Chapter 288: Chapter 210: His Elder Brother

Tang Xi went to the mall to pick a gift for Yun Ye.

Actually, she didn’t know what to get for him.

He usually liked painting, and Tang Xi originally wanted to pick a set of painting supplies for him. But remembering that he came from a high-status background and was quite particular about his painting supplies, the ones she bought might not be to his liking. Tang Xi was worried about the birthday gift and made a call to Wen Ruomian.

On the other hand, Wen Ruomian gave her a suggestion.

Tang Xi bought a thermos cup.

Yun Ye usually painted in his studio for the entire day. Xiao Gu often said he didn’t like to go out and preferred solitude, and sometimes the tea he sent over quickly cooled down. Furthermore, Yun Ye didn’t like it when Xiao Gu came and went frequently while he was painting.

So, a thermos cup it was.

After choosing the gift, Tang Xi took a taxi to Yu Qinghua Mansion. Xiao Gu opened the door and smiled at her, "Miss Tang, you’re here. Sir seemed in a good mood this morning; today is his birthday, a rare happy occasion for him. Please come in, I’m cooking in the kitchen, and sir is on the terrace now."

After changing shoes, Tang Xi was somewhat surprised to hear that Yun Ye was on the terrace.

Because whenever she had visited before, Yun Ye would confine himself to his studio.

The terrace was well decorated, the community had an excellent environment, and the terrace area was large, furnished with a tea table and an umbrella, and some flowers and plants were planted.

At the moment, Yun Ye was out of his wheelchair, sitting on a chair, bending over caring for a plant in front of him.

Tang Xi approached, "I didn’t realize you knew so much about plants and flowers."

It seemed Yun Ye had known she would come early in the morning, so he wasn’t surprised by her voice. He was wearing a light blue shirt and black trousers, neatly dressed but not stiff. Bathed in the sunlight, he looked clear and distinguished.

Yun Ye himself had very outstanding features, and at this moment, his profile looked even clearer.

People who like painting probably all have a subtle artistic temperament.

Yun Ye’s skin was pale, and under the sunlight, it appeared dazzling yet frail.

At this time, he said, "The breeze has been pleasant these days, suitable for tending to some flowers and plants. These pots are orchids. If you like, you can even take one with you when you leave."

Tang Xi looked at the dirt on Yun Ye’s hands. His fingers were attractive: painter’s fingers, slender, fair, with distinct knuckles. Like delicate artworks, now covered with the mundane dirt, there was a kind of... different severed sensation, as if such hands shouldn’t touch filth.

Tang Xi picked up a towel from the side and handed it to him.

"I don’t garden; it’s not my thing. I can only care for succulents. I could even kill a cactus," she said.

Yun Ye wiped his hands and prepared to sit in the wheelchair, slowly standing up with the support of the tea table.

Tang Xi reached out to help him and then moved the wheelchair behind him.

Yun Ye intended to say he could manage by himself, but looking at the woman bowing her head and bending over, his gaze moved slightly, following her movements and sitting down in the wheelchair with her help.

His hand rested on her shoulder.

The woman came closer. In that moment, Yun Ye felt his body stiffen slightly, the air filled not just with the scent of flowers, but also with the faint fragrance emanating from the woman in front of him, as Yun Ye’s pupils slowly ignited a spark.

The man’s wheelchair was a high-end custom design, almost like half an intelligent AI machine.

He maneuvered the wheelchair to a window-side cabinet.

"Would you like some coffee? I can make you some."

Tang Xi nodded, "Thank you."

She took out the thermos cup she had brought and handed it to Yun Ye, "I bought this, well, just picked it up casually. A wealthy person like you wouldn’t lack anything, but I couldn’t come empty-handed to your birthday, right... I hope you don’t mind."

Indeed, Yun Ye lacked nothing.

But he looked at the thermos cup handed over by Tang Xi, black, in the style of a mug.

"Thank you," he paused, then Yun Ye said, "I really like it."

