Chapter 654 The Women of the Yuezheng Family

"This means you are destined to be a woman of our family."

The child stared intently at her fingertips, his eyes filled with undisguised delight. "This ring can only be worn by the destined mistress of our family, and once it's on, it can't be taken off."

He held Su Youling's large hand, looked up and said earnestly, "It's all destined. Come back with me."

Su Youling was so shocked she didn't know what to say: "Little boy, you're only a few years old... never mind, do you know how to get back? I'll find someone to take you back, and I'll find a way to return this ring to your family."

The child shook his head, shut his mouth, and stopped talking.

Not feeling comfortable leaving him alone, and unable to get any information from his family, Su Youling looked around and, seeing that it looked like it was going to rain, had no choice but to take him home first.

I saw Li Tingxi hurrying out, holding an umbrella in his hand.

"Su Su?" Li Tingxi quickly came over and apologized, "The children were tired from playing, so I brought them back. I was just on my way to pick you up... Where did this child come from?"

He looked at the child Su Youling was holding, his expression one of surprise.

What a beautiful child.

“He was found. He won’t say where his family is…” Su Youling glanced at the awkward child, walked over and whispered, “Have someone check. Everyone living around here is either rich or powerful. This child probably ran away from home after a fight with his family.”

"Okay." Li Tingxi's gaze fell on Su Youling's hand; the diamond ring was simply too dazzling to ignore. "Where did this come from?"

The placement of this ring is so unusual that it's hard not to overthink it.

His face immediately darkened: "I've only been gone for less than ten minutes. Who did you run into? What kind of wild man would dare to flirt with you?"

He was making it clear he was about to settle scores with someone.

Su Youling rolled her eyes at him: "Stop being so petty, don't make things worse..."

Before the explanation could be finished, a child's righteous voice came from below, "This is the crest of our Yuezheng family. Only the destined mistress of the Yuezheng family can wear it. This ring has magic, so she is the person I am looking for."

The little guy looked up at Li Tingxi, his eyes filled with hostility: "Who are you? What's your relationship with my woman?"

Li Tingxi's face darkened. He wouldn't become more lenient just because the other party was a child; on the contrary, his alarm bells rang even higher.

He hadn't even had a chance to win his wife back, and now his rivals had increased from adult men to all men? Even these tiny little kids were trying to steal his wife?

"You brat, you're not welcome here. Go back to where you came from." He turned hostile and ordered his men to send the child away. For some reason, he disliked the child from the first moment he saw him.

"Pfft!" Su Youling almost burst out laughing, picked up the child and pinched him, "Who's your woman? Little guy, you haven't even grown your hair yet and you're already trying to flirt with girls, that's not fashionable."

The child reluctantly pried her hand away and said seriously, "I'm not a child, I have a name—Le Qing. Please call me by my name as a sign of respect."

"Aren't you from the Yuezheng family? Why aren't you called Yuezheng Qing?" Su Youling knew that the surname 'Yuezheng' was very ancient, dating back to the Zhou Dynasty, and was named after the position of Yuezheng, the official in charge of music and rites.

However, as history progresses, very...

“Our family immigrated to Europe a long time ago. Although the family genealogy records Yue Zheng, the name on the ID card has to be in line with the civilization of this era.” Yue Qing raised her little head to look at Su Youling, then glanced at Li Tingxi, “He is not suitable for you.”

"Little brat, do you think I won't beat you up?" Li Tingxi picked up the arrogant and rude brat and turned to hand him over to the bodyguard.

Suddenly, Le Qing bit his wrist hard, as fierce as a little wolf.

"You brat!" Li Tingxi's face turned ashen, and he instinctively tried to let go, but Su Youling quickly stopped him, "No! He's just a child..."

Su Youling gave Li Tingxi a reassuring look, then quickly took the child into the house. "If you don't want to go home, then rest here for a while. I'll contact your family. As for what you just said, children shouldn't say things like that."

She had inexplicable patience with this child; perhaps seeing him was like seeing her own three children, and her maternal instincts were triggered.

Le Qing coldly looked at the man striding in and continued, "He's not right for you. This man is a vicious wolf; he'll bite you."

"You!" Li Tingxi was furious that a complete stranger was targeting him like this, and his face turned ugly. But he really couldn't do anything about the child.

Where did this kid come from?

Why does he always have a bad feeling?

What should have been a fun family trip to strengthen family bonds turned into a nightmare with such a huge bug right from the start. It's incredibly frustrating.

"He's not right for me, and you're even less right for me." Su Youling said irritably as she carried the child back to the room. "You're just a child; you don't understand adult matters. Even if this ring is for the lady of your family, you're not even of legal marriage age yet. How can you expect me to be the lady of the house?"

Le Qing's face went blank for a moment, as if she hadn't thought that far ahead at all: "Does it have to be the legal marriage age? We can make a contract first, and I'll marry you when I grow up."

Li Tingxi heard this as he walked to the door. He didn't know whether to laugh at him for being so foolish or at himself for being so stupid as to doubt such a young child.

He doesn't even understand basic social rules; he's probably just a runaway kid.

"I was so old I was about to retire by then." Hearing this, Su Youling saw his bewildered and adorable little expression and couldn't bear to scold him anymore.

"Okay, you rest for a while. I'll go get you some fruit. If there's anything else you'd like to eat, just let me know."

"Wait a minute." Le Qing jumped off the bed, ran a few steps to Su Youling and stopped her. After hesitating for a while, she said, "If you really think I'm too young and don't want to wait for me, then you can marry my dad. He's still an old bachelor and no one wants him."

"I originally thought I was the charming man everyone loved, and I had a greater competitive advantage than him, but age is indeed an unchangeable reality." He was about to give Su Youling a good pitch for his good-for-nothing father when suddenly someone grabbed him by the neck.

"Little brat, you really deserve a beating, daring to come to my door and try to steal my boyfriend." Li Tingxi pulled the little guy out with a dark face, looking like he was about to teach him a lesson, which frightened the servants who wanted to say something but stopped themselves.
