Grandpa Guan glared at her, then gave her another look, and Leng Lie obediently followed behind.
He looked at Guan Yuxi with lingering affection.
Guan Yuxi waved to her with a smile.
It's all thanks to the old man's intervention.
Otherwise, she really wasn't sure if she could resist the temptation of eight-pack abs and a muscular physique.
It's just that his abilities in that area are too amazing.
It left her both somewhat afraid and with a lingering sense of wonder.
Are you really sure you want to marry Xiaoxi and respect and love her for the rest of your life?
Grandpa Guan's expression was three times more serious than usual.
The iron-blooded aura forged amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood also rushed towards us.
Leng Lie felt immense pressure.
A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He tried to steady himself and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Grandpa Guan, don't worry."
I will definitely treat Xiaoxi well. In this life, there will only be death, not separation in life.
Even if she doesn't want me anymore, she will always be my only woman.
Grandpa Guan stared at him for a long time, then pointed to the stool in front of him, gesturing for him to sit down.
Xiaoxi's situation is somewhat complicated.
Now that you've chosen her, you must always support her decisions...
After leaving the Guan family's residence, Leng Lie looked at the bright moonlight.
It's quite suitable for walking at night.
"Why haven't you come for so long? Where are my money and tickets?"
The picky woman yawned, impatiently curled her hands, and stuck out half of her tattered coat sleeve.
Leng Lie choked up for a moment, then said coldly, "I came to tell you something."
I'm getting married, so I won't have any extra money or tickets for you anymore.
The woman's expression shifted from indifference to surprise, then to anger. "You're abandoning us? What are we, the three of us, supposed to do?"
Her eyes reddened. "Your stepfather... he doesn't care about the life or death of me and your younger siblings at all."
I know that we have been a burden to you all these years.
But you neglect your own mother and siblings to support another woman. Does that make any sense?
Other parents all hope that their children will get married.
His mother was the only exception.
Leng Lie's heart grew even colder.
The money and tickets he had intended to give her, he put back in his pocket.
“I told you, you can take Leng Can and Huanhuan back with you.”
The woman immediately became agitated and yelled at him, "Go back? Are you just used to wearing that hat on your head?"
They want us to go back and be criticized too? Aren't my injuries bad enough?
She rolled up her sleeve to show him her arm, which was covered in scars.
His cold gaze passed over her and landed on the bare pear tree.
Winter has passed, and it has sprouted several tender green leaves, swaying gracefully in the cold wind.
"Things are different now; those things won't happen again."
He looked at her and said earnestly.
The woman scoffed coldly and laughed maniacally, "You say you won't, so you won't?"
He doesn't even live like a human being, yet he wants to get married.
Heh, I'd like to see what she's after from you...
Leng Lie didn't want to listen to her rambling anymore, so he simply turned around and left.
He felt that he shouldn't have come here!
"Brother, wait a minute."
A teenager, barely out of his teens, crept out from behind the fence.
Leng Lie was pulled behind the wall by him.
"Brother, I heard what you said to Mom."
So I'm going to have a sister-in-law soon, right?
Leng Lie ruffled his hair. "You've grown taller again."
Leng Lan grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "Brother, my sister-in-law must be very beautiful, right?"
Can I attend your wedding?
Seeing that Leng Lie remained silent, he lowered his gaze and smiled as he pulled a handful of crumpled cent and dim sum bills from his pocket.
"I was just joking, don't take it to heart. Mom definitely won't let me go."
I've saved five yuan; could you help me buy a gift for my sister-in-law?
Leng Lie carefully sorted out the money, bill by bill, and returned it to him.
I appreciate your kind gesture, and I'll help you deliver the gift. You can keep the money for yourself.
Leng Can refused and insisted on stuffing the money into his pocket.
Leng Lie had no choice but to accept it.
Then, when he wasn't looking, she slipped ten one-yuan bills into his pocket.
"I'll bring your sister-in-law to visit you then."
"Really?"
Leng Can's eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly grabbed Leng Lie's sleeve tightly.
"Um."
"Brother, you're so kind. Your wife must be a very good and beautiful woman."
I wish you a long and happy life together, and many children—no, many nieces and nephews for me, hehe.
Leng Can smiled so wide that his eyes disappeared from his grin.
Leng Lie was also affected by his emotions, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
"I will take good care of Mom and Huanhuan, so you don't need to worry."
He's been gambling well lately; not only has he stopped hitting us, he's even bringing money home. Don't listen to Mom's nonsense.
Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Leng Can quickly pushed Leng Lie away.
Leng Lie wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
He waved goodbye, bathed in the moonlight and carried by the dew, and embarked on his journey home.
***
"Xiao Xi, something's happened to Leng Lie!"
Bai Qin rushed over, grabbed Guan Yuxi's hand, and ran.
Guan Yuxi's heart tightened slightly, and she shook off her, saying, "How did you know what happened to him?"
"What time is it? You still have the leisure to keep asking me questions?"
Bai Qin hurriedly went to pull her again.
The more anxious she became, the calmer Guan Yuxi grew. "I don't even know what happened. Wouldn't going there just cause more trouble?"
More importantly, she suspected that Bai Qin had set another trap for her.
Bai Qin stomped her foot, looking furious, "Leng Lie almost beat Leng Hongxing to death..."
