Though it was official business, seeing her also uplifted his spirits for a while.
He closed his eyes, and Qingyue's voice and smile lingered in his mind.
In this life, apart from her, no other woman could occupy his heart.
...
Xiao Yuchuan returned to Qin Garden and saw his wife pruning potted plants in the yard.
"Wife..." he called out.
She snipped off an excess branch from the plant, "Third brother, you're back?"
"Wife, have you heard about second brother and Tao Meijiao's situation?"
Qingyue nodded, "I've heard."
Xiao Yuchuan sighed without a choice, "I didn't expect second brother to have Lady Xiao intervene, owing such a big favor. As for me, no matter what, since second brother sincerely wants to marry Tao Meijiao, I still hope he can win the beautiful woman. She is unwilling to marry second brother, and she's your friend. Whatever you want to do, I'll follow your wishes."
