I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Chapter 115 How about we invite an old friend to film this?

Gu Yan didn't speak.

"so……"

Lin Jinyu leaned closer, her golden eyelashes almost brushing against his skin, her voice as soft as a feather, "Xiao Yan, can you like me?"

"OK?"

"Sister Lin, let's not talk about this anymore."

"It will get dark soon."

"Go in."

Gu Yan removed her hand from her face without giving a direct response.

After saying that, he stepped into the sea of flowers first.

Lin Jinyu stood there, watching the boy's slender figure disappear into the swaying flowers under the starlight, and muttered to herself:

"Xiao Yan... you're a bad person."

Then she jogged a few steps to catch up with him, took his hand again, and this time held it very tightly.

......

Stepping into the Starry Flower Sea, Gu Yan felt much more relaxed.

This sea of flowers is one of the most famous romantic spots for couples in the Great Xia Empire.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a couple from opposing sides met and fell in love here, and their sacrifice ultimately brought about a century of peace between the two countries.

Where they fell, the following spring, the mountains and fields were covered with silver, star-shaped flowers that had never been seen before. When the night wind blew, they would shimmer, like fallen stars.

Since then, countless couples have come here to make wishes, praying that their love can overcome all obstacles.

As dusk settled, the last vestiges of orange-red on the horizon sank below.

Countless silver-blue star-like flowers swayed gently in the evening breeze, their petals glowing faintly with a fluorescent light, forming a flowing river of light that shone brightly against the backdrop of newly appearing stars in the sky.

The air is filled with a light and sweet floral fragrance, neither too strong nor too weak, just enough to calm the mind.

The key issue is that there are very few people.

Gu Yan has never liked crowded tourist attractions.

Shoulder to shoulder, mingling with the smell of sweat, even queuing to see the scenery—that's hardly a trip, it's pure torture.

He liked it this way—not many people, not noisy, he could walk quietly, occasionally stopping to look at the flowers along the way and feel the breeze.

Scenery is not something you should rush through; it's something that you should experience slowly and gradually immerse yourself in.

"So Xiao Yan wanted to come here because it's really beautiful."

Lin Jinyu held his hand and walked quietly beside him, her voice soft, "This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful place."

Gu Yan turned her head to look at her.

The girl's long golden hair was gently lifted by the evening breeze, and her exquisite profile, illuminated by the fireflies in the sea of flowers, exuded a gentleness rarely seen in her daily life.

She noticed his gaze, turned her head and smiled at him. The smile wasn't as flamboyant and enthusiastic as usual; it was just a simple, somewhat childlike happiness.

Gu Yan suddenly realized.

This was probably her first proper trip.

Back in the Lin family, her abilities were unstable, and she was prone to losing control when her emotions fluctuated. Her scorching and violent aura could be felt within a radius of dozens of meters.

Let alone bringing her to the scenic spot, I have to check on her condition repeatedly even when we go out for a walk.

For years, she was practically confined to the Lin family mansion, facing the same rooms, the same courtyard, and the same servants who were always careful not to upset her.

Therefore, for her, the significance of this sea of flowers was far greater than he himself realized.

"Um."

Gu Yan nodded and replied softly, "It looks very good."

Hearing his response, Lin Jinyu tightened her grip on his hand even more.

They slowly walked to the center of the flower field.

This is the essence of the entire scenic area.

The Starshine Flowers are planted at an extreme density, and the path underfoot is paved with translucent energy stones that reflect the glow of the petals. Walking on it feels like walking on a galaxy.

In the distance, there is a small artificial lake, its surface reflecting the starlight and sea of flowers. Occasionally, night birds fly by, leaving trails of fine silver ripples.

Lin Jinyu stopped and suddenly shook Gu Yan's hand excitedly: "Xiao Yan, let's take a picture!"

Photograph?

These two words made Gu Yan momentarily dazed.

He unconsciously thought of another person.

The girl who sat in a wheelchair, with snow-white hair and ice-blue eyes that were always as calm as a lake.

He also took photos with her.

In front of the dark magic roller coaster, she endured the excruciating pain and stood up, using all her strength, just to leave behind a seemingly normal group photo.

The longing and stubbornness in her eyes at that moment, and the almost inaudible, suppressed breathing as she fell back into her wheelchair after pressing the shutter...

Gu Yan suddenly became a little distracted.

Cecilia.

She is the female lead, yet she seems to have never been treated kindly by fate.

Her mother passed away when she was very young. She was the most famous saint in the Kingdom of Iluo, but she married a foreign man from Daxia for love and eventually died protecting Cecilia.

Cecilia's full name should be Cecilia Grimaldi.

Cecilia's maternal grandmother's house.

The Grimaldi family of Italy, the ancient rulers of the principality, possess a superhuman bloodline that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, yet they have never acknowledged this granddaughter who has half-Daxia blood.

In their eyes, her mother's marriage to Chen Sinian was a disgrace to the family's bloodline honor.

When Cecilia was ten years old, the Grimaldi family sent people to Great Xia, ostensibly to visit relatives, but in reality, they wanted to take her back to Yiluo and use her bloodline to continue the family's dying supernatural ability inheritance.

After being firmly rejected by Chen Sinian, the arrogant old duke declared: "Grimaldi's blood must never be allowed to flow in the blood of foreigners."

"Since we can't take him with us, let's pretend this person never existed in our family."

From then on, Cecilia became a taboo stain on that ancient family, and was never mentioned again.

She had a father and the Chen family, but the blood ties from a foreign land that should have belonged to her mother were completely severed before she was even born.

Therefore, there is always an indelible loneliness in her eyes.

……

"Xiao Yan!"

A playful, slightly annoyed reproach pulled Gu Yan back from her daze.

The next second, an incredibly soft and delicate body snuggled into his arms.

Lin Jinyu wrapped her arms around his waist, tilted her head back, and her golden eyes were filled with grievance and wariness.

"What are you thinking about?"

Her voice was muffled, tinged with obvious jealousy, "Are you thinking about other women?"

Gu Yan was taken aback.

"Xiao Yan can't think about other women."

Lin Jinyu stared straight at him, the obsession in her eyes flickering like tiny golden flames. "I'll get angry."

"I'm extremely angry."

"I'm not thinking anything inappropriate."

"Weren't we going to take a picture?"

"Should we find someone to take the photos for us?"

Gu Yan snapped out of her daze and said softly.

Lin Jinyu stared at him for several seconds, seemingly trying to determine whether he was lying.

Then a smile returned to her face, like a clear sky after the dark clouds had dispersed.

"Although I've taken many photos with Xiaoyan before."

She loosened her arms from around Gu Yan's waist and instead held his hand, her voice tinged with a hint of pride and anticipation, "But the photo with Xiao Yan has to be the most formal and the best one."

"so--"

She paused, her golden eyes sparkling as she looked at Gu Yan.

"How about we invite an old friend to film it?"

Gu Yan was taken aback.

old friend?

An old friend who took their picture...

Could it be Sir Anthony Lawrence, the one who ruined him?

Gu Yan's lips twitched, but before she could refuse, Lin Jinyu had already cheerfully taken out her phone and dialed a number.

"Feed? Uncle Anthony!"

Are you near Jiangzhou?

"Yes, we're at Xinghui Flower Sea, and we'd like to ask you to take some photos there."

"Hmm! A very important photo!"