Tang Xi was somewhat surprised and smiled, "I’m glad you like it."

Nor was it in vain that she had spent two to three hours at the mall buying it.

The doorbell rang, Xiao Gu was preparing lunch in the kitchen, Tang Xi walked over to open the door and it was the delivery guy with the cake.

Xiao Gu spoke in a hoarse voice, "It’s the ordered cake, for the gentleman’s birthday. He doesn’t really like cake, but we still ought to have one."

Tang Xi signed for it.

The delivery guy carefully placed the cake on the coffee table and opened it, revealing the exquisite and luxurious Black Swan cake.

This was the first time Tang Xi was celebrating Yun Ye’s birthday, even though she had known him for over two years.

Suddenly, Tang Xi felt that giving a thermos might seem too stingy of her, but she was strapped for cash. She walked onto the balcony where Yun Ye had already prepared coffee on the coffee table. Seeing her, he said, "Sit down and have a coffee, it’s breezy here, very pleasant. It’s too stuffy inside the living room."

"Mr. Yun, what tools do you usually use for drawing, and which brand do you prefer?"

Yun Ye looked at her, "You don’t need to buy those things for me. I really like the thermos you gave."

Tang Xi, "That cake could buy hundreds of these thermoses..."

Yun Ye’s phone started ringing.

He answered a call and slightly frowned, seeming displeased by the conversation. After a few minutes, he hung up.

"Dr. Tang, do you know how to give massages?" Yun Ye asked.

Tang Xi nodded, "A bit."

"Then could you give me one?"

Tang Xi nodded, walked over, and began massaging Yun Ye’s shoulders.

Apparently due to years of drawing and confining himself in his studio, Yun Ye often bent over, causing a particular bone in his neck to protrude distinctly.

He was very slim, and Tang Xi could feel his bones as she applied pressure.

-

A black Maybach slowly drove into Yu Qinghua Mansion.

Shen Duan consulted the building number, drove around in a circle, and finally stopped.

"Sir, we have arrived at the residence of the eldest young master." Although Shen Duan had only been with Fu Tingzhou for a few years, he vaguely knew about the early incidents of the Fu Family. The Fu Family’s eldest had been injured in a spinal and leg accident, and has been using a wheelchair ever since. Among the three young masters of the Fu Family, one was disabled, one had died, and the other...was Fu Tingzhou, who inherited the Fu family fortune. Many suspected that Fu Tingzhou had harmed his siblings.

Although Fu Tingzhou has amnesia now, the estrangement between the brothers still persists.

Today is Fu Yunye’s birthday.

He just happened to be on North Island, so he figured he’d come over to see him.

It’s also a formality for Old Master Fu.

Whether before or after Fu Tingzhou’s memory loss, besides the familial bond, there was no other affection between him and Fu Yunye.

He had Shen Duan carry some items and walked over to knock on the door.

Xiao Gu answered the door, "Ah... who are...?" she exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Third young master?"

Xiao Gu had previously worked for the Fu Family and naturally recognized Fu Tingzhou.

However, the younger Fu Tingzhou of the past did not have the stern demeanor he presented now; back then, he still carried an air of youthful freshness and handsomeness, not the condescending aura he had from holding a position of power now.

Realizing that it was Fu Tingzhou who had arrived, Xiao Gu hurriedly let him in. While she ushered Fu Tingzhou inside, she quickly called towards the balcony, "Sir, sir, the third young master is here."

Tang Xi seemed to hear Xiao Gu’s voice, she said to Yun Ye, "It seems someone has come. Did they come to celebrate your birthday? Do you have other friends here on North Island?"

From what she knew, Yun Ye seemed to be quite a recluse.

When she was learning about Yun Ye’s condition, she had asked Xiao Gu whether there were any relatives or friends on North Island, and Xiao Gu had told her that apart from her, the caretaker Xiao Gu, Tang Xi was the person who had been in contact with Yun Ye the longest...
