Chapter 1553 (1/2)
”Because...” Li Qing paused a little and looked gently at Lin Mengdie's glittering side face. ”She used to be like a rootless duckweed, but now it's different. Now she has roots. Anything rooted can't just go.”
Xinya still doesn't understand, but Li Qing has opened the door: ”let's go.”
”Oh.”
The two men walked out of the small hotel and got into the jeep parked at the door.
Li Qing raised her hand, rubbed her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xinya tilted her small head and looked at him: ”you seem very tired...”
”Er...” Li Qing gently tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Isn't this nonsense? As the saying goes, ”there are only tired cows, but no ploughed fields”. Now even Lin Mengdie is too tired to wake up. How can he not be tired?
”Cough.” Li Qingqing cleared his throat and directly started the car, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Xinya did not continue to struggle on this topic, but asked excitedly, ”where are we going?”
”Of course, I want to make money, or I can't even pay the room fee tonight.” Li Qing said carelessly, relieved.
”Are we going to work?” Xinya thought for a while with her pink cheeks. ”I can weave things and embroider. Is this useful?”
Li Qing couldn't help laughing and said, ”it's useless.”
”Ah?” Xinya lowered her head in frustration. ”Sorry, I'm useless...”
Li Qing couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and said, ”of course it's useless if we don't go to work. That way, it's too slow to get money. We have to rent a boat to go to sea. We just rely on working and hard work. We can't save enough money for a year.”
”Then how do you make money?” Xinya seemed to think of something. Her little face turned extremely pale and tears swirled around her eyes. ”Do you think I'm useless... Want to sell me?”
Li Qing turned her eyes: ”I said, even if I lost my life, I wouldn't lose you. Well, wipe your tears and cry again. What are you thinking about all day, little girl?”
”I'm scared to death. I'm most afraid you don't want me...”
”Don't think about it. How can I be willing to sell you?” Li Qing drove across the street and said slowly. ”I heard Du Huasheng mention that there is a very good casino in pengyou, so I want to try my luck.”
”Ah?” Xinya panicked again and held his clothes tightly. ”Don't go. My father only sold my sister because he gambled all day...”
Li Qing was slightly stunned: ”your sister?”
”HMM.” Xinya heavily ordered her little head. Bei's teeth bit her lips, and tears fell down again.
”Can you still find her?”
Xinya shook her head.
Li Qing stopped at the street, raised her hand and wiped away the crystal tears on her white cheeks. She whispered, ”don't worry, I won't do the same thing.”
”It's impossible to make money in that way. Ten bets and nine losses. Don't be cheated...”
”That's someone else, not me.” Li Qing pinched her soft little hand and smiled, ”don't you believe me after being together for so long?”
Xinya blinked her big eyes, still a little skeptical.
”Don't believe it?”
The little girl sniffed, ”I'm just a little worried...”
”Look.” Li Qing reached into his pocket, took out the platinum wedding ring and shook it in front of the girl. ”I only use this thing for gambling. If we lose all, we'll leave. Is that ok? Please, have a little confidence in me? Come on, smile and show me. It's a pity that our new elegance is so beautiful and our faces don't have a smile.”
The little girl was so amused by him that she burst out laughing, and then pretended to be serious and made a small face: ”you can't go back.”
”Well, never go back.”
”We pull the hook.”
”Good, good, pull the hook.” Li Qing smiled, stretched out her hand and hooked it with her white little finger, ”don't worry this time?”
After a pause, he added, ”we have a little trouble now. Next, we need to ask Xinya for help.”
”What's up?”
”We don't know the way.” Li Qing spread his hands, ”and I can't speak Malay. I can only ask you to get off and ask the way for me.”
”This is simple.” Xinya said sweetly, pushed open the door, got out of the car and walked into a small shop on the side of the road.
After a while, she jumped out of the shop, jumped into the car again, raised her little hand and pointed forward: ”go straight along this street, and then turn to the coast for another section. The casino is by the sea. It is said that the boss is also from Hong Kong.”
”Also from Hong Kong?” Li Qing started the car again and frowned gently. ”It should be a good sign to meet an old friend in a foreign land.”
