“Heh…” Nice? What use is being nice? Didn’t he end up with a broken family! In this world, only by being bad can one survive safely.
“Big brother—Ling’er—Wuu—” I nestled in, targeting his solid chest.
“Okay, you’re… Ling’er, right? Stop crying.” He patted my back to comfort me.
“Then—Big brother kiss Ling’er, and Ling’er won’t cry!” I shamelessly pushed forward, pursing my pink little mouth.
The black-clad young boy was speechless. “Does the big brother not like Ling’er?” I pouted, ready to cry.
The handsome guy quickly kissed my cheek and then blushed, pushing me away: “I, I’m going back.”
“Woo—— Big brother kissed Ling’er and then doesn’t want Ling’er anymore—— Ling’er is abandoned—— Woo woo——” I watched with satisfaction as he walked back dejectedly.
“Okay, don’t cry, what else do you want?” He seemed frustrated.
“Kiss me again. The last one was too quick; I didn’t feel anything.”
Seeing he didn’t respond, I took it as tacit consent. I pursed my lips and kissed him again.
“Oh yeah—— Stamp of approval!” I happily hugged his neck.
“You——” He angrily pushed me away, glaring at me.
“Big brother, you kissed Ling’er, so you must take responsibility! You must come and marry me!” I hung my jade necklace around his neck, speaking seriously.
After a moment, I forcefully removed his jade pendant with a flying phoenix and hung it around my neck: “This is our engagement token; we are husband and wife now.”
Leng Ruohan watched as I hung the necklace on him, declaring it an engagement token.
“Ruohan—— Ruohan——” Just as he was about to snatch it back, Wu Shu’s voice came from a distance.
Wu Shu, a friend of Leng Ruohan’s father, rescued him from a fire and took care of him at the Shi residence for the past two years. “Father,” Leng Ruohan said respectfully, viewing Wu Shu as a second father whose guidance in martial arts and morals shaped him from a naive young master into someone more capable.
“Go help in the main hall. Tomorrow is the young miss’s first birthday, and the Emperor is said to be arriving. The residence is busy, so don’t just stand around,” Wu Shu said, patting him on the back.
