"I said you wouldn’t believe , but just be careful for the ti being. I’m heading back to Linyi tonight, I’ll return the day after tomorrow."
"Ah?"
Su Xiaong really couldn’t figure out this aloof playboy. If he was pursuing her, his way was much too cold. That’s not how soone goes about chasing a girl.
"Be very careful these next couple of days. If sothing truly happens, call this number imdiately." As he said this, Jiang Leng took out a Parker Pen from his pocket and wrote a string of numbers on Su Xiaong’s palm, "This person is called Li Muyun, he’s my cousin."
"Oh."
Su Xiaong looked down carefully at the phone number written in her palm.
"Alright, I have other things to attend to, you can get out of the car now."
Shrugging her shoulders, Su Xiaong got out of the car neatly. Watching the sports car roar away, she couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh, "What an oddity, but on second thought, actually quite adorable."
"Li Muyun!"
A sharp call suddenly ca, causing many people to look towards the entrance of the McDonald’s restaurant.
At that mont, Xian Qianling, looking dashing, approached quickly with the onlookers’ gazes upon her.
She walked straight ahead without a sidewards glance; in her eyes, it seed as though there was only you.
At the ti, you were having lunch with Little Qinniang. Although to you, Western fast food was equivalent to junk food, you were trying your best to let Little Qinniang experience life as other kids do, making an effort to integrate her into city life.
"Police Officer Xie, with that hurried look of yours, you’re not planning to draft into service again, are you?" you looked up at Xian Qianling, "Today I really don’t have the ti."
Xian Qianling took a seat next to Little Qinniang and stared straight at you.
"Why are you staring at like that?" you picked up sothing called a hamburger with evident disdain and bit into it. To speak the truth, it didn’t taste great. Compared to the at-stuffed buns from Chang’an, it was way off.
"Where have you been these past few days? Have you been avoiding ?"
You didn’t expect Xian Qianling to say that and couldn’t help but laugh, "Why would I avoid you? I’ve been to the mountains with Little Yun these last two days."
"To the mountains?"
Clearly, Wu Qiyi hadn’t ntioned Little Qinniang to Xian Qianling, otherwise, she wouldn’t just be focused on talking to you now.
anwhile, Little Qinniang ate her hamburger with small bites, not saying a word, although occasionally glancing at Xian Qianling beside her.
Watching Little Qinniang eat half of her hamburger and not touching her hot orange juice, you smiled at her and said, "Little Yan, don’t just focus on the burger, have so drink too."
Only after you said this did Xian Qianling notice the little girl sitting beside her.
She turned her head, and right at that mont, Little Qinniang also looked up at her. Little Qinniang didn’t dare to hold Xian Qianling’s gaze and quickly lowered her head, slowly sipping her orange juice.
After giving Little Qinniang a careful glance, Xian Qianling turned to you and asked, "Who is she?"
"My sister, Li Xiyan." As you said this, you turned to Little Qinniang, "Little Yan, say hello to Police Officer Xie."
Little Qinniang looked up and nodded slightly towards Xian Qianling, "Hello, Police Officer Xie."
"Your sister? Aren’t you an only child? Since when did you have a sister?"
You laughed and said, "It’s a long story, and I’m not in the mood to tell it again. If you really want to know, you could call Zongzi or Yang Kai those two blabbermouths. They should be able to tell you everything."
Xian Qianling looked at you and Little Qinniang with a half-believing gaze, then asked one more ti, "Are you really not avoiding ?"
"No, you’re not a fearso beast, why would I hide from you?" I said, giving her an annoyed look.
"That’s good to hear." Xian Qianling nodded, then turned to and asked, "Your school is about to go on vacation, isn’t it?"
"Yeah, it’s soon. But it’s all the sa to , vacation or not. I’m just naturally hardworking, always busy whether I’m in school or on break, putting out fires here and there like an ergency response team."
Xian Qianling snorted coldly, "Whose fault is it that you have so many romantic debts? A little eighteen-year-old boy and already stepping on several boats at once."
"Wronged! More wronged than Dou E!"
Clearly immune to my theatrics by now, Xian Qianling turned to Little Qinniang, smiling, "Hello, Little Yan, I’m Xian Qianling, your brother’s girlfriend."
"Pfft!"
Just as I was about to take a sip of my milk tea, I spat it out and protested at Xian Qianling, "Hey, you an a female friend, right?"
"Just one, hardly matters. I’m a girl and I don’t mind, what are you fussing about?" Xian Qianling turned and glared at !
Damn!
It’s better to provoke a gang of bandits than to upset a young woman!
Little Qinniang blinked her confused eyes and said, "Isn’t Zhao’er my brother’s girlfriend?"
I gave Little Qinniang a thumbs up secretly, well said!
With what seed like a gentle smile, Xian Qianling said, "Zhao’er is on vacation abroad, and when she’s not around, I’m her girlfriend."
"Oh." Little Qinniang nodded.
Xian Qianling stretched out her hand to touch Little Qinniang’s cut hair, noticing the split ends and dryness. She imdiately turned to and scolded, "Little Yan’s hair is badly split. Surely it’s because of you, her careless brother, not taking proper care!"
Before I could explain, Xian Qianling already had Little Qinniang’s slight figure in her arms, saying with a smile, "Since I’m off for the next couple of days, I’ll first take her for a hair mask treatnt, then we’ll go buy so pretty clothes and tasty treats, okay?"
Little Qinniang didn’t answer but turned to look at .
"Little Yan has been living in the mountains since she was a child and has just co to the big city. She hasn’t been exposed to many things here, so you can’t treat her the way you would an adult."
"Anything is better than how you would handle it," Xian Qianling said, deciding without taking my objection into account, "Right, that’s settled! From now on, Little Yan will stay with us at Ladies’ Ho."
"It’s not necessary."
Wu Qiyi had already suggested letting Little Qinniang stay at Ladies’ Ho, and at first, I thought it was a good idea. But this morning, my long-absent mother finally called, saying she’d be ho the day after tomorrow.
In the phone call, I also ntioned Little Qinniang to her. As soon as she heard I’d found her a daughter, she jumped for joy, because she always wanted a daughter but never had the chance since Dad passed away so early.
They say daughters are like a little cotton-padded jacket close to their parents’ hearts. Now with an extra one, how could she not be overjoyed?
"Why not? Is there so vixen you’ve already made plans with?"
Xian Qianling frowned fiercely, a unique aura of command naturally erged.
I looked at Xian Qianling with a full smile and said, "Yes, indeed a vixen, but for you, she’s a fox fairy who has cultivated for at least a thousand years."
Upon hearing this, Xian Qianling imdiately frowned, "Who is it!?"
"My mom."
