"No wonder it is so delicious." Ling Jue nodded. "Wrap me a few more. Hmm, three more."
"Alright, little brother, you can come here often if you like. The syrup in the morning is the best, and the hawthorn in the morning is also fresh."
"Sure."
Guan Cheng held the candied haw in his hand, feeling a little helpless. "Young master, it is getting dark, the banquet has already started, the eldest young master is waiting for you..."
Ling Jue looked at the uncle wrapping the candied gourd quietly. "What's wrong with waiting? It's only right and proper for the eldest brother to wait for his younger brother. The eldest brother is waiting happily."
Guan Cheng took a bite of the candied gourd. His chubby face was twisted with sourness. Then, he felt helpless. My young master, please be more careful.
Treat the eldest young master as your own brother. Don't let him gnaw at you until there's not even a bone left.
Guan Cheng was getting more and more worried. The second young master looked silly. He was really no match for the eldest young master.
Sigh, it was really annoying.
"Alright, little brother, finish eating before tonight. The sugar melts easily in this weather."
"Alright, thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome. You like to come here often."
Ling Jue took the candied haws and got into the car. This time, she sat in the back seat because she wanted to give Tang Yuan a few candied haws as well.
Ever since she came to this place, she had never bought Tang Yuan candied haws. This little thing loved to eat candied haws the most.
"Have one."
"Tang Yuan doesn't eat fruit."
"Do you want to eat it or not? If you don't, I'll throw you out!"
"Tang Yuan..."
It opened its mouth, but Ling Jue stuffed one into it.
"If you spit it out, I'll lock you in a dark room! I'll never let you out!"
Tang Yuan's dark blue eyes suddenly teared up when it heard that. It lowered its head and chewed on the candied fruit.
The white cushion was stained with dark blue tears, turning into blue flowers as if it had been dyed by ink.
"Tang Yuan, baby..." Ling Jue hugged it in her arms, her heart aching. "I was just trying to scare you. Lord Jue will never leave you."
Tang Yuan's tears kept flowing. It did not dare to speak and swallowed the candied haw.
Tang Yuan was very obedient. Lord Jue, don't throw Tang Yuan away... Don't lock Tang Yuan in a dark room either...
Tang Yuan wanted to be with Lord Jue forever... Tang Yuan would be sensible, Tang Yuan would be obedient...
Tang Yuan would become a very powerful imperial Gu, never giving Lord Jue any trouble, and be a very obedient Tang Yuan.
"Baby Tang Yuan, I'm sorry. I neglected you too much..." Ling Jue did not know what was said in the inheritance, but this Tang Yuan made her heart ache.
She only wanted Tang Yuan to become the same as before. She only wanted Tang Yuan to joke with her and act cute to her. She did not want Tang Yuan to become like this. It was dull and boring. It was not as lively as before.
After a long time, Ling Jue held Tang Yuan in her arms and did not say anything. Tang Yuan did not say anything either. It was very quiet in the car.
The sky outside the car window had already darkened. The car was speeding along the road.
Finally, when the sky had completely darkened, Ling Jue arrived at the International Auditorium.
Tang Yuan returned to the small room and isolated itself from the outside world.
Ling Jue composed herself and put away the candied haws before getting out of the car.
The smile on her face was gone, and she looked a little depressed.
"Brother Ling Jue!" Just as she got out of the car, a pink figure pounced on her.
Ling Jue quickly retreated behind Guan Cheng. She looked at the little girl with a frown, then at Su Qing behind her.
Su Qing was smiling happily, his brown eyes shining. "Xiao Jue, you're finally here."
