"Miss Li, I am not joking. I know you may find it hard to believe it for a moment, and you may think I am being rude, but every word I said to you today is from the bottom of my heart. I want to marry you, not as a concubine, but as my wife."
Xiao Yihao lowered his eyes and looked into Li Xia's eyes with a firm look.
Seeing Xiao Yihe being so serious, Li Xia bit her lip and lowered her eyes to stare at the candied fruit in her hand.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so greedy. Now I’m in a dilemma whether to eat or not.
She blinked and swallowed, "Master Xiao, first of all, thank you very much for your favor. I know that you did this to protect me from rumors, but I have no plans to get married. In my life, I just want to be a wandering doctor. I don't want to be a lady of a noble family and be trapped in the world." Li Xia licked her lips, she looked up at Xiao Yihan, opened her lips, and rejected him.
She has always been like this. Since she can't give people hope, she has to make things clear.
Gratitude is gratitude, and feelings are feelings.
She really had no special feelings for Xiao Yihe, and Li Xia didn't want to trample on his sincerity.
When Xiao Yihe heard Li Xia's rejection, his eyes were sad, but he still opened his mouth and said without giving up: "Miss Li, do you dislike me, or do you dislike my identity?" He stared into her eyes.
"Mr. Xiao is an open-minded person, his family is loyal, he has a warm heart, and he is also very romantic. There must be many girls who are attracted to him, and he will definitely meet someone who loves him one day."
Li Xia did not directly answer Xiao Yi's question. She adopted an extremely official response.
He felt that what he wanted to express was very clear, and advised him not to hang himself on her tree.
But if Xiao Yihe didn't listen, there was nothing she could do.
Li Xia fluttered her long eyelashes, she lowered her eyelids and did not look at Xiao Yixi.
But even if she avoided his eyes, Li Xia could still feel his burning gaze.
She found this strange atmosphere too tormenting.
"Miss Li, even if you reject me today, I will not give up." Xiao Yi stood in front of Li Xia, stared at her for a long time, then opened his mouth and said, "Miss, please have a good rest. I will leave first."
As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.
As long as he persists and does not give up, he can grind an iron rod into a needle. He doesn't believe that her heart is really so hard.
Even if she is a stone, I am determined to warm her up.
Li Xia was worrying about how to respond to Xiao Yihe, but when she heard that he was leaving, she immediately raised her eyes, looked up at him, and nodded continuously like a chick pecking at rice.
"Okay, then I won't see you off, sir." She blinked and said with a forced smile.
She had made her words so clearly, but instead of backing down, Xiao Yihe showed an attitude of becoming more courageous as he faced more setbacks, which confused her.
Li Xia really had no idea how to deal with President Qiang.
"Yousheng, go over and help your sister close the door."
As soon as Xiao Yihe left Li Xia's room, she ordered Li Yousheng to close the door tightly, fearing that Xiao Yihe would go halfway and then turn back.
When Li Yousheng heard Li Xia's instructions, he nodded obediently, "Okay, sister, Yousheng will go turn it off right away." He raised his hand and gestured.
"Sister, I don't like him." Li Yousheng closed the door. He walked in front of Li Xia, pouted his lips, and raised his hand to gesture.
He dislikes anyone who wants to snatch his sister from him.
"who?"
Li Xia didn't react and she blinked in confusion.
Li Yousheng had a stern face and raised his hand to accuse in sign language: "It's the guy named Xiao who just walked out of here."
Thinking back to how Xiao Yihe had treated him like air the entire time, his dislike for him deepened.
"Why?" Li Xia raised her eyes, looked at the little guy, and asked in confusion: "When did Master Xiao offend our little Yousheng?"
Xiao Yousheng rarely says such things so bluntly.
Li Xia mistakenly thought that there was a misunderstanding between them.
Li Yousheng pursed his lips, looked at Li Xia and shook his head.
"Then why don't you like Mr. Xiao?"
Li Xia was a little confused.
Since there was no misunderstanding between the little guy and him, he would not say that he didn't like him for no reason.
"He wants to steal my sister. I don't like him." Li Yousheng lowered his head, but his hands did not stop moving. "I hate anyone who wants to steal my sister."
Seeing Li Yousheng acting like a little adult, Li Xia curled her lips and said jokingly, "What if the baby in my sister's belly is born and he wants to snatch my sister away, what should little Yousheng do?"
She was a little curious about how the little guy would answer her question.
"That's different." Li Yousheng shook his head, raised his hands in the air and gestured: "The fetus in my sister's belly is also my relative. I want to grow up quickly and protect him well."
The little guy said seriously.
When Li Xia heard what Li Yousheng said, she shook her head in a helpless manner, "Xiao Yousheng, it's a good thing that Master Xiao left, otherwise he would definitely think you are hypocritical."
"Yousheng, come here. I have something to tell you." Li Xia waved at Li Yousheng, "Come and sit next to me."
She patted the edge of the bed.
Li Xia thought about what Xiao Yihao said when he left just now.
Originally, she planned to stay in Yicheng for a few days, but now it seems that she should make plans early.
Li Yousheng obediently came to Li Xia's side. He blinked, raised his hand and asked in sign language: "Sister, what do you want to tell me?"
He stared into Li Xia's eyes and asked.
"Yousheng, the epidemic among the people in the city is almost under control now. I want to give them one last dose of medicine in the next two days. I plan to leave this place. You should pack up your things in the next two days and see if there is anything you need. I will go to the street and bring it back to you." Li Xia blinked and spoke with her lips open.
"Yousheng always listens to his sister."
Li Yousheng opened his lips and said.
The world is so big, but wherever my sister is, that’s home.
He follows his sister wherever she goes.
Two days later.
"Sister, why do we have to sneak away in the middle of the night?"
Li Xia took advantage of the darkness of the night, took Li Yousheng's hand, and walked stealthily towards the back door of the inn.
Li Yousheng asked them to tiptoe like thieves. He bit his lip, frowned and asked in confusion.
Li Xia explained in a low voice: "Yousheng, if we leave in broad daylight, won't Mr. Xiao know that we are leaving? I don't want to deal with him. If we leave in the middle of the night, they won't know in their sleep, and I won't have to rack my brains to explain to him."
