Qin Zhiluo lazily opened her eyes, looked at the handsome man in front of her, and couldn't help but tease him a bit.

Long Yanli grabbed her hand and took a deep breath, "You're provoking me so early in the morning. Didn't you serve me well yesterday?"

Qin Zhilu kissed his nose, "Are you still angry?"

Long Yanli's thin lips pressed into a straight line, and the corners of his mouth turned down slightly. "Angry."

Qin Zhiluo leaned against him, "Brother, I was afraid that if I didn't go with him, he would kill me."

Long Yanli stared straight at her. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Qin Zhi placed her hand on his chest. "Brother, Zi Ye won't kill me, but he wants to kill you. I don't want you to get hurt."

Long Yanli unconsciously clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, his chest rising and falling slightly. "Baby, I don't want you to be in any danger either. Don't leave my side."

...

...

Qin Zhiluo has been staying in the pear garden these past few days, not venturing out of the main gate or stepping outside.

Wenjing and Taoxi go shopping every day and buy Qin Zhiluo a bunch of delicious and fun things.

"I'm so bored!" Qin Zhiluo lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with a look of utter despair.

Lu Ze looked at her and said, "Then come and help me with the work."

Guandu nodded in agreement, "I have work to do too."

Bo Tingxuan coughed. "Add one."

Hua Dongxia put down his computer and said, "I'll be bald in a few years."

All eyes were on Qin Zhiluo.

Qin Zhilu walked to Wenjing's side expressionlessly. "These egg tarts are pretty good. Let me try some."

Wenjing nodded proudly, "Of course, I studied with Taoxi for several days."

Fu Yiming smiled gently, his eyes softening. "It's delicious."

Long Yanli's thin lips curved slightly, a faint smile spreading across his face. "I'm going to Kui City tomorrow. Shall we go for fun?"

Qin Zhilu thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Lu Ze coughed. "I'll go too."

Hua Dongxia immediately chimed in, "Count me in."

Lu Ze stared at him intently, "Are you a tagalong?"

Hua Dongxia smiled and said, "Mm."

Lu Ze cursed under his breath, "Damn it, I'm straight!"

Bo Tingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly stood up, walked to Qin Zhiluo's side, and patted her head. "Tao Xi and I are going back this afternoon. Remember to go back and visit when you have time. They all miss you."

Qin Zhilu smiled and said, "Okay."

Long Yanli looked at him with deep eyes, and with some displeasure, pulled Qin Zhiluo's hand, "Have a safe journey."

Bo Tingxuan smiled and said, "I will come again."

afternoon

Long Yanli took Qin Zhiluo back to the Long family.

Before they even entered, the cheerful laughter and chatter from the hall reached their ears. Long Yanli paused, took the little girl's hand, and walked inside.

A beautifully dressed woman was sitting on the sofa in the hall, chatting happily with Old Mrs. Long. The woman smiled sweetly, occasionally covering her mouth to giggle, while Old Mrs. Long's face was full of smiles, and the atmosphere seemed exceptionally harmonious.

Qin Zhiluo thought she looked familiar, but couldn't remember who she was.

Long Yunze noticed the two of them immediately, "Big brother, sister-in-law."

Grandma Long immediately beamed with joy, stood up, and took Qin Zhiluo's hand, saying, "Luoluo, it's been so long since you've come to see Grandma."

Qin Zhiluo immediately helped her up and smiled, "Grandma, I specially made apple pastries to apologize."

Grandma Long liked it very much and immediately took it.

Long Yanli couldn't help but speak up, "Grandma, I'm here too."

Grandma Long ate her apple pastry and glanced at him casually. "What are you doing here?"
