However, the fragrance of the flowers was very clean and normal, unlike the time when she was tricked into going to the Golden Hotel.
Half an hour later.
Under Louann's lead, she arrived at the seventh floor of the castle, in front of Ling Shitian's study room.
Louann opened the door and respectfully said to her, "Miss, young master and master are waiting for you inside."
Tang Xiaowei snapped out of her thoughts, nodded and walked in.
There was no need to guess who the young master that Louann was referring to was. It was Ling Yijue.
She recalled that he had also rushed onto the stage earlier. Even though she was wearing a mask, he had recognized her.
She sighed softly and walked into the study room before raising her head to look inside.
Ling Shitian was originally sitting on a chair while Ling Yijue was standing beside him.
When they heard the sound of someone entering, both of them looked over.
Ling Shitian was smiling while Ling Yijue's gaze carried a sense of forbearance.
"Little rosette, you're finally here. Come quickly, Uncle Tian will introduce you. Although you and Ah Jue should know each other. You were just friends before. Now, you're brother and sister." Ling Shitian stood up. He took the initiative to walk forward with a smile to welcome Tang Xiaowei.
His behavior made Ling Yijue feel surprised.
Even if the recipient was Tang Xiaowei, Ling Yijue also felt surprised. This was because Ling Shitian had never been so gentle to anyone before.
Moreover, Ling Yijue also felt strange that he suddenly took Tang Xiaowei as his adopted daughter.
Tang Xiaowei smiled weakly at Ling Shitian before looking at Ling Yijue. Her tone was a little stiff as she said, "Ah Jue."
"Xiaowei, why did this happen?" Ling Yijue could not help it at all. He did not want to be her elder brother at all.
Ling Yijue did not expect that when he heard that his adoptive father had taken in an adopted daughter, that she would be an opponent.
He did not expect that the opponent would be Tang Xiaowei.
Since it was her, he would not treat her as an opponent anymore.
However, he could not accept her becoming his sister.
It was obvious that because he let go of her before, he and Tang Xiaowei could not easily return to the past. Now that they were brother and sister, they had no chance.
Tang Xiaowei thought that he wanted to ask about why she suddenly became his sister. However, she did not know if she should tell him, so she only glanced at him and remained silent.
Ling Shitian also knew what his adopted son wanted to ask. After all, when he sent people to capture Tang Xiaowei, he found out that his adopted son had a woman he liked and wanted to get rid of her. Who knew that this woman was actually Shangguan Yuyu's child.. He naturally could not bear to hurt this child and even wanted to acknowledge this child as his adopted daughter.
Therefore, in his eyes, the happiness of his adopted son, Ling Yijue, in his entire life was not as important as him being able to have a daughter.
He saw that Tang Xiaowei was in a difficult position and did not say anything, so Ling Yijue continued to ask. He then said in a deep voice, "Ah Jue, I don't care what kind of feelings you have for little Qiang Wei in the past, but in the future, she will be your younger sister. You have to take good care of her and don't allow anyone to bully her. Of course, you are also not allowed to have such thoughts towards her, understand?"
"Father, I love Xiaowei. I am not related to her by blood, you can't treat me like this." Ling Yijue did not care what his father was thinking. In any case, he did not want Tang Xiaowei to suddenly become his sister.
This was the first time he had talked back in front of Ling Shitian, struggling for his own things.
"You are disobeying my orders, right?" Ling Shitian stopped smiling and his expression immediately turned cold.
Ling Yijue was still the same as before, extremely serious. "Father, I don't want to become brother and sister with Xiaowei. I love her."
"Then do you know what she is thinking? If she doesn't love you, I won't allow you to Ppester her." Ling Shitian saw Ling Yijue's serious and pained expression. Initially, he wanted to threaten him a little more, but Ling Yijue's expression was obviously sincere towards Tang Xiaowei.
Thus, Ling Shitian subconsciously remembered his past. Thinking about it, his expression became a little relaxed.
Perhaps, he couldn't be with Yuyu, but if Xiaoqiang and Ah Jue were in love, he could help them. In this way, Xiaoqiang would become his daughter-in-law, similar to his daughter.
Thus, he immediately looked at Tang Xiaowei. "Xiao Qiang Wei, tell me, do you like Ah Jue? If you like Ah Jue, Uncle Tian will make the decision for you and hold your wedding."
Ling Yijue did not expect that his adoptive father, who had just fiercely told him not to pester Tang Xiaowei, would suddenly change his mind to help him.
While he was surprised, he was elated and looked at Tang Xiaowei expectantly.
As for Tang Xiaowei, she was completely stunned by Ling Shitian's change.
One second ago, Ling Shitian did not allow Ling Yijue to pester her, and the next second, he wanted to set her up with Ling Yijue.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Uncle Tian, I don't want to talk about love now, so don't force me anymore." She was serious as she calmly told him about her situation.
If she really had the mood to talk about love now, then she would be too heartless. That way, she would not feel heartbroken for Huangfu Qiye.
Thinking of him, she thought of how she seemed to have stabbed him with scissors just now. His body was covered in blood, and she did not know if he was dead.
When she thought of the possibility that he was dead, her expression froze and her face turned pale.
Ling Shitian and Ling Yijue saw that she refused to talk about this topic and their expressions changed. They thought that she really hated talking about such things, so they looked at each other and thought that it was better not to force her now.
Ling Shitian instructed Ling Yijue, "Ah Jue, go back. I have something to say to my little rosette."
Ling Yijue took the initiative to speak, "Father, will little Wei live in the castle from now on?"
Ling Shitian nodded, "Of course, Xiaoqiang will also be the young miss of the castle from now on. Of course, she will live here."
Ling Yijue's tone was serious, "Then I will move back here from today."
"Oh?" Ling Shitian revealed a faint smile. He didn't expect that this adopted son really had a deep affection for Xiaoqiang.
"Father doesn't allow it?" Ling Yijue was surprised that his father didn't agree, but looked at him with a meaningful smile.
"Why not? I used to live alone in this castle. Now that you and Xiaoqiang have come back to accompany me, of course I am happy. Alright, since you are moving back, you will definitely be busy for a while. You can go out first." Ling Shitian looked at Ling Yijue with rare tenderness.
"Thank you, father." Ling Yijue seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief before turning around to leave. However, before he left, he gave Tang Xiaowei a meaningful look.
