Zi Qingyan held back her words, rested her chin on Dou Shiliu's head, and secretly glanced at her. She showed no dislike and her lips curled slightly.

When I arrived at the neighborhood, I ran into the delivery people from Chen'an Delivery. They were carrying the clothes and shoes that Dou Shiliu had bought.

Opening the door, the living room was spotless. The cleaning lady had done a thorough job; even the tabletop looked like a mirror. Dou Shiliu silently made a mental note of this cleaning lady, thinking that he would ask her if she knew how to cook, and if she did, he would have to poach her as a housekeeper.

I watched as the deliveryman brought in a box of shoes and other items, and I directed them to put the clothes in the guest room and the shoes on a pile in the corner of the living room.

They had been moving clothes for a long time and still hadn't finished. Looking at each piece of clothing, even through the dust bags, He Zicheng could see the exquisite craftsmanship and fine details. He couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed in astonishment, "Sister Li, did you buy the entire clothing store?"

Dou Shiliu glanced at him indifferently: "No, but I hope the house can be bigger."

He Zicheng sneered, "I'll have to buy Zi Qingyan a villa again..."

"No need for that..." Zi Qingyan said quietly, "You can just leave things like this..."

Zuo Huiye's house has just the right amount of space and a minimalist layout, which perfectly suits Zi Qingyan's taste, and he doesn't want to move anymore.

Dou Shiliu was taken aback. He looked at Zi Qingyan, who was also looking at her. His beautiful eyes reflected her image. He pursed his lips and asked, "You like it?"

"like"

Dou Shiliu nodded thoughtfully, glancing at He Zicheng: "Come here."

He Zicheng jumped over the package and arrived in front of Dou Shiliu in a few steps.

Dou Shiliu whispered a few words in his ear, and He Zicheng was stunned for a moment before nodding.

However, Zi Qingyan seemed to see a hint of speechlessness flash in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

"Um"

"Then I'll be going, Sister Li."

Dou Shiliu nodded. The deliveryman had just finished and had her sign the form before leaving.

"Take a nap"

Without even asking if she was sleepy, Dou Shiliu took his hand and led him straight back to their room; she was very sleepy.

When Deng Ziqing came to her senses, she had already fallen onto the soft bed. Suddenly, Dou Shiliu wrapped his arms around her waist, and she snuggled into his embrace, her loose hair draped to one side, slightly disheveled.

Zi Qingyan lowered her eyes silently, looking at Dou Shiliu who was getting sleepy. She smoothed her hair, moved her hand to her waist, and hugged her tightly.

A hint of drowsiness crept into his dark, bright eyes, and he slowly closed his eyelids.

…

"My lord, Miss Youyou has stabilized now."

The doctor lowered his voice, afraid of provoking Qi Yan's anger.

He was even more curious: who was so fearless as to dare to touch Xu Youyou?

Qi Yan looked at Xu Youyou lying on the hospital bed. The chilling coldness in his eyes made his subordinates dare not move an inch, for fear of angering the furious master in front of them.

"Investigate thoroughly what the relationship is between that girl and He Zicheng," Qi Yan said coldly, recalling He Zicheng's denial earlier. He knew their initial findings were flawed. "And who's with her?"

That girl was particularly concerned about…

"yes"

His men seemed to come alive, quickly retreating from the frozen battlefield.

Qi Yan's eyes never left Xu Youyou. Once Youyou recovered, he would have to ask her what kind of grudge she had with that girl...

That girl had an extraordinary air about her; recalling the kick she gave him, his men were seriously injured…

Her skills are also extraordinary.

Could she be the daughter of some reclusive family, traveling around?

Impossible. Feng Lizi was born and raised here. Where did she get her skills from?

This is something Qi Yan has never been able to understand...

On the other side.

"Ding...ding...ding-dong...ding-dong..."

Whose phone?

Zi Qingyan frowned slightly, opened her eyes, and immediately saw Dou Shiliu in his arms.

"Ding...ding...ding-dong...ding-dong..."

Another phone rang. Zi Qingyan was so nervous that she wanted to turn it off, but Dou Shiliu was woken up. She glanced at where the phone was and picked it up casually.

"Hello..." came the sleepy, nasal voice...

Dou Shiliu held her phone, half-opening her eyes and half-asleep, looking at the words softly.

"Girl, it's already evening, why aren't we back yet?"

Lin Shu glanced at the clock on the wall while on the phone; it was almost ten o'clock.

Dou Shiliu glanced at the screen slowly before speaking, "Oh, I'll be back in a bit. Lin Ma can go to sleep first."

"Be careful when you come back, girl."

Dou Shiliu lazily replied with an "Mm," and Lin Shu hung up the phone.

Dou Shiliu tossed her phone aside and snuggled into Zi Qingyan's arms, clinging to her like an octopus.

She nuzzled against his chest and heard his slightly rapid heartbeat. Dou Shiliu looked up and met Zi Qingyan's gaze.

She blushed lightly, her ears turning red as well.

"Your heart is beating so fast," Dou Shiliu said, looking into his eyes, which were filled with countless stars that he couldn't look away from.

"Are you nervous?" Dou Shiliu suddenly wrapped his arms around his neck, and their breaths instantly drew closer.

Words are light and casual Σ(°△°|||)︴

Seeing his rosy face and his body stiffening as if at a loss, Dou Shiliu burst out laughing.

"Words are light, so let's talk about our relationship here."

Dou Shiliu felt it was necessary to clarify their relationship, but of course, she wouldn't care if Zi Qingyan rejected her; he was still hers.

Upon hearing this, Zi Qingyan looked at her quietly.

"We will get married in the future. Of course, there's no point in you refusing, because you can't look at anyone else but me."

"...What are you saying..." Zi Qingyan stared intently at her, her lips pressed tightly together. "...I could never be with you..."

She's 13 years old now, and everything she says is impulsive. She has wealth he can't even imagine, and she'll meet many more and better boys. She can abandon him anytime, anywhere.

For Zi Qingyan, Dou Shiliu was like a master; he was merely a caged canary who would be pampered whenever Dou Shiliu pleased…

But once she loses interest, she'll abandon him…

A flicker of dimness crossed Zi Qingyan's eyes.

"If you're not with me, are you going to find another woman?" Dou Shiliu raised her eyebrows. If this cannon fodder leader said another word, she would be a beast of passion!

“No, you’ll meet many more boys,” Zi Qingyan said quietly, looking at the girl lying on top of him. “You’re only infatuated with me for now.”

"Huh?" Dou Shiliu stared wide-eyed like an angry pufferfish, pouting as she said, "I don't want anyone else, I only want you."

Hearing the girl's confession, Zi Qingyan felt a slight tremor in his heart, but he understood that she was only infatuated with him now and would meet a better boy in the future...

He said calmly, "I don't like you. You can go find someone else."

Seeing that the person in front of her still didn't believe her, Dou Shiliu cupped his face and squeezed it hard: "You still don't believe me? That look in your eyes really annoys me!"
