A few plum trees were in their best condition in the winter. The north wind blew past, and a few snowballs fell from the trembling flowers. Some of them even flew directly into the wind.

Snow began to fall from the sky, falling onto the plum trees. It was crystal clear, one could not tell whether it was snow or flowers.

It added a touch of beautiful scenery to the pure white and flawless world.

As Yan Jinyuan looked at the beautiful scenery before her, she couldn't help but walk out of the pavilion. Looking at the boundless gray sky, she bitterly smiled.

Then he went to the plum tree and reached out to pluck a flower, covered with a layer of white snow.

She greedily stroked the snow on top of it. After a while, the snow melted and turned into water that slowly flowed down from between her fingers.

She dumbfoundedly looked at all of this while her eyes were filled with countless thoughts.

Han Yichen rushed over and pulled her into the pavilion. When he felt the coldness on her fingertips, he was shocked. He quickly used his hands to warm her up and said, "Look at your hands, let's go back!"

The moment she said that, Yan Jinyuan started to sob softly. She had never seen Han Yichen like this before. Han Yichen's eyes flashed a hint of heartache that he didn't even realize.

He clumsily wiped away the tears on Yan Jinyuan's face. "Why are you crying?"

Her usual coldness was gone. She actually threw herself into Han Yichen's arms and started crying without any scruples, as if she was going to cry out all the grievances she had suffered all these years.

Han Yichen was shocked. He patted her back and coaxed: "Then let's go back first, okay?"

Yan Jinyuan nodded and returned to the pavilion. The air wasn't as cold as before, but Yan Jinyuan was still sobbing. No matter how Han Yichen tried to coax her, it was useless.

Seeing this, Han Yichen did not insist. He hugged her and comforted her softly. Yan Jinyuan also gradually stopped sobbing.

He raised his bright red eyes and stared at Han Yichen, causing him to be at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.

In his memory, Yan Jinyuan had always been cold. No matter if it was people or things, it was just that tonight …

"Just now …" Han Yichen looked at her doubtfully. Yan Jinyuan sniffed and shook her head. Then, she nodded again as a layer of mist appeared in her eyes once again.

Han Yichen pulled her into his embrace and said gently, "Since you don't want to talk about it, then we won't talk about it."

Yan Jinyuan nestled into his embrace, not saying a word. After a long time, she raised her eyes and looked at the scenery outside, feeling touched.

"It snowed early last winter, and by now the lake is covered with a thick layer of ice," he said.

"This year's lake did not freeze. When I was born, my father gifted me a Snow Fox, but died in that lake."

Yan Jinyuan pointed at the lake not far away, "You must want to ask why it died!" Yan Jinyuan continued to talk to herself, then she laughed at herself.

"I really like that Snow Fox. I didn't want to let go of her. Concubine Wan told me that she also liked it, so I gave her a hug."

"I never would have thought that she would actually throw the Snow Fox down. Coincidentally, there is no ice in that area, so my Snow Fox just disappeared like that."

"What about your father?" Han Yichen continued to ask, "My father? "Hahaha!"

"That's his favorite aunt. He won't be able to understand what's important and what's not, will he?"

"I remember that day in particular. I jumped down regardless."

"It was three or four days after I was rescued. I cried for Concubine Wan to return my Snow Fox, but she said that it was the Snow Fox that slipped and fell."

"For this, my father even scolded me for being insensible." After saying all this, she felt much better.

Han Yichen reached out and pulled her into his embrace. His gentle voice sounded beside her ear, "It's all in the past now. In the future, no one will dare to bully you with me around."

Yan Jinyuan nodded repeatedly and hugged Han Yichen. She felt an unprecedented warmth, as if from this moment onwards, she suddenly felt that Han Yichen was not as annoying as she had imagined.

"Does your head still hurt?" Han Yichen asked softly while stroking her forehead.

Yan Jinyuan shook her head and said nothing. "Is there anything wrong with your body?" He had always remembered that Yan Jinyuan had been drinking too much, so he couldn't help but ask with concern.

Yan Jinyuan raised her clear eyes and looked at Han Yichen. For the first time, she felt that these eyes were very beautiful. They were crystal clear, but they also had a certain attractiveness to them, as if she wanted to suck them in before she gave up.

Yan Jinyuan couldn't help but reach out her hand to touch the corners of his eyes. His skin wasn't as rough as the other men's, but it had the exquisite feel of a woman's.

Han Yichen grabbed her hand. Their eyes met, and their scorching gazes exploded in the cold air.

Looking at her lips, his heart skipped a beat and he slowly lowered his head. Yan Jinyuan then closed her eyes.

"Young master …" Concubine Wan's voice broke their movements. Han Yichen turned around and stared at her gloomily.

Concubine Wan smiled apologetically. "I don't know what to do, young master …" Long before they had entered the pavilion, she had already seen their actions.

Recalling her own predicament tonight, she couldn't let out her anger. Seeing this scene, she tried to disturb Yan Jinyuan, who must have looked terrible on the outside.

Yan Jinyuan came out of Han Yichen's embrace and showed her disgust towards Concubine Wan.

