Pingting was completely stunned. Go to the Li family... to take care of Xi'er?
Will Li Zihui let her join the family?
She felt this was a bit too dreamlike, "Please don't joke with me, young lady."
Su Qian said very seriously, "I remember Li Xi isn't your child, is he? You've raised him all these years, which shows you have a kind heart."
Now, I intend to bring you and Li Zi together.
I'll just ask if you're willing. If you are, simply say it's my arrangement; if you're not, I won't mention it again.
Pingting was somewhat lost in thought. Was she willing?
She definitely has feelings for Li Zai, but what about him?
Pingting recalled his resolute attitude that day, and her heart turned cold instantly. She shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "If he is unwilling, how can I be willing?"
Although I am a slave, I still have my own dignity.
Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but let's leave it at that for now.
"Who told you I didn't want to?" A deep male voice came from behind.
Pingting turned around and saw Li Zai. "What are you doing here?"
Did he listen to everything they said before?
Li Zai bowed to Su Qian with clasped hands before looking at Pingting and said, "That day, I saw Xi'er being bullied by the servants and beaten to a pulp. When I heard you say you wanted to leave, I got angry and said those resolute words."
But you've always been in my heart.
Graceful.
Pingting looked at him, unsure of what to say.
If he has her in his heart, should she throw herself into his arms?
Pingting hesitated. She had always treated Xi'er as her own flesh and blood, but Li Zai had once doubted her.
How could she not feel heartbroken?
She sighed and said, "Please don't force me. Let me think about it."
This means neither refusing nor agreeing.
Su Qian didn't try to persuade her anymore, only saying lazily, "You have to figure out your own life. No one can live it for you, and no one will lose their appetite because of your sadness, understand?"
Pingting was surprised by Su Qian's sharp tongue and whispered that she understood. She then looked at Li Zai and asked, "I heard you were going to Linhai City. Why did you bring Xi'er with you?"
How old is he?
Her tone carried a hint of complaint, but also a deep concern and worry.
Seeing her like this, Li Zai couldn't help but chuckle, "Xi'er is very smart and also has superpowers, so it's alright."
Seeing Pingting staring at him without saying a word, he continued, "Xi'er will grow up eventually. It's good that everyone is protecting her now."
"If he grows up, who will still be willing to protect him?"
He knew that Shang Tian would not keep useless people, and he did not want his son to be too mediocre.
Pingting took a deep breath and said stiffly, "I understand."
She understood the saying, "A doting mother often spoils her son."
"I only hope that Xi'er is safe."
Li Zai smiled and said, "Yes."
Seeing that they were about to start showing affection, Su Qian coughed twice. When they looked at her, she asked, "Li Zai, what are you doing back here?"
I guess Shangtian is short-staffed right now, isn't he?
Li Zai scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "The young master told me to come back and listen to the young lady's instructions."
Su Qian yawned lazily and asked, "What are they doing?"
Li Zai hesitated for a moment before saying, "My son-in-law told me not to say."
"Oh." Su Qian felt she still didn't want to be fed dog food, so she said to the two of them, "In that case, you two go and count the number of people in the village and count the grain reserves."
"Yes." Li Zai left with Pingting, and Su Qian yawned, just about to go to sleep, when she heard Mosquito shout, "Something bad has happened!"
