Chapter 1944: Chapter 1945: Playing Dumb to Outsmart the Enemy

An Yiqing saw Gong Le looking particularly happy, and his mood lifted quite a bit. But noticing Gong Le’s eyes were still red, he couldn’t help but say, ”Don’t cry anymore. It doesn’t look good at all.”

”But my tooth really hurt just now,” Gong Le pouted pitifully.

”I think you should stop eating sweets. If you really get a cavity and lose your teeth, crying won’t help you then.”

Looking at all the sweets in the room, Gong Le bit her lip in dissatisfaction, but in the end, she reluctantly agreed without fully committing: ”I’ll try not to eat them at all.”

An Yiqing patted her head and joked, ”If all your teeth get cavities and fall out, no one will want to marry you.”

”Why not? There’s still Big Brother Qing,” Gong Le joked, looking at An Yiqing with a smile. If you paid close attention, you’d notice her grip on An Yiqing’s arm tightened a bit.

An Yiqing didn’t take Gong Le seriously, continuing to joke as he lightly knocked her head: ”Big Brother Qing plans to have three wives and four concubines one day. If that happens, your parents won’t agree to you sharing a husband.”

Gong Le thought to herself: As long as I’m around, you can forget about having three wives and four concubines.

On the surface, she stayed calm, smiling innocently, ”Big Brother Qing, Uncle Yi and Aunt Jing said that anyone from their family can’t have three wives and four concubines. You better not tell them your plan, otherwise they’ll surely educate you thoroughly.”

An Yiqing laughed, ”You don’t need to worry. They’ve already lectured me. I’m just thinking about it, not serious. Besides, I haven’t even met a girl I like yet, so it’s too early to talk about that.”

”Big Brother Qing hasn’t met a girl he likes? What about me? Am I not a girl?”

An Yiqing paused, then chuckled, ”What are you thinking? Of course, you’re a girl. Okay, let’s drop that topic, it’s boring. I wrote to your parents, and they should come in a few days. You’ll behave and go home with them then.”

”No! I want to stay with Big Brother Qing!”

An Yiqing wasn’t angry, ”When your parents arrive, if you can convince them to let you stay, then you can stay with me.”

Although he said this, An Yiqing believed that Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi would definitely not agree for Gong Le to stay in the Imperial City.

As soon as Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi arrive, they’ll surely take Gong Le back to the Slayer Tower. Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi are very annoyed by Gong Le clinging to him. Of course, they’re annoyed because he used to bully Gong Le a lot.

Even though he hasn’t bullied her much in the last two years, Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi are still displeased.

”So it’s settled, pinky swear!” Gong Le said happily, wanting to make a pinky promise with An Yiqing.

An Yiqing, convinced that Gong Le would be taken back to the Slayer Tower in a few days by Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi, readily made the pinky promise with Gong Le, thinking the matter was settled.

However, he had no idea that the person in front of him, who seemed a bit slow and naive, was actually not at all simple-minded, with scheming skills that even Su Yixing would envy.

After the pinky promise, An Yiqing remembered something: ”Your Brother Yun is sick today and didn’t go to court. Let’s go see him.”

”Okay, okay.”
