Chapter 3078

Yun Ling paused after speaking, then continued, "On this point, I actually envy Yun Meng. At least she doesn't have to force a marriage alliance just for the Yun family inheritance."

"So you want to follow Yun Meng's example too?" Yun Qichu said angrily.

Yun Ling replied, "If I could, I really would like to learn from Yun Meng."

"Are you going to defy me like Yun Meng?" Yun Qichu looked at Yun Ling with dissatisfaction.

Yun Ling glanced at Yun Qichu calmly. "It’s not defiance. It’s just the truth. If there was fate, this problem wouldn’t have arisen at the engagement. Dad, I understand your cultivation isn’t deep enough. But what I can’t understand is that you have little ability, yet you act like a top expert. Why bother? Although you are the nominal head of the Yun family, everyone respects you only because of Grandpa and me. So, if you want to be the head, please do it properly. Don’t mess with my life anymore, okay?"

Yun Ling added, "I’m going out for training. I don’t know when I’ll return. Call me if there’s an emergency. Otherwise, don’t bother me. Forget about the engagement. I have no interest. Maybe when I come back from the mountain, I’ll bring you a son-in-law."

"Don’t be reckless. Our family values matching social status," Yun Qichu warned Yun Ling hurriedly.

Yun Ling sneered. "What era is this? Still talking about matching status? Besides, what do we have that requires matching status? We just have a few Soul Catchers. Dad, your mindset really needs to change. Forget it. I’m leaving."

Yun Ling left immediately. Whether Yun Qichu would be angry didn’t matter to her.

After Yun Ling left, Yun Qichu grabbed the cup in front of him and smashed it on the floor. "One after another, all like this. It would have been better if I hadn’t had them."

"You only provided a little tadpole. The person who gave birth to them wasn’t you," the old man said slowly, standing up. "Old He, help me back to my room. I can’t even eat breakfast in peace."

The butler came over and helped the old man leave.

Yun Ling drove her luggage down the mountain. When she saw First Soul coming down, she smiled.

First Soul smiled gently at her, then drove, taking Yun Ling away.

Yun Meng didn’t know what happened in the Yun family. Naturally, she didn’t know about Yun Ling and First Soul either.

Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng didn’t pay much attention to Yun Ling’s situation. After all, it was a debt from Yun Ling’s past life. As long as Yun Ling wasn’t in danger, Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng wouldn’t intervene.

"Wife, there seem to be not many chrysanthemums left in the shop," Yan Xizhong said one day while helping Yun Meng organize the flowers.

"Yes, I noticed that yesterday. So I contacted the flower cultivation base yesterday. They will ship them today," Yun Meng said.

Yan Xizhong hummed, then said, "Wife, should I bring my laptop down and keep you company at the flower shop?"

"If you have free time, come down," Yun Meng said. She didn’t object, knowing it would be useless to refuse anyway.

Seeing his wife agree, Yan Xizhong brought his computer down from upstairs. In the flower shop, one arranged flowers while the other used the computer. It felt like a peaceful moment.

"Boss, do you have bellflowers here?" A little girl walked in.

"Yes, little sister, do you want bellflowers?" Yun Meng asked curiously.

"I want them for my mom. Today is her birthday. She loves bellflowers the most," the little girl said, handing Yun Meng some money.

Yun Meng was slightly stunned. She looked at the little girl, then said to Yan Xizhong, "Xizhong."

Yan Xizhong looked up, saw the little girl, and was slightly surprised. He came over and smiled. "Little Orange wants bellflowers?"

"How do you know my name is Little Orange?" the little girl asked curiously, looking at Yan Xizhong.

Yan Xizhong smiled. "There is nothing in this world that I don’t know." Then he turned to Yun Meng. "Three bellflowers, one red spider lily."

"Okay," Yun Meng went to wrap the flowers.

Yan Xizhong said, "Little Orange, after giving the flowers to your mom, remember to leave early."

Little Orange looked at Yan Xizhong, confused. "Why?"

Yan Xizhong smiled. "You’ll know when you go. Little Orange, remember, your mom loves you. But sometimes, the best way to love is to forget."

Little Orange still didn’t understand. She looked at Yan Xizhong, hoping for an answer.

Yan Xizhong still smiled. "When you see your mom, you’ll understand. If you can’t find the way after giving the flowers, follow this red spider lily."

Yan Xizhong tapped lightly. A red spider lily turned into a pattern and attached itself to her clothes.

Yun Meng brought the flowers over. Yan Xizhong put them in Little Orange’s hands. "Go."

Little Orange smiled purely at Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng. "Thank you, Uncle. Thank you, Sister."

Then she left.

Yan Xizhong blinked. "Why are you Sister and I am Uncle? If I am Uncle, you should be Aunt. If you are Sister, I should be Brother-in-law or Brother."

"Children just say things casually. Why are you taking it to heart?" Yun Meng looked at Yan Xizhong helplessly.

"Because it’s casual, I know what she thinks," Yan Xizhong said, feeling helpless inside.

Yun Meng didn’t bother with it. "Alright, it’s just a child’s careless words. Don’t take it to heart."

Yan Xizhong said, "Next time I see this little girl, I’ll make her change the title."

Seeing Yan Xizhong being so childish was rare, so Yun Meng just ignored him.

She said, "That little girl seems to have been dead for a while. Why is she still lingering here?"

"Three years ago, Little Orange was hit by a drunk driver while buying a bellflower for her mom. Her obsession was to give flowers to her mom. So every year on her mom’s birthday, she buys flowers. But few people can see her. This time, she happened to come to your shop. Since we can both see her, it settles one of her worries.

But three years have passed. Her mom has moved on from the grief of losing her child. Moreover, she now has a new life."

"So you told her to leave after giving the flowers," Yun Meng understood.

"Yes," Yan Xizhong said. "The little girl is too obsessed. Being too obsessed is not good. I gave her a red spider lily to make her understand that her parents don’t dislike her. They just need new comfort after losing her. Only then can she leave."

"Shall we see how the little girl is doing now?" After hearing Yan Xizhong’s words, Yun Meng still felt a bit worried, so she suggested.
