Why are you asking this?

"I just want to know how romantic I was before."

Upon hearing this, Su Li almost choked on her food and quickly picked up her drink to take a sip.

Seeing her reaction, Quan Ye became even more curious about his past self.

"Was I really that bad to you before?"

Su Li quickly put down her chopsticks. "No, you've been very good to me."

"Then why aren't we married yet, even though we're about to have a child?"

"You're quite busy, so getting married won't be so quick."

"Now that we're not busy anymore, let's get married."

He's obsessed with getting married and keeps pestering her about it.

Su Li finally expressed her helplessness, saying that she had no plans to get married yet.

On the way back, when they passed the Civil Affairs Bureau, Quan Ye wanted to pull her in to get their marriage certificate, but Su Li held him back tightly.

Tang Yao called at that moment, asking them to come over.

Su Li and Quan Ye went to Old Tang's residence midway through their journey, and they sensed that something was off as soon as they entered.

The old man sat by the chessboard, sighing and looking unwell.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? What happened?" Su Li asked.

Tang Yao, who was standing nearby, stood up and said, "Ever since we came back from the border, Nuan Nuan has been very quiet and has been staying in her room without coming out. We are a little worried about her."

"Then I'll go check on her."

Su Li was about to go upstairs when Tang Yao stopped her.

“Ah Li, I suspect that Nuan Nuan might have been traumatized by being captured by Si Ye last time, which is why she has become like this. So we need to find out what she went through in order to do some ideological work with her.”

"I understand what you mean, I'll go take a look."

Su Li went upstairs, and Quan Ye wanted to follow.

"Mr. Quan, shall we have a cup of tea together?" Tang Yao reached out and blocked Quan Ye's way, indicating that he should not follow.

Quan Ye gave him a cool, indifferent look.

Tang Yao turned his head slightly and gestured, "Since you've come all this way, why don't you play a couple of games of chess with the old man before you leave?"

Quan Ye looked at Old Master Tang, thinking about the marriage he had just mentioned to Su Li.

If he wants to marry Su Li, he must get Old Master Tang's consent.

He turned around, walked over, and sat down. "Grandpa, I'll play chess with you."

Su Li entered the room and saw Tang Nuan sitting alone at the table doing something.

"Tang Yao, why are you here again? I told you I'm not hungry, I'll eat later."

Tang Nuan was wearing an ancient-style long dress, her long hair cascading down her back, and she was sitting with her back to the door.

Su Li approached and realized that she was making hairpins. Her technique was skillful and exquisite, and the hairpins were delicate and beautiful. Several finished ones were also placed on the table.

"This hairpin is really well made. I didn't know you had this skill."

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Nuan immediately put down her things and looked towards the source of the sound. "It's Ali."

Seeing that she was about to get up, Su Li pressed her shoulder down to sit down. "I came to see you. Tang Yao and Grandpa were worried that you might be thinking of doing something rash in your room. I didn't expect you to be making hairpins."

Tang Nuan gently smoothed her hair and said apologetically, "I just use these to pass the time when I'm bored. Although I can't see, I can still use them by touch."

Su Li looked into her beautiful eyes. If only she could see such a pure and innocent girl.

"Tang Yao said you've been locking yourself in your room these past few days. Can you tell me why?"

"It's nothing. I was just too tired the past few days and wanted to be alone for a while."

"The Fourth Field Army didn't give you any trouble before, did they?"

“He had someone scare me; I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat.”

Tang Nuan picked up a few hairpins from the table and handed them to her. "Do you like these? I'll give them all to you. Just don't mind that I made them casually."

"How could that be? They're very beautiful." Su Li accepted all the hairpins.

While watching Tang Nuan take something, Su Li inadvertently discovered a USB flash drive inside the box.

"Whose is this?" she asked curiously, picking it up and looking at it for a few moments.
