Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Around 10 p.m., it started to rain.

The light drizzle enveloped the entire tranquil Ying family mansion in a misty, damp atmosphere.

Ying Yuchuan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

As she walked, she dried her wet hair with a towel.

He went to the recliner by the bed, draped a dry towel over the back of the chair so the maid could tidy it up tomorrow, and then put on the thick, dark blue bathrobe that was neatly folded at the foot of the bed.

Everything in his room was arranged neatly and orderly, just like his personality: mature and steady, yet slightly old-fashioned, dull, taciturn, and reserved.

Pushing open the double wooden window next to the desk, a cool spring breeze instantly blew in, carrying a fresh scent of rain mixed with the smell of grass.

He enjoyed the feeling.

Holding a document he brought back from the company, he sat in the office chair by the window, carefully reading the document while drinking warm water from his thermos.

The Ying family mansion is always very quiet at night.

Ying Yuchuan was disturbed by some voices outside the window after only half a minute of not seeing the document.

I looked out with a puzzled expression.

The servants at the Ying family mansion are very well-behaved. After eight o'clock, they all return to their private courtyard at the back and do not make noise there.

"Sister, are these cherries? My goodness, they're growing so full and you're not even picking them? You're really letting down God."

"Lu Ming, have you never seen cherries in your past life? What are you yelling for? Come back here."

"No, sis, these are cherries! Cherries are ridiculously expensive at fruit shops. Why don't we pick some and sell them at a stall?"

"...Hmm, that's a good idea."

The sound of a girl and a boy talking drifted in along with the sound of rain.

Ying Yuchuan chuckled inwardly.

That cherry was a wild cherry that Grandpa transplanted from the mountains; it was so sour it made your teeth ache…

"...Ptooey, ptooey, so sour."

Before Ying Yuchuan could finish what he was thinking, he heard the boy's voice, which sounded so sour it made him want to vomit.

His dark, deep eyes gazed at the wall not far ahead, and through the begonia-shaped lattice window, he looked at the cherry tree outside the window in the rain.

It's about seven or eight meters away.

The lights were not very bright.

However, he still spotted a slender, adorable, round-faced girl with a bright smile and a...

He subconsciously furrowed his thick, dark eyebrows.

With a head of fluffy yellow feathers and a dry, thin body, it looked like a... yellow-feathered duckling.

But then he had another question.

Who are these two people?

Why did they appear at the Ying family's place?

Could she be a new maid?

However, given his grandfather's prejudice, he would never allow a blond-haired man to enter the Ying family.

Curious about the identities of the two young men and women, he stared intently at them without blinking.

He saw that the lovely and bright girl didn't believe it, picked a slightly red cherry, wiped it on her clothes, and then put it in her mouth.

next second.

She was so sour that she grimaced and made faces, not even having time to spit it out.

"Pah, pah, pah... If we were to sell these cherries, the customers would beat us to death."

She's quite self-aware.

Ying Yuchuan chuckled inwardly at her words and actions.

She wiped her mouth with her hand, then grabbed the blond-haired man's ear.

"Go, go, go back to sleep. This is someone else's property. Don't touch their things."

Just as they turned around, the siblings, who had been facing away from Ying Yuchuan, noticed that a young man was watching them from the window of the room inside the latticed window.

He was backlit by the bright lights inside the room, and from their angle, his features were partially obscured, making them unable to see him clearly.

However, one thing is certain: he is watching them.

Did he just see them stealing cherries?

Two eyes facing four eyes.

Lu Ming stared back with wide eyes.

What are you looking at?

Lu Luozhi smiled and waved to him.

Hi~

The crisp, melodious sound, like raindrops hitting a wind chime, drifted over with the sound of rain, and was quite pleasant to hear.

The siblings showed no signs of guilt at being discovered and seemed quite at ease.

Ying Yuchuan stared intently, his expression calm, without any reaction.

"Well, I won't bother you any longer, we'll be going now."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, he saw her grab the blond-haired guy by the ear, dragging him away as he groaned in pain, step by step, in the dark rain, from his sight.

They seemed to have walked into the courtyard of the guest rooms diagonally opposite.

He then looked away.

Let's refocus our attention on the documents.

Were they Grandpa's guests?

However, he didn't take this small matter to heart.

Back in the room where she was assigned to stay, Lu Luozhi slapped Lu Mingshi on the back of the head.

"Lu Ming, next time you're not allowed to run out without asking me. This is someone else's house, not Mitian Village. Don't act like you're in your own backyard."

If someone doesn't keep an eye on him, he'll slip out on his own and even set his sights on someone's cherry tree.

Luckily, she discovered it early, otherwise this guy might have pruned the cherry tree until there were no branches left.

Lu Mingshi rubbed his messy blond hair, curious about the man from earlier.

"Sis, do you think that guy might tell on us? Should I go and warn him?"

Lu Luozhi rolled her eyes and immediately forced him to hit her on the head.

"Let me warn you first."

The deer felt no pain when it cried out.

"Okay, sis, stop hitting me. Don't say I'm rough and hurt your hands."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you obediently. Please stop hitting me. What if you make me stupid?"

whee.

His older sister's words were like imperial edicts; how could he dare disobey her?

"You're stupid enough as it is, this little bit more won't make a difference."

Only after he begged for mercy did Lu Luozhi let him go.

But who is that man?

Could it be a member of the Ying family?

I hope I won't get reported for picking a couple of cherries?

She scratched her head and chuckled.

Let them sue; they've already removed it anyway.
