Chapter 113: You’re Beautiful No Matter What (2)
He added on, “Go investigate what Qiao Ruohuan had been doing the same year and month.”
“Investigate Ms. Ruohuan?” Outsiders were astonished by their boss’s feelings for Qiao Ruohuan.
“Yes, completely investigate her!” Xing Yichen hung up after completing his words.
If Qiao Moyu didn’t go abroad to treat her burns, then father Qiao shouldn’t be denying that she went to a hospital. Instead, he should be denying that Qiao Moyu went to treat her burns.
Then, there must be something he still doesn’t know!
That afternoon, Ye Peicheng joined Qiao Moyu’s group.
Seeing that Qiao Moyu had only plucked some fresh flowers and willow branches, Ye Peicheng couldn’t help but suggest, “Moyu, these things aren’t going to sell for high prices. There is a walnut tree ahead, and it’s the perfect season for it to almost mature. We can go pick some walnuts instead, especially since plenty of people in the city these days enjoy playing with walnuts. If we’re lucky, we may find a pair of identical walnuts that we can sell for a pretty good price.”
Qiao Moyu was moved by his suggestion. She seemed to have thought of a way for Father Ye to avoid the air cras.h.!.+
Qiao Moyu avoided the photographer’s camera lens and asked in a low voice, “Brother Ye, does your father believe in superst.i.tions?”
Ye Peicheng held in his breath. Her question…
Ye Peicheng didn’t have much confidence in answering this question. He thought of Master Huang who had recently gone to his house. These days, his father was practically enchanted by the feng shui office, so much so that he had changed many of the decorative items at home based on the recommendations from the people working at the feng shui office. Ye Peicheng even heard that his father had designed a project within the Ye’s Group based on their suggested arrangments!

Qiao Moyu understood the moment she saw his expression. She smiled at him, “Then, this will be easy!”
She firmly said, “I’ll go pick some walnuts.”
“Some of the walnuts have already fallen on the ground; you can pick those—” Before Ye Peicheng could finish his words, Qiao Moyu already ran to the tree and nimbly climbed up.
Ye Peicheng rubbed the spot between his eyebrows, feeling a slight headache. Sometimes, she gave him the feeling that she was only eight years old.
Qiao Moyu picked nine walnuts in a row and threw it down. Ye Peicheng stood below the tree, catching and packing the walnuts into a bag. He indicated for her to pick some more.
Qiao Moyu picked a few more before coming down.
She placed the nine walnuts separately in a bag and pa.s.sed the rest of the walnuts to everyone else, “It’s pretty fresh. Try it.”
The threesome sat under the tree and while using a knife to peel off the walnut’s green skin. Afterwards, they picked up a rock to smash open the walnuts. Once these were peeled, they began to eat.
Qiao Moyu didn’t stay idle after eating the walnuts. She had collected many thin twigs and flowers along the way so that she could make flower garlands. After snacking on walnuts, she began to make flower garlands from these thin twigs and flowers.
Qiao Moyu braided the twigs into a hoop and then decorated it with fresh flowers of various colors. Finally, the flower garlands are completed.
Qiao Moyu asked, “Is it pretty?” She placed one of the flower garlands on her head.
The moment Ye Peicheng looked up, he saw her beautifully sitting next to him. The background was verdant green, while she was the dazzling brightness within the scene.
His voice was deeper than usual as he replied, “Pretty.”
At this moment, the live broadcast room’s ‘bullet-screen’ was maxed out again —

“Ah, my husband is complimenting another woman!”
“He is complimenting brother Yu!”
“But brother Yu becomes sister Yu in front of my Film Emperor Husband, wu, wu, wu~”
(T/N: Wu, wu, wu – Sound of crying)
“Ah, what did I see?!” Suddenly, the live-broadcasting room was silent. This was because Qiao Moyu placed a willow hoop without flowers on Ye Peicheng’s head!
The two people are now wearing a matching flower garland on their heads!
