Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 1968 - 1969: Cooperation

Pausing for a moment, Su Yixing spoke again, especially firmly: "I want to marry her. I want her to live in the same room with me. Let’s see if your father will have the nerve to separate a married couple by then!"

"So that’s how it is," Gong Le understood. Her smile grew wider. "But, Brother Star, didn’t you say you wanted to take it slow with her? What if she still doesn’t like you by then? Would you still marry her?"

"To prevent your father from separating me and her again, this is the only way." Only if he and Huo Qingyi became a couple would Gong Juechen not let Huo Qingyi leave him again.

"That’s true." Gong Le nodded. "After all, my father is your master. If Huo Qingyi becomes your wife, he definitely won’t do something so stupid to separate you two again."

Su Yixing also poured himself a cup of tea and drank, "You didn’t come just to say these things, did you?"

"Brother Star is really a smart person." Gong Le praised with a smile, then spoke directly, "If my father doesn’t reveal Qingyi’s whereabouts and is determined to hide her so that you can’t find her, Brother Star, even if I don’t say it, you know you won’t be able to find her in this lifetime. As the Young Master, you’re more aware of Slayer Tower’s capabilities than I am, but if you help me get together with Big Brother Qing sooner, even if we don’t get married, my father would probably take the initiative to tell you where Qingyi is."

Su Yixing knew that was indeed the case.

The reason he went out searching for four days and nights wasn’t because he held out hope of finding Huo Qingyi. He was just out to vent. He was angry that Huo Qingyi left him so obediently and easily.

But he also understood that Slayer Tower had been loyal for generations.

So, he was both angry and able to understand Huo Qingyi. Anyway, his mood was very restless, and he couldn’t stay at Slayer Tower headquarters, so he naturally had to go out for a few days to vent a little.

After spending four days and nights outside, he had completely calmed down. Only then did he stop aimlessly searching like a headless chicken and returned to Slayer Tower headquarters.

"How do you want me to help you?" He also knew that only when Gong Le didn’t marry him would his master tell him Huo Qingyi’s whereabouts. Plus, his third brother actually liked Gong Le too, so naturally, he had to help.

Gong Le smiled, "Just cooperate with me a bit more in the future."

"It seems you’re determined to provoke my third brother into realizing his feelings for you."

"How could that be," Gong Le slowly grinned again, "I’ve also prepared for the situation that if he still doesn’t realize it, I might just go ahead and make the cooked rice into a cooked meal with him."

Regarding this topic, they had already discussed it during New Year’s Eve, so Su Yixing didn’t say much more, but instead, he said, "I’ve already sent him a letter. He should receive it in the next few days."

...

The first to receive Su Yixing’s letter were An Jing and Xiao Changyi.

When An Jing saw the contents of the letter, she was momentarily stunned, then said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Is Star planning to dig a pit for himself to get buried in?"

Xiao Changyi was particularly calm, putting the letter away as he blandly said, "It’s just that he hasn’t gotten Qingyi’s heart yet. It’s nothing serious."

"For now?" An Jing chuckled, "Looks like you have a lot of confidence in our second son being together with Qingyi, huh?"

Xiao Changyi’s tone remained calm: "It’s not that I have confidence in them being together, I have confidence in our son. Star isn’t the type to give up on someone just because he can’t win their heart."

An Jing found it both amusing and admirable: "You really do understand our son."
