When he opened his eyes the next day, it was already ten o'clock.

Yin Yanyue was the only one left on the bed. Tang Ao Shan's position beside her was already completely cold.

She got up, washed her face and rinsed her mouth before going downstairs.

Aunt Wang was cleaning the living room when she saw her going downstairs. The first thing she said was, "Does Miss want breakfast or lunch?"

"Let's not eat first. We'll wait until lunchtime to eat."

Yin Chengyue swept his gaze across the living room before finally stopping on Aunt Wang, "Where's Tang Ao Shan?"

She hadn't seen her since early in the morning. Just now, she had found out that the palace lord's room was also empty, meaning that both of them weren't home right now.

The two of them could have gone out together.

However, Aunt Wang's next words broke her conjecture.

"Miss Tang is in the backyard."

Aunt Wang looked in the direction of the back door and slowly said to Yin Yanyue, "Miss Tang likes to plant flowers. In the past few days, she's grown quite a few flowers."

Yin Yanyue nodded slowly. She didn't say anything else and walked towards the backyard.

Just as he walked out of the back door, he saw Tang Ao Shan squatting by the flower beds in the courtyard, digging at the dirt.

"What kind of flowers?"

Yin Yanyue squatted down beside her and looked at the pile of tools on the ground.

Tang Ao Shan focused on planting the flowers, not even lifting his head to look at her. With a calm tone, he said, "Wild flowers, whatever. I don't live here anyways, so what flowers I plant doesn't matter. Sooner or later someone will shovel them away."

Yin Chengyue turned his head to look at the white wildflowers, he paused for a moment and then said, "That might not be the case."

The young noble didn't care about the flowers and plants in the backyard, and she didn't have the energy to care about these things. In the end, she might not even be able to live here, so she left these flowers and plants to the housekeeper and the nanny in the villa.

"If you have nothing else to do, then go and get that spray bottle."

Tang Ao Shan raised her head and glanced at her before pointing at the flower watering tools not far away. "By the time I plant this flower, it'll be time for lunch."

Yin Yanyue didn't reply, but walked to the side and handed her the tools.

After that, they helped one another grow the flowers while the other grew them. It didn't take long for the flowers to grow.

Then it was indeed time for lunch.

Yin Chengyue and Tang Ao Shan sat face to face. After finishing their lunch, they both went back to their respective rooms to take an afternoon nap.

They did not have much interaction with each other during this entire process, so they really did not know what to say.

— —

It was four in the afternoon.

Yin Yanyue woke up from her nap, tidied up simply, and went out of the room.

Just as he reached the stairs, he heard Tang Ao Shan's voice from downstairs. "Do you want to have some afternoon tea?"

She stopped in her tracks, standing at the foot of the stairs. Looking down, she saw Tang Ao Shan wearing a long white dress. Her hair was scattered randomly around her head as she sat at the side of the table.

"Alright."

Yin Xiaoyue recovered from her shock and walked slowly to the tea table to sit down. She lifted her eyes to look at her face that was full of smiles.

"Do you know what's going to happen at tonight's dinner?"

Tang Shan was gently swinging the teacup in her hand. Her expression was unreadable, and her voice was a bit erratic. "Young Lord, you've really put quite a bit of effort into preparing this banquet."

"Yes."

Yin Yanyue looked at her coldly.

She was not the least bit curious about what would happen at tonight's banquet. No matter what happened, it would not change her determination to leave the palace.

She understood too clearly in her heart that she and Uncle Gu were not suited for each other at all.

Even though Tang Ao Shan could see how cold Yin Yanyue was to this matter, she continued, "Tonight, Young Lord will annul the engagement with me and announce your wedding date."

Date of marriage?

This time, he didn't even need to directly announce the engagement date, right?

The corner of Yin Yanyue's mouth twitched in ridicule, but he still did not give any reply.

She didn't believe that he had such great ability. If she didn't agree to the marriage, he wouldn't be forced to marry her.

Furthermore, she could be said to be the sole successor to the Palace Group. She was also the sole relative of Gong Ao. Whether in terms of status or status, she was superior to the viscount.

Tang Ao Shan saw that she still didn't reply and could only helplessly sigh, "Okay, think about it for yourself. As an outsider, it's not appropriate for me to interfere in your relationship. But I must speak a word of justice for the young lord. He truly loves you, and can even give up everything for you. "

Yin Yanyue's face stiffened, his expression couldn't help but change. "Pay full price?" These words aren't suitable for business people like Uncle Gu. "

As a true businessman, he knew the pros and cons. He would only choose things that would benefit him, not her.

Tang Ao Shan opened his mouth and was about to say something, but a sound came from outside the door, interrupting her words.

"Miss Yin."

After a while, Aunt Wang's figure appeared in front of them. "Your car is here to pick you up."

Yin Yanyue looked at the car outside the gate, nodded his head and slowly got up, then walked towards the gate without looking back.

She got into the car. The driver was a new face and wore glasses. He looked gentle and refined.

The car quickly started up and drove out of the villa's entrance.

Yin Hongyue leaned against the window, watching the cars coming and going outside. Her thoughts drifted very far away, but there was no fixed place.

When he finally came back to his senses, he realized that it had been more than half an hour.

Yin Yeyue turned her head and looked at the driver sitting in the driver's seat, "When will you be there?"

The driver glanced at her through the rear mirror, his voice normal. "We'll be there soon."

Yin Yanyue pursed her lips, paused for a second and suddenly frowned, her voice became colder by three points, "Who sent you?"

The driver didn't seem to be flustered. On the contrary, he looked normal as he replied with a smile, "Miss Yin, what are you joking about?" Of course it's the Palace Chief. "

It wasn't Uncle Gu.

Uncle Gu wouldn't let the driver bring her directly to the meeting place. Normally, he would first try on a set of formal attire before putting on makeup.

But now the car was heading in the direction of the meeting place.

Yin Yanyue dialed the number for the viscount. Then, she turned around and said to the driver as if nothing had happened, "Uncle Gu didn't tell you that I want to change into a new set of formal attire?"

The driver was stunned for a second, his expression was still the same as usual, "Director Gong told me to bring you to the meeting place first, he had his own plans after that."

At this moment, the call connected in secret, and the voice of the viscount came over the phone.

"Dye the moon?"

Yin Yeyue didn't answer him. She placed her phone on the side of the seat and continued speaking to the driver, "Oh right, what was your name just now?"

"Miss Yin, just call me Little Zhang." The driver smiled and looked in the rear mirror.

"When did Uncle Gu change his car?"

Yin Yanyue changed the topic. Ye Zichen took a glance at the interior layout of the car, and his gaze stopped at the decorations in front of the car. It was a piece of jade that seemed to have returned to the past. "It doesn't seem like his style."

"Oh. "This one." The driver followed her line of sight and noticed the pendant. He explained calmly, "Secretary Hu hung this pendant."

Lies.

Hu Wen couldn't afford such expensive decorations.
