Yi Weiyang furrowed his brow slightly. "I promise, every word I say is from the heart. Huo Li, you’re a good girl, but you’re still too young. There are many things you don’t understand. The mont you open your mouth, you talk about how much you love , but to , it feels like you’ve lacked fatherly love since childhood, and all these years, I’ve cared for you like my own child. That’s made you develop a sense of dependency and misperception. This isn’t love; it’s familial affection. When you et the person you truly like, you’ll understand."
"I’m not a child, I understand everything." Huo Li got out of bed barefoot and stood in front of Yi Weiyang, raising her voice. "Love and familial affection—I can tell the difference! I truly love you! I want to live with you! I want to take care of you for a lifeti!"
"I’m already at this age. Do you really think I could walk through a lifeti with you?" Yi Weiyang lowered his gaze and looked at her. "Rather than letting you suffer then, it’s better to find you a good match now."
"I knew you’d say sothing like that! I don’t think as far ahead as you do! I only know that I love you, and I have to say it aloud because, at the very least, we loved each other. Even if you leave this world before , I won’t have regrets. Besides, don’t think that just because you’re older than , I might not encounter misfortune and leave earlier."
Yi Weiyang stared at her speechlessly and finally spoke after a long while: "Older by a few years? We’re a generation apart! You and Luowa are like sisters—doesn’t that make you feel awkward?"
Huo Li pouted and said, "Not at all! Luowa and I are still sisters. It’s just that the way I define the relationship between you and has been slightly adjusted."
Yi Weiyang flung his hand and walked out. Once he reached the door, he shouted back, "Unreasonable! Tomorrow I’m going to marry that woman!"
Huo Li chased after him. "If you can na that woman right now, I’ll let you go!"
Yi Weiyang froze. Truth be told, he didn’t even know her na. He couldn’t even recall what she looked like.
Huo Li turned to face Yi Luowa. "See that? He doesn’t even know her na, yet he wants to marry her! If that woman treats him well, then fine. But if she doesn’t, how is life going to go on? Just to make give up, he’s willing to gamble his own happiness. Piggy, are you going to just stand there watching?"
Yi Luowa scratched her head. "Second Uncle’s words aren’t completely unreasonable..."
"Piggy!" Huo Li glared at her indignantly.
"What you’re saying makes sense too..."
"Yi Luowa!" Yi Weiyang shouted from outside the door.
"Alright, can everyone just stop yelling at ? Both of you keep calm! Second Uncle, before you reach an agreent, don’t impulsively marry that woman. It’s unfair to her. If you don’t love her, don’t get involved with her."
Yi Luowa turned to Huo Li. "And you! Don’t keep talking about love and affection all the ti. If you keep forcing my Second Uncle like this, he’ll only get farther away from you. Tomorrow, co with . Stay at my place for a few days."
"I’m not going!" Huo Li pouted. "If I go with you for a few days, he might bring that woman back by then."
"Without discussing it with , will Second Uncle casually bring back a new auntie for ? You pighead! Can’t you use so common sense?" Yi Luowa pushed her gently. "Put your shoes on! You look like a madwoman. If I were him, I wouldn’t want you either."
"You..."
Yi Luowa shot her a sideways glance. "What do you an ’you’? Put on your shoes! I’m starving! Do you plan to let starve to death?"
When Yi Weiyang heard Yi Luowa say she was hungry, he imdiately strode into the kitchen. Finding it empty, he stood in the hall and yelled, "Where’s everyone? It’s late, and still no one’s cooking!"
Uncle Li and Aunt Li entered with several other servants.
"Second Master, you were the one who sent us out." Uncle Li signaled to the other servants. "Hurry up and start cooking. Make sothing Luowa likes."
Yi Weiyang glared at Uncle Li. "You talk too much!"
Uncle Li’s mouth twitched. "Second Master, Young Master is still in the backyard."
"Call him back! Getting more senile by the day! Do I have to teach you how to do everything?"
Yi Luowa frowned as she walked out. "Second Uncle, what’s going on? Just because you’re upset doesn’t an you can take it out on Uncle Li!"
"I might as well take it out on you! You want that?" Yi Weiyang turned to glare at her.
"Do you think I’d dare say no? You’re already yelling at aren’t you?" Yi Luowa pouted. "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, tell everyone not to cook. I’m full just from all this anger! Both of you, and Huo Li, pack up and co with . Let’s leave so that Second Uncle can shout at whoever he wants! Besides, bring Ao Xiang and Ao Lie with us. We’ll leave the house to him and let him smash it however he wants!"
"Yi Luowa, are you trying to rebel?" Yi Weiyang stord over in rage.
