While the sky was still dark and there were still some time before dinner, Xiao Qian forcefully dragged her and the child out for a walk.

The courtyard built in front of Su Zhi's residence a few years ago had been completely built. It was a fake mountain garden, a pavilion and the style of a luxurious mansion.

"When all the furniture and tools in the garden have been arranged, you and the child can go live on the other side. I'll send a few more servants to help you with some tasks, so I won't feel wronged by you and the child."

Su Zhi looked at Dewar on the opposite side of the wall and shook her head. "Forget it. I'll stay in the same courtyard as the children. It'll be more comfortable."

"How can that be? This courtyard is old and run-down. When the children are older, they will not have their own room."

Su Zhi also thought about the lack of rooms, but she just wanted to build a new house in the backyard. She didn't plan to move out.

Xiao Qian held Su Zhi's hand with one hand and the small bean bag with the other.

A Jin held her mother's hand as the family walked down the path, envious of the bystanders.

At such a warm moment, Su Zhi would fall into a trance for a moment, as if she had already married Xiao Qian. Every day, she would do the same thing.

"Hey, Little Su? Wandering around with Lord Liu? "

A single sentence succeeded in breaking the short moment of bliss.

Su Zhi stared at Gu Shisui in shock, her mouth wide open, not knowing what to say.

"Sister Gu, I know you don't like my nephew from the Liu family for a reason. After all, the tall and handsome man of the Liu family is one of the most outstanding among the people. No matter what, he is still a hundred times better than that farmer!"

Xiao Qian: "?"

Su Zhi: "…"

"Cough cough. Sister-in-law Gu, do you recognize Lord Liu?" Don't talk nonsense, she's innocent! Xiao Qian, this man likes to eat so much, can you not make her eat?

Gu Sister-in-Law scratched her head and pointed at Xiao Gan. "Isn't he?"

Su Zhi was flabbergasted and didn't know how to reply.

It really wasn't the right thing to do! The two of them had completely different styles! Liu Yuan was refined and gentle, while Xiao Qian was calm and reserved, daring to kill.

How did he become a person? It was obviously not even one thing!

Seeing her shocked expression, Gu Sister-in-Law knew she was wrong. She clapped her hands and explained: "Sorry, but this isn't Sir Liu right? I resent and resent me, but I can't see clearly, and I dare to speak carelessly when I haven't met anyone before. I am truly sorry, but little brother, please don't take it to heart! "

After saying that, he stuck out his tongue and quickly ran away.

Su Zhi could clearly feel that someone at the side was unhappy, the kind that was extremely unhappy.

"That... Sister-in-law Gu's words are like this, a little out of bounds, don't take it to heart. "

Xiao Qian tightened his grip on her hand, a meaningful smile on his face. "Not bad, even the people living next door know of Liu Yu An's existence. Just that they don't know about me."

"Don't speak nonsense. Didn't you save Mr. Liu before? Then, you invited me out to dinner, and I was just misunderstood by them. "

He stopped and stared straight at Su Zhi. "More than once, right?"

"About that, it's more than once, but I'm telling you the truth, just the day before New Year's, you asked me to go, and for serious business, I didn't lie to you!"

"Oh? You dare to say that you didn't lie to me? "

Su Zhi vowed solemnly, "If I want to lie to you, can't you take a thunderstorm!"

"Rumble ~ ~ ~ ~"

Just as he finished speaking, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky.

Before the sun set, the sky was still clear, and in the blink of an eye, it had darkened.

Su Zhi stood in the same spot in embarrassment. She glanced at the overcast sky and laughed sloppily in embarrassment. "The weather has changed quite quickly."

The man ignored her, let go, and walked back with the baby in his arms.

A Jin was very smart. She instantly sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two of them.

"Mother, you can't just randomly swear that you will be struck by lightning."

Su Zhi glared at him unhappily. What the hell was this kid talking about? Where did the usual cleverness go?

"There are clouds above evil, and I wish to know you. Mausoleum is not in the mountains, the river water is exhausted,? The winter thunder shook the summer rain and the snow, and the heaven and earth gathered … What is it? "

A Jin shook his head, trying his best to think.

"Son, where did you learn these things?"

"Next door to the school, Little Flower asked me to recite it for her!"

Su Zhi slipped and almost fell to the ground.

"En, good son, don't casually read poems like this to other girls in the future."

"Can you read it to a boy?"

"No way!"

This kid always learns stuff!

"Oh."

A Jin helplessly held her hand as she looked at the little bean bun that was comfortably resting on Xiao Qian's shoulder. An envious expression appeared on her face.

However, the man in front didn't seem to be happy, he only carried the girl and silently walked back.

Sensing the gaze behind him, Xiao Qian turned around and smiled at him, "Come here, A-Jin. Uncle Xiao is holding you."

