Qiao Mu waited for a while, but Li Yan did not reply. He stared at her without admitting or denying, but his gaze made her hair stand on end.

Qiao Mu grinned. ” Uncle, since you’re not saying anything, I’ll take it that you’re tacitly agreeing!

Li Yan’s eyes darkened as he raised his eyebrows slightly. ” So? ”

Qiao Mu’s heart leaped with joy, and her eyebrows curved even deeper. She smiled like a little fox. ” So…” In the three years that I’ve been with Uncle, can you stand on my side and not let me be bullied by bad people?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Mu saw those black eyes darken a few degrees, making her heart tremble.

She swallowed nervously and emphasized, ‘”‘As long as I graduate in three years and have a job, I’ll be able to rely on myself. I’ll leave the Qiao family and never be afraid of being bullied by my stepmother again!”

Li Yan’s eyes turned cold. ” When the time comes, will you get rid of me just like how you got rid of the Qiao family? ”

Qiao Mu was stunned. They had agreed on a three-year deadline, and when the time came, they would just break up. Was there a need to get rid of them?

Qiao Mu licked her dry lips and whispered, ‘”‘Uncle, isn’t it a little inappropriate to discuss this now? I’m your woman now, so you have the responsibility to protect me.

Li Yan had experienced the little thing’s eloquence before. She clearly had a favor to ask of her, but she said it as if it was his duty. It was as if he was really wrong if he did not do as she said.

Qiao Mu actually couldn’t figure out Li Yan’s personality. She stared at him with her big eyes, waiting for his response.

At this moment, the butler came over with the porridge. Li Yan glanced at him indifferently. ” Drink the porridge. ”

“You haven’t agreed yet…”

Qiao Mu was just about to retort when the man’s warning gaze swept over. Qiao Mu immediately shut her mouth and obediently ate her porridge on the coffee table.

Qiao Mu had no appetite at all as she drank the plain porridge. She looked up at Li Yan and could not help but say, “”Uncle, can I have a normal meal?”
