Song Xiwei said with utmost seriousness, "We have lived a very peaceful and fulfilling life these past few days. Looking back, it should be a very good memory. However, one must look forward. If that mother and child are a link in fate's chain that is meant to push us forward, there is no use in running away. So, let's face it together. If there are problems, we will solve them; if there are difficulties, we will face them head-on. In short, I will be with you."
Aoqian frowned, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something when an arrogant voice came from not far away, "Young Master Song, please wait."
The word "Young Master Song" sent a chill down Aoqian's spine once again.
Song Xiwei stepped forward and blocked Aoqian, calmly watching the mother and son walk towards her.
"There are some things I'd like to discuss with Young Master Song privately. Would it be possible to speak to him in private?" The woman's words were barely out of her mouth when she was not met by Song Xiwei's voice, but by Ao Qian's voice, colder than the biting chill of the weather: "He's not available!"
A fleeting look of surprise crossed the woman's dignified and wealthy face. Then, she looked at Song Xiwei, who was clearly protecting Aoqian behind her, but still couldn't block Aoqian's head, which was much taller than hers.
At this moment, Ao Qian was staring at her with the same look he had used to kill her entire family.
Even though the woman was well-traveled and knowledgeable, she was still stunned by the scene.
It was the young man Meng Shu who broke the silence, "Valley Master, who is this gentleman?"
Meng Shu's voice sounded relatively gentle and polite, but it clearly indicated that he was standing up for his mother.
The criticism was directed at Ao Qian.
Although Song Xiwei did not turn around, judging from the woman's frightened expression, she knew that Ao Qian behind her must have a very sharp look on his face.
“He is my master.” Song Xi blinked. Her beautiful face was so gentle when she spoke of Ao Qian as her master that even she herself didn’t realize it. Her voice was incredibly gentle, completely different from the tone she had used when she spoke in the reception room earlier.
Both mother and son were stunned.
When Ao Qian, who was standing behind Song Xiwei, heard Song Xiwei introduce herself like this, the cold expression on his face finally disappeared and was replaced by a smug smile.
"My subordinates and I are busy. If you two have something to say, please say it to my face. If not, please leave." His tone wasn't much better than before, but after saying this, Aoqian very smugly put his hand on Song Xiwei's shoulder.
Song Xiwei seemed to have gotten used to this all along and didn't struggle at all.
The mother and son looked at each other for a long time before saying, "We were very rude just now. Since you are the Valley Master's master, there is no need for us to avoid you."
Aoqian did not react to the other party's change of address.
Song Xiwei felt that was enough, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to get some information out of him, so she said, "It's not convenient to talk here, please come with me."
Instead of leading them to Song Xiwei's room, they chose the tea room.
Inside were various exquisite snacks; it was Song Xiwei and Aoqian's usual little residence where they played chess, painted, and drank tea.
Xiao Zhuang and Ruoliao would occasionally come here to kill time and relieve boredom; it wasn't exactly a private place.
After closing the door, the two of them completely changed their previous aloof demeanor.
They knelt before Song Xiwei, one in front and one behind.
"Valley Master, please, you must help us..."
Song Xiwei was a little confused by the sudden commotion.
However, she's not someone who hasn't seen big events, so she can handle this little accident.
He spoke calmly, "You two, please speak slowly. If there's anything I can do to help, I certainly won't refuse."
