"... the two ducklings left the cave and returned home safely." after reading the story, Li Qing thought about it for a while, and forced a sentence at the end of the story, "then they were plucked by their master and stewed a big pot happily..."

"Give it to me." Xie Yuyan stretched out his jade hand and stared at Li Qing unhappily.

"I just added one sentence," Li Qing said with a smile. "I still think it should be the finishing touch."

"That's how you usually tell children stories?"

Li Qing scratched his head and was a little embarrassed: "I've never talked about it."

Xie Yuyan snorted coldly and grabbed the story book in his hand. After a slight pause, she spoke again: "I heard uncle Yunkang say that you have not been idle lately."

"People will be idle only when they die," said Li Qing. "I just went to the Qi family residence this morning. It seems that the old guy Qi Yiping is about to be idle."

"You seem to be looking forward to his death?"

"I'm afraid it's just a villain's heart to have such an idea, but since you asked, I don't want to lie." Li Qing answered the question in a circle. "From a personal point of view, Qi Yiping's existence is a threat to me. He is an older generation, too difficult to deal with."

Xie Yuyan asked coldly, "young people are easy to deal with?"

"Young people are not easy to deal with." Li Qing leaned forward slightly and stretched out three fingers to Xie Yuyan, "but if it were three? It would be easier."

Xie Yuyan shook his head slightly: "do you still expect the whole family to have internal strife? Don't be delusional. The feelings of their three brothers are far from what you think."

Li Qing couldn't help shaking her head: "I don't believe it. After all, people are separated from each other. Can it really be a piece of iron? As long as there is a little gap, I can pry it open."

"You Li family are in a mess, intriguing within the family and taking care of themselves, so do you think other people's families are the same as you?" Xie Yuyan sneered on his cheek. "But you mean to break up with the whole family?"

"They deceive people too much, but I resist passively." Li Qing looked at Xie Yuyan and said, "do you have any intention to tell me?"

"No." Xie Yuyan wrapped the thin blanket on his body, with a faint tone like a bowl of white water, "I'm waiting to sit and reap the benefits."

"You won't be so heartless?" Li Qing twitched slightly in the corners of her eyes and stroked Xie YuYan's high and swollen belly. "You still have our baby in your belly. I'm killed. Isn't it good for you?"

"It's no good for me if you don't get killed, isn't it?" Xie Yuyan stretched out his white jade hand and gently stroked Li Qing's cheek. "Do you think coming to Xie's residence once in a while can make me feel pity for you? Li Qing, if something happens again this time, you'll die yourself, and no one can save you."

Li Qing's pupil suddenly shrunk: "is it so serious?"

"I'm teasing you. It's not so serious." Xie Yuyan smiled at the corners of his lips. "The person who saved you has arrived in Lingang. You'll see her soon."

"Why can't I understand you?" Li Qing looked blankly. "Rain and smoke, don't go around in circles. Can you say something directly?"

I love to see as like as two peas in your head when you see me in the shower.

Li Qing humed: "your metaphor is also appropriate. When I encounter something difficult to understand, I usually look confused. For example, I was surprised to see you take a bath. My chest is flat like a kitchen board. How can I expect nothing below..."

"I was only fifteen years old." Xie YuYan's pretty face changed slightly, and immediately corrected very seriously, "a fifteen year old girl, what can you see?"

"Oh, yes, but I was too young and inexperienced..."

Xie Yuyan suddenly stretched out his jade hand, grabbed Li Qing's ear and said with a smile: "now you finally admit that you were peeking?"

"It's just at the right time. I didn't plan in advance, but only made a temporary intention, so I showed my foot." Li Qing grinned awkwardly, "then I'd like to ask you if you liked me at that time?"

Xie Yuyan stared at Li Qing and smiled, "I never liked you."

"Really?"

"Really."

Li Qing suddenly put her hands on Xie YuYan's lower abdomen and said seriously to her high and bulging abdomen: "son, listen clearly, your mother is lying."

Xie Yuyan whispered, "Li Qing, are you too confident in yourself? Do you really think that all women in the world will fall in love with you?"

"Rain and smoke." Li Qing suddenly raised his head and asked solemnly, "do you remember the immortal ancient building in Longxi?"

"Why did you suddenly mention this?"

"I remember very deeply. I know how you feel about me. You can't fool me."

After a moment of silence, Xie Yuyan turned his head and said, "since you know, why ask. It's meaningless to be inferior."

"You are an elegant guest. Maybe you don't say anything. But I'm a layman. I have to speak clearly and understand everything."

Xie Yuyan glanced at Li Qing: "you are confused."

