She cares about me!

Qi Yuan's eyes were bright, and his heart was pounding in his small chest.

"It's alright, it's just that the weather has been a bit chilly lately." Qi Yuan smiled and tentatively asked, "May I call you Wanwan?"

"Can."

Lin Wanyue didn't care about that; she was only wondering how those ghosts had arrived so quickly.

Although the female ghosts that clung to Qi Yuan this time weren't covered in crimson and green like before, they were still mostly female ghosts.

Is it so that I can be his stepmother?

They should be entangled with Qi Sichen instead...

Qi Sichen watched the conversation between the two children from the side, his eyes fixed on Qi Yuan.

The boy seemed to feel like he'd known the girl for ages!

She looks like a hopelessly incurable love-struck fool...

There were quite a few pretty and cute palace maids in the palace, as well as young ladies from various families who were often summoned to the palace by him, and whose ages were about the same as Qi Yuan's.

But why is this guy so nice to this little girl?

Although he also thought that Lin Wanyue was quite pleasing to the eye.

"Wanwan, what do you like to eat? My uncle bought me a lot. I'll give you all the things you like, okay?" Qi Yuan said expectantly.

With many matters to attend to in the palace and the government, Qi Sichen and the others could not stay in Jiangnan for long. Originally, they planned to return to the capital as soon as Qi Yuan's health had improved.

And pitying him, he was in a daze from illness the whole way here and had no interest in sightseeing. Now that he is finally well, she naturally wants to take him to experience the local customs and taste the flavors that he can't get in the palace.

"I quite like them all." Lin Wanyue replied somewhat perfunctorily, focused on thinking about the female ghosts above Qi Yuan's head.

But while Lin Weiming was busy with his business, he kept glancing over in this direction with a cool look in his eyes.

As the boy got closer and closer to his daughter, almost whispering in her ear, she watched as he approached.

"Cough cough!" Lin Weiming gritted his teeth and shouted, "How many portions are there in total!"

"..." The person in line couldn't help but cover their ears and frowned, saying, "Boss, I'm not deaf yet. Your voice is too loud. One serving is enough for me."

I don't know what's wrong with this boss, why is he so angry today?

"Oh." Lin Weiming didn't look at him; his gaze was fixed on Lin Wanyue.

They've practically seen right through Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan and Qi Sichen also noticed the commotion on Lin Weiming's side and looked over, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Qi Sichen smiled reassuringly at Qi Yuan and then walked over to Lin Weiming.

After all, he had made a lot of money from him before, so Lin Weiming was still somewhat polite to him, and said with a smile, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's nothing, there are many of us, we'll take care of everything," Qi Sichen said kindly. "We just wanted Wanwan to keep our young master company."

"That won't do!" Lin Weiming refused without even thinking.

The other customers in line saw that this man was dressed smartly and looked refined, and they knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.

They were a little apprehensive, but now that they heard Lin Weiming's decisive refusal, and considering that they were under Lord Liang's rule, even the young masters of wealthy families would never dare to act recklessly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" They suddenly felt emboldened and shouted back, "If you buy it all by yourself, what are we going to eat?"

Lin Weiming nodded, thinking that was a good reason.

Although in his heart he just didn't want his daughter to go with some young master!

But you can refuse if you want.

Qi Sichen didn't insist. He simply waved his hand, and someone brought over another purse full of silver. "Then all we need to do is let Wanwan play with our young master for a while. What do you think?"

"That won't do! I can raise my daughter myself. Why would she go play with other people for no reason? Go find someone else. Anyway, you have plenty of money, so someone will definitely be willing. My daughter is absolutely not an option. Can't you see that Wanwan is still busy?" Lin Weiming glared at him, refusing to back down no matter what.

Qi Sichen: "..."

Headache.

The guards following him immediately came over, brandishing their swords in front of Qi Sichen. The meaning was clear: anyone who dared to refuse their young master had been too arrogant and had been living with their heads in vain.

Qi Sichen gave him a single glance, and the man immediately retreated.

Since we can't reason with this person, we might as well go find Lin Wanyue.

That girl's love for money was quite open and honest.

Qi Sichen walked up to Lin Wanyue and Qi Yuan, and said to her with a smile, "My young master originally wanted to go boating on Narcissus Lake. Would you like to go with my young master? If you would, all this money is yours."

"Hmm..." Lin Wanyue's gaze shifted from the silver to Qi Yuan's head and said, "I think you guys should avoid going to places like the lake for now. The more places like that are, the more people die. If you don't want him to be tainted by dozens more ghosts, you should avoid them."

Upon hearing this, Qi Sichen raised an eyebrow in confusion: "But didn't you say last night that you had already exorcised all the ghosts?"

"Uncle, don't speak so loudly, what if you scare her?" Qi Yuan, clearly biased towards outsiders, waved his hand at Lin Wanyue and said, "Don't be afraid, my uncle just looks fierce."

Lin Wanyue wasn't afraid of him.
