Outside the Ferris Wheel were sky-filling fireworks.
After a long time, Mu Xingzhi finally let go of her.
Ye Shaohua placed her hand in his coat pocket, her hair somewhat disheveled; Mu Xingzhi was carefully smoothing her hair.
Ye Shaohua leaned against him, enjoying the fireworks outside the glass.
She saw the sky full of fireworks.
The Ferris Wheel was very high and slow, but at that moment, it had completed its rotation, pausing briefly.
Mu Xingzhi had finished arranging her hair and reached out his hand, guiding her to walk down.
Ye Shaohua turned her head and saw the colorful fireworks that fell like a landslide from the mid-air, forming characters.
It almost illuminated the entire park.
Ye Shaohua saw people in the park almost all stopped, their gazes filled with wonder as they watched this shower of fireworks.
It was incredibly beautiful.
The characters revealed by the fireworks shone brightly in mid-air.
Ye Shaohua stood still, not moving; when she first saw the arrangement of the fireworks, she had thought she might appear, so she wasn’t surprised.
She waited to see what exactly the words were.
It wasn’t the ridiculous phrase she imagined he had formed online.
There were only two lines:
"A Leaf Returns to the Clouds, Unfailing to Shaohua."
Ye Shaohua heard the silence around her for a moment, then suddenly, it burst like a popped balloon.
People screamed, others snapped photos, posting them on their social media.
"Daddy, look how pretty these fireworks are!" frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Why is someone setting off fireworks here? I haven’t seen such beautiful fireworks in years!"
"It’s my first time seeing fireworks forming words in real life!"
"..."
Everyone around, including the staff, marveled at this magical display of fireworks.
Mu Xingzhi put a cap on Ye Shaohua, covering the face that could incite a stir anywhere she went.
She stared at those words for a long time, feeling the commotion around her.
She lightly turned her head to look towards Mu Xingzhi.
Mu Xingzhi looked down at her.
His left hand seemed to be clasping something, Ye Shaohua looked up at him and saw his lips move.
The fireworks were still burning, drawing more and more people to this spot.
Beside the noise of fireworks, there was the sound of the crowd.
She couldn’t hear Mu Xingzhi’s voice.
The wind, unusually warm, helped her make out Mu Xingzhi’s lips.
He was asking, "Do you like it?"
Do you like it? Ye Shaohua tilted her head slightly, seriously thinking about this question.
Mu Xingzhi looked down, his gaze seemingly filled with light, flickering as he watched her.
He seemed to have not limited the crowd for the excitement.
People surrounded them.
He stood there relaxedly, one hand holding hers, the other helping her through the crowd, his head slightly lowered, bangs lightly hanging down, his whole figure appearing very lean.
His lowered brows and eyes looked gentle yet appealing.
Ye Shaohua raised her hand, looked at the ring, and slowly smiled, "Mu Guiyun, there’s just one thing to say to you..."
"Um?" Mu Xingzhi was not used to her calling him his formal name so earnestly.
In their traditional family, this generation all had a formal name.
He raised his eyebrows, staring at her.
The girl’s eyes were stern, always carrying an innate sharpness for others, but now they felt unbelievably soft: "My life has been full of ups and downs, but there’s one thing that’s been fortunate."
So many abandoned me, but you never did.
**
Unexpectedly, that night’s fireworks in the park topped social media.
Everyone guessed who dared to set off fireworks publicly, thinking they might be locked up for ten years.
At first, they thought it wouldn’t be long before the news of the person behind the fireworks appeared on social media.
But after two days, neither the police department nor the urban management had any news.
By then, they realized that the person behind this might not be easily provoked.
"I don’t know which tycoon did this," said Rong Lie, browsing social media, couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Ye Shaohua kept tilting her head looking at Sister Jiang.
In recent days, people in the training camp weren’t training but planning a wedding, some even practicing fighter jets for a performance at the wedding scene.
But, Ye Shaohua hadn’t talked about this with Sister Jiang yet.
"Your grandfather...he misses you a lot," Su Lan pressed her lips together, whispering softly, "I... I heard from the butler that you are getting married soon. Who is it? Actually, Rong Lie was a good choice; I should have introduced him to you... I’m not talking about this, Shaohua, I wronged you. I shouldn’t have believed Ye Tong’s words, abandoning you alone in..."
Despite so many days passing, the mention still hurt Su Lan, who spoke in a low voice with an unmistakable regret and disgust towards Ye Tong, "Ye Tong is still in prison, you... Shaohua... I’m sorry!"
These days, Ye Feng had refused to see Su Lan.
He even consulted a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement.
He and Old Master Ye, after much thought, still couldn’t forgive Su Lan.
Just the thought that Ye Shaohua’s earlier life was ruined by Ye Tong and Su Lan made them feel as if their hearts were being torn apart.
Their daughter of the Ye Family, who had lived under everyone’s gaze, should have had a promising future...
The Ye family members were notoriously protective; Ye Tong was still in prison, and without Mu Xingzhi intervening, it was uncertain whether she would ever get out with Old Master Ye still around.
After Su Lan finished speaking, she looked at Ye Shaohua.
Ye Shaohua, impatient, put her phone in her pocket; her face showed no emotional movement, "Are you done? Can I go now?"
Mu Xingzhi, when speaking of the time when Ye Shaohua was five, would get very angry.
Ye Shaohua had also never understood it; she had been unsure whether it was disappointment or hatred she felt. He used to care a lot about it.
But now she didn’t mind anymore.
Perhaps Su Lan was influenced by Ye Tong’s poisonous insect, but it signified nothing to Ye Shaohua.
She used to fight alone, detached from burdens, and having lived this way for long, she thought it was all right.
She looked towards the car door.
Su Lan, going pale, startled, moved a step aside.
Ye Shaohua reached the car door, just about to pull it open,
then heard a voice not too far away.
"Miss Ye, please wait!"
Su Lan, visibly saddened, was about to leave when she saw a middle-aged man walking towards Ye Shaohua; the man looked somewhat familiar.
She paused,
and suddenly remembered seeing his face on the news last night.
Staring blankly at the boss of the State Security Bureau, a figure before whom even Old Master Ye would bow, speaking humbly to her second daughter, "Miss Ye, please forgive me..."
Su Lan was unaware of Ye Shaohua’s current situation.
She only heard Old Master Ye’s regretful words that Ye Shaohua was immensely talented...
But she had never known that Ye Shaohua was acquainted with Minister Shen, let alone that he would be so humble towards her.
Su Lan’s mind went blank.
