The path to becoming a tycoon begins with binding to the Godly Rich System.

Yu Heng went to entertain the guests, but Chu Anlan did not go with him. He asked Xiao Wang to push him into the yard and take a small watering can to water the flowers.

Even in winter, some hardy flowers bloom in the courtyard.

Even by the wall, two wintersweet trees stood proudly, their branches adorned with many pale yellow flower buds.

It's as if they're waiting for a cold wind to blow, and then they'll all bloom.

After a while, Yu Heng brought the person out.

Chu Anlan was a little surprised to see the person who came. He recognized him, but hadn't seen him in a long time. He didn't expect him to come looking for Yu Heng.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll take my leave now!" Song Shuhong was overjoyed to receive Yu Heng's assurance and didn't know what to do.

Chu Anlan saw Song Shuhong's eyes slightly red, looking at Yu Heng with admiration, his eyes glistening with tears. When he raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, the action was like a gentle breeze brushing across a lake in the morning, tender and moving.

Song Shuhong was once known by many fans as a gentleman as jade.

He not only has bright eyes and white teeth, but also a unique temperament, quite like a dashing young gentleman.

Chu Anlan felt a pang of jealousy and couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Upon hearing his voice, Yu Heng said to Song Shuhong, "You should go back first. I'll handle this."

Then he turned to Chu Anlan and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to water the flowers?"

"What, are you afraid I'll be ruthless and destroy this flower?" Chu Anlan said, a little annoyed.

"No, but aren't your hands cold?" Yu Heng secretly reached out to pull Chu Anlan's hand, wanting to take the opportunity to hold it.

Chu Anlan was being led by him and wanted to shake him off so she could say something sarcastic, but she happened to see Song Shuhong watching them.

He paused in the act of withdrawing his hand, and nodded to Song Shuhong as a greeting.

Song Shuhong was caught peeking and felt a little embarrassed. He nodded to Chu Anlan and then quickly followed Gao Zhiyuan out the door.

Reaching the door, he couldn't help but ask Gao Zhiyuan, "That's Chu Anlan, right? I didn't expect him to be so close to President Yu."

Gao Zhiyuan smiled but didn't say anything, bowing as he saw Song Shuhong and his assistant out.

Seeing his attitude, Song Shuhong realized he had said too much: "Thank you, Assistant Gao. Please wait."

On the way back, Zhao Tao talked to Song Shuhong while driving: "Brother Song, do you think Chu Anlan and President Yu have that kind of relationship?"

"Regardless of their relationship, it's always better to be polite when we meet them in the future," Song Shuhong said after a moment's thought.

He looked out of the car. Although the sun was covered by a large patch of dark clouds, sunlight was still streaming down from the edges of the clouds.

And the boulder pressing down on him was finally about to be removed.

Meanwhile, at the Lakeview Mountain Residence, Yu Heng, seeing that it was too cold, pushed Chu Anlan inside.

I poured Chu Anlan a cup of hot tea to warm his hands, because just now when I held his hand, it felt like holding a block of ice.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Yu Heng was surprised; why was he being so polite?

After drinking the tea, he did feel a little warmer. Yu Heng took the teacup from him and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Hmm," Chu Anlan said naturally as Yu Heng carried her to the sofa, adding, "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for the trouble!"

Hearing Chu Anlan's sarcastic words, Yu Heng finally realized that she was jealous.

"You're welcome. I'm glad that Mr. Yu has done this well enough to satisfy Young Master Chu." Yu Heng rested his right hand on the back of the sofa behind Chu Anlan's left ear, leaned down, and whispered in Chu Anlan's ear.

"You, you scoundrel!" Chu Anlan blushed from being teased and forgot all about her sarcastic remarks to him.

"Really? Then who's jealous?" Yu Heng's voice was deep and mellow, full of allure.

"No, no, I didn't." Chu Anlan's voice lacked confidence.

"Then you weren't jealous?" Yu Heng asked him.

Chu Anlan was about to say that he hadn't, but when he looked at Yu Heng's handsome face magnified in front of him, his eyes suddenly became firm.

"Yes, I'm jealous, Yu Heng, I like..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Heng swiftly pinched his lips.

Chu Anlan's eyes widened: "Mmm, mmm mmm mmm? Mmm mmm mmm mmm!" (Yu Heng, what are you doing? Let me go!)

