Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 981: With You Always (126)

"I don’t know if my dad would kill you, Uncle, but right now I really feel like killing you." Xingxing frowned tightly, "Wait here, don’t come in."

Tang Qingli didn’t listen to him and followed him in anyway.

Xingxing went straight to Tan Ruyue’s room, and upon finding her not inside, wandered around until he found her by a well.

"Tan Ruyue."

Tan Ruyue, who was struggling to draw water, turned her head and, upon seeing him, looked delighted, "You’ve come?"

"What are you doing?"

"Can’t you see, I’m fetching water." She was using a small bucket, Tang Qingli walked over and said, "Uncle will help you carry it. These people are something else, you’re so young, aren’t they afraid you’ll fall in?"

"It’s fine, I’m very careful."

"Let Uncle Tang carry it for you, come with me."

Tan Ruyue hesitated, "Isn’t that inappropriate?"

"It’s alright, just tell me where to carry it." Tang Qingli said.

"Uncle, over there." She pointed to a room with her finger, "That’s where the water jars are kept."

"Okay, you and Xingxing go and talk by that stone bench, don’t wander off."

Tan Ruyue nodded and went to sit down with Xingxing.

"Here, I brought you a lot of things." Xingxing handed her a tote bag, "It has delicious food and fun things inside, all for you."

Tan Ruyue looked inside, "Thank you, you’re really too kind to me."

Being praised, Xingxing felt pleased, "Besides me, no one else treats you well."

"You’re right, Xingchen, I shouldn’t have drawn that little turtle for you before, I apologize."

"I wasn’t any better." Xingxing gave her a smile, "In the future, tell me whatever you want to eat, I’ll bring it from home for you."

"Okay."

Tang Qingli was huffing and puffing as he hauled water with a large bucket, while those two little ones enjoyed their snacks and chatted not too far away.

There’s no harm without a comparison.

Tang Qingli took Xingxing home and told Long Yubei about the incident, to which Long Yubei gave him a line, "You’re not even as good as a child."

"That’s a hit to the heart, Young Master."

"Look at that, even with Xingxing being so small, he has girls to play with. Where’s your girl? Workaholic, all you do every day is work. Can’t you find a partner too?"

"I’m not looking for a partner, I want to devote my life to the Young Master."

"Could it be you like men?"

Tang Qingli scoffed arrogantly, "What kind of talk is this, Young Master? I’m very straight, alright? You’re really ungrateful; I run around for you and the Young Madam every day, worrying about this and that, almost like a housekeeper, and instead of helping me solve my personal issues, you suspect that I like men."

Long Yubei’s deep, black eyes filled with laughter, "How should I help you solve your personal issues? Arrange more singles parties for you?"

"Forget it, it’s boring, I’m going to work." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Not willing, huh."

"Not willing."

"Then what type do you like?"

"I’ll find one myself in the future, Young Master, don’t worry about it."

Feng Qinglian returned from the Demon World and locked himself in until evening.

Madam Feng saw he hadn’t come out and went in.

Seeing her son sitting silently by the bed, looking as if his soul had departed, she approached and asked, "Are you still troubled by Jun Xiangyi’s matter?"

Feng Qinglian didn’t say anything.

"You didn’t poison the Heavenly King today, saving his daughter can be seen as a form of redemption."

"Mother, I made a mistake."

Madam Feng heard his words clearly, "I’ve long told you not to marry Jun Xiangyi for Ming Lan’s revenge. Ming Lan’s death is just that; was it worth putting yourself at such great risk? It’s just a pity for the grandchild I never had, two lives lost."
