"Little girl, is your surname Mu?"
"Mr. Ling, my name is Mu Qianqian, you can call me Qianqian."
Ling Yu was surprised by the way Mu Qianqian addressed him, but he soon understood.
Qianqian was very smart. The servant had only said 'Master Ling' before she changed her words.
Ling Yu took the shovel and chatted with Mu Qianqian while squatting on the ground and handling the orchids.
"Qianqian, your clothes are so beautiful, why do you wear a qipao? Don't girls usually like dresses designed by famous people? "
Mu Qianqian's small hand pulled on the shovel, unaware as Ling Yu stared at her.
"Mr. Ling, be careful, don't dig into the roots of the orchids! It's going to hurt a lot, right? "
Mu Qianqian reminded Ling Yu's actions as if she despised him. She then turned around and looked at Ling Yu with uncertainty, as if she was waiting for his answer. But then, she realized that Mr. Ling, who was beside her, was asking her something.
"Oh, Sister Lan and Yunrong said that Old Master Rong would be happier if I wore the qipao."
Ling Yu remembered the conversation between Mu Qianqian and the servant. Looking at the innocent little girl in front of him, he asked, "Rong Zhennan hates you?"
"It can't be considered to be annoying. At most, I just don't like it. I've been ignored for a few days already."
Mu Qianqian revealed her current situation and looked at the man who was willing to chat with her with a bashful expression. "You're Old Master Rong's friend, right? Then I …"
"Oh, it's fine. He and I have never been on good terms. My mother is good friends with old man Rong's mother, so I came to attend his birthday banquet because of my mother."
Mu Qianqian's face turned slightly red. She was grateful to Mister Ling for accepting her as such an unpopular person.
Actually, she could feel that Mister Ling was trying to soothe her emotions.
"Little girl Qianqian, you …"
"Mister Ling, what do you want to say?"
It was rare for someone who was willing to chat with her to do so. Seeing that Ling Yu was hesitating to speak, Qianqian didn't mind being asked questions at all, and she was also willing to answer Mr. Ling.
"You look very beautiful in your qipao, but you also look very much like someone I know."
Ling Yu still said what he felt from the bottom of his heart. Mu Qianqian's frown and smile, as well as her unscheming words, and the sincerity that seeped out from her bones and blood, all resembled his deceased mother too much.
It was just that his mother, who was also an unscheming woman, had died when he was very young, in the midst of the deceit of the Wealthy Class family.
"You don't mean to say I'm like your first love?" Mu Qianqian was stunned for a long time. She said something that made Ling Yu stunned.
"Hahahaha …"
Mu Qianqian's childish look got a laugh from Ling Yu. The girl in front of him would always make him happy.
Ling Yu did not tell them about his mother. After all, Qianqian was still too young, so he did not want to share the regret in his heart with others. However …
"How do you know I'm talking about my first girlfriend?" Ling Yu just wanted to tease the little girl.
"Oh my god, he's really so dog-blooded. This is what usually happens in TV dramas!"
"Hahahaha …"
Formidable laughter rang out from time to time from this small world in the garden. Mu Qianqian and Ling Yu chatted, and occasionally, Ling Yu's laughter would make her cheeks turn red.
The two of them didn't stand up and stare at each other until they had transplanted the orchids into the pot and washed their hands without looking at each other, under the water pipe that was used to water the flowers.
In the quiet garden, the two of them looked at each other with glee. A sense of familiarity lingered in their bodies and their blood.
Especially Mu Qianqian's exquisite face, which made Ling Yu absent-minded. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
Ling Yu wanted to say something, but a call came from nearby, causing the two people who were standing on the spot to look at each other.
When Mu Qianqian saw the newcomer, the smile on her face gradually froze, and eventually disappeared.
"Good, why are you here? "Zhennan will be angry if he doesn't see you later. It's very rude this way."
The complaint came from a well-kept lady in her late twenties, dressed in a proper champagne dress that wasn't very long, just above her knees.
The madame's shoulders were still covered with a white fur cape, and she was dressed in a very proper and reserved manner.
Beside her, there was a noble and elegant woman. She wore an exquisite silk dress with a very soft hem. When it was superimposed on each other, it gave the person wearing it an ethereal feeling.
She did not wear any clothes on her body. She only had a brooch designed to look like an orchid on her chest, giving her a dignified appearance.
"Dad, why did you sneak away again? It caused Mom and I to look for you for a long time."
Mu Qianqian saw Ling Jinghan holding Ling Yu's arm in a spoiled manner, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her heart.
She didn't expect that this Mr. Ling who acted like a friend to her at first sight would be Ling Jinghan's father, and the lady standing beside her would be Ling Jinghan and Ling Ao's mother, right?
Mu Qianqian raised her head to look at Mrs Nuowen, who was standing opposite of her. The feeling she had was marvelous and filled her heart with envy.
Mrs Nuowen also noticed Mu Qianqian's presence the first moment she came over. She was always very nervous about everyone around her husband, living in an aristocratic family all year round. Nuo Wen did not believe that there were so many coincidences in the world.
"Good, this lady is …?"
Ling Yu naturally understood his wife's thoughts. After so many years, she was always very nervous towards him.
Ling Yu pulled Nuo Wen along helplessly as he brought her and his daughter to face Mu Qianqian together.
"This is my new friend, Mu Qianqian," Ling Yu explained to his wife and daughter before turning to Mu Qianqian with a smile. "This is my wife, Nuo Wen, and my daughter, Ling Jinghan."
When the words "Mu Qianqian" came out of Ling Yu's mouth, Nuo Wen's expression froze for a split-second, but she quickly regained her composure.
"So, this is Mu Lili. I've often heard Jinghan mention her." Nuo Wen kept smiling gently, but Mu Qianqian's nerves tightened.
A proud look flashed across Ling Jinghan's eyes, but her expression remained as intimate as ever as she held her father's arm.
Ling Yu did not notice the changes in his wife and daughter and asked Ling Jinghan curiously, "Do you know Qianqian? In the future, you must bring more Qianqian to our house to play. I really like Qianqian. "
Nuo Wen looked at Mu Qianqian with a smile, but replied back to her husband, "There are a lot of people who like Miss Mu, so don't add fuel to the fire."
Nuo Wen's smile turned slightly cold after saying that, "If Miss Mu went to our house, I'm afraid Heting would come to our door right away. After all, Miss Mu has been with Heting for quite some time and Heting really likes her!"
