Han Luoli finally shook off the grains of rice.
She pretended to cough lightly, but her face didn't change, and her heart didn't skip a beat, "Sister Sun, speaking of children, I think we'll have them very soon."
"Ah, really?!" Exclaimed with surprise, that swiftly turned into excitement, "That's wonderful, just wonderful, Sister Sun has finally waited to see you well! And you, not even telling Sister Sun ahead of time, today really took me by surprise and joy..." She said, wiping the tear at the corner of her eye.
"Sister Sun, all is well now... come on, eat some food..."
Hey, both of you, it's not about the child right now!
Gu Xiaoer looked at the master and servant who completely missed the point of her emotions, put down her chopsticks, and asked persistently, "Sister Sun, is Han Luoli very rich?"
Sister Sun couldn't help but laugh, "Silly child, can't you see it?"
Han Luoli silently sweated: Sister Sun, you really hit the nail on the head with one word. She indeed is foolish for not recognizing that he is a wealthy man.
Seeing Gu Xiaoer's eyes widen with confusion, Sister Sun continued without acknowledging the twists and turns, "Actually, it's all hard-earned money. Before meeting you, sir dedicated his entire life to work. He'd forgo sleep and food, go on business trips, and work hard. You may not see it, but only he knows how many nights he's toiled and how much his health has suffered!"
After saying this, Sister Sun cast a glance at Han Luoli, as if saying, "Sir, was I not speaking well? I know you won't chase after girls, so no need to thank me too much for helping you out!"
Girls would surely feel pained for their boyfriends after hearing this.
Han Luoli understood her sentiment and slightly curved his lips in satisfaction. Turning his head to look at Gu Xiaoer, he noticed she was gazing at him with an expression full of sympathy.
His heart suddenly felt tragic: This girl has definitely completely misunderstood!
"Da Luoluo... you really haven't had it easy..." You've worked so hard for so many years, your body must be hollowed out by now... she completely forgot her question had been brushed off lightly.
It's not what you're thinking! For the first time, Han Luoli tasted what it meant to have a tortured soul and couldn't voice his suffering; he held back and finally said coldly, "Indeed, it is so."
In the future, your husband will also make sure you "haven't had it easy."
"Miss Xiao Er, with you by sir's side, the late madam will finally have peace of mind..."
"Madam?"
"My mom." Spoken in a light tone, it was hard to discern any emotion.
Gu Xiaoer said "Oh," noticing he didn't want to elaborate further, she didn't ask more.
Right then, Sister Sun served her some garlic shrimp, "Miss Xiao Er, you must really love shrimp, right? Here, have some more!"
Gu Xiaoer smiled with her eyes curved, happy to have her favorite, "Sister Sun, just call me Xiao Er, I'm not that particular."
"You're such a tomboy!" Han Luoli laughed along.
"Hmph!" Having tasted the shrimp, soft and savory, the girl grinned in enjoyment, "This is so delicious! Sister Sun, you're amazing, knowing just what I love to eat."
"Cough, silly girl, it's not me who's amazing, it was sir who instructed me early in the morning." Sister Sun said, amused, looking at Gu Xiaoer who was simply likable with her unassuming demeanor, albeit a bit clueless. But that just made her more adorable, a perfect match for the serious and shrewd sir.
Thinking this, she heard the girl feigning anger at the only man present, baring her teeth, "Well, Han Luoli, you knew all along I was following you, didn't you!"
Then looking at her own master, who was not irritated but instead served that little one more food, "Why so many questions? Even eating can't keep your mouth shut."
"You're scolding me... Da Luoluo, you've changed... you weren't like this at my home..." Sounding terribly aggrieved.
Sister Sun was more delighted than ever; they were a perfect match, so very well-suited.
The first twenty-seven years of the master's life were spent in darkness, but now, at last, he could shed his burdens and start living his own life...
