When they saw Liu Yuan again, Su Zhi could still vaguely see the wound on his cheek. She silently cursed Lu Huan's words.

Seeing her first reaction, Liu Yuan bowed deeply, sincerely apologizing, ”I'm truly sorry for not being able to keep the hairpin that Little Su gifted me last time.”

Su Zhi hurriedly helped him up, indicating that she did not care, ”That thing is not worth much, I wonder which blind person would want it. Let them take it.”

”Aren't you angry? That is, after all, a keepsake. ”

Su Zhi was puzzled. Could it be that Liu Yuan had used the hairpin she had given him as a keepsake, and thus was exceptionally anxious after losing it? He couldn't possibly think that his unwillingness to marry was due to this hairpin incident, right?

This misunderstanding was quite funny. It seemed that being polite wasn't a good thing. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have given her that hairpin. Not only did he get beaten up, he even blamed himself for it.

”Big Brother Liu, I think you've misunderstood. I've never treated that hairpin as a keepsake. It's just not good for me to show you so many gifts for free.”

Last time, she hadn't prepared anything, but this time she made a lot of pastries for the children.

Sister Qing was afraid of living, so she hid behind Liu Yuan and didn't dare to take the pastries that Su Zhi had given her.

Liu Yuan sighed in disappointment. Sure enough, he had been overthinking things.

He forced a smile and took the pastry for the child, feeling sour in his heart.

Su Zhi could see his disappointment, so she didn't open her eyes to take care of him. She didn't know how to explain the unnecessary words.

The two of them remained silent, maintaining a subtle atmosphere.

Not long after, Dou Bao felt bored and shouted that she wanted to play on the ground. Su Zhi let her go and let A Jin and her sister play.

He turned around and said in a friendly manner to the timid child, ”Sister Qing, come and play with me as well.”

The little girl stared at A Jin and the bean bun and slowly walked over. The three children soon started playing with each other. It seemed that they were really friendly.

Liu Yuan gave a comforting smile and continued, ”Don't worry Little Su, I didn't bring my child here for any other reason, I just wanted her to have two more companions. I have no intention of forcing you to do anything. You don't have to feel that this is a burden. I liked you the first time I saw you, but I knew I shouldn't ask others for what I felt. I will give you enough time. Whether you reject it or not, it's your own business. No one will embarrass you. ”

His words caused Su Zhi to feel extremely ashamed.

She underestimated Liu Yuan's kindness, always thinking that he had brought the child with him to ask her for an explanation, to ask why she didn't agree to the marriage.

However, it seemed that he wasn't such a unreasonable person. Being able to personally experience what she was thinking was a trivial matter, but it was actually the place where he could see the true nature of a man.

”Big Brother Liu is kind, and Sister Qing is very well-behaved too. It seems like these three children might actually be able to have some fun together.”

”That's right. That child is always timid. I was afraid that she would have a bad temper due to boredom. Now, it seems that she really likes Little Dou Wu and A Jin.”

Looking at the three children playing together, a faint smile appeared on Su Zhi's face.

When Liu Yuan saw that Aunt Bai was starting to set the table, he went up to help her.

When Sister Qing saw that her father had left, she stood up to follow him. The marble in her hand fell to the ground as she accidentally kicked it out of the door.

Su Zhi smiled at her and comforted her, ”Don't be afraid, Aunt will go with you to pick it up.”

Sister Qing nodded slightly and followed Su Zhi out the door.

The marbles that were there just a moment ago had disappeared. An unexpected guest stood next to the door, staring at the bead in his hand as he muttered, ”What's so interesting about this broken bead? My Wang Mansion has a lot of beads from the South Sea.”

Su Zhi was stupefied, why … It was this god of pests again. What was he doing here?

She was worried about Liu Yuan's safety, but seeing that he came alone made her feel more at ease.

Lu Huan looked at Su Zhi's frightened expression, curled her lips, and said, ”You just called this prince blind?”
