Back then, Yulan Estates had just been built, and at that time, Miles Gu and Yina Yin were still young.
The two of them, under Ethan Yin's orders, went to inspect Yulan Estates.
It was there that the still-inexperienced Miles Gu confessed and proposed to the playful Yina Yin.
Although the two had been engaged since childhood, their true bond was formed at that moment.
When Ethan Yin mentioned Yulan Estates, he couldn't help but feel sentimental.
Back then, Yina was still young and full of mischief, with a lively personality. Who knows what Miles Gu was feeling at the time when he managed to tame this wild spirit.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.
Yulan Estates has become a mature villa community, one of the local wealthy districts. Its market value has multiplied, adding to the assets of the Yin Consortium.
But the two who fell in love there have long since changed; nothing is as it was.
Ethan Yin looked at Miles Gu's pale, conflicted face and knew he was recalling memories of his primary persona.
Tsk tsk tsk.
"Of course I'm going," Miles Gu said. "If you can go, why can't I?"
"I never said you couldn't," Ethan Yin replied lazily. "You're Mom's son, of course you can go. But the room you stayed in back then will need to be changed. There are so many people going this time, we had to reorganize the rooms. Not just you, even my room is being moved."
Miles Gu's eyes darkened, but he said nothing.
"Alright, I just came to let you know. Now I need to go greet the next person." Ethan Yin patted Miles Gu on the shoulder and said, "Even though you're not him, I still have to say—take care of yourself."
With that, Ethan Yin stood up and left.
Miles Gu stood there, his gaze passing through the crowd, landing on Yina Yin who was still discussing work, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
He had missed out on the greatest treasure.
It was he who gave it up so easily.
He deserved it.
Yina Yin, Cherry Miller, and the others subconsciously straightened their backs, proud to be part of it.
Seeing everyone’s slightly displeased expressions, Cherry Miller quickly spoke up, "I actually know a little about this."
Cherry Miller successfully shifted everyone’s attention.
Cherry Miller chuckled, "Because Yulan Estates used to be Yina’s favorite place, that’s why Ethan and Miles worked so hard to turn it into one of Newport City’s most profitable spots."
Cherry Miller spoke with the villa’s butler, then temporarily took charge and arranged everything perfectly.
Yes, because this was the place where Miles first proposed to her, so he said this meaningful spot could never be abandoned.
So Miles started the project, Ethan joined in, and together they turned Yulan Estates into the city’s most profitable, bustling place.
After all, Winston Fan, Andy Ding, Nick Ning, Shawn Yan, and the others were just too outstanding.
Now Yulan Estates had become the most prosperous and lively place, just as they had envisioned.
But their engagement was already over.
Miles, hurry back.
I miss you.
Shawn Yan had always been quiet. If he started talking a lot, that would be scary.
Cherry Miller had the staff send juice to their rooms, and soon she received thank-you messages from both.
Cherry Miller put away her phone and went to find Yina Yin.
Security here was top-notch. Even Ethan had to verify his identity to enter.
"Thinking about him?" Cherry Miller sat down beside Yina.
Yina leaned on Cherry Miller’s shoulder, silent.
Cherry Miller understood Yina’s feelings, patted her back and said, “I wasn’t planning to bring you all here at first. But Ethan said to fight poison with poison, so I agreed.”
It was extremely safe.
"It will." Cherry Miller’s reassurance felt hollow.
Once there, everyone was free to do as they pleased.
Cherry Miller didn’t know what to say.
Those who wanted to discuss work went to the leisure area halfway up the hill, quiet and comfortable for meetings.
"Everyone’s settled," Cherry Miller said. "I plan to split up some of the group here. Those not interested in the Yin family’s matchmaking can go their own way. Too many people isn’t always a good thing."
Because of the pleasant environment, several people who had planned to leave the matchmaking event decided to stay.
After two days, many realized they were just making up the numbers and had no real chance.
After all, Winston Fan, Andy Ding, Nick Ning, Shawn Yan, and the others were just too outstanding.
It was hard to compete with them.
So they wisely chose to withdraw and treat it as a vacation.
Gavin Gao was unusually quiet today, as if something was on his mind.
Cherry Miller’s conversation with him seemed to have had some effect.
Shawn Yan had always been quiet. If he started talking a lot, that would be scary.
Cherry Miller had the staff send juice to their rooms, and soon she received thank-you messages from both.
Cherry Miller put away her phone and went to find Yina Yin.
Sure enough, Yina was sitting in the room where Miles used to stay, lost in thought.
"Thinking about him?" Cherry Miller sat down beside Yina.
Yina leaned on Cherry Miller’s shoulder, silent.
Cherry Miller understood Yina’s feelings, patted her back and said, “I wasn’t planning to bring you all here at first. But Ethan said to fight poison with poison, so I agreed.”
"Do you think the primary persona will come back?" Yina asked gloomily.
"It will." Cherry Miller’s reassurance felt hollow.
Yina smiled faintly. “Even you aren’t confident.”
Cherry Miller didn’t know what to say.
“It’s fine, I’m just feeling sentimental. I’m not that fragile.” Yina straightened up. “Just reminiscing. By the way, is everyone settled in?”
“Everyone’s settled,” Cherry Miller said. “I plan to split up some of the group here. Those not interested in the Yin family’s matchmaking can go their own way. Too many people isn’t always a good thing.”
“Okay, whatever you decide,” Yina replied casually.
Cherry Miller thought for a moment. “I just passed Shawn Yan’s room and saw he seemed troubled. Do you want to check on him?”
Yina perked up. “Really? I’ll go take a look!”
With that, Yina hurried out.
Watching Yina’s retreating figure, Cherry Miller couldn’t help but smile.
She really did always like pretty girls.
