“You… What did you say? Brother, what are you talking about?”

Tang Shuo was called into the study by his brother as soon as he returned. Tang Lunxuan’s serious face frightened him, and just as he was about to ask what happened, he was shocked by his words.

“From now on, you are not allowed to go see Wen Niannan again, ever.”

“Brother, what’s wrong? Why… why would you suddenly say such a thing?”

Tang Lunxuan’s eyes flickered slightly. He clenched his hands behind his back and said sternly, “Mr. Wen is married. What you are doing is wrong. You shouldn’t interfere with his life. You are interfering with his relations like a home-wrecker, how is that different from Shen Luoan?”

“How am I different from Shen Luoan? You know clearly how much I like him, how can you say such cruel things…”

“Tang Shuo, you’ve grown up, you can’t be as reckless as before. Have you considered the consequences? What if Gu Yansheng starts targeting you?”

Tang Shuo suddenly yelled uncontrollably, “So in the end it’s because you’re afraid of the Gu Family! You’re afraid of Gu Yansheng’s power! Afraid that your own interests would be harmed!  “

Slap…

Tang Shuo looked at Tang Lunxuan, who had just hit him, with disbelief and didn’t react for a long time.

“Do you have a brain? Who am I doing this for? You’ll harm him if you continue doing what you are doing. Do you understand? You don’t have what it takes to protect him yet keep approaching him. You keep saying how you love him and will protect him, but do you know how much trouble he has gotten into because of you?”

“Did you forget how his head got injured? It was because of you! Tang Shuo, this is not love, this is harm!”

Tang Shuo froze in place and said with a trembling voice while looking at Tang Lunxuan, “It’s because of me? It’s my fault?”

Tang Lunxuan saw Tang Shuo’s saddened expression. Under the glasses, a touch of unbearable pain flashed in his eyes.

“When you have the power to protect him, then you can be his knight in shining armor. But right now, you are just making things harder and harder! “

“I… I understand. I’ll make myself so that I can provide cover for him, I won’t make life harder for him anymore.”

Seeing that Tang Shuo was finally listening, Tang Lunxuan let out a sigh of relief, “I’m glad you can understand. Dad wants you to come help in the company, do you want…”

“Brother, I want to see him one last time, can I? Just one more time? I’ll be careful.”

Tang Shuo’s eyes were red, and Tang Lunxuan knew that he was trying to keep himself from crying. His heart softened for a moment and knew that he couldn’t refuse.

“If you want to go then go ahead, think of it as a farewell, but be careful.”

“Thank you.”

One last time… I won’t bother you again… I will come back after I have what it takes to protect you…

Uncle Xu bought a lot of sunflower seeds, wanting to plant them. When he saw Wen Niannan reading in the living room, he approached.

“Sir, I bought sunflower seeds, how about we plant them?”

“Sunflower? Okay.” Wen Niannan nodded, put down his book, and walked towards the door.

Wen Niannan used a little shovel to dig up the soil, then carefully took out the seeds and placed them in. Then he covered them up and used the water can from the side to water them.

He proficiently planted the seeds one by one and watered them carefully. He did everything with such carefulness and seriousness, and he didn’t stand back up until all the seeds in his hand were planted.

Thinking that the flowerbed would soon be covered with sunflowers, Wen Niannan seemed to be in a much better mood and showed a smile on his face.

Seeing that Wen Niannan was finally feeling better, Uncle Xu smiled and handed the water can from his hand over.

“Today, the old lady and young master Yuanfeng went to Nation F and will return the day after tomorrow. Sir, what would you like to eat? I’ll ask Aunt Lan to make them.”

“Yuanfeng left too?”

“Yes, the old lady said that Master Yuanfeng will be with you from now on, but there are still some things that he must finish in Nation F, so he needs to leave real quick.”

Wen Niannan sat on the steps, wiped his hands, and replied with a whisper, “I kind of want to eat Aunt Lan’s squirrelfish Squirrelfish is just the short version of the dish name. The other name is fried mandarin fish and pinenuts with sweet and sour sauce , I haven’t eaten it for a long time.”

“I’m glad you still like her squirrelfish. Okay, if you want to eat it, I’ll let Aunt Lan know immediately.”

Uncle Xu smiled and entered the house. Soon after, he came back out with a car key.

“There’s no more fish in the house, I’ll go buy one. Sir, can you plant the rest of the seeds?”

“Mm, okay, be careful on the road, Uncle Xu.”

“Alright.”

Wen Niannan returned to the flowerbed to keep planting the sunflower seeds.

Ding… his phone rang.

Wen Niannan took out his phone and looked at it. Then, his body froze.
