That night.

H City remains brightly lit and bustling with traffic.

The most luxurious hotel is hosting a banquet, with elegantly dressed people and clinking glasses.

The bright and luxurious banquet hall was lavishly decorated, with towers of champagne and light reaching every corner, immersing everyone in a decadent and joyous atmosphere.

Assistant Li quickly finished exchanging pleasantries with the people around him before rushing to Li Nanyuan's side.

The man in the corner held a glass of wine. He wore a well-tailored black suit, exuded a noble air, and was exceptionally handsome, with unusually indifferent eyes.

"Mr. Li."

Li Nanyuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over most of the people at the banquet, who were all observing.

Tonight was a business gathering organized by a veteran business tycoon, but the time has passed and the important guests have not yet arrived.

There aren't many people worth waiting for, but tonight is one of them.

"President Li, our people have found out that he won't arrive for another half hour." Assistant Li quickly reported the information his subordinates had gathered.

Li Nanyuan frowned slightly, feeling a bit unwell in his stomach. Assistant Li immediately said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go get you some medicine."

"No need, I'm going out for some fresh air." After giving this in a low voice, Li Nanyuan put down his wine glass and left temporarily through the side door.

The noise was immediately cut off.

There was an open-air garden on the floor above. Li Nanyuan pushed open the door and entered. The moonlight was serene, and the bright flowers were quietly blooming. There was a swing in the distance.

The gleaming leather shoes clicked as they hit the ground.

Li Nanyuan glanced at the empty garden and walked towards the railing.

A gentle breeze swept by, smoothing out his furrowed brows. As he cleared his thoughts, he gazed at the distant buildings, pondering the arrival of this new financial tycoon.

A rustling sound came from the side, causing him to pause in his thoughts.

Behind the rose bushes, a person was crouching, barefoot in the mud, only their fuzzy head was visible.

Judging by his size, he's a young boy—stealing flowers?

Li Nanyuan suddenly spoke up: "What are you doing?"

"what?"

The boy looked up, revealing a delicate, fair face, like a moonlight elf, with bright, smiling eyes and pink lips curled up in a smile.

It was an extremely beautiful and sweet face, and the innocent sweetness in her eyes was like thick honey, fatally attractive to those who love sugar.

Wu Tongxue exclaimed softly, a little bewildered. She tilted her head and said in a light voice, "I'm picking flowers."

The white shirt was buttoned up haphazardly, not tucked into the trousers, and the thin fabric hem hung down to the ground, covered in dirt.

Several pink roses were already scattered on the ground at my feet.

Li Nanyuan's gaze lingered briefly on the fair instep, then met Qingling's puzzled look. He raised his chin, indicating that Qingling should look at a certain spot.

There was a sign standing in the flower bushes.

—Picking is prohibited!

Wu Tongxue was stunned. "Can't I pick it?"

But he had been picking them all along.

The boy finally released his hand, which was still resting on the rose branch, and said regretfully, "Alright then."

We cannot knowingly commit a wrong, but fortunately he has already picked quite a lot, which is enough.

I was packing up my flower-picking tools, intending to use newspaper to wrap the flowers, when suddenly everything went black.

A person squatted down in front of him.

Li Nanyuan took the newspaper from his hand naturally, his voice deep, pleasant, and magnetic: "It's thorny, I'll help you."

Wu Tongxue obediently stopped and squatted down beside him to watch him work, her eyebrows curving into crescents. "You're such a nice person."

"Are you a guest attending the banquet?" Li Nanyuan asked.

The hotel was booked out for the entire event today; only guests attending the banquet were allowed entry without an invitation.

The boy shook his head, his fingers accidentally brushing dirt against his chin. After thinking for a few seconds, he hesitated before saying, "I guess so."

The boy was oblivious to the dirt sticking to his alabaster chin. "My daddy will be there."

"Let's exchange contact information." Li Nanyuan acted quickly, finding a black ribbon from somewhere and tying it on, revealing a beautifully wrapped bouquet in front of Wu Tongxue.

He said, "I have a garden at home, you can pick whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tongxue picked up the phone that was casually placed beside her and handed it to him, being careful not to touch the mud on her hands. "You can add it."

She casually wiped her feet with a handkerchief, put on her shoes, waved goodbye while holding the flowers, and said, "I have to go now."

"Wait a minute." Li Nanyuan stood still, leaned against the railing, pointed to his chin, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a hint of amusement, "Wipe this off."

"Ah!!" A thin blush quickly rose on the boy's face. He glared at him and wiped it off with his hand.

Honestly, why didn't you remind me sooner?

"I'm leaving!"

They fled as fast as a gust of wind.
