What did you mean?
You said Su Maomao's child is my biological daughter?
Du Yaoyao, are you out of your mind?
Turning his head to look at Yaoyao, Li Qianfan's face was as blank as if he had been sat on by President Jiao for seven or eight times, his eyeballs barely able to move.
Completely instinctively, he began to search his mind, when had he ever had any friendly interaction with Su Maomao?
None!
Then he looked at Yaoyao again.
After Yaoyao, feeling inexplicably disappointed (why are you with Jiao San and kicking me out?) and having a problem with her thought process, she impulsively revealed Su Maomao's secret and immediately regretted it.
Ha!
Yaoyao quickly laughed, "You actually believed it? I was lying to you!"
Phew.
I knew it.
The relationship between Su Maomao and me was as pure as ice and jade, flawless.
At most, she had made an unspeakable contribution to me when Meng Ma forced me to have a biopsy.
But that wouldn't get her pregnant.
Besides, Su Maomao was already pregnant before she made that contribution for me.
Counting back from her due date, I hadn't even gone to Lingnan then.
Li Qianfan muttered in his heart, bumping Yaoyao's forehead with the back of his head and threatening her, "If you ever say anything that ruins my reputation again, I'll show you. If I don't make you give birth to seven or eight little brats for me, turning you into a little sow, I won't rest until I'm done."
"Hate it!"
Yaoyao's face immediately flushed red, and she kicked Li Qianfan's legs with both feet.
"Alright."
Li Qianfan said, "Since we're out tonight, let's continue your pointless lamentations."
Li Qianfan, who believed his heart was as clear as a jade pot towards Su Maomao, turned away and forgot Yaoyao's nonsense.
Yaoyao also finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly began her pointless lamentations, "Speaking of my career, don't even mention it. Auntie Wu Jiang and Mom have already paved the way for me. I just need to work step-by-step in An Ren. When the time is ripe, I will be the Grand Steward of An Ren. Don't look at Helan Tingmei, who is now coveting the position of Steward. But my mother must have already made a plan to have her automatically disqualified when I get promoted."
Li Qianfan nodded.
Helan Tingmei's ambition to snatch Yaoyao's position as Grand Steward from Su Nanyin was wishful thinking!
"Especially since Jiao Yin has been successfully won over by you, thus avoiding the costly bloodshed that An Ren would have to pay in clearing out the Dark Web of the Eastern Continent. If I'm not mistaken, both you and Mom will attribute the credit for winning over Jiao Yin to me."
Yaoyao's voice was like orchids as she spoke, "Qianfan, what can Helan Tingmei do with her three heads and six arms to compete with me?"
Li Qianfan nodded again.
He truly felt sorry for Helan Tingmei—
"I am the future Grand Steward of An Ren!"
"My man is the Young Master of Longxu!"
"My mother-in-law is the God of War, Li Wujiang."
"My mother is the super scheming Su Nanyin."
Yaoyao suddenly raised her head, her suppressed roar was absolutely fierce and adorable, "Whatever I want, I get! By the age of 22, I have already obtained everything I desire! So what is the meaning of my life in the coming decades?"
This question, Li Qianfan truly didn't know how to answer.
"Qianfan, do you know?"
Yaoyao leaned on Li Qianfan's shoulder again, closed her eyes, and said as if in a dream, "When I was showering in the hotel, I casually looked up and saw my end. From my present to my end, it's a wide and smooth avenue, and even if I roll forward, there won't be many accidents."
She paused.
She said, "Suddenly, I was afraid. I was afraid I wouldn't know how to live, which would lead to suicidal thoughts. Then I would ruin the happy life we currently have and become a sinner to everyone."
Yaoyao's words were by no means pointless lamentations, nor were they sentimental.
After all, Yaoyao, who had been rigorously disciplined since childhood, was a girl with high expectations for herself.
But now—
She opened her eyes and said in a lighter voice, "Qianfan, if I were still in Lingnan fighting drugs; if I still hated you to the bone when I thought of you; if you didn't treat me so well, wouldn't that be better?"
Li Qianfan stopped in his tracks.
He looked up at the long street, at the occasional speeding cars, and still said nothing.
In a person's life, there are always many times of confusion.
Either because things are too smooth, and there is nothing to strive for.
Or because it's too difficult, and one realizes that no matter how hard they try, they cannot change their dire situation!
