Forget it—it wasn't safe for her to travel there by herself? It wasn't safe for the pedestrians on the streets…
Ye Mufan first drove Ye Wanwan to the ancestral Si residence so that Ye Wanwan could get Si Yehan's household registration booklet from Grandma Si.
"Who'd like a granddaughter-in-law as bra.s.sy as you?! They'd probably be scared off by you! Just watch—his grandma will definitely kick you out!" Ye Mufan grumbled derisively.
However, 10 minutes later, Ye Wanwan came out again with a strikingly scarlet household registration booklet in her hand and a benevolent-looking elderly woman by her side.
The elderly woman merrily grasped the girl's hand as she said, "Hurry on then, but take your time on the road! Do you need Grandma to get a driver for you?"
"No need, no need, Grandma. My brother came with me, so he can drive me there!"
"Great great great…"
Ye Mufan stared at this incredibly harmonious scene in front of him. "…"
Why was the script turned upside down? Was he lagging behind the times???
…
Ye Wanwan looked at the time on her phone and estimated the time she had remaining.
"Hurry hurry hurry, help me go buy fireworks! We can light them in the suburbs!" Ye Wanwan urged.
She still hadn't forgotten about this!
Ye Mufan gritted his teeth. "Is being allowed to light fireworks the main point? Where am I supposed to buy fireworks for you in the middle of the night? Don't you think you're being too awful to me, a single dog?"
What kind of sin did he commit to be forced to follow her this whole time and be stuffed with dog food the entire trip?
"Eh, it's all because you're my brother!" Ye Wanwan blithely grinned. "Brother, I know you treat me the best, better than my real brother! No, wait, you are my real brother!"
Ye Mufan glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, concealing the ecstasy in his eyes. "Really?"
"Of course!"
"I remember there's a store nearby where we can buy them. Let's go there and try our luck!"
…
Thankfully, their luck was good and Ye Mufan really managed to buy a box of fireworks.
After stuffing the car trunk full of fireworks, they made their way to Jin Garden.
"Brother, please! You just need to go to the lake in the back! That place is the most ideal! You can start lighting them when it's time!" Ye Wanwan instructed him.
"OK! Leave it to me!"
After saying that, Ye Wanwan avoided the main entrance and scaled the wall in the back courtyard in order to surprise Si Yehan.
She'd completely renovated Jin Garden once and planted it full of fruit trees and vegetables.
Although it was winter right now, Ye Wanwan still saw many fruits that were in season and even saw a giant vegetable garden greenhouse in the distance.
It was very down-to-earth!
It appeared Steward Xu meticulously took care of the garden while she was gone, and the enormous garden was bustling with life and growth.
"WHO'S THERE?"
Ye Wanwan was wandering around when she heard a harsh shout, promptly followed by the sound of the slas.h.i.+ng wind.
Ye Wanwan extended her arm in a flash and blocked off the attack.
"Miss… Miss Wanwan!" Surprise filled Xu Yi's face when he saw the visitor.
"Miss Wanwan, why are you here?"
"I'm not allowed to be here?" Ye Wanwan raised her brows.
"You can. Of course you can. It's just… Why did you… why did you come inside by scaling a wall?"
"It'll be your Ninth Master's birthday when it's 12! I want to give him a surprise!"
"Tomorrow's Ninth Master's birthday?"
Si Yehan really never celebrated his birthday, so even Xu Yi had no clue about the exact date of Si Yehan's birthday.
