Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Nearby, on an Osmanthus tree, the concealed figure of Feng Yuanxi glared at w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ with an inflated sense of anger.

You old hag, how dare you threaten my beautiful sister!

Watch me teach you a lesson!

He plucked a green Osmanthus fruit from the tree and hurled it towards w.a.n.g s.h.i.+.

While she was scanning her surroundings, searching for the a.s.sailant, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her face. Startled, she cried out and hurriedly took cover behind Gu Zhicheng, her eyes s.h.i.+mmering with shock and fury.

Catching sight of the rolling green fruit on the ground, she immediately exclaimed with excitement, Its on the Osmanthus tree! Capture the scoundrel who dared to attack this lady!

Gu Qingluan turned her head to look.

She caught a glimpse of a fleeting blue figure. Several attendants moved to surround the tree.

Lady, theres no one on the tree.

How is that possible? Search thoroughly! w.a.n.g s.h.i.+s expression twisted with rage.

Gu Qingluan sneered, Stop diverting attention. If you dont leave now, Ill have to throw you out.

Gu Zhicheng grabbed w.a.n.g s.h.i.+s arm. Enough! Is it not humiliating enough for you? Go pack your things, were leaving!

Old Master, do you really intend to listen to her and leave this place? w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, upon hearing his words, no longer cared about the person who had attacked her.

Gu Zhichengs face turned grim as he retorted, Or should we wait to be thrown out? Even Li Tianhao couldnt defeat Gu Qingluan. What can we do?

He turned to Gu Qingluan. Can we leave in the evening?

In broad daylight, with people coming and going outside, who knows how many would be entertained by the spectacle.

Gu Qingluan looked at him with a smile. No, you cant.

Gu Zhicheng, infuriated, turned around and left.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ glanced at him, then at Gu Qingluan, stomped her foot, and chased after him.

Gu Qingluan instructed Su Lie, Keep an eye on them. They cant take anything from the Jun Residence that theyre not supposed to.

Yes, Master! Su Lie nodded solemnly.

The Osmanthus tree stood next to a long wall, and on the other side of the wall, a small figure crouched in the corner, with eyes rolling and ears perked up.

Footsteps grew closer.

The figure instantly tensed up, attentively looking over.

Ah! Its my beautiful sister!

Feng Yuanxi saw her face and his whole face lit up, standing up joyfully.

Son, when did you sneak in?

Gu Qingluan suspected that the person who attacked w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ might be hiding there, so she came over out of curiosity. She didnt expect to see her own son!

Son?

Feng Yuanxi looked confused.

Gu Qingluan didnt notice his confusion.

Why did you come here? Didnt I tell you to stay at the Building of No Return and wait for me to clean up this place before I pick you up?

Gu Qingluan pinched his little nose, exerting just a slight force, showing affection.

Feng Yuanxi blinked his big eyes. It was only now that he realized he was in a hurry and forgot to put on his mask.

Could it be that the beautiful sister mistook him for her own son?

She smiled so gently!

If the beautiful sister were his mother, how wonderful would that be! Xiaonan, why arent you speaking? Gu Qingluan touched his little face, feeling a bit puzzled.

Could it be that he was frightened when she found out that he had snuck over?

Feng Yuanxi was envious of the boy called Xiao Nan as he felt the soft hand caressing her cheek.

Do they look alike? Then could he call her

Mother?

Hmm?

Gu Qingluan gently pinched his small face and said, Silly child, if you dont call me Mother, then what should you call me?

Mother! Feng Yuanxis eyes sparkled with excitement as he eagerly rushed into her embrace.

A familiar and comforting aroma surrounded him.

It was the scent of his mother!

He remembered it!

He had found his mother!
