Later that day, the villa's garden was bustling with activities in preparation for the book gathering. The mansion's garden gleamed under soft white lights, every corner radiating quiet opulence.
The maids set up sleek glass tables and white orchids framed the manicured lawn, while servers in black suits moved gracefully through the crowd.
A champagne bar glittered near the fountain, and books were stacked on the center table.
Yue Ning and Huo Yan supervised the setup, and they both had satisfied smiles on their faces.
Huo Yan turned to Yue Ning, and her brows knitted. "Sister-in-law, you look pale. Are you sure you can handle this?"
Yue Ning stared at her pointedly. "I'm fine. You are becoming more like your brother."
"We are only worried about you. After this, you need a day's rest. Bed rest to be specific." She placed her hands on her hips.
Yue Ning raised her hands in mock surrender. "I hear you, Ma'am. I will take a good rest after today. Satisfied?"
