Mr. Xiao didn't want to force the baby girl in front of him, but they had such an eldest grandson in the family, how could he remain indifferent? Since the child doesn't want to be a bad person, then let him do it.

All the sins will be shouldered by this old man.

"Girl Li, just think of me as grandpa begging you. Please take pity on our little friend." His words suddenly changed, with a compromise that was helpless at this age, "Even if it's just a romantic relationship for him, as long as he lives , I will obey you in everything, okay?"

His words were like huge rocks smashing into Li Zhi's originally peaceful heart.

Ripples spread out in circles.

Her ears were buzzing, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. The elder in front of her reminded her of her grandfather. He was not wrong, but he was just a grandfather who loved his grandson.

"Let me think about it."

After all, Li Zhi had no way to reject the old man in front of her right away. She hoped that the people under her command could develop the medicine as soon as possible, so that she and Xiao Huaishi could at least untie the shackles of the medicine on their bodies first.

Mr. Xiao did not force her, "Good boy, after all, it is me, the old man, who is making things difficult for you."

He stood up from the chair on crutches and bowed to her without saying anything. Li Zhi was so frightened that she stood up immediately. She knew very well who the elder in front of her was. How could she dare to bear this kind of behavior from him? Bowing, "Mr. Xiao, don't be like this, I can't bear this from you."

Invisible pressure trapped her around the tea table.

She sat upright on the chair next to the tea table and didn't notice Mr. Xiao's gaze when he left. How could she not know that the old man was putting her on the fire to roast her.

But when you think of a person like Xiao Huaiji, no matter what he does, at least to ordinary people, his existence is meaningful. If it was really because of her that he became an emotional beast, the remaining conscience in her heart would still be uneasy. Perhaps, she should talk to Xiao Huaishi first.

The servant took Li Zhi outside Xiao Huaishi's room.

Today is Xiao Junnian's birthday.

As an elder brother, it is impossible for him to still be resting in the room at this time, unless...

Li Zhi opened the door and went in. The person inside seemed to have known that she had come. He was half-sitting on the bed, with the quilt pulled to his stomach. He was wearing a black cotton nightgown, and there were still some unhealed wounds on his face. The wounds looked as broken as battle damage.

"Ahem, you're here." Xiao Huaizhi suppressed the sweetness in his throat and said calmly to the woman at the door, "I'm really sorry, I can't greet you in person. The room is a bit messy, you're right over there. Sit on the sofa, I am sick and have a cold, so I will inevitably infect you if I get close."

He doesn't like servants coming to his house, so he basically cleans it himself.

He had been on a mission some time ago, and he was injured again when he finally came back. The house had indeed not been cleaned for a long time, but it was not messy, but he still felt a little nervous.

Li Zhi could see his chest under his nightgown, which was wrapped with thick bandages. It looked like he was seriously injured. The man who used to be cold and distant now looked a little softer now.

Today was the first time they met after leaving the island. From the moment they came in, Li Zhi felt a tingling sensation in her body. She knew it was a reaction to the medicine.

If she hadn't known that there was no such thing as "gu worm" in modern society, she might have really doubted whether her and Xiao Huaizhi's bodies had been filled with such unscientific items, which would have caused... As soon as two people meet or stay together in the same environment for a long time, their bodies will react.

Xiao Huaizhi, who was already injured, noticed the changes in his body. His face turned pale and red. He bent one leg to cover up the panic in his body. After taking a few deep breaths to adjust his heart rate, he raised his eyes. Looking at the woman on the sofa opposite, I haven't seen her for a long time, and she has become much more beautiful.

Loving people is like growing flowers. Even Xiao Huaizhi had to admit that Tan Jiuzhou really took good care of Li Zhi.

"How are you doing during this time?"

"Well, it's fine."

"That's good, cough, cough, cough."

A strong cough sounded again. Xiao Huaizhi's injuries were much more serious than Li Zhi expected. She wanted to leave first, but Mr. Xiao's words just now echoed in her ears. Her temperament was not the selfless one, and towards Tan Jiuzhou , she didn't give up even in such a predicament, and now she won't give up the man who loves her deeply because she feels sorry for other men.

After repeating everything Mr. Xiao said to Xiao Huai, she asked him, "Xiao Huai, what do you think? Can you still stand it?"

"Of course, I can stand it." The man concealed the bitterness in his heart and smiled at her, "Don't take my grandfather's words to heart. He just feels sorry for me and has no other ill intentions."

Li Zhi responded, "Yes, I know."

Because she also had a grandfather who always loved her, so although she was shocked by Mr. Xiao's previous words, she was not angry. To put it bluntly, they were all elders who cared about their grandchildren.

Xiao Huaizhi told him that he would handle this matter, and he would continue to interrogate Gong Xunzhen, and what she needed to do was to let her researchers work out how to unlock the drugs in the two people's bodies as soon as possible. The antidote, "Miss Li, you don't need to feel any burden. This matter is not your fault."

He could see the confusion in her heart.

What a man who is good at observing people's hearts.

Li Zhi shook his head, "Xiao Huaizhi, I am not as kind and great as you think. I can't wait to unlock the medicine in our bodies now, but I just want to marry the person who loves me and whom I love earlier." It’s just a man. We have been engaged for a long time, and it’s time to get married.”

After hearing the meaning of her words, Xiao Huaizhi's heart seemed to stop for a moment.

It turned out that she didn't want to marry the man she loved with a medicine that might entangle her with him for the rest of her life. If she had shown greater kindness, Xiao Huaizhi would have been unable to let go of her, but it was her frankness that allowed him to see her unreserved love for another man.

For a moment, I felt strong envy in my heart.

How I wish...that man is me.

Thinking of the man he had met once, Xiao Huaizhi felt that Li Zhi and him were really compatible.

That day, as soon as he arrived at the Hong Kong City Airport, Tan Jiuzhou sent someone to pick him up. After a series of examinations and blood extraction, he had a short conversation with him.

Xiao Huaizhi once asked Tan Jiuzhou, what if he really had a relationship with Li Zhi? Asking himself, he couldn't completely ignore such a thing even if his and Tan Jiuzhou's identities were exchanged. What's more... he and Li Zhizeng disappeared together for three months.

Apart from those useless surveillances, only Xiao Huaizhi and Li Zhi know what happened.

He asked Tan Jiuzhou, "You have never doubted that she lied to you?"

How did that dignified and proud man respond?

Xiao Huaizhi may never forget it in his life, so he asked him so casually, "So? So what if she lied to me, she survived, didn't she?"