"Li Qing, you just love to be serious." Xie Yuyan said reluctantly, "do you think you are innocent, and other people in the world are as clean as you? If you can't avoid it, don't rush. Without you, the trees are as branching and the bamboo is as jointing. No one can stop and die."

Li Qing's eyes showed a trace of ignorance: "rain and smoke, I don't understand what you mean."

"Of course you don't understand. If you understand, it won't be you." Xie Yuyan waved her hand to the distance. Immediately, two servants bowed their heads and walked closer to help her up from the chair.

"I'm going to have a rest. Help yourself."

Xie Yuyan said faintly. With the help of the two servants, he entered the house and threw Li Qing out alone.

Frowning for a moment, Li Qing shook her head helplessly and turned to leave.

This woman is good at stirring his heart. She often makes amazing remarks and doesn't make it clear. He can only guess it slowly. Li Qing felt a little annoyed, but she was willing to be abused like this.

Li Qing left Xie's residence. According to the original plan, Li Qing should pick up Lin Qiuqiu and an Qing for dinner. But it's only three o'clock in the afternoon. It's too early.

He drove to the outside of Gangbei international building, parked at the side of the road, and then under the huge billboard pasted by Xue Yuexin.

Li Qing opened the window and let the cold wind blow in. During this time, he cleaned up his thoughts.

Xie Yuyan mentioned today that a person who can save himself has come to Lingang, and the two sides will meet soon. Who will it be?

Li Qing raised her hand and rubbed her temples. She couldn't understand it. Not only did he not know where the important figure came from, but also what the crisis in Xie YuYan's heart meant. If their conflicts with the Qi family escalate, is it really possible to drag the Li family into the abyss of extinction?

At this moment, Li Qing finally felt afraid. He really couldn't afford to gamble. After taking over the whole family, he entrusted countless people's lives on his shoulders, which was no longer as magnanimous as in those days.

His thoughts were intermittent, sometimes confused and sometimes sober. Unconsciously, it was five o'clock in the afternoon. Li Qing took out his mobile phone and called Lin Qiuqiu.

"Where have you been? Anqing and I will finish our work right away. We may get off work earlier today."

Hearing Lin Qiuqiu's pleasant voice, Li Qing's tight heart gradually calmed down: "I'm right outside. You can see my car as soon as you get out of the gate."

"Ah, you've arrived? Wait for more than ten minutes, and we'll come out right away."

"HMM." Li Qing answered softly and hung up.

After waiting in the car for more than ten minutes, he saw Lin Qiuqiu and anqing hurried out of the Gangbei International Building and walked in their direction.

Li Qing reaches out and pushes open the door on the other side. Lin Qiuqiu and an Qing come closer and sit in the car.

"Are you busy today?"

"It's all right." Lin Qiuqiu answered casually, "Anqing and I ate a little at noon. Now we are super hungry."

"Let's go to dinner right away. I happen to be hungry too." Li Qing smiled. "What do you want to eat?"

Lin Qiuqiu stretched out her hand and pointed forward: "the restaurant in front of this street tastes good. I'm too hungry today. I don't want to waste my time, so I'll eat there."

"OK." Li Qing nodded, immediately started the car and went in the direction of Lin Qiuqiu's fingers.

This is just a trivial matter. According to Li Qing's original plan, he should have driven anqing back to his new home after three people had finished eating, and then returned to Li's residence with Lin Qiuqiu. End the day's fatigue with a warm family life.

However, the development of the world often exceeds personal expectations.

Li Qing walked into the restaurant and sat down in a remote corner. When Li Qing orders, Lin Qiuqiu sees mu rouer.

"Eh, it's miss rou'er." Lin Qiuqiu pulled Li Qing's arm and said with a smile.

Li Qing raised her head and looked in the direction Lin Qiuqiu pointed out. It happened that mu rouer's eyes were also projected. Her four eyes were relative and she couldn't help being embarrassed.

It's very close to Gangbei international. Several people work in a group company. It's not surprising to meet here.

Lin Qiuqiu first suggested, "let's sit over."

"This..." Li Qing hesitated, "OK?"

"What's wrong..." Lin Qiuqiu turned her big eyes and walked first with anqing with her bag. They talked happily with mu rouer, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, which surprised Li Qing.

I don't know if it's because of the involvement between Li Qing and mu rouer since childhood, Lin Qiuqiu seems to be more friendly to her, and when facing Xie Yuyan, she can't help surging up the strong hostility between women. This huge contrast of different attitudes sometimes makes Li Qing cry and laugh.
