Qingjiu carried his daughter and walked towards the house next door.
I realized I shouldn't follow her. I don't know what she thinks of me right now. What if I follow her and make her overthink things?
It was at this time that...
Li Lanhua, the woman who helps us take care of our daughter, started to speak.
"Young master, what is your relationship with Qingjiu?"
Upon hearing this, I was wondering what to say.
Li Lanhua's son, Little Dot, said, "I know, Mom, he must be Xiaoxiao's father."
Xiaoxiao's father?
Didn't Qingjiu say that the child's father had started a relationship with them and then abandoned them?
Li Lanhua said with a stern face, "Young Master, since you no longer want Qingjiu and her daughter, what are you doing here looking for them? Let me tell you, you are not allowed to harm them, otherwise..."
She looked at me like I was an enemy.
I said, "Sister Lan Hua, don't worry, I won't do anything to them. If Qing Jiu is willing, I will take her and her daughter back. If she is not willing, I will arrange for someone to take care of them."
A little over fifteen minutes passed.
Qing Jiucai carried the child out. By then, the little girl had already eaten her fill and was looking around with her eyes open.
"Give."
Qingjiu handed the child to me.
I hesitated for a moment before taking it. Although I had held my younger sister and the others when I was little, I was still a bit rusty now. It took me a while to realize how to hold them.
I held the baby for a while.
I noticed Li Lanhua and the others staring at us, so I whispered, "Let's go home and talk for a bit."
Let's go.
Qingjiu took the child, held him, and left.
Li Lanhua said from behind us, "Sister, if you need anything, just call me. Our village has plenty of people, not many things."
"Understood, Sister Orchid."
Qingjiu received the reply and carried the child into the house; I followed him in.
We arrived at their room.
I looked around and saw that they lived in adobe houses. The houses looked a bit dilapidated, but fortunately they were safe and not the kind of dangerous buildings.
Have you always lived here?
Qingjiu put her daughter on the bed, looked at me and said, "Yes..."
I tightened my grip and asked again, "Was it very difficult when you gave birth to her?"
"It's all in the past."
Qingjiu asked me if I wanted some water and poured me a glass. She drank several glasses herself before realizing it.
I paused for a moment and said, "Take your daughter and come back with me. Qingjiu, my feelings for you have never been just a passing fancy. The reason I treated you that day was because I was afraid you would fall for someone else..."
Qingjiu remained silent.
I stepped forward, took her hand, and said, "Qingjiu, I want to marry you, to make you my queen."
"How could I possibly be a princess..."
Qingjiu withdrew her hand from mine with some fear.
I said slowly, "Why can't you be with me? My mother was originally a peasant girl, and she ended up with my father. Why can't you be with me?"
No, they're not the same.
Qing Jiu knew very well that he was no match for An Wanwan.
I continued, "In my heart, you are the best."
Qingjiu neither agreed nor refused.
The days that followed.
I rented a house in their village and settled down. I was determined to stay with the mother and daughter.
One month, two months, three months passed.
I didn't leave.
perhaps.
It was I who moved Qingjiu.
Or perhaps.
It was because she saw how much Xiaoxiao liked me and called me "Dad" that she finally agreed to come back to the capital with me.
Once I got back...
I took them to meet my mother and the other women, and they had no objections. Our marriage was arranged not long afterward.
The wedding night I had been waiting for so long finally arrived, but on this day, Qingjiu became pregnant again.
I wasn't there for the first one, but I absolutely must be there for the second.
I stayed by her side every day, and it turned out that she was pregnant with twins, a rare boy and a girl.
I was overjoyed, but what made me happiest was hearing Qingjiu say that she liked me too.
Isn't the best thing ever to be someone you like who also likes you?
