Chapter 1938: The Little Pitiful One No One Pays Attention To

~7 min read 1,385 words

Wei Yangyang raised her head, about to lodge a complaint against her mother.

But...

What was up with that look of pure joy in her mother's eyes?

Wei Mama had indeed accidentally let a smile show.

But she couldn't help but smile!

Although Yi Xiang was younger than Wei Yangyang, he was thoughtful and very good at looking after people.

This made Wei Mama feel very gratified.

And that look of gratification made Wei Yangyang shiver involuntarily.

The next second, Wei Yangyang nudged Yi Xiang with her elbow and asked, "When are we starting to plant the flowers? I'll come help."

"No need, we can handle it. These two gardeners are very experienced and will be done quickly."

"I still have to help. Come on, come on, let's start!"

Wei Yangyang turned her back to Wei Mama, using the movement to avoid her mother's gaze, which was filled with maternal love mixed with a hint of gossip.

The soil in the garden was loose; it didn't need digging, and they could plant directly.

So the process of planting the seedlings was indeed very fast.

The experienced gardeners added different nutrients to the soil according to the different varieties of flowers.

Yi Xiang, meanwhile, set up labels for the seedlings.

Wei Yangyang was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Writing the flower names on the labels."

"Why write the names? Don't tell me you're going to take roll call?"

This was just a joke; after saying it, Wei Yangyang was pursing her lips to hide a smile.

Yi Xiang was smiling too.

His smile carried a trace of warmth.

Then he explained, "Didn't Doctor Xu hire someone to look after the garden? With these, the other person will know what flowers need to be replanted."

Compared to Wei Yangyang's nonsense, Yi Xiang's explanation was much more reliable.

Wei Yangyang couldn't help but praise him in her heart; this person was indeed attentive.

Of course, such words of praise were best kept to herself.

If she said them

out loud...

Mom would definitely misunderstand again.

Thinking of her mother, who was prone to overthinking, Wei Yangyang felt a headache coming on.

Fortunately, after staying outside for a while, Wei Mama went to the kitchen to make snacks.

The sun was very strong today.

Working under the sun, it didn't take long before it was unbearably hot.

Yi Xiang didn't like the feeling of fabric sticking to his body.

He simply took off his outer shirt, wearing only the white tank top underneath.

This Yi Xiang was truly a model.

Even a simple tank top looked high-end on him.

The muscle definition was faintly visible under the thin fabric...

When Doctor Xu came over, he saw this scene that was enough to make one's blood boil.

Looking at Wei Yangyang again...

Wei Yangyang had always liked admiring handsome men.

Her little eyes kept darting toward Yi Xiang whenever she had the chance.

Of course, this was also because Wei Mama wasn't there at the moment.

Otherwise, Wei Yangyang wouldn't dare to look at all.

But this surreptitious peeking had already made Doctor Xu sense a crisis.

He walked to the side and sent a message to Li Xingyan: "If you don't think of a way soon, your sweetheart is going to be snatched away by a male siren."

Not long after he sent the message, he received a call from Li Xingyan.

The other party asked immediately, "What's the situation?"

"Yi Xiang brought people to fix up the garden, and he's doing a great job of it. Everyone in the Wei Family is singing his praises."

Doctor Xu was good at summarizing.

It was just that his summary was a bit exaggerated.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyan frowned tightly, his voice laced with displeasure: "What is he butting in for!"

"Yeah, but he's already here. What are you going to do? If things continue at this pace, you won't have any room to make your move. And..."

"And what

?"

"Yi Xiang is walking around in front of Wei Yangyang wearing nothing but a tank top. I'm worried the little girl won't be able to hold out for long before she bows to his good looks."

"Impossible, she isn't that shallow..."

Li Xingyan didn't even finish his sentence before he stopped.

And the reason he paused was that Li Xingyan suddenly realized... Wei Yangyang was exactly that shallow!

In an instant, a sense of crisis emerged!

Li Xingyan told himself that he could not just sit and wait for death.

However, the Gardener he contacted was still abroad participating in a competition and simply could not rush back.

What could he do now?

Li Xingyan's brain was spinning at high speed.

And very quickly, he thought of a solution!

Li Xingyan hung up the phone and contacted that Gardener...

One hour later, Li Xingyan also went to the Wei Family.

He did not come empty-handed, but brought six pots of famous flowers.

The Peony, peony, Camellia, Narcissus...

Each pot had its own beautiful color, graceful posture, and nose-tingling fragrance.

Wei Mama's eyes went straight when she saw them!

Li Xingyan had people move these few pots of flowers into the living room.

Then, he stood among the flowers and explained to Wei Mama, "Knowing that you love flowers, a friend happened to cultivate some new varieties, so I brought them for you to enjoy."

Wei Mama was a person who loved flowers to begin with.

As soon as she looked at these flowers, she knew they were all peerless items!

Things you couldn't buy even with money!

Wei Mama smiled from ear to ear; she circled the flowers, praising them as she looked: "They are truly too beautiful!"

"As long as you like them; these flowers can be placed in the house, and when there is a suitable place in the garden, they can also be planted there."

Compared to growing flowers bit by bit, Li Xingyan was essentially gifting the finished results directly to Wei Mama.

How could Wei Mama not like them?

She even

had all her attention attracted, and from time to time she asked Li Xingyan questions.

Because these flowers were too beautiful, everyone gathered around.

Only Yi Xiang was left alone, still standing in the garden.

He patted the sign and sighed softly.

He thought to himself, was he already outclassed before his own had even bloomed?

That was a bit pitiful.

Just like him.

Comparing it this way, Yi Xiang sighed again.

He raised his hand, preparing to wipe his sweat.

At this moment, someone handed him a towel.

Yi Xiang took it and showed his white teeth to the other person: "Thank you."

"It is I who should thank you for helping me out of a tight spot just now."

Yi Xiang recalled it, and then realized that what Wei Yangyang was talking about was the matter of her and Jin Dou being scolded together just now.

Although Yi Xiang had helped.

But his methods...

Yi Xiang smiled guiltily, then said: "No need to thank me, just don't settle scores with me later."

He was using a retreat as a means of advance, wanting to wipe the slate clean regarding that matter just now.

Wei Yangyang did not let him have his way, but said: "One thing is one thing, anyway, I have noted down the fact that you were spouting nonsense."

"Don't be like that, it was a desperate situation at the time, let me make up for my faults with a good deed!"

As Yi Xiang said this, he also gave Wei Yangyang a fawning smile.

His smile was bright and clear.

Wei Yangyang looked at him and involuntarily thought of Jin Dou...

*Cough cough*—

Wei Yangyang coughed lightly, then turned her head away, forcefully suppressing the strange association.

At the same time, Wei Mama was in front, calling her name: "Yangyang!"

Wei Yangyang hurriedly looked over.

She was a little nervous, very afraid that her mother had seen the scene just now and associated it with something else.

But this time, Wei Yangyang worried for nothing.

Wei Mama hadn't thought in that direction at all.

Only hearing Wei Mama say with a serious face: "In the future,

Jin Dou should just play outside, don't come over here."
