She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Seeing Haiqi looking at the painting, Mo Yan said, "Could you help me put the painting in my room?"

He had just asked a resort staff member to help him move his easel here. He hasn't finished painting yet, and he plans to take it back to his home to paint.

There might not be a chance to find a quiet moment here to finish it.

As Haiqi put the painting away, she exclaimed, "Brother Mo Yan, this painting is so beautiful! Can I have it?"

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, never expecting Hai Qi to ask for this.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "I was planning to give this painting away, so I can't give it to you, and it's not finished yet."

A sense of unease flashed through Haiqi's heart. This painting was a gift. It was painted so delicately and tenderly—who would it be given to?

"Brother Mo Yan, I never knew you could paint, and you paint so well! Who is so lucky to receive a painting from you?"

Mo Yan simply smiled and didn't reply.

Haiqi didn't ask any more questions. She put the painting away in her room, then came back and pushed Mo Yan out.

The sun hadn't completely set, but the temperature had already dropped considerably; Haiqi pushed Mo Yan along the road, her heart filled with joy.

Mo Yan recounted some amusing anecdotes about Haiqi's childhood, lamenting the passage of time.

Haiqi chimed in, "Yes, time really flies. I'm an adult now."

Mo Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Little brat, you're so eager to grow up, huh? The way you're dressed today looks like you stole your mother's clothes."

Now it was Haiqi's turn to be frustrated; she had deliberately tried to dress more maturely, but had she gone too far?

Wearing my mother's clothes, do I look that old?

Seeing that Haiqi hadn't responded for a while, Mo Yan guessed what she was thinking and quickly said, "Oh, you're not that old, it just doesn't suit you. Young girls should dress in a more youthful and vibrant way to look good."

After all that fuss, it turns out I've wasted my time. It turns out Mo Yan prefers youthful beauty, so I could just play myself.

But that's not right. Doesn't Brother Mo Yan still like himself as a child?

How can he possibly see himself as a woman?

As she thought about it, the words just came out of her mouth: "Brother Mo Yan, are you in a relationship? What kind of woman do you like?"

This time when we met, Brother Mo Yan was really different from before.

She's become much gentler, and she even painted such beautiful plum blossoms.

Pink plum blossoms.

Mo Yan felt the whole painting was radiating a romantic, pink glow. He even said he wanted to give it away.

Haiqi couldn't take it anymore, and before she knew it, the words in her heart came out.

Mo Yan wasn't surprised to hear Hai Qi's question. Instead, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What do you mean by dating? Why are you suddenly concerned about this, little brat? Are you in a relationship?"

"Yes, I do have someone I like."

"Wow, this girl's really something! She'll probably find a boyfriend even before I do!"

As they spoke, the two had already reached the lakeside, the heart of the manor.

As the last rays of the setting sun gently bathed the lake at Youmeng Manor, the entire scene was tinged with a soft golden hue.

The winter wind is biting, and the willow branches by the lake are covered with frost flowers, as if they were ice crystal works of art carefully sculpted by nature.

The lake surface shimmered in the cold wind, and occasionally a few fallen leaves drifted by, dancing on the water and leaving a trail of ripples.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast silhouettes on the bare branches by the lake, creating a striking contrast with the golden light on the lake's surface.

The distant mountains, illuminated by the setting sun, appeared even more clearly outlined, and the snow on their peaks shimmered with a soft glow, resembling a tranquil winter painting.

The lakeside pavilion cast long shadows in the setting sun, adding a touch of tranquility to the beautiful winter scenery.

Although the lotus flowers in the lake have withered, their remaining leaves still stand upright, creating a picturesque scene against the backdrop of the surrounding snow.

The two stood side by side by the lake. Haiqi suddenly turned her head, looked at Mo Yan seriously, and said, "Brother Mo Yan, I really like that person. Actually, I've had a crush on him for a long time. Now that I'm an adult, I can date openly."

Would you wish me success in my crush?

Mo Yan smiled at the little girl's serious expression: "Then I wish you success in your unrequited love. But if you like someone, you should confess your feelings. It's not easy to make it work if you just keep having a crush on them."

At that moment, Haiqi's heart surged with emotion, as if she had said at the beginning, "You are the one I have a crush on."

He opened his mouth, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he still couldn't say them.

Haize wandered around the manor alone, the winter wind blowing, and his mind slowly regained its composure.

There's no rush with Shen Qingge's matter. Since the engagement was initiated by the other party, everything else will fall into place naturally.

It doesn't matter whether Shen Qingge's heart is with him or not, because she will be his woman sooner or later; moreover, this woman is quite valuable.

What makes me uncomfortable today, I'll make up for in another way tomorrow.

Can a dignified young master like Hai Ze really suffer heartbreak?

He also has plenty of experience being liked by women.

Everyone should make the best use of resources.

It's just that Shen Qingge is so short-sighted; she shouldn't blame Young Master Hai for being ruthless when she has to pay the price in the future.

Thinking this way, he felt much better.

But when I looked up, I saw two people standing by the lake.

One person was sitting in a wheelchair, and the other was standing beside them.

Although her clothes and appearance were very different from usual, Haize recognized her at a glance; it was his cousin.

Mo Yan is quite lucky; he's got a lot of life on his hands.

I've already inquired at the hospital; it's just a fracture, and I'll be able to stand up again after a few months of rest.

Even if it takes a few months, it's still a chance to make the most of the opportunity.

Without Mo Yan's tireless efforts, Haiyang and Gu Tingyu would be less able to directly handle the project, which would make them much more lax.

That was Haize's chance.

He had no grudge against Gu Tingyu, but his involvement with Haiyang affected his own interests.

He married Shen Qingge and formed an alliance with the Shen family.

Shen Qingge's aunt, Shen Wanjun, and uncle, Gu Tianyu, can also be categorized into their own camp, as their interests align.

So what else is there to be afraid of in Haize?

I never expected that my cousin Haiqi would fall for Mo Yan. No wonder she ran back alone earlier.

This is interesting.

As far as he knew, Mo Yan already had someone else in his heart. Perhaps this cousin could be of help in the future.

Haiqi turned her head and saw Haize. She waved and said, "Brother, why didn't your wife come out with you?"

"Your sister-in-law isn't feeling well and needs to sleep for a while, so I'm just going out for a walk."

This little girl has always been well protected by her family and her older brother Haiyang, and she has always been very warm towards her cousin.

I just don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
