Hearing that, a flicker of hope appeared in the corner of Shi Lan's eyes, then she frowned and said dejectedly.

"A lot of experienced gardeners can't do it, but can a little girl do it?"

Mu Shu Cheng's mouth curved into a beautiful smile.

"Whether it's okay or not, we have to give it a try."

The old lady nodded. She did not hold much hope and turned to look at Mu Jiao En, smiling as she spoke.

"Ah Cheng is already getting married. When are you going to bring one back for Grandmother?"

Seeing that Mu Shu Cheng had also followed his gaze, Mu Jiao En's face became bashful.

"I'm not in a hurry. Wait a little longer!"

"Wait? Wait until when? Wait till Grandma closes her eyes and sees nothing. You're getting married? "

Hearing that, Mu Jiao En immediately shook Shi Lan's hand, and pouted.

"Grandmother, don't speak nonsense. You will live for a hundred years!"

Mu Jiao En's mouth was sweet, as it really made Shi Lan happy. Amongst so many granddaughters, he loved this one the most, even though she didn't have the blood of the Mu Family on her body.

Shi Lan kindly caressed Mu Jiao En's hair, his expression becoming more serious.

"Hurry up and find someone to marry so that we don't have to worry about those young masters who don't care about us!"

Mu Jiao En laughed, laughed, and revealed both dimples, he was very cute!

She nodded obediently and placed her gaze on Mu Shu Cheng.

He only felt that he was here, but his heart was no longer there. His gaze would always be faintly discernible as it drifted into the distance.

She looked at Mu Shu Cheng, and Mu Shu Cheng thought about Luo Xue.

"Ah Cheng, you have good eyes. Find one for your sister when you have time."

Hearing Shi Lan calling him, Mu Shu Cheng retracted his train of thoughts and nodded.

Seeing Mu Shu Cheng nod his head, Mu Jiao En's heart ached for a moment as a hint of sadness slipped past the corner of his eyes.

While the three of them were chatting, permanent sister-in-law walked over and suddenly said:

"Old granny, Doctor Fang is here."

Shi Lan nodded, looked at Mu Shu Cheng and said.

"When it's time for acupuncture, you guys go ahead and chat. I'll be out in half an hour."

As Shi Lan said this, she stood up from the rattan chair, with Mu Shu Cheng and Mu Jiao En also standing up.

After the old lady left, Mu Jiao En poured a cup of Dragon Well for her and placed it in front of her.

"Is there really someone I like?"

Mu Shu Cheng nodded his head and accepted the tea from Mu Jiao En. He thanked his.

"Bring it out when you're free for us to see."

Mu Shu Cheng nodded his head again, his gaze landing on the yellow leaves of the orchids.

Seeing that Mu Shu Cheng was silent, Mu Jiao En took a sip of the tea.

"The young master of the Han family, Han Guan, has come to propose marriage."

Mu Shu Cheng frowned slightly, retracting his gaze.

"When?"

Hearing Mu Shu Cheng's question, the corners of Mu Jiao En's eyes flashed with a sense of loss. He didn't know, which proved that he wasn't concerned about it.

"Yesterday!"

Silence ….

"What did Grandma say?"

"Grandmother said to see what I think."

Mu Jiao En said, he had been looking at Mu Shu Cheng, seeing that Mu Shu Cheng did not say a word, he continued to speak.

"Although the Han family and our Mu family are not on good terms, they are still family members. Moreover, they are considered to be on good terms with each other. If we can get married, it would probably be beneficial to the capital as well."

Mu Jiao En said as he lowered his head.

Only then did Mu Shu Cheng turn his gaze back to her, his tone calm.

If you don't like it, you can directly tell Grandma. She must know that Han Guan is an outstanding and elegant person outside, and she has always doted on you, so she won't push you into a fiery pit. Furthermore, the Mu Family hasn't fallen to the extent of relying on marriage to maintain their position.

Hearing that, Mu Jiao En excitedly blurted out.

"You don't want me to marry Han Guan?"

He lowered his head, feeling that he was being rude. His face was flushed.

Mu Shu Cheng didn't look at her, and only indifferently said:

"I will decide my own marriage!"

Mu Jiao En bit his lips.

"Can you decide your own marriage?"

Mu Shu Cheng stood up, both his hands in his pockets, and then said:

"Yes!"

After he finished speaking, he walked towards Shi Lan's room, where there were all kinds of strange plants. Shi Lan had long since painstakingly nurtured them, and allowed him to go over to take a look.

After Mu Shu Cheng left, he looked at the two acacia s that were wrapped around each other in the garden. It was June, and the flowers were flourishing.

She still remembered that she planted that seed in the Mu Family in her second year with Mu Shu Cheng.

But after just a few months, Mu Shu Cheng's mother met with an accident and Mu Shu Cheng went to America.

After he left, it rained heavily for a few days straight. In order to prevent them from being washed away by the rain, Mu Jiao En sneaked out of his room in the middle of the night. He squatted beside them and helped them hold up their umbrellas.

It was also because of their tenacious vitality that after the sky cleared, the other flowers and plants in the garden would either be broken by the branches or rise up together. Only these two acacia s were able to persevere and survive.

Looking at the trees that were filled with Joyful Flower, Mu Jiao En unconsciously stood up and walked to the tree. He picked one up from the ground and held it in his hands.

For the past twenty-six years, she had always seen these two pleasures as if they were herself and Mu Shu Cheng.

Husband for the leaf, I for the flower, flowers do not grow old, leaves do not fall, a life of different hearts, the world of the night happy.

… ….

After half an hour, Shi Lan's acupuncture session ended. Normally, she should rest for a bit, but due to her worry about her orchid, she anxiously sent Mu Shu Cheng to pick him up.

When Mu Shu Cheng left, he asked the permanent sister-in-law to bring him a bunch of roses, which Shi Lan had personally cut and packaged.

The fiery red rose had green leaves, and the wrapping paper was divided into two layers. The innermost layer was white, with only the edges showing.

After wrapping it up, Shi Lan even sprayed some water on the flower stamens.

After Mu Shu Cheng left, the permanent sister-in-law finally spoke to Shi Lan with a smile.

"Your thoughts shouldn't be limited to orchids, right?"

Shi Lan's mouth curved up in a kind smile.

"When a person gets old, he loses his patience. Sooner or later, he will have to meet this person."

"Old Granny is too worried. Our Young Master isn't an ordinary person. The people he has set his sights on shouldn't be lacking!"

Hearing that, Shi Lan's heart was at ease, her old face still had a smile, but suddenly, she saw the acacia in front of him wrapping themselves up, retracting his smile.

"Where's Jiao En?"

"It looks like he went back to his bedroom to change. He said that he was going to surround these two acacia s with a fence."

After Shi Lan heard this, he sighed and frowned.

Seeing that, the permanent sister-in-law hurriedly went forward to comfort her.

"Miss Jiao En has been intelligent since he was young. He will understand once more."

Shi Lan waved her hand, signalling the permanent sister-in-law to help her return.

"I don't want to get involved with the matters regarding the youngsters. Since they are old, I can't care too much about them. It's just that that child Jiao En has helped our Mu Family. I don't want to see her suffer."

The permanent sister-in-law nodded and did not say anything else. She supported Shi Lan and walked towards the direction of the bedroom.
