“I understand now. It was improper of me to think that way. Husband, don’t be upset.”

Yun Shi immediately decided not to dwell on the matter any longer.

The next morning, just as Wei Ruo got up, someone knocked on the gate of Tingsong Garden.

After Xiumei opened the door, she found that the person knocking was none other than Wei Yilin. He was dressed in a black riding outfit, with his hair tied back, looking rather sharp and capable.

“Does the young master need something?” Xiumei asked.

“I’m looking for Wei… I’m looking for her. Is she here?” He instinctively started to call her by name but seemed to remember something and chose to change his words.

However, calling her “Elder Sister” felt a bit difficult for him, so he opted to refer to her as “her.”

“Miss is busy with something,” Xiumei replied.

In fact, Wei Ruo had just gotten out of bed, but Xiumei didn’t want Wei Yilin to bother her.

Wei Yilin stretched his neck to peek into the courtyard, but he didn’t see any sign of Wei Ruo. His little face showed a hint of disappointment.

Xiumei didn’t know what the child was thinking and didn’t want to directly shoo him away. She could only wait for him to leave on his own after looking around enough.

“Let her know I went to Father’s place. Tell her to come over when she’s done,” Wei Yilin said to Xiumei.

Xiumei didn’t know what Wei Yilin’s intentions were but still agreed, “Alright, young master.”

Then Wei Yilin left. Not long after he left, Wei Ruo came out of her room. Xiumei told Wei Ruo about Wei Yilin coming to look for her just now.

“The young master is so strange, who knows if he’s up to something bad again.” Xiumei voiced her concern.

Wei Yilin certainly had a long record of mischievous behavior, so he had no credibility in their eyes.

“Ignore him.”

Wei Ruo had no intention of dealing with Wei Yilin. After staying busy in the courtyard for a while, she planned to go back inside to review the recent account books. With two new shops opening in the city and the acquisition of over a thousand mu* of farmland on the estate, Wei Ruo had plenty of things to handle lately.

*a thousand mu= 165 acres.

Not long after she returned to her room, someone from Cangyun Garden came. Wei Mingting had sent someone to invite Wei Ruo over.

Since it was her father calling, Wei Ruo couldn’t refuse.

When she arrived at the entrance of Cangyun Garden, she could hear the crisp sound of a whip cracking in the air. As she walked closer, she saw Wei Yilin performing with a whip in front of Wei Mingting.

One crack followed another, and he actually seemed to be doing a decent job of it.

It seemed like Wei Yilin noticed her arrival because he began to perform even more vigorously. The whip hitting the ground made even louder and clearer sounds.

After a while, he ended his performance with a beautiful backhanded flick of the whip.

Wei Yilin put away the whip and ran over to Wei Mingting, looking at him with eager anticipation.

“Not bad at all. You’ve got the hang of it. The fact that you’ve made such progress in such a short time shows that you’ve indeed put in some effort,” Wei Mingting said.

He wasn’t stingy with his praise and complimented Wei Yilin’s performance.

Although he was strict, he would always acknowledge when the child did something well.

Wei Yilin’s little face immediately lit up with joy and shyness.

This was the first time in his life that his father had praised him!

It turned out that his father could praise him too!

In the past, he thought no matter what he did, his father would never acknowledge him, so he simply gave up. Having his elder sister Wanwan’s praise was enough for him. If his father disapproved of him, he didn’t need his recognition.

But now he realized that earning his father’s praise wasn’t as difficult as he thought!

Wei Yilin then turned to look in the direction where Wei Ruo was standing—sure enough, he had already seen her earlier.

“So, how was it? Was my whip technique good?” Wei Yilin asked Wei Ruo.
