I used to think he kept it because he didn't want to eat it, could it be...
Jiang Wanying took the sweet potato and rushed to Lu Yanchuan, hugging his arm. "Uncle Lu, you are so kind! No wonder my uncle asked me to follow you! As expected, you won't go hungry if you follow a big boss. I don't know if there is meat to eat, but there will definitely be sweet potatoes!"
"Big... Boss?"
Lu Yanchuan frowned, having never heard of this word before.
Jiang Wanying finally realized she had let something slip. She tilted her head back and explained seriously, "That's... that's what a master means!"
Looking at the little girl's cute expression, Lu Yanchuan raised his other hand and rubbed her head, "Understood."
Jiang Wanying was stunned by the touch, and then the man's low and hoarse voice came from above her head again, "Then you can call me this from now on."
Calling him Uncle Lu or something like that makes him sound too old.
He doesn't like it.
Jiang Wanying immediately started yelling, "Even though you're a big shot, don't you know how to be reserved? Forcing people to call you big shot is way too narcissistic!"
Lu Yanchuan's eyes moved down to the sweet potato in her hand, "Change of heart fee."
"Am I, Jiang Wanying, someone who can be bribed by a sweet potato? I..."
"Then give it back to me." Lu Yanchuan grabbed it without hesitation. Jiang Wanying quickly hid it in her arms, "Humph! Isn't it just a change of words? Isn't it enough to change it? You stingy guy!"
"Are you two still eating? Stop flirting." Liu Xi finished a fish but was still not full.
Jiang Huaichuan kicked him and said, "What are you talking about, kid? What do you mean by flirting? If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them!"
Liu Xi playfully tried to grab his fish, then ran away after getting it. "If you don't want me to talk about it, then give me some hush money!"
Jiang Huaichuan had saved his favorite fish tail for last, but it was snatched away right away. He chased after it, "If I catch you, you're done!"
Jiang Wanying munched on a sweet potato and watched them laughing and playing happily, but Lu Yanchuan was looking at her.
As the night grew darker, Liu Xi sneaked up to Xu's house holding something wrapped in paper.
Li Beibei lived in the outermost west wing of the Xu family's house. The room was lit with candlelight. Through the window paper, he saw the figures of a man and a woman above.
"I give you everything, and you're still worried?"
"I just want to go to college. I want to bring honor to you in the future. Don't be so arrogant, Xu Guo!"
A familiar voice came from inside, and Liu Xi's pupils suddenly contracted. What did this mean? What did he mean by giving everything to Xu Guo?
"Beibei, it's not that I don't want to, it's my mother who insists that you must marry me."
"Are you a coward? You have to listen to your mother in everything? Is it you who is getting married or her? If you can't even satisfy me with this little bit, I might as well die!" Li Beibei's hoarse voice came from the house.
Then Xu Guoyi hugged her tightly, afraid that she would do something stupid. "Beibei, don't get excited. I'm listening to you, okay? I'll go tell my mom right away!"
Li Beibei's crying gradually became much quieter, and Xu Guoyi also left the room.
Outside the window, Liu Xi staggered and the paper bag in his hand fell to the ground. Inside was a roasted crucian carp.
Li Beibei heard the noise and quickly opened the window to look, but there was no one around. She glanced down at something on the ground, her expression darkening, and her grip on the window tightened little by little...
