Chapter 893 Baby, Let’s Get Married
The little girl spoke with a smile in her tone, but Xi Jiu couldn't laugh at all.
He had never been so grateful to someone as he was at that moment.
He was grateful to Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan, and to Nie Beilou. If it weren't for them, Ruan Qi might not have been born safely, and he wouldn't have met her.
Xi Jiu couldn't imagine a world without Ruan Qi.
Maybe it's a kind of emptiness and coldness like a walking corpse.
Xi Jiu closed his eyes, feeling a surge of fear. He hugged the little girl tightly in his arms, placing gentle kisses on her head.
Ruan Qi felt the man's affection and care. She pinched his arm soothingly and continued to talk about the past nineteen years.
"After being taken in by my grandparents, Dad spent three months in Qingyun Village before he could barely get out of bed. During those three months, those with the fire totem never gave up searching for us, and even nearly found our way to Qingyun Village once. Later, to eliminate any further trouble, Master erased all traces of our family and fabricated a false story about Dad falling into the river and dying."
"After those people heard the news of Dad's death, they never appeared near Qingyun Village again. My family also settled down."
"Later, when Dad recovered from his injuries, he recognized my grandparents as his biological parents. From then on, my brother and I changed our surnames to Ruan."
Ruan Qi felt a little thirsty after talking about this. She sat up from the man's arms and reached out to take the water cup on the bedside table.
Xi Jiu immediately held her little hand, raised his arm to take the cup of water and brought it to her mouth.
Ruan Qi bit the straw and gulped down half a cup. He burped contentedly and continued, "Although Master fabricated information about Dad's death, those people must have always been suspicious. Although they evacuated Qingyun Village, they have been secretly investigating Dad's whereabouts for years. However, Master's fabrication skills are very high, and they have never been able to find out."
Hearing this, Xi Jiu keenly realized that something seemed wrong.
He carefully recalled what the little girl said, and a hint of doubt flashed across his cold eyes.
What was Mr. Ruan’s identity before?
Why did those people with the fire totem not let him go after tracking him down for twenty years?
Xi Jiu was confused when Ruan Qi's voice sounded in his ears again.
"Mom and Dad have been hiding their identities for nearly twenty years, investigating the extent of those people's power. If our family wants to return to the imperial capital openly, we must eliminate them. The reason we're looking for Alfat is because Simon told me a few days ago that Alfat's brother was killed by those people."
Xi Jiu: "So, you want to cooperate with him?"
"Yes. The Alfate family's influence abroad cannot be underestimated. They are a great helper."
Xi Jiu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Okay." He rubbed the top of the little girl's head. "Baby, do whatever you want. With me here, no one can hurt my parents-in-law."
Ruan Xiaoqi, who was concentrating on thinking about how to kill someone just now, turned red all over when he heard the words "father-in-law and mother-in-law".
She held up the steaming little head, and her tongue began to get tangled. "Jiujiu, you, you you..."
"Hmm?" Xi Jiu lowered his head and leaned in front of her, his thin lips curled slightly, and he chuckled softly, "Baby, what's wrong with me?"
The man's low laughter was extremely sexy, and the hormones that came to her face almost overwhelmed Ruan Qi.
The little girl was so embarrassed that her peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with spring water.
She bit her pink lips lightly, her face flushed as she held it in for a long time before stammering, "We're not married yet, so we can't call each other father-in-law and mother-in-law."
When Xi Jiu heard this, his handsome eyebrows raised coldly.
He stretched out his long arms, forcefully hugged the little girl into his arms, lowered his head and pecked her pink lips hard.
"Then baby, let's get married."

Author's words - I don't know what to say. I've been feeling quite depressed these days. Let me just say thank you, thank you for listening to me. I'm really not in the mood to write recently. I've been looking for a doctor every day. Thanks to the developed network, I can contact experts in Beijing and Shanghai. I've spent a lot of money these days. Several doctors diagnosed that my mother is in the early stages of lung cancer. It's an indolent cancer and can be cured after resection. This is the best news for me. There will be another doctor tomorrow, and I'm going to take my mother to the hospital. I may have been too depressed these days. My chest hurts, I can't breathe, but I dare not cry to my parents. Author's words is my only way to vent. Thank you, thank you so much.
