"Hanhan, have you been very busy lately?" Leng Fengmei looked at her eldest daughter with a smile.
"I'm not busy, I have time to spend with you!" she said, hugging her mother's neck. "Mom, what brings you here?"
“I missed you, so I came to see you! I transferred Li Chenxi away, you don’t mind, do you?” Leng Fengmei asked casually.
"What opinion could I possibly have? It's all the same no matter where you are!" the girl said casually while eating fruit.
"Tell me, Li Chenxi is outstanding in every way. He's been popular with a lot of girls since he arrived!" She glanced at her daughter and noticed that although she seemed indifferent on the surface, her shifty eyes betrayed her. "But Li Chenxi ignores them. I heard that a girl even confessed to him! I wonder how it went! I haven't seen him these past few days."
"Why is Mom saying all this? I'm hungry, so make me something delicious!" Hanhan suddenly didn't find the fruit appealing anymore.
Leng Fengmei readily agreed, "Okay, you wait and see!"
A few moments later, a bowl of vegetable noodles was placed in front of her daughter. "Try it and see how it tastes."
Hanhan looked at her mother in surprise, "That's too easy!"
"Eat it or not, it's up to you to be picky!" she said, reaching for the plate to take it back.
"I'll eat!" Hanhan quickly grabbed her rice bowl; she was genuinely hungry!
"It's a bit bland, and too oily..." Seeing her daughter complaining while eating, Leng Fengmei was so angry that her head was throbbing. How could she still be so picky?
"Hanhan, you'll have to get used to cooking for yourself from now on! Actually, I came here to tell you that Li Chenxi probably won't be coming back unless something unexpected happens." Leng Fengmei had barely finished speaking when Hanhan suddenly stopped. "Mom, did he say that himself?"
“I figured it out myself, go and see for yourself if you don’t believe me!” Leng Fengmei said earnestly. “I’m just telling you in advance because I’m afraid you can’t handle it, after all, you’ve been together for more than ten years.”
"Mom, why does he care so much about that kind of thing? It's disgusting!" Hanhan shouted loudly.
"It's a happy thing for lovers to be together. Why do you feel disgusted if you haven't tried it?" Leng Fengmei earnestly advised.
"Mom, I'll never forget what happened when I was little. Those people's disgusting faces made me want to vomit!" Hanhan said, tears welling up in her eyes. "Couldn't we just eat and drink together like before, happily?"
"Alright, Mom won't say anymore. You'll come back with me later and you can decide for yourself. If you really don't want to, don't hold her back. Li Chenxi has waited for you for ten years! You need to think this through... Are you really not going to accept it?" Looking at her daughter who had fallen silent, she said, "Being with someone you like is really wonderful. You can try it first and then decide, okay?"
When Leng Fengmei returned with her daughter, she saw a group of girls gathered together in the distance, saying, "Brother Chenxi, I like you... Brother Chenxi, I want to marry you..." Leng Fengmei's lips twitched. She was supposed to be acting, but this was too exaggerated!
Seeing her daughter's expression—biting her lip and with tears welling in her eyes—she sighed inwardly, "My silly daughter, she actually believed such a lame acting. Don't miss out on such a good man as Li Chenxi, or she'll never get married in this lifetime."
"Li Chenxi!" Hanhan's clear voice broke the noisy atmosphere.
Li Chenxi was already feeling very anxious, and when he heard Hanhan call him, his heart jumped. Just as he was about to go over, a girl next to him grabbed him and said, "Brother Chenxi, I really like you. I'll do whatever you say, okay?"
Seeing this, Song Yuhan suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain that made it hard to breathe, and tears streamed down her face. She had never imagined that one day she would shed tears for a man! But she just couldn't control herself, "Li Chenxi... Waaah..."
Li Chenxi instantly pushed away the woman beside her and rushed to the girl. "Hanhan, don't cry. I only like you..." she said, wiping away the girl's tears. "We won't do things you don't like. It's okay. I don't care about this, really!"
Leng Fengmei frowned as she watched. Wasn't this just spoiling them? "Sigh!"
The girls exchanged glances and dispersed. "Sigh! What a great guy, why don't they like him? If it were me, I'd want to be with him every day!" one girl said unabashedly as she walked away.
"Amei, don't worry about it. I think they're a good match!" Jia Renyi quickly advised.
"Sigh! It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is." Leng Fengmei went straight back to her manor, thinking that she would never care again. This Li Chenxi was really something, she went through all that trouble, and then he softened after crying a couple of times. He deserved it!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He didn't even notice the person walking towards him and bumped right into them!
"Sorry, I was distracted!" Leng Fengmei saw a man wearing a mask hurriedly step aside. "Are you alright?"
The man nervously waved his hand!
"It's alright! Don't be afraid, I won't blame you!" Leng Fengmei knew that many people were afraid of her, and seeing the man's expression of wanting to look at her but not daring to, she asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
The man suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop," and Leng Fengmei quickly reached out to help him up. "Get up quickly. I'm not blaming you. If you need any help, just tell me."
Seeing the man nod, she turned and left.
Unbeknownst to her, the man's eyes beneath his mask were already brimming with tears. "Master, have you really forgotten Emil?"
Emil traveled to many places, but eventually returned here. He saw that she was truly happy, pampered like a child by two men, and realized how foolish he had been. His so-called love seemed so insignificant compared to theirs!
"Amei, why are you so angry? They're doing just fine!" Zhou Zhan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the little woman's disappointed expression.
