”Uncle Xiao, that uncle was invited by Grandma Bai. He's going to be A-Jin's stepfather.”

When Xiao Qian heard this, his tiger body shook and a wave of nameless fire rushed up to his head.

When he saw the child's wronged expression as if he had been abandoned, the anger in his heart had yet to subside, but his heart softened a bit.

”I heard from the big brother Shen next door that mother wouldn't love my sister and me anymore if she found her stepfather. Uncle Xiao, what happened to A Jin? ”

Xiao Qian himself also felt baffled. It really wasn't easy for a woman like Su Zhi to drag two children around. It was normal for her to look for her husband. However, for some reason, he was just angry for no reason at all. Even he himself did not understand.

”A Jin is not afraid, your mother has always loved you, she will not change her mind.”

A Jin was on the verge of tears as she refused to believe Xiao Qian's words of comfort. ”If that's the case, then if mother and uncle had a baby brother, would they still like A Jin this much?”

Xiao Qian couldn't guarantee this.

It wasn't so much that he didn't dare to guarantee it, but rather that he wasn't willing to see Su Zhizhen's second marriage.

Today, Japan came to see the two children. She didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence.

Xiao Qian comforted the depressed children as he felt the two children's gifts in his arms. He felt a bit disappointed.

Su Zhi couldn't see A Jin, and worried that something might happen to her child. She came back to look for him, but seeing that Xiao Qian hadn't left yet, she hugged A Jin who wanted to cry but had no tears to comfort him.

She thought it was strange. Little Dou Zi was clearly the child who relied on Xiao Qian the most. How come A Jin's mood had also changed today?

”A Jin, don't disturb the general's official business, come over quickly.”

The last time Xiao Qian had helped to find the child, Su Zhi hadn't had the time to thank him. Coincidentally, it was inconvenient today, so she couldn't keep him any longer.

Unexpectedly, the child in the man's arms didn't listen to him. He whispered in his ear, ”A Jin doesn't like that uncle of hers. She doesn't want him to be my father.”

Xiao Qian was surprised for a moment. His expression was strange. He felt both amused and helpless.

”Jin, come here.”

Su Zhi could not understand Xiao Qian's expression, and she did not know what the child had said to him. Afraid that it would make him unhappy, she went up and pulled A Jin away.

”Sorry for the trouble, General. I didn't expect that in the future, we will be neighbors. When General Qiao Qian comes, this humble woman will definitely bring her child to congratulate you.”

Xiao Qian looked at her with a complicated expression as he shook his head. ”It's not a big deal. We just have a new house. In the future, our two children will be much closer to each other.”

Su Zhi really didn't understand the meaning behind Xiao Qian's actions. The houses bestowed by the royal family would definitely be extremely luxurious, yet he had already prepared them for her and wanted to create a new house for her? New and new, but he had to pick this place again.

Spring Leaf Alley was inferior to the Royal City in any aspect. After all, under the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Xiao Qian held a high position of authority. There was no need for him to fight over a place with a lowly official. Even if he liked quiet and quiet places, there were still plenty of good places around.

”General, you have not thanked me for helping this humble woman find the bean bag last time. ”Let's wait for you to come to the courtyard, then we'll have to trouble you.”

”You're welcome.”

His expression was indifferent, and his slightly raised eyelashes covered the profoundness in his eyes.

Su Zhi nodded and brought A Jin through the door, leaving Xiao Qian alone.

He was accompanied by the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry. Seeing that he was busy greeting people, he looked at the terrain and ran over to report, ”General, are you sure you want to choose this place?”

The subtext is, this place is really not very good, you be careful.

Xiao Qian turned around and looked at the barren land behind him.

”Since the construction has already begun, we will leave it here. I will have to trouble you with the rest.”

”General is too polite.”

In the end, Xiao Qian decided to set up the house here. Even though the Assistant Minister of Work didn't understand General Xiao's intentions, he still didn't dare to neglect his work.

Compared to the confusion of the others, Madam Xiao was more meticulous. She immediately understood what her grandson meant and slapped the table in anger.

Xiao Qian wandered alone in Spring Leaf Lane for a while. Since he could not see Su Zhi, he could only ride his horse back to his house.

Not long after they entered the courtyard, the personal attendant came in to report that the madame had an invitation.