"Cough!" Yu Heng coughed, almost making a mess of things.

He looked intently into Chu Anlan's eyes and said, word by word, "Chu Anlan, I like you. Will you be my boyfriend?"

Time seemed to stand still, a subtle tension and anticipation filling the air. It was an indescribable feeling, like a warm, shy sunlight filtering through the leaves on a summer afternoon.

Chu Anlan's heart pounded in his ears like a drumbeat, and his cheeks flushed involuntarily. He tried to say something, but found that fate had captured his lips...

Yu Heng was anxiously waiting for Chu Anlan's response when Chu Anlan gave him a look and he realized he was too flustered, still holding Chu Anlan's lips tightly.

Chu Anlan quickly let go, speechless at the absurdity of the situation, all her nervousness gone.

"Is this how you confess your feelings? Even if other people don't prepare a grand ceremony or anything, they should at least prepare a bouquet of flowers, right?" Chu Anlan pouted.

Yu Heng was also a little guilty, but he looked Chu Anlan up and down and said, "Then isn't someone who didn't prepare anything when they were going to confess?"

Chu Anlan was reminded of this by him and realized that he had just been about to confess his feelings. So, did that mean they were even?

"Then, please take care of me from now on, boyfriend!" Chu Anlan grabbed Yu Heng's hand, his ears were red, but he still stared at Yu Heng with a smile.

Yu Heng and he sat together on the sofa, their fingers intertwined.

As if he had won the whole world, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and his eyes sparkled with joy.

Feeling the warmth and touch of each other's palms, they both felt a little shy.

"Uh, are you going to tell your family when you come out?" Holding Chu Anlan's hand tightly, Yu Heng was a little afraid to look at him.

"I came out to my family before," Chu Anlan said, both happy and shy.

Yu Heng turned his head in a second and said with a hint of sourness, "Then why did you two break up?"

Chu Anlan asked, bewildered, "Who?"

"The man who made you come out of the closet." The tone was dripping with bitterness.

"Pfft, are you jealous?" Chu Anlan smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Yeah, I'm jealous!" He's my boyfriend, what's wrong with being a little jealous?

"Hahahaha!" Chu Anlan laughed so hard she leaned on Yu Heng's arm.

Yu Hengqi, is it funny that he's jealous?

After laughing enough, Chu Anlan looked up at Yu Heng and said seriously, "There's no such person. You're my first love!"

Yu Heng looked at him: "Then why did you come out?" It couldn't be that you already knew you didn't like girls, so you resolutely came out, right?

Yu Heng asked Chu Anlan this question, but Chu Anlan replied, "Yes! But it was my sister who came out back then. I realized that I didn't seem to have a girl I liked, and of course, I didn't have a boy I liked either."

Chu Anlan recalled the situation at that time.

His twin sister decided to get married a year early so she could be with her girlfriend.

So she came out to her whole family. Although her family was shocked, they still expressed their understanding.

Seeing this, Chu Anlan thought that he didn't like girls now, and he wasn't sure whether he would like boys or girls in the future, so she simply came out of the closet with him.

In his opinion, if he likes a girl in the future, then everything will be fine.

But if he likes a boy, then he won't have to shock his family again; he can give them some advance warning.

Yu Heng was taken aback by his bizarre behavior: "So your family is pretty open-minded, huh?"

"Hehe, my aunt is a staunch advocate of remaining single. If my dad hadn't been childhood sweethearts with my mom, he probably wouldn't have gotten married. So my grandparents are all open-minded about it." Chu Anlan chuckled. He also felt that his family was quite open-minded, and most importantly, he felt that he was very farsighted.

"And what about you?" Chu Anlan asked Yu Heng.

“My parents and sister have all passed away, and I make my own decisions.” Yu Heng raised his hand and touched his cheek. “But I’ll take you to see my grandmother and uncle later. I also have three nephews.”

"Huh?" Chu Anlan's lips parted slightly; he hadn't expected Yu Heng's background to be like this.

“From now on, I’ll be by your side.” He lifted Yu Heng’s hand and held it in his hands.

Yu Heng gazed into Chu Anlan's firm yet gentle eyes, which flowed through his heart like a clear spring, touching his heartstrings and giving him a warmth and strength he had never felt before.
