy to find him. Back then, I could only make this person work for me because his mentor owed me a favor and asked him to repay it.”

“Then aren’t you afraid that such a person will be used by others to deal with you?” Huang Hong thought of something and said, “You have to know that if Fang Wanli disguises himself as your trusted aide, it will be easy for him to kill you!”

The man in black sneered when he heard Huang Hong’s words.

“His superb disguise techniques are indeed impossible to guard against, but there’s no need to be so afraid! Don’t worry, he can’t kill me! Huang Hong, you should focus on your own business! I came today to tell you that you only have a month left!”

With that, the man in black disappeared from the Huang family’s house.

Huang Hong stared at the other party’s departing figure with a sullen expression.

“Hmph, when I get the eagle chicks, you’ll have to beg me!”

When the man in black heard his words from afar, he sneered disdainfully and walked even faster!

There were always many delusional people in this world who always wanted something that didn’t belong to them.

Unfortunately, the ignorant him didn’t know that there was always someone better!

The shop had been cleaned up again and would open for business tomorrow.

Li Xiaoran took stock of the remaining things in the shop to see what else she needed to add.

In addition, Li Xiaoran also checked Yuan Cheng’s income records during the new year. After confirming that there were no problems, she placed the account book aside.

“You must be tired! Come and have a cup of tea! I made this tea. Try it!” Seeing that Li Xiaoran was done, Luo Cheng pulled her to a corner of the shop and pointed at the coffee table in front of him.

Li Xiaoran sat down and scooped out some water with a gourd. Then, she washed her hands and picked up the tea to drink.

After drinking a mouthful of tea, Li Xiaoran glanced at Luo Cheng in surprise.

“Looks like my tea suits your taste!” After Luo Cheng said this with a smile, he also picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

“Actually, I don’t know much about tea. I just like tea that tastes subtle and fragrant! If only there were some dried jasmine in this tea! This way, it will have a jasmine fragrance and taste better when brewed!” Li Xiaoran smiled as she took another sip.

“Add dried jasmine?” Luo Cheng felt a little baffled when he heard this suggestion. “Wife, are you sure the tea will taste better with dried jasmine?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can try it!” Li Xiaoran suggested with a smile.

Luo Cheng thought about it and nodded.

“Since you’ve said so, I naturally have to give it a try!”

With that, Luo Cheng remembered something else and said, “We seem to have forgotten about someone for a long time!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately thought of Third Master Xue.

“Third Master Xue is still here?”

“Of course he is. He doesn’t have the ability to escape from my hands!” Luo Cheng said.

“Then has he suffered during this period?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.

“Of course!” Luo Cheng thought of something and smiled happily. “I guarantee that you won’t recognize Third Master Xue when you see him later.”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood.

“Are you taking me to see Third Master Xue?”

“It’s not that I want to bring you there. Third Master Xue said that he’ll only tell the truth if you’re around!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s go take a look! I also want to know why Third Master Xue came!”

After that, the two of them walked towards the Luo family’s house.

However, this time, Luo Cheng didn’t bring Li Xiaoran back to the house. Instead, he went to the forest behind the house.

“Are you bringing me to the wine cellar?” Li Xiaoran looked in the direction and asked in confusion.

“No, I asked Ziyang to get us a garden. Just follow me!” Luo Cheng smiled and turned to look at Li Xiaoran.

“Garden?” Li Xiaoran was even more puzzled when she heard this. “Haven’t the peach trees you planted been cut off? What flowers can there be?”

“You’ll know when you come with me!” Luo Cheng walked over with a smile, then he held Li Xiaoran’s hand and walked forward.

They walked through a forest, past the wine cellar where the wine was hidden, and then a few steps ahead. Their vision suddenly lit up.

Pink and purple flowers dotted the mountains, as if they had entered a paradise.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery.

The flowers were blooming like a piece of brocade, lavish and gorgeous.

“These are Magnolias. Only Magnolias can bloom so beautifully without being too over the top. It makes people marvel at the beauty of nature. As far as I know, Magnolias symbolize love for nature!” Li Xiaoran marveled at the beautiful scenery in front of her and couldn’t help but approach the beautiful flowers.

“Actually, there’s another allusion to Magnolias. It’s called the flower of appreciation! It symbolizes gratitude, sincerity, romance, and pure love. Back then, when I first saw these prosperous and blooming Magnolias in the mountains, I was deeply mesmerized. Later, I learned that this flower was called Magnolia and what it symbolized, so I liked it even more. All these years, I’ve been searching everywhere and planted many Magnolias here. I wanted to have a Magnolia garden and stroll in it with the person I love!” Luo Cheng looked at the Magnolias around him and then smiled at Li Xiaoran.

Reaching out, Luo Cheng smiled and said, “Wife, are you willing to accompany me for the rest of my life? We’ll enjoy the scenery of this mountain and garden, as well as all the other wonders in life!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she smiled and placed her hand in Luo Cheng’s.

“I’ll repeat the same thing. As long as you don’t leave me, I’ll be with you for the rest of my life! I’ll admire flowers with you, go up the mountain with you, and do whatever you want with you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, they clasped hands and strolled around happily.

After getting tired of walking, Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran to a straw hut and sat down in the courtyard dam with a straw mat.

“By the way, aren’t we here to see Third Master Xue? Where is he?” Li Xiaoran remembered something and asked.
