A year or two!
Sheng Shushu listened to his calm and inoffensive idea.
How dared he say that?
In a year or two, she would be living under his watchful eye. He would have had more than enough opportunities to do whatever he wanted.
By that time, would she really have evaded him, or would she have walked right into the lion's den?
Just as Sheng Shushu was about to speak up, Mrs. Xiao agreed, "That sounds good. Your uncle can also help you review for your exams. Your grades are sure to be excellent."
Sheng Shushu knew better than to shoot herself in the foot; she might as well have not opened her mouth at all.
But since she had already spoken, she couldn't back out on the spot, as that would seem too frivolous.
After much conversation, Mrs. Xiao finally turned to ask Li Luoshu, who had been sitting quietly by the side.
"Is he... your friend?"
Sheng Shushu nodded.
