“Did you come up with this on your own?”
Long Sijue was speechless for a while.
“No…”
Long Sijue was extremely depressed. How was it possible for him to think of such a retarded sentence…
It seemed like he should have a good chat with the butler later…
“I quite like it.” Su Qianxun let go of his hand and ran over happily. She bent over and lightly touched these adorable flowers, and she could not hold back the smile on her face.
Long Sijue’s breath hitched slightly when he heard what she said. He looked at how she cherished these flowers and he also had a gentle look in his eyes.
“Did you build this greenhouse? The flowers are all quite beautiful.” Su Qianxun squatted down and carefully plucked a bunch of lilies of the valley and tucked it behind her ear. She turned around to look at the man not far away from her and asked, “Do I look good?”
Long Sijue’s expression turned even gentler, “Very good.”
“Do you also like lily of the valley? I noticed that there are a lot of lilies of the valley in your house.” Su Qianxun blinked and asked.
She had long wanted to ask him this question. Also, he had given her a lily of the valley anklet when they just knew each other for a short while. It seemed like he also had a special preference for this type of flower.
Long Sijue walked over and stared at her when he answered with a soft voice, “Yes.”
“What a coincidence! This is also my favorite type of flower. Why do you like this type of flower?” Su Qianxun was somewhat curious and questioned closely.
Long Sijue was speechless.
“Could it be… the girl you liked before liked this type of flower?” Su Qianxun’s heart almost stopped beating when she asked him that.
Long Sijue stared at her and gently confirmed it.
Su Qianxun’s expression was frozen on her face, and she felt a heavy sensation in her chest. She immediately turned around and continued to look at the flowers. Damned it, why did she ask about it? She was upset now that she knew the answer.
“This greenhouse is a gift to you, to congratulate you on receiving the award.” Long Sijue walked over and said.
“Oh, thank you. Are you giving the land to me too?” Su Qianxun sounded somewhat stiff because of her bad mood.
“I will give it to you if you like it.” Long Sijue’s brows were lightly furrowed together as he sensed the change in her mood.
“Then that’s a deal. The person who backs out is a puppy!”
Long Sijue was silent for a moment.
“Are you alright? Unhappy?”
“No! How is that possible!” Su Qianxun said stubbornly.
Long Sijue was left speechless.
“When you’re younger, did you go to the orphanage with your maternal grandfather to do good deeds?” Long Sijue suddenly asked an unrelated question.
“I went during the weekends.” Su Qianxun was somewhat upset when she answered.
Long Sijue remained silent for a while.
Long Sijue stared at her side profile and only said after a long while, “I spent some time in an orphanage before.”
Su Qianxun was somewhat surprised as she stared at him after she heard what he said, “You spent time in an orphanage? Aren’t you the descendant of the Long family? Why did you go to such a place?”
“Because of some special reasons.” Long Sijue did not really want to mention that past.
“Actually, the orphanage is not good at all.” Su Qianxun was somewhat disappointed and said.
Long Sijue was at a loss of words.
Long Sijue stared at her with a complicated gaze, and suddenly carried her in his arms, “Let’s go back.”
Su Qianxun did not object to that too, so she let him carry her inside. Long Sijue was still carrying her like he was carrying a child. Su Qianxun would definitely have felt extremely awkward if this had happened in the past, but now she actually felt very comfortable. She leaned her head against his chest, took down the bunch of flowers that were tucked behind her ear, and slowly played with it.
After the two of them returned to the bedroom, Su Qianxun noticed that there were a few boxes on the bed. She stared suspiciously at the man who was carrying her and asked, “What are those?”
