The Duke's little ancestor slipped away again

"Let her do whatever she wants. Sooner or later, this family will be handed over to her."

"...Hey, okay."

The old housekeeper understood in an instant that the young master had identified this girl. It seemed that the villa, which had been quiet for more than twenty years, was finally going to become lively.

"I'm going to the study. The little girl wakes up and comes to me."

Even though he was at home, Vaughn still had a lot to deal with.

"The latest news is that the Emir family of Italy has been seized by the government due to tax issues. According to internal sources, the Emir family has already had financial problems. It had previously failed in financing, causing the capital chain to break..."

As soon as Mu Mu woke up, she was attracted by the news that popped up on her mobile phone.

"The Emir family...the speed of capitalists is extraordinary."

"Hey, young lady is awake?"

Hearing the sound of the elevator, the old housekeeper turned around, got up from the numerous express delivery and walked over.

"It's not appropriate to call me young mistress now."

"When outsiders are around, I will call you Miss Mu."

"As long as it doesn't bother you."

She was going to marry him sooner or later anyway, it was just a matter of time.

"No trouble, no trouble. By the way, young lady, you have received a better express delivery. Do you want to unpack it now?"

"Where's Vaughn?"

I haven't seen anyone since I've been downstairs for a long time. I don't know what they are busy with.

"The young master is in the study."

"Forget it, let him be busy, let's see... what's going on."

Mu Mu picked up a courier at hand.

"I bought the flowers. Quick, move them to the flower room outside."

"It turns out that in your heart, I am not as important as these flowers and plants."

A sour smell came from behind.

"Uncle Butler, do you smell anything?"

"Huh? No?"

The old housekeeper sniffed it vigorously.

"Yes, it's sour. Maybe the vinegar bottle was accidentally knocked over in the kitchen."

"You're so brave, you dare to make fun of me."

Wenjin smiled and rubbed her head.

"If one day my brain fails, it must be your fault."

Mu Mu glared at him fiercely and plucked her messed up long hair.

"It doesn't matter, even if your brain is really broken, I won't let you go."

"You...me...old man!"

"Do you need me to prove my physical strength?"

Vaughn glanced at her body pointedly.

"It is illegal to abuse patients."

"It doesn't matter, I can wait for you to get better and calculate the general ledger together."

In short, I won’t let you go.

"The world is so beautiful, but I am so irritable. This is not good, not good."

Mu Mu closed her eyes and muttered silently.

"Ghosts...the flowers are all arranged. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Vaughan ended the topic and turned to look at the newly built glass greenhouse outside.

"want."

"What are you going to do with this greenhouse?"

On the way to the flower room while pushing the little girl, Vaughn spoke again.

"You will know after you go there. By the way, I just saw the news about the Emil family."

"Ah."

What Vaughan did not say is that what is exposed on the surface is only visible to the public. Under the darkness that cannot be disclosed, there are many more tragic situations.

"Young mistress, what do you think of the arrangement? If it doesn't work, I'll ask them to move it again."

"The middle area will be freed up a little, and then help me set up a big table. There will be a hanging chair and a deck chair there, so these lavender, jasmine, drunken exquisiteness and red pigments will be placed around the chair as much as possible."

Mu Mu naturally directed the servants to move around.

Hey~

The old housekeeper suddenly received a message on his cell phone.

"The bonus is doubled this month."

The old housekeeper read these simple words several times, and finally thought carefully about what he had just said and what he had done, and then he suddenly realized it.

"The young lady is very nice."

Vaughan glanced at the information and nodded with satisfaction.

The next afternoon, when Vaughn came back from the company, he didn't see the little girl he had been thinking about all day until he went to the greenhouse under the guidance of the old housekeeper.

The glass door opened, and a faint fragrance of flowers hit my face. In the middle of the flower room, there was a huge table filled with bottles and jars.

"Did you build a laboratory at home?"

Drip irrigation, reagents, beakers, distillers... it's just like a home version of the laboratory.

"This is only part of it, there are still some customized ones that will be delivered tomorrow."

Mu Mu only raised his head and glanced at Vaughn, then resumed the unfinished action in his hand.

"What are you studying?"

"I am refining essential oils. You are usually too busy at work. Smoking some essential oils in the study can relax your mood and help you improve your work efficiency."

"Are you implying that I spend too little time with you?"

During this time, he did have a lot of work and spent very little time with her. Vaughn secretly blamed himself.

"I am hinting to you that you have given yourself too much work and you need to take a proper rest."

Mu Mu held up a small bottle of pink-purple liquid in his hand.

"Smell and see."

"...It smells like lavender, and there's also..."

Vaughn lowered his head and smelled it carefully.

"It's tuberose, it helps you sleep. The housekeeper said your sleep has not been good."

"So...this is for me?"

"I can give it to other people too."

Mu Mu gave him a knowing look.

"I will not allow this 'other' presence."

"overbearing."

"But you're not disgusted, are you?"

Vaughn smiled lightly.

"I want to paint."

"Draw what?"

"you."

"Ok?"

Vaughn was puzzled.

"You look good when you smile like that, I like it very much."

This was the first time Mu Mu discovered that this man could smile so brightly and warmly.

"You like it so much, and I like it too."

For almost an hour and a half, Mu Mu looked at the man in his painting and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Can I admire it?"

Vaughn moved his somewhat stiff body.

"of course."

Under the setting sun, a noble man sat in the flower room, his expression a little lonely, but also seemed to have a little warmth.

"Loneliness, nourishment, wind and dusk,"

Next to his portrait, a small line of words caught Vaughan's attention.

"Well, I wrote it as soon as I thought of it."

"Then do you know what the next few sentences are?"

"what?"

Mu Mu didn't think much about it when he wrote it.

"I don't lack either water or bonfires; there are so many people, but you are the only one I lack."

Vaughn took up his pen and wrote his own handwriting next to hers.

"How did you know?"

"My grandmother is from country Z, and I have a quarter of the blood of people from country Z in my body."

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the distance between the two people is much closer.

"I'll ask the housekeeper to find someone to frame the painting later."

"I didn't say I wanted to give it to you."

"It turns out that the little girl got up to admire it secretly if she wanted to."

Vaughn looked like he had suddenly come to his senses.

"How could you be so narcissistic?"

Although Mu Mu did not admit it, the movement of her hand holding the painting clearly betrayed her thoughts.

"The housekeeper said you have been in the flower room all day. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Any special arrangements?"

"A few friends are back and want to meet you, but I've been holding off."

"Are you sure I can meet people like this?"

"Then I'll let them come to my house, which will save you the hassle of going back and forth."

"As long as they don't find it troublesome..."
