However, Xie Lingzhi felt uncomfortable looking at Han Yi’s two children. Her son has been divorced for so long, yet still hasn’t found a situation. Over the years, she has introduced many matches to him, but he doesn’t even take a glance.
And then there’s Tao Jia, she’s divorced, she could find anyone else, yet she insists on being with those n from the i Family. Watching them loiter in front of her and her son every day makes her feel as though she has swallowed a fly, uncomfortable and disgusted.
i Langchi looked at Han Yi’s kids, remaining calm on the surface, yet feeling uneasy inside. So, in recent days, he hasn’t been ho at all; instead, he frequented familiar places to unwind.
The place he visited was the ho of Li Xiao’ai. In the past few years, whenever i Langchi had free ti, he would co here. Now, Li Xiao’ai no longer treats patients, the pocket money i Langchi gives her is far more than she would earn in a month of hard work.
She understands what n desire, so ever since being with i Langchi, she stopped taking jobs outside and stays calmly at ho each day.
Li Xiao’ai is also soone who loves life; her small courtyard is always kept clean and well-planned, with spaces for growing vegetables and flowers. Whenever she has free ti, she enjoys making various foods.
Every ti i Langchi visits here, he feels particularly relaxed, and Li Xiao’ai, being tactful, never asks about his matters outside. Occasionally, when i Langchi is unhappy, she acts as his confidante.
That’s why i Langchi has been willing to co to her place over the years.
When i Langchi arrived, Li Xiao’ai could tell he was in a bad mood and did not approach him to talk. Instead, she busied herself preparing a cup of his favorite tea, then simply sat beside him, silently accompanying him.
As i Langchi drank his tea, he suddenly said, "Xiao’ai, how about marrying ? Give a child."
Li Xiao’ai was surprised; she had never thought i Langchi would say such words one day. She has always been aware of her position.
Over these years, she learned sothing about i Langchi’s family, but she never harbored illusions.
"That might not be good; I’m afraid your parents wouldn’t agree."
"They don’t need to ddle in my affairs. Besides, after we get married, let’s move to Shenzhen. We’ll have one or two children and live a good life."
"Okay." She certainly wished for i Langchi to marry her. After being with him for so long, she also wanted to stand openly by his side and bear him children.
"Alright, I’ll prepare, and we’ll leave in a few months. What kind of house do you want?"
"One like this, where I can grow flowers and vegetables, that’s enough." She has never been the kind of woman who is vain; she just wants a ho of her own. Perhaps i Langchi didn’t et her earlier, but they encountered each other at the right ti, and that’s good.
She doesn’t care how many won i Langchi has had before, but she is determined to be the last woman in his life.
...
The old man of the i Family sched his whole life, calculating against everyone in the family, but in the end, he was the one caught in his own trap. He simply overestimated himself, never considering the unpredictability of life.
The day after everything was settled, Chen Haichang ca leisurely to the courtyard to see them. They had t often over the years, and Chen Haichang, now in his thirties nearing forty, was still single. In his words, being free alone.
"So, when are you leaving?"
"Just finished up, it’s not like we can leave imdiately. It’s a pity you didn’t co this ti." Liang Qian chid in.
"Hmm, it is regrettable not having seen the old man’s final mont. I heard he died of anger?"
Chen Haichang’s bluntness took them by surprise, leaving them unsure how to respond. It was the truth, although it sounded unpleasant when spoken aloud.
"Third Uncle, I heard you funded the building of a primary school last year. Let know next ti if there’s sothing like this; I plan to contribute my resources to those in need." Although i Lang Jun acquired these things, he didn’t intend to keep them for himself. He considered it his way of accumulating virtue for his grandfather.
"Sure, I heard there are places in the mountainous areas lacking roads, yet with local goods unable to be sold. I’m planning to sponsor them, build so roads, then purchase their goods and set up an export company. Interested in joining? We’ll work together."