A Jin smiled as she let go of Su Zhi's hand and climbed onto the man's strong arm.

The three people in front were enjoying themselves, leaving Su Zhi alone as she silently followed behind. She stuck her tongue out at the man and muttered something to herself. And then there were the two stinking children, the little traitor.

As soon as the family returned home, it began to rain.

Although it was not past spring, the rain was not gentle at all, and crackling and rattling violently.

Mrs Ding enjoyed her meal. After a long time, she didn't see Xiao Qian come back and prepared a big table full of good wine and dishes.

Bi Yue and Danxue were busy doing their work as well, and didn't notice the man's little mood in the slightest.

For the first time in her life, Su Zhi was happy with the rain.

It was raining so heavily that the man couldn't have left tonight, right?

She understood Xiao Qian. His temper came a bit faster, but it also dispersed a bit faster. It was actually very easy to coax. He was only thinking of his big brother, yet he still had to coax him. It gave him a feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Su Zhi did not have much experience in love, so she did not know how to handle this kind of thing. She could only rely on instinct to decide. He would be better after a while.

After the meal was served, Xiao Qian did not slow down his mood and remained silent. Mrs Ding took A Jin and Little Dou Bao away, hoping that the two of them would be more at ease. But without the child by her side, Su Zhi felt even more uneasy.

The two of them ate in silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Su Zhi ate the rice in the bowl and secretly sized up the man in front of her. She saw that his eyebrows were stiff and his curved, beautiful lower jaw was moving slightly with the sound of chewing. It was obvious that he was unhappy.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

This man was really annoying. Wasn't he just being stingy? Wasn't he just admitting his wrongs in the wrong words? Was there really a need to be so stingy?

"That …" This Jealous Ribs is not bad. "

Unable to bear the awkward situation anymore, Su Zhi picked up a pork chop and placed it in the man's bowl, as a show of goodwill.

Xiao Qian stared blankly at the small piece of pork chop before continuing to eat his own. He didn't show any displeasure nor did he appear very happy.

He was speechless.

Su Zhi felt that she had lost a lot of face. As expected, this man was not easy to coax. Forget it, just let him be!

So what if I like it!

She lowered her head in exasperation, but there were only a few dishes in front of her, so she no longer spoke to him.

After a long while, Xiao Qian put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously.

"Ah Zhi, tell me the truth, are you unwilling to marry me because of Lord Liu?"

Su Zhi could not swallow a mouthful of rice as she choked on her tears.

"You don't have Waters in your head, do you? If I don't want to marry you for the sake of Lord Liu, why would I waste time and emotions with you! "

The man looked helpless. "But you refused to say yes."

It's not because you have a powerful grandmother and you don't want a girl like her, who has no background, to come in.

"Take care of your grandmother first."

She was clearly such an easy person to deal with, yet she was the one who had to talk nonsense. If the elders agreed, would she be unhappy?

"Then, you've agreed to follow me?"

Su Zhi rolled her eyes at him, she was so angry that she could not eat anymore.

Could this man be any more stupid?

With this guarantee, Xiao Qian quickly cleared the haze. His mood was elated. "Alright. You don't need to worry about the rest of it. Just leave it to me."

He gave a silly smile to Su Zhi, then picked up a piece of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and passed it to her, "This taste is indeed not bad, eat more."

"Don't go against the madame. She doesn't like me so she naturally won't let you marry me. I don't want you to be unhappy with my family because of my matter."

Xiao Qian quickly finished the large bowl of rice and said happily, "Don't worry about that. I have a way to get Grandmother to let you in."

He didn't say that Su Zhi also knew that he was trying to deceive Madam Xiao by saying that she was pregnant, but how long could he keep this a secret? Even if he managed to get through to the doctor, he would not be able to hold on to the fact that there was nothing in his stomach after a few months.

It was still raining heavily outside. After dinner, the rain didn't seem to lessen as Xiao Qian stayed behind.

Mama Ding took the two children to her room to rest while lying alone on the bed with Xiao Qian. Su Zhi was still a bit shy.

After washing up, she was the first to get into bed. She leaned against the wall and wrapped herself in a blanket as she squinted at him.

"What? Everything was fine before, but now you're feeling shy?"

"That's different. In the past, you were just a bedhead …"

Her voice trailed off until she buried her face in the covers and didn't dare look at him.

Xiao Qian took off his outer garment, leaving only a snow-white inner garment. Su Zhi clearly remembered that she had personally sewn this lining for him.

The material on his shirt was thin to begin with. He slightly opened his collar revealing half of his strong, wheat colored body, as well as a faintly discernible red bead …

This man's figure was simply impeccable. Su Zhi withdrew her peripheral vision and disappointedly swallowed her saliva. He was definitely doing it on purpose. He was just trying to be perverted. Lure her!
