Qiao Muyuan picked up but said nothing.

On the other end, Ji Changmu's low and familiar voice sounded: "A Yuan, happy birthday. If I can get back to the capital at noon today, I will definitely go over to celebrate your birthday. Don't be angry with me again, eh?"

"I'm in Huanhua."

"Okay." Ji Changmu finally heard her voice, "Wait for me."

Among them, Qiao Muyuan has always been the more talkative one. Once she stops talking, the atmosphere becomes much more deserted.

"Go to bed early tonight." Ji Changmu broke the unfamiliar silence.

"I know, good night."

"Well, good night."

Throughout the night, Qiao Muyuan did not sleep very peacefully.

She always had some strange dreams, and there was a layer of sweat on her forehead at night.

She woke up at around six in the morning, picked out a Chanel knitted dress from the closet, carefully put on simple makeup, and put on her favorite jewelry.

The pair of garnet red earrings she bought while shopping a few days ago were very beautiful and she liked them very much after wearing them.

Tao Wenxing came to celebrate her birthday early in the morning and cooked her a bowl of noodles and a yellow-orange poached egg as usual.

The weather was fine, but the wind was strong and the temperature was low.

Qiao Muyuan likes to sit in the courtyard of the villa garden, holding potatoes and basking in the sun.

Tudou is not squeamish, but very well-behaved. Qiao Muyuan pinned a pink bow clip next to its little ear, which makes Tudou look even more delicate!

She is obviously a very well-behaved girl, but she gave her the silly name "Potato". Her brother is also quite interesting.

She played with Tudou for a while and flipped through the newspapers and magazines at hand.

The plum blossoms in the yard are blooming very well, and the garden is full of fresh and distant fragrance.

Yuan Qingqing asked her to hang out again on WeChat, but Qiao Muyuan declined her politely, saying that she had something to do today and would make an appointment another day.

While she was making another pot of English black tea, the door of Huanhua Villa opened, and a black Mercedes-Benz drove quietly into the courtyard.

The two bodyguards got out of the car and stood by the door. Huanhua's servant also came to greet him. They all recognized that this was my uncle's car.

Tao Wenxing also went over immediately.

Ji Changmu got out of the car slowly. The climate in the capital is different from Qiongzhou, which has warm weather all year round. The winter here is very cold. Ji Changmu wore a long black woolen coat and a thick scarf around his neck, but he just got out of the car.

The car still felt cold.

"Mr. Ji, the eldest lady is in the yard." Tao Wenxing stood beside him.

"knew."

Ji Changmu entered the living room first and took off his gloves and scarf.

There was a small door in the living room that led to the yard. Ji Changmu pushed the door open.

In addition to the withered yellow lawn and wooden fence, what caught the eye was Qiao Muyuan sitting at the white round table holding a puppy.

Qiao Muyuan was reading the text in the book in a low voice. The puppy squinted and leaned peacefully in her arms. The long black and slightly curly hair was scattered on Qiao Muyuan's shoulders. The sunlight passed through her long and fine eyelashes and fell on her eyelids.

A shallow and dense fan-shaped shadow fell.

Qiao Muyuan's gentle and delicate voice fell in the courtyard. It was not loud, but could be heard at the door.

Occasionally, a breeze blew by, blowing the broken hair on her temples and the red pomegranate earrings on her ears.

Ji Changmu's leather shoes stepped on the lawn and he walked over.

He was tall, and before he could reach Qiao Muyuan, his shadow pressed down on him, and both Qiao Muyuan and Tudou reacted.

She raised her head and met Ji Changmu's gaze.
