"I won't like anyone else." Li Bingchen lowered his head, his voice still a little choked, but his tone was firm and resolute.
"Uh...hehe..." Yun Duo chuckled dryly, still unable to respond to this.
After a while, Li Bingchen asked Yun Duo again, "When we grow up, will you be willing to marry me?"
Li Bingchen's voice still sounded choked with emotion, and he spoke cautiously, as if his heart was pounding when he said those words. Yun Duo felt a pang of sadness and pity for him.
Yun Duo thought about it seriously for a moment, and then coaxed Li Bingchen, saying, "Hmm... if we grow up and you still like me, and I like you too, then I'll marry you."
It wasn't a definite answer, but Yun Duo couldn't just lie to Li Bingchen because he was young and make some solemn promises. What if he took it seriously?
So, we still have to tell the truth.
As for what will happen when we grow up... let's just let nature take its course.
Although he only received a vague answer, Li Bingchen's heart suddenly calmed down. He felt deeply ashamed that he had actually cried in front of Yun Duo, so much so that he was still squatting on the ground with his head still buried.
Seeing that Li Bingchen had calmed down and stopped crying, Yunduo breathed a huge sigh of relief. She thought that if her grandparents saw Li Bingchen's red eyes later, they might ask him something, and if that led Li Bingchen to reveal what had happened, it could cause some trouble.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Duo said to Li Bingchen, "Don't squat down. Your legs will go numb and you won't be able to stand up. Get up and walk around slowly, then sit for a while. I'll go get you a basin of water to wash your face. Washing your face will make you feel better." She couldn't say she was afraid her grandparents would notice anything; this pretty child's 'heart' was definitely still fragile, and she dared not upset him further, lest he cry again…
Who could withstand that?
Li Bingchen naturally had no idea what Yun Duo was thinking, so when he heard the concern in Yun Duo's words, Li Bingchen felt very happy.
Actually, the clouds still care about themselves.
However… well, just like she said, they are still young. And when Yun Duo was little, she was almost sold to a mentally challenged man by her adoptive parents to be a child bride, so she must be terrified.
Thinking about it this way, Li Bingchen no longer felt wronged, but he was also very angry. He wished he could go back to that time and teach those two hateful couples a lesson again, make them pay a heavy price for what they did, make them live in pain, regret, and fear for the rest of their lives, and make them wish they were dead.
But then he thought again, if that were the case, Grandpa and Grandma Yun would definitely be sad. He remembered Yun Duo telling him before that Grandpa and Grandma Yun actually missed Lu Family Village very much, and would occasionally mention it.
Moreover, he had also been told that because he was afraid of upsetting his grandparents, he had stopped his father, the diplomat Gu, from taking revenge on that vicious couple.
Yun Duo cares a lot about Grandpa and Grandma Yun, and they are indeed very kind to her.
Forget it, let those vicious people go. But he should treat Yun Duo better in the future, and not let anyone bully her or make her suffer.
