When He Grows up, He Will Marry Her!

At this moment, she felt like a playful temptress. And someone as cold and aloof as Li Yuan who had distanced themselves from worldly affairs, must despise her impulsive actions!

Hua Qianqian quickly withdrew her hand, wiping away the tears from her face.

She stood up and said to Li Yuan, “I apologize, it was not intentional…”

Li Yuan looked at Hua Qianqian, observing her distress.

Did she mistake him for Xiao Yan?

With this thought, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, suppressing his annoyance.

He coldly snorted, “Go back to your own room to sleep. Are you here to take care of me or for me to take care of you?”

Hua Qianqian looked at the edge of Li Yuan’s bed wet by her tears, her face turning even redder.

Seeing that Li Yuan was indeed fine, she simply nodded and left the room.

Li Yuan glanced at the soaked bedsheet, feeling an inexplicable restlessness in his usually calm heart. Why did he let her leave?

How did he not notice her obedience when they were younger?

He threw the book in his hand aside and called for A'mo.

“Master.”

“Send letters to my father and mother, informing them that I will stay in Jing City.”

A'mo suddenly looked up, his usually expressionless face finally showing a hint of surprise.

“Master, think twice! The Emperor summoned you back to Jing City to imprison you here to control Lord Li and gradually weaken him! Let’s stick to our original plan and go to Nanjiang for treatment!”

A'duo also appeared, anxiously saying, “Master, A'mo is right. If you stay in Jing City, your identity will be exposed, and it will be too dangerous!”

Li Yuan looked at his two secret guards, his face revealing neither joy nor anger, only a faint tone, “Do as I say. If you don’t want to listen to me, you can return to Beijiang!”

The two exchanged glances and lowered their heads.

Regardless, they would never abandon Li Yuan and return to the Beijiang.

A'mo reluctantly said, “Yes,” and left the room.

Li Yuan picked up the book he had just put down, ignoring A'duo who had been kneeling by the bedside.

It was only when A'duo’s legs started to feel numb from kneeling that Li Yuan spoke again: “If she goes out, you should follow and protect her.”

…

Hua Qianqian returned to Old Lady Li’s room and spent some time talking with her.

Before long, footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.

“It must be your aunt and the others returning.”

As soon as Old Lady Li’s voice fell, a woman entered the room through the curtain.

This woman was Hua Qianqian’s aunt, Madam Guan.

Madam Guan was beautiful, and Li Yuanbang inherited her beauty completely.

However, at this moment, her face was filled with exhaustion, and her once straight back seemed inexplicably bent.

“Aunt!”

When Madam Guan saw Hua Qianqian, she paused for a moment, then nodded toward her with complex emotions.

Shortly after Madam Guan entered, a chubby figure emerged from behind her and immediately rushed into Hua Qianqian’s embrace.

“Sister! It’s really you! I thought I would never see you again!”

Hua Qianqian lowered her head and looked at Little Ball in front of her, unable to resist pinching his chubby face that resembled her own.

Her tone softened as well: “How could that be! How could I bear to not see our Little Ball anymore!” “But second brother said you won’t come to see us anymore. He said you don’t want to be with us anymore!”

When the five or six-year-old Little Ball said this, tears welled up in his obsidian-like eyes, melting Hua Qianqian’s heart.

This little ball was her cousin, Li Yuanxiu, nicknamed Little Ball.

Because both of them had a great love for food, and Hua Qianqian was skilled at making delicious snacks, Little Ball had always been very close to her since they were young.

This Little Ball even made a bold declaration that if Hua Qianqian couldn’t get married in the future, he would marry her after he grew up!

Hua Qianqian remembered that she couldn’t even save Little Ball in the end, and he died under the guillotine.

Her heart tightened into a knot, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Yuanbang grabbed Little Ball’s collar, pulled him back, and scolded him, “You brat, you can’t do anything else but tattle!”

Little Ball, dissatisfied, pouted and said, “Brother Yuangbang, you’re lying! Yesterday, you said I don’t know anything except eating!”

“Ha…”

Listening to the conversation between these two brothers, Hua Qianqian’s sadness from reuniting with her family was diluted.

“Sister Qianqian, I missed you so much. Why did it take you so long to come and see us? My sister missed you too!”

After hearing Little Ball’s words, Hua Qianqian finally noticed the girl at the door, tears in her eyes, looking at her.

Little Ball turned his head to glance at his sister, then said, “Sister Qianqian, my sister heard that you won’t come to see us anymore and cried for several days!”

Li Nianci hurriedly sniffed her nose a few times, feeling a bit embarrassed.

She lowered her head and gestured with her hand, indicating that Little Ball was talking nonsense. She hadn’t cried for many days!

As she gestured, her face turned red.

Li Nianci was Hua Qianqian’s cousin, and her appearance matched her name, gentle like a spring pond.

However, although she was blessed with good looks, she did not have a healthy body.

Li Nianci couldn’t speak when she was born, so she was always timid and afraid to communicate with others.

In her previous life, Nianci’s fate was also tragic.

After Old Lady Li and Li Yuanbang passed away one after another, their days away from home became even more difficult.

Her aunt was devastated and lost in her own world.

To support her younger brother, Nianci had no choice but to marry a man surnamed Guo as a concubine.

Little did she know that the man named Guo was a madman.

He treated Nianci well on the surface but secretly tortured her in various ways at night.

Eventually, unable to bear the humiliation, Nianci hanged herself.