Yaoyao's current confusion was due to things being too smooth.
Li Qianfan was in the same state when he first left Lieyan Valley.
When you can have whatever you want, there is no motivation to strive, and the only outcome is to live a life of passive existence.
Only after Yang Xiao activated his original 209 did his life suddenly become rich and colorful.
But Li Qianfan didn't want the girl on his back to have a life that suddenly became as rich and colorful as his did.
"I feel like I'm a canary now."
Yaoyao spoke again, "Except I'm not confined to a cage, I can go wherever I want, do whatever I want. But I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay by Mom's, Maomaochong's, and your side. Besides my normal work, my greatest anticipation is to play cards with Maomaochong and Mom at night. Only at the card table do I feel a surge of passion."
Undoubtedly.
Yaoyao's life was what countless girls dreamed of but could not attain.
Yet she was gradually growing weary of it.
When a girl who was truly capable, unlike the useless Chonchong who was content with his lot, and moreover, was in the prime of her youth, considered playing cards her greatest anticipation, it proved she had become a walking dead person.
But Li Qianfan couldn't possibly ask her to start her own sect alone.
He could swear to heaven that if he made such a suggestion.
The great Empress would definitely strike him the most severe blow.
Hummm—
Just as Li Qianfan stood on the sidewalk, looking up at the distant long street, unsure how to persuade Yaoyao, a humming roar came from behind them.
He and Yaoyao turned their heads to look together.
They saw a sports car, leaving a dark blue afterimage under the streetlights, speed past them with a humming buzz.
They both instinctively looked ahead again.
A few hundred meters ahead was an intersection.
The sports car, speeding from east to west, had a green light.
Because it was midnight, there were almost no cars on the road, and the road was wide, and the light was green, so the sports car did not slow down at all when passing through the intersection.
An accident occurred—
Just as the sports car was about to dash through the intersection, a red sports car also came speeding from north to south!
The red sports car was clearly running a red light but did not slow down.
So, what would happen when two cars, both speeding at over 200 mph at the same time, met head-on at the same intersection?
A car crash.
It could only be a car crash that would result in the destruction of the cars and the death of their occupants!
Screeeech—
The two speeding cars, realizing something was wrong, braked sharply together.
Tires fiercely scraped the ground, and rolling white smoke rose.
Duang!!
Li Qianfan and Yaoyao watched with their own eyes as, with a loud bang, the front right side of the blue sports car collided fiercely with the front left side of the red sports car.
This was fortunate because both cars had excellent braking systems and were heavy enough to effectively brake and narrowly avoid the vital parts.
If the blue sports car had hit the red sports car head-on, across its middle, what would have been the result?
It would have been the tragic outcome of the red sports car being torn apart on the spot.
But even so, the red sports car rolled over with a loud bang.
Compared to the red sports car, which was hit on the side, the blue sports car was in much better condition.
The blue sports car simply spun 360 degrees in place for three and a half full rotations before stopping.
The next second—
Boom!
With a roar, the blue sports car quickly started up and soon disappeared at the end of the long street.
Hit and run.
Li Qianfan, who had witnessed all of this with his own eyes, blinked and asked Yaoyao on his back, "Do you still feel like life is boring now?"
Yaoyao mumbled in response, "Actually, living a simple, peaceful, and stable life seems pretty good too."
Smack!
Li Qianfan put Yaoyao down and then slapped her on the backside.
Ah!
Yaoyao cried out in surprise, quickly covering her backside with her hand, "What are you doing? I've told you many times, you're not allowed to touch my butt before I go to Li Family Village."
Li Qianfan raised his hand again.
Yaoyao quickly retreated, whimpering, "But you can touch me, touch other parts of me. For example."
For example, what?
"Shut up!"
Li Qianfan quickly told her to shut up, "Du Yaoyao, just be grateful! If you dare to be sentimental and complain pointlessly again, I'll beat you to death."
Li Qianfan cursed, shaking his sore left hand, and ran towards the crash site, "Quick, help me save people! Call 120."
"Stinky Qianfan, you really hurt me. Strange, why am I not confused anymore? Could it be that I'm like a broken car that needs a good knock?"
The cute Yaoyao mumbled, rubbing her butt with one hand, calling 120 with the other, and limping towards the intersection.
Yaoyao finally had an epiphany—
