Ye Xunhuan, who was murmuring softly to Qin Fenghuang's tombstone, almost instinctively turned his head towards the source of the footsteps upon hearing them.
The next moment, when Ye Xunhuan saw it was Qiu Ruoxi, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Honey, you... how did you get here?"
Previously, Ye Xunhuan had been blocked by those two people, and they had clearly told him that Qiu Ruoxi was not allowed to come over.
But now, seeing that Qiu Ruoxi had actually walked over, how could Ye Xunhuan not be surprised.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's question, Qiu Ruoxi didn't hide anything and told Ye Xunhuan about meeting that mysterious man outside again.
"You mean, that mysterious man let you in?"
Qiu Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, he said that if I want to come again next time, it would depend on myself."
"He should still be outside!" Qiu Ruoxi said somewhat uncertainly.
Although Ye Xunhuan was very curious about who this man was and wanted to see him again, in the end, Ye Xunhuan held back his curiosity and proceeded to pay respects to Qin Fenghuang with Qiu Ruoxi.
Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi didn't stay too long in front of Qin Fenghuang's grave. After a simple tribute, Ye Xunhuan whispered a few words to Qin Fenghuang's tombstone, then left with Qiu Ruoxi.
And as Qiu Ruoxi left, she bowed three times and knelt nine times to Qin Fenghuang's tombstone before following Ye Xunhuan away.
By the time Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi returned to this sea of flowers, that mysterious man was long gone, and they had no idea where he went.
Ye Xunhuan asked a few questions to the people guarding his mother's tomb, but ultimately didn't find anything, forcing Ye Xunhuan to give up.
Then, Ye Xunhuan took Qiu Ruoxi and left.
After walking out of Taofeng Cemetery, Qiu Ruoxi slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Xunhuan, I think that man might really be a close acquaintance of Mom!"
Although Qiu Ruoxi didn't know who the man was, a woman's intuition told her that the relationship between that man and Qin Fenghuang was definitely not simple.
"Maybe." Ye Xunhuan replied somewhat uncertainly, "One day, we'll find out."
Before Qiu Ruoxi could respond, Ye Xunhuan continued, "Where do you want to go? I'll accompany you for a stroll!"
"Anywhere is fine." Qiu Ruoxi replied very casually.
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi's response, Ye Xunhuan didn't ask further and took Qiu Ruoxi to Wangfujing!
Renowned as a place where money changes hands at lightning speed, Wangfujing offers daily necessities, hardware and electrical materials, clothing and footwear, jewelry and diamonds, gold and silver ornaments, and much more!
Generally, it's hard to imagine any woman visiting the capital without taking a stroll around Wangfujing, right?
Although Ye Xunhuan was very familiar with Wangfujing and had been there many times, it was his first time bringing Qiu Ruoxi.
Ye Xunhuan originally thought that Qiu Ruoxi might buy something, right?
But, surprisingly, Qiu Ruoxi bought nothing for herself; instead, she bought a few clothes for Qin Pojun.
"Honey, why didn't you buy something for yourself?" Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but ask.
"I don't need anything." Qiu Ruoxi replied softly, "Besides, what Wangfujing has, I can also get in Jiangzhong City."
"No need to buy here and take it back; it's troublesome!"
Though Wangfujing is a lucrative place, and its offerings are dazzling, for someone like Qiu Ruoxi, its merchandise isn't very appealing.
As for jewelry and cosmetics and such, Qiu Ruoxi runs her own online store on her e-commerce platform, so there's no shortage.
Regarding some luxury items, Qiu Ruoxi has connected with several foreign luxury brands, so she's not lacking in those either.
This greatly diminishes Wangfujing's attraction for Qiu Ruoxi.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan felt that bringing Qiu Ruoxi here was a mistake; what's here holds little allure for her.
Is this how it is with wealthy people?
Perhaps it would have been better to take her to Gui Street in the capital's snack area!
Although it's daytime and Gui Street is certainly not as lively as at night, it still wouldn't be very quiet.
After making a round in Wangfujing, Qiu Ruoxi remarked with some emotion, "It's truly a great place; I must open a physical store here someday!"
Wangfujing indeed has a huge flow of people, and not everyone is like Qiu Ruoxi, with little interest in its goods.
"Honey, we came out to have fun, so let's not think about work, alright?" Ye Xunhuan said helplessly.
Qiu Ruoxi glanced at Ye Xunhuan and said, "It's a habit..."
"Alright then, honey, let's grab a bite before continuing our stroll?" Ye Xunhuan suddenly suggested.
Although Qiu Ruoxi showed little interest in the goods here, she still seemed very enthusiastic, as if full of excitement, not feeling tired at all.
Perhaps it's a woman's nature that as long as it's shopping, all women are the same.
Qiu Ruoxi nodded, agreeing.
Subsequently, Ye Xunhuan took Qiu Ruoxi to eat.
After eating, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi walked around for another half day before heading back to the Qin household around four or nearly five in the afternoon.
After all, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and when they left the Qin household, Qin Pojun had specifically reminded them not to come back too late, as everyone in the Qin family would be having a reunion dinner.
Ye Xunhuan didn't really care about Qin Pojun's reminder, thinking that, since this reunion dinner wouldn't be enjoyable anyway, whether they arrived early or late wouldn't make any difference.
But Qiu Ruoxi thought differently; this was her first time coming to the Qin family with Ye Xunhuan, and with everyone gathering for dinner, if they arrived late or made everyone wait,
perhaps everyone would think Qiu Ruoxi was being inconsiderate.
So Qiu Ruoxi returned to the Qin household early with Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan returning, and that Qiu Ruoxi bought clothes for him, Qin Pojun, although saying that he has everything and it was just wasting money, couldn't hide the genuine happiness on his face.
Time always flies by unnoticed; before they knew it, the entire sky had gradually darkened.
And the people of the Qin family also arrived at the old house one after another.
However, no one greeted Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, nor did anyone inquire about them.
The couple seemed to be like plague gods, isolated by others!
