Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

"Huh?" Gao Haoran was puzzled. They were talking about Qu Yuan, so how did it lead to her younger uncle first, and then her older uncle?

“Look at my uncle’s own conditions, his wife’s and family’s conditions, and the surrounding environment. Which one is better? He still made his own way, made use of his own advantages, and then pushed me out. So what? Our family is quite harmonious now, isn’t it?”

Although I hated him for being heartless a few years ago, I'm now grateful to him for pushing me out into the world and giving me experiences unlike any other girl. And then I met you, Master!

"Hahaha……"

“Master! You can’t be like Qu Yuan. It’s better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. There’s no hurdle you can’t overcome. As long as you’re alive, you can always rebuild.” Ting Nan grabbed Gao Haoran’s sleeve.

Gao Haoran patted Ting Nan's hand, "Don't worry, I won't follow his example. I still have you."

"Yes, yes, I am your successor."

After Ting Nan's intervention, Gao Haoran's mood improved considerably. He chatted with Ting Nan, saying, "Ting Nan, I really do have a mission I haven't completed, you know? My brothers are waiting for me. Maybe our eldest brother was wrong back then. If he were alive, he would definitely be much better than me..."

Ting Nan could sense her master's sadness and helplessness. "Master, you must believe in yourself. Your elder brother definitely believes in you too. Take your time, we can complete the mission."

What exactly did General Du do to provoke Master? What is it that Master hasn't finished?

Ting Nan seemed to see her master trapped in an invisible net, unable to find a way out, and she was right beside him, unable to help...

After a while, Gao Haoran raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was very blue and bright. He then looked at Ting Nan beside him.

"Tingnan, do you think Master made a mistake today?"

"What? Master!"

"Tingnan, perhaps you should go with General Du and stay at his residence!"

"What's so great about it? I'll be wherever you are, Master."

"Silly child, if you live with him, people will look at you with more respect."

"No way! I don't care about other people's high regard. We're not close! I'm happy as long as I'm with my master. No matter how good others are, they're not ours. I don't care!"

……

"Master, can I know if General Du is our enemy?"

"Why did you ask so?"

“He made my master very sad. If he is, I will ignore him and wait until I grow up to avenge my master.”

“Child, the world isn’t all black and white. He just kept quiet back then, probably to protect himself!” Gao Haoran patted Ting Nan’s head. A child is still a child; he has clear likes and dislikes.

Gao Haoran chatted with Ting Nan for a while longer, and being by the vast expanse of water certainly lifted his spirits. After resting at the guesthouse for a while, he went to attend the dinner.

At the banquet, Zuo Jinyue wore a dress made by Zheng Ruidong. The exquisite dress shimmered under the lights, perfectly showcasing Zuo Jinyue's temperament.

The light, flowing skirt swayed with her steps, making her the most dazzling star and attracting everyone's attention. Many women were speculating and inquiring about who designed the dress.

When Ting Nan walked into the hall in her azure dress, it caused another round of gasps and whispers. The Chinese people had only recently opened up to the world, and their pursuit of beauty was unprecedented, as if they wanted to unleash all the colors that had been suppressed by gray, black, blue, and white in the past.

Zheng Ruidong's designs stem entirely from a pure pursuit of beauty. He has not received any professional or systematic training, so naturally there are no frameworks to limit his creativity. His designs are unique and incorporate the owner's temperament, personality, and age, making them even more stunning.