"Aiya, it's my concubine who disturbed you! My concubine is here to accompany you!" Concubine Wan's words reminded Yan Jinyuan of what had just happened. A rare flush appeared on her face, making her look even more alluring.

Han Yichen immediately pulled her behind him. His wife can't be looked at by others, he hasn't seen enough!

Concubine Wan carefully observed the two of them. Han Yichen's desire to protect Yan Jinyuan shocked her. At the same time, she knew that offending Yan Jinyuan was tantamount to offending Han Yichen.

Her hands under her sleeves gradually tightened as she secretly cursed Yan Jinyuan's vixen, allowing Young Master Han to stand on the same side as her so quickly.

If that was the case, it would be even more difficult for her to make a move. However, no matter what, she couldn't swallow her anger. The grievances she had suffered today, she would definitely take them all back.

"Concubine Wan has brought a group of people with her. Are they trying to catch the thief?" Han Yichen's indifferent voice sounded, but for no reason it caused people's hearts to turn cold.

"Eldest Young Master must be joking, how can there be a thief in the mansion!" Concubine Wan smiled apologetically once again. She had seen a big storm before, but she came back to her senses soon after.

Perhaps Han Yichen's aura was too strong, as maidservant below lowered her head and did not dare to make a sound. She was afraid that if she provoked this master of hers, their lives would be in danger.

Han Yichen smiled mockingly, "Really?" No one dared to move once she said that. Concubine Wan's hands were trembling unintentionally inside her sleeves.

His eyes were filled with fear of Han Yichen. It was not fear of power, but true fear from the bottom of his heart.

"Could it be that Concubine Wan came here on purpose, knowing that Madam and I were here to admire the flowers?" Her thin lips let out a few words, instantly pulling her back to reality.

"What did Eldest Young Master say? If Aunt knew, she wouldn't have come over!" Concubine Wan showed her most brilliant smile. Normally, people would be enchanted by her smile when they saw it.

Han Yichen turned his head away. His eyes were filled with deep disgust. Concubine Wan cursed herself in her heart. Why did she insist on coming here? She resented Yan Jinyuan even more and said nothing for her.

"I'm here to find Yuan." Yan Jinyuan looked at her coldly and said, "I'm Madame Han now, not the Yuan you speak of."

"Yes, yes, yes, Madame Han." Concubine Wan hurriedly nodded and bowed, admitting her mistake. However, if you looked closely, you would be able to see the unwillingness and hatred hidden in her eyes.

At this time, maidservant rushed over. When she saw Han Yichen and Wang Chao, she hurriedly bowed and whispered into Xia Pingguan's ears, "Concubine Wan, the lord is waiting for you in the study room." Xia Xiaoxiao waved to show that she knew. She then looked at Yan Jinyuan and said with a smile, "Yuan …" "Madame Han."

The corner of Yan Jinyuan's mouth slightly raised as she looked down at her from above. She was very satisfied with Xia Yaoguan's current attitude.

"About that, you have all been in the Backyard Garden for a long time. The old master said that he wanted to reminisce about old times with you, after all, we haven't met for so long." Xia Guiguan said emotionally. She didn't believe that Yan Jinyuan could reject her offer even though she said it like that.

Yan Jinyuan found it laughable. Perhaps, he was going to give her another mission. To put it in a good light, he had probably forgotten that he still had a daughter.

However, since she said so, the two of them could only separate awkwardly. She brought her to the study room and they could vaguely see Yan Ze's figure.

She lightly knocked on the door. Yan Ze's voice came from inside. Yan Jinyuan slowly walked in and saw her father pretending. She felt disgusted.

However, he remained calm on the surface. He stood there quietly and waited for him to finish his work.

After a long silence, Yan Ze raised his head, looked at his daughter and yelled: "What? You don't even know how to salute when you see your father? "

Yan Jinyuan smiled faintly before sitting on a chair behind her and saying, "Father, what are you saying? Your daughter is Madame Han now, and she shouldn't be your daughter even if you want to greet her. If word of this gets out, won't she be punished as a lowly person?"

"You …" Yan Ze stared at his daughter, who he had grown up with, with an ashen face. He didn't know when, but his daughter had changed.

"Since you're already married to that side, then try your best to get Han Yichen's favor. Do you hear me?" He returned to his previous appearance and asked Yan Jinyuan what she was going to do.

Yan Jinyuan ignored him and looked out the window instead, saying, "The Snow Fox died there last year. Did you know that it dreams with me every night? It wants me to avenge it. "

"Did you hear what I said?" Yan Ze raised his voice and looked at Yan Jinyuan. He wanted to slap her, but he had to suppress his anger because of Madame Han's identity.

Yan Jinyuan continued, "Did you send someone to get its body after that?"

Yan Ze's face was already stained with his anger. He stared at her as if he wanted to poke a hole out of her.

Yan Jinyuan stood up, expressionless … He said, "You have no right to interfere in my matters." After that, he calmly walked out of the room.

The moment she stepped out of the room, she heard Yan Ze lifting the table. She ignored him and quickly left.
