"I don't know. This girl didn't tell me where she went, and I'm still angry," Meng Sangsang said, blinking her innocent big eyes.
Quan Ye didn't believe her. "You'll find a way to contact her and tell her to come back and admit her mistake. Otherwise, if I catch her in the act, she'll have to bear the consequences."
"Forehead……"
Meng Sangsang had nothing more to say and was asked to leave.
Only the two of them remained in the living room.
Qin Xuan coughed lightly and said, "How do you know that Su Li will definitely contact Meng Sangsang?"
Quan Ye: "You're in charge of keeping an eye on Meng Sangsang. Tell me immediately if you hear anything."
"Why is it me again? That girl is bothering me now and doesn't even want to see me. Please don't give me this task."
"We'll be lying in the same bed from now on, so you're just idling around anyway."
Quan Ye finished speaking coldly and turned to walk away.
Qin Xuan's face darkened, and it took him a while to react. "What do you mean by lying in the same bed? Hey, explain yourself clearly."
In the study, Quan Ye stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
Scenes of Su Li flashed through his mind: obedient and docile, she would do almost everything he asked and never disobeyed him.
Four years had passed, and he thought she had adapted and would stay here obediently, but unexpectedly she still ran away.
He underestimated her.
"Su Li, trying to escape? Impossible!"
He slammed the teacup down on the table, and soon a crack appeared in it.

"Achoo—"
Su Chen was doing his homework in his room when he sneezed and immediately came out. "Sis, is someone yelling at me? Why do I keep yawning?"
Su Li was in the kitchen studying how to use the stove when she heard this and casually said, "You're not wearing enough clothes. Wear more so you don't catch a cold."
"It's so hot today, and you still want me to wear more clothes? I'm going to suffocate."
Su Chen walked over and asked, "Sis, what are you busy with?"
"How do I use this stove? I want to cook. Aren't you hungry?"
"My stomach is growling with hunger. Don't you know how to cook this? Let me see."
"What do you know? I'll do it myself."
"Is anyone home?" A figure entered the yard.
Su Chen ran out and exclaimed in surprise, "Dr. Xiao, what brings you here?"
Xiao Yu was wearing a white coat, looking sunny and handsome, like a recent college graduate.
He weighed the two baskets of eggs and fruit in his hands and said with a smile, "These are gifts from everyone, saying they're to welcome our new neighbors. I brought them over for you."
"Wow, so many! They're so enthusiastic!"
"They said it was a misunderstanding since you just came over yesterday, and they apologized to you specifically. From now on, we're all neighbors, so we should help each other out."
Xiao Yu entered the living room and placed the things on the table.
Su Li took off her apron, wiped her hands, and came out. "Dr. Xiao, you should take all this stuff back. We don't need it."
"It's alright, this is just a small token of everyone's appreciation. Please accept it, otherwise they'll feel bad about it."
"Thank you. I'll treat everyone to dinner another day."
Xiao Yu noticed some grime on her fair and pretty face and walked over to ask, "What are you busy with?"
"The stove looks a bit old-fashioned, and I'm not very good at using it. I'm figuring it out now."
“This stove is a local specialty; people from other places usually don’t know how to use it. Let me help you.”
Xiao Yu rolled up his sleeves and went inside to get busy, before Su Li could even refuse.
Su Chen walked over, gently touched her shoulder and said, "Sister, Dr. Xiao is enthusiastic and hardworking, not bad at all."
Su Li: "What are you thinking about, you little brat? Go do your homework."
"I'm done writing. I'm going to help Dr. Xiao."
Su Chen also went into the kitchen.
Su Li's phone rang once. She glanced down at it and went outside to answer it.
