TFWYH – Chapter 604 Falling into a Paradise

At this moment, the one Ling Yu was concerned about—Huangfu Ronglan—had practically fallen into a nest of blessings.

After learning how much his daughter had suffered, Huangfu Yi treated her with exceptional care.

Not only did he assign trusted attendants to look after her, he even arranged for her to live in the finest garden residence in the manor, complete with elegant pavilions and waterside terraces.

Everything she ate, wore, and used was of the highest quality.

On top of that, he specially selected two female shadow guards to accompany her and play with her, and he personally visited her every day.

Yuan Yuan had long known about Huangfu Ronglan and had begged Huangfu Yi multiple times to let her meet this young lady.

But he had always refused, saying that Huangfu Ronglan was afraid of strangers.

Eventually, perhaps worn down by Yuan Yuan’s persistence, he finally agreed and brought her along.

This was Yuan Yuan’s first time meeting the foolish young lady.

She wasn’t stunningly beautiful, nor did she resemble Ling Yu at all. However, there was a trace of Jiang Shi in her brows and eyes.

Her nose was high and straight, much like Huangfu Yi’s, giving her a spirited and heroic air.

But the foolishness in her eyes ruined that unique charm.

If she weren’t like this, she would surely have been an outstanding young woman.

When Huangfu Yi and Yuan Yuan arrived, Huangfu Ronglan was playing blindfolded hide-and-seek with the two female guards.

Suddenly, her nose twitched. With her hands outstretched, she walked straight toward Yuan Yuan.

Huangfu Yi frowned, about to say something, but Yuan Yuan stopped him.

She stepped forward a few paces.

In the next moment, Huangfu Ronglan hugged her and happily lifted her blindfold.

“Ah Hong, I caught—”

She froze mid-sentence, then took a step back in fear.

Yuan Yuan smiled gently and took out a piece of candy, offering it to her.

“Want some? It’s very sweet.”

Huangfu Ronglan shook her head and retreated another step, looking at Yuan Yuan timidly.

Yuan Yuan simply smiled, popped the candy into her own mouth, and closed her eyes in satisfaction.

“So sweet… it’s really delicious.”

Huangfu Ronglan bit her finger and quietly swallowed, tempted.

Yuan Yuan noticed her reaction and took out another piece of candy, offering it again.

“Give it a try. It really is sweet.”

This time, Huangfu Ronglan didn’t step back.

After hesitating for a while, she slowly reached out and took the candy.

Yuan Yuan gave her a warm smile.

Huangfu Ronglan returned a foolish grin, put the candy into her mouth—and her eyes lit up.

“It’s good! Sweet!”

“See? I didn’t lie to you,” Yuan Yuan said with a smile, stepping closer and taking out another piece. “I still have one more for you. After that, I’ve got candied dates too—they’re sweet and sour, also very tasty.”

“Th-thank you…” Huangfu Ronglan glanced at her shyly, then quickly grabbed the candy and ran to the side, squatting down.

When Yuan Yuan followed and took a look, she saw that Huangfu Ronglan had placed the candy in front of a group of ants.

Curious, Yuan Yuan asked, “What are you doing?”

Without looking up, Huangfu Ronglan replied, “Good things… share with friends… eat together.”

“…”

So… these are your friends?

For a moment, Yuan Yuan truly felt sorry for her.

A noble-born young lady, reduced to this by vile people.

Yuan Yuan took a deep breath, forcing her expression to remain gentle and warm.

“You’re really kind. I’d like to be your friend too—can I?”

Huangfu Ronglan nodded shyly.

She quickly glanced at Yuan Yuan, then at herself, and suddenly pulled a hairpin from her head and stuffed it into Yuan Yuan’s hand.

“You pretty… you wear!”

Yuan Yuan froze for a moment.

She couldn’t help but recall when she had once given a bracelet to Tang Wan—

and Tang Wan had refused it, saying it looked better on her instead.
