What kind of gaze was this? The deep black eyes were filled with a biting chill!
The thin lips pursed tightly, like a hawk standing proudly on a mountain in the darkness of night, cold, aloof, and yet bearing an air of solitary defiance against the world!
As Liu Sisi’s eyes met those cold, star-like hawk eyes, the man’s arms crossed over his chest, raising an eyebrow arrogantly.
A complete stance of confidence and control!
Such demeanor made Liu Sisi shudder, and she hurriedly pulled down the carriage curtain to block out the view outside.
Why is Zuo Xingyu here?
Could it be that he was waiting here specifically for her to pass by?
She had said clearly before that the next time they met, he should have thought about the price he needed to pay before showing up. Could it be he had found that price to pay within such a short time?
She couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s wrong, Sisi? What’s outside the carriage?”
Di Yelei asked curiously, and as he spoke, he reached out to pull the curtain open…
“No! Nothing, Ye Lei, really, there’s nothing!”
Liu Sisi became flustered for a moment, hurriedly looking out the curtain that Di Yelei had pulled, only to see that the figure leaning against the stone pillar by the roadside had disappeared, as if it had never been there at all.
Di Yelei looked suspiciously from side to side before finally lowering the curtain.
He glanced casually at Liu Sisi, whose panicked expression made his face darken slightly, but he didn’t expose her little secret.
“It’s fine, let’s go.”
The swaying carriage continued on, with the two unusually quiet passengers lost in their own thoughts and falling silent.
When they arrived home, it was already dark. As they entered the house, a fragrance of cooked dishes wafted through the air.
“Mom! Ying’er is so hungry, I feel like I could eat a whole cow!”
The moment she returned home, Ying’er was back to her innocent self, clearly feeling stifled during their time at the official residence.
“Fine! Our Ying’er shall have a cow to eat later!”
Di Yelei laughed heartily, lifting her up and holding her high above his head as they entered the house.
Bowls of food had already been prepared in the house. Elderly Mr. Di was standing at the courtyard door, continuously stretching his neck to look out. Seeing them entering the courtyard, he got up and walked inside, leaning on his crutch with a wobbly gait.
In the kitchen, sitting beside the bonfire stirring the pot was none other than Liu Zhi’er. Da Mao sat quietly by her side, not making any noise.
Seeing the four of them return, she smiled and said, “The food is already cooked. I also made a pot of Laba Porridge, you can choose what you want to eat.” Her voice was still very hoarse.
“Second Sister, you’re not healed, why aren’t you resting in bed? I can do this work myself.”
Liu Sisi quickly approached, ready to take over.
“It’s okay, this is much more leisurely than what I used to do.”
The words of Liu Zhi’er were indifferent, and there was no sorrow in her voice when mentioning the past.
“That’s good too… ”
