Chapter 2048 - 674: Warning, Outsider, Light Feather_2
It was as if nothing had just happened.
Li Meihua warmly smiled and said, "Oh, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I ran into an old friend on the way, and they insisted on chatting for ages before I could get away!"
"It’s no problem, Auntie, we just finished chatting as well."
Li Meihua placed the shopping bags on the floor, changing her shoes as she said, "You all make yourselves at home, I’ll go in and start cooking. Tang Song, is there anything you’d like to eat? Tell Auntie, and I’ll make it for you!"
"Auntie, whatever you make, I’ll eat. Your specialty will be perfect."
"Alright!" Li Meihua tied her apron and briskly headed to the kitchen.
Qiuqiu glanced at him and said softly, "I... I’ll go help my mom, it’ll speed things up. You sit for a while."
With that, she dashed into the kitchen like a startled deer.
Watching her hurried back, Tang Song couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Then, he sat back on the sofa and picked up his phone.
He opened X and checked Su Yu’s latest post.
First, he hit the repost button.
Then, after a moment of thought, he typed a comment: "Supporting my favorite female star, hoping to be the lucky ’male koi.’ @SuYu."
After this, he contentedly put away his phone and leisurely leaned back on the sofa.
Listening to the lively conversation from the kitchen, mixed with the clatter of pots and pans, his lips curled into a warm smile.
He could feel that Qiuqiu was slowly opening up.
And it seemed that her relationship with her mother was also beginning to thaw in this warm, everyday life.
Perhaps she really was lacking in love.
Like a flower growing in a dark corner, never having seen sunlight.
Just a little warmth and kindness would make it strive and struggle to bloom towards the light in its most beautiful form.
And offering her care, showing her kindness, bringing her out of the past’s quagmire, and ultimately witnessing her bloom.
Tang Song found himself receiving a profound sense of satisfaction from this process.
Perhaps this was the true meaning of the [Dream Flower Seed] tool.
...
France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region.
Tang Jin Manor.
The afternoon sun spread over the expansive lawn and rolling vineyards, painting the whole world in a warm and lazy golden hue.
A crisp and rhythmic sound of horse hooves echoed in the air.
Secretary Jin, dressed in a custom-made white equestrian outfit, was riding a sleek, shiny black Andalusian horse.
On the manor’s exclusive course, she was undergoing obstacle jumping training.
Her back was straight, her waistline slender, her pose impeccably elegant, as if she were one with the noble purebred horse beneath her.
In the sunlight, her exquisite face blushed with the healthy glow of exercise, with sweat dampening her temples, adding a vibrant heroic spirit to her aura.
With the training over, she dismounted the horse smoothly and gracefully.
The groom, who had been waiting nearby, respectfully stepped forward to take the breathless horse.
Secretary Jin wiped her sweat with a towel as she walked into the rest area beside the course.
Soon after, a loud whistle sounded, and a sizzling hot figure rushed over, warmly embracing her.
"Seriously, Mira. Watching you ride is even more exciting than the Olympics, you’re simply stunning."
Anne Kate was dressed in a black sports bra and high-waisted leggings, her muscles toned and firm, exuding wild and confident energy, brimming with a scorching hormonal aura.
"Darling, I’m riding a horse, not wrestling with you. Please maintain a proper noble social distance."
Secretary Jin gently freed herself from Anne’s embrace and moved to the bar to pour herself a glass of iced soda water with a few fresh lemon slices.
She slowly sipped it as she admired the picturesque countryside view outside the window.
[Tang Jin Manor] had just been put into formal use.
This was her first time enjoying its scenery in full.
Anne, however, wouldn’t let up and joined her, pouring herself a glass of deep red, blood-like estate-produced wine, exclaiming exaggeratingly, "I swear to God, Mira, this place is paradise. Private airstrip, top-notch equestrian course, and this damn estate wine, richer than Bordeaux’s premier grand cru! I absolutely love it here!"
She then began showering praises non-stop.
Secretary Jin listened with a smile, occasionally responding with a word or two.
After a moment, Anne suddenly exclaimed loudly and turned her phone screen towards her, a mischievous grin on her face:
"Hey! Look at this! That female star is openly declaring war on you."
Secretary Jin paused, set down her glass, and glanced at her phone.
She immediately saw the screenshot Su Yu had sent in the WhatsApp group.
It was the post Tang Song recently reposted, commenting on Su Yu’s "birthday draw" event.
Su Yu deliberately circled the words "favorite" in red ink in Tang Song’s comment.
They stood out distinctly.
Secretary Jin’s fingertips paused almost imperceptibly, a chill flashing in her eyes.
Anne stoked the flames nearby, saying, "Want me to knock some sense into her? Let her know who the real mistress of this house is?"
"No need." Jin Meixiao’s voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable authority, "I have my own plans, don’t interfere."
