Han Ye took Xiao Lei around the mansion, showing her the greenhouse where Old Madam Du usually spent her days in when she was not out with her friends or when she was not playing with her grandchildren.
"Are you sure it's alright for us to be here?" Xiao Lei asked when Han Ye told her that this place was Old Madam Du's favorite place in the mansion.
"It's fine..." Han Ye smiled as he gave her hand a squeeze. He then showed her around the greenhouse, where he pointed out each and every type of flower to her. When Xiao Lei kept staring at a row of red flowers, Han Ye smiled and said, "Xiao Lei, you know how each flower has its own meaning, right?"
"Yeah..."
Han Ye pointed at the red flowers and asked, "That's the scarlet sage, also known as the red salvia. Do you like it?"
She nodded. "I think it's quite pretty."
Han Ye hugged her suddenly, and when Xiao Lei looked up at him in pleasant surprise, he added, "Forever mine..."
