Seeing Gu Tingyu's response, Su Maiqi had no choice but to accept it.

I still feel a little uneasy.

She could only console herself that, anyway, this thing was for Gu Tingyu's wife.

When they divorce, she will definitely leave it to Gu Tingyu, and he can then give it to his future wife.

Since Gu Tingyu married her to help him solidify his position in the family and get what he wanted, doesn't this just prove that she has done her job well?

The rest were matters between Gu Tingyu and his grandfather, issues that were internal family matters and had nothing to do with him.

After thinking about it this way, she felt much better, and a smile returned to Su Maiqi's face: "Thank you, Grandpa."

She carefully wrapped the jade pendant in the black velvet lining of the box and put it in her bag.

Grandpa Gu nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu wearing matching outfits and thought they were a surprisingly good match.

"You two look good today. Why don't you come with me for a walk in the garden?"

"Okay, Grandpa, the sun is quite warm today."

As she spoke, she prepared to get her down jacket and told her grandfather, "Although the sun is out, the temperature is quite low today, so please wear something warm."

Grandpa chuckled and said, "No need, no need, come with me."

Although Su Maiqi was somewhat suspicious, she still followed Grandpa Gu out of the study and walked towards the back of the house.

Unexpectedly, there was a small door at the back of the room. Pushing open the door led to a glass corridor. Su Maiqi followed her grandfather forward and discovered that the Gu family's garden was incredibly luxurious.

It is a glass greenhouse with carefully controlled temperature and humidity. In the cold winter, the greenhouse is like a microcosm of spring, warm and cozy.

It contains many rare plants that are rarely seen in the northern winter.

Su Maiqi's heart leaped with joy, and she said sincerely, "Grandpa, this place is so beautiful."

"This is your grandmother's garden. She loves all kinds of plants and designed this garden herself. It's very comfortable to sit in there in winter, drink tea, and bask in the sun."

Su Maiqi looked around, taking in the space surrounded by flowers, its temperature-controlled design, the ability to store collected solar energy, the adjustable humidity, and the ventilation system.

Although it's a glass room, it's not stuffy at all; it's filled with the fragrance of various flowers, making it very pleasant.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "Grandma is amazing! She must have a very beautiful heart."

Grandpa smiled and nodded: "Yes, Grandma was kind and intelligent. It's a pity that she passed away not long after this garden was built, and she didn't get to enjoy it much."

Grandpa doesn't usually come to this garden often, as the sight of it easily evokes memories and makes him feel sad; but today, I don't know where he got the urge, he just wanted to bring Sumaiqi here to see it.

After saying the words "a kind and gentle heart," he suddenly realized his own thoughts. He felt that Su Maiqi had the same qualities as his deceased wife.

The same calm demeanor.

The same gentle and kind nature.

Equally perceptive and talented.

He knew the girl would love the little garden.

It is a blessing that my wife's hard work, after so many years, is still appreciated and genuinely loved by her granddaughter-in-law.

He believed his wife would be happy too.

He was right; Sumai really loved this garden.

I am truly happy.

The little girl inside me, bursting with joy, came out.

She couldn't help but touch this and smell that. The old man looked at her and smiled, his eyes even showing a hint of doting affection.

Gu Tingyu stood to the side, somewhat dumbfounded.

This side of Su Maiqi, this side of her grandfather, were things he was unfamiliar with.

However, he was able to guess a few things.

He was only a few years old when his grandmother passed away. His vague memories of her were of a very gentle and patient old lady.

She often read fairy tales to herself from books and patiently answered all sorts of strange questions he asked.

In the summer, Grandma especially liked to wear floral dresses, and she often wore a pearl necklace around her neck. The round pearls shone with a soft luster under the sunlight.

She loves all kinds of plants and often collects them to make laundry detergent or uses plant leaves to make various collages.

The way she looked in the garden was just like Su Maqi at that moment—joyful, happy, and excited.

She also liked to adorn her hair with all sorts of small flowers.

Later, Gu Tingyu also developed a fondness for various plants. When he was under a lot of pressure or feeling upset, he would come to this garden to sit for a while.

The smile in the old man's eyes at this moment was probably because he saw a reflection of his grandmother when she was young.

There were even "Christmas roses" in the garden. The white flowers looked especially pure in the cold, like fairies in the snow.

The petals have a faint green edge and a deep purple center, giving them a mysterious and noble feel.

There's also the "winter cherry blossom," whose pink flowers look especially warm in the winter sun.

The flowers are small and delicate, with soft petals and a faint fragrance.

The item exuding a rich aroma is the "iron chopsticks," with a unique flower shape resembling ancient chopsticks. Its colors range from deep red to purplish-red, creating a strong visual impact.

The most eye-catching plant is a "Phalaenopsis orchid" with an elegant flower shape and petals that resemble butterfly wings. Its color gradually changes from light purple to dark purple, as if a group of butterflies are dancing in a greenhouse.

Sumaiqi was happily strolling in the garden when she saw a carefully decorated little corner ahead.

A long, hand-carved wooden table and several comfortable rattan chairs.

A soft cotton and linen tablecloth was laid on the table, upon which were placed exquisite tea sets. The porcelain was delicate, and the teapot and teacups were decorated with faint patterns, complementing the surrounding natural scenery.

Above and on the glass roof and the glass wall next to it, along the flower rack, are beautiful climbing roses, full of pink flowers.

Several vintage chandeliers hung in the corner, and Su Maiqi could imagine that at night, the chandeliers would emit a soft and warm light, creating another kind of cozy atmosphere.

She sat in the wicker chair, and even with her eyes closed, she could smell the fragrance of flowers; the scents of various plants mingled together—it was truly wonderful.

Before anyone knew it, Grandpa and Gu Tingyu had come over. Grandpa sat in the rattan chair opposite him, and Gu Tingyu stood behind him.

Seeing Su Maiqi take a deep breath and open her eyes, Grandpa smiled and said, "How is it? Do you like it?"

“But I really, really love it. Grandpa and Grandma are so romantic. She must be very beautiful.”

"Yes, she was very beautiful," the grandfather said emotionally, his eyes filled with deep affection, as if his deceased wife were standing right in front of him.

At that moment, Gu Tingyu seemed to be hallucinating as he saw his grandmother's kind face again, her eyes filled with a smile, looking at him and saying, "Tingyu, you've found a good wife. Grandma is so happy for you."
