Chapter 716: Chapter 716 When will you marry me?
And her parents had never discussed such matters in front of her.
So she knew nothing at all about what they had experienced, even before they were married.
After her rebirth, she unexpectedly learned of her sister and Xiaoâaiâs existence, getting caught up in the excitement without delving into the backstory of these developments.
The sister she had never met was no longer in this world, and the legendary brother had never appeared in her life.
After her parents passed away, in this world, the only person related to her by blood was Xiaoâai.
Therefore, she would do everything possible to take good care of her.
Fox listened, and shook its tail.
Although it wasnât quite what it wanted to know, at least it could now confirm the relationship between Xiaoâai and herself.
Fox thought for a moment and said, âI have a way we can try.â
âWhat way?â
âListen to meâŠâ
The two discussed how to handle it in the space.
Outside the space, a pair of eyes intently stared at the empty spot before them.
When their legs went numb and their body shivered uncontrollably, finally, the person who had disappeared reappeared out of thin air at the same spot.
Su Shu with Fox went to find Xiaoâai.
After walking a bit, Fox suddenly twisted its head to look back.
Su Shu asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing, just sensing a familiar smell.â
âLetâs go.â
Behind them, the person hiding in the darkness dared to breathe only after a long while.
Their heart surged like tempestuous waves, unable to believe what they saw.
Such a special occurrence!
Who exactly is it?
Or are they not human?
Unsure if they were shocked or excited.
After standing there for a while, the person who unexpectedly discovered the secret quietly left.
When Su Shu and Fox returned, Ji Dong was holding Xiaoâai, trying hard to tell her some pleasing stories to ease her anxiety.
Xiaoâai, obediently sitting in his embrace, looked up attentively at his face, listening intently, not even noticing Su Shuâs return.
Su Shu, watching this unusually warm scene, felt unexpectedly teary-eyed.
Unsure if it was the beauty of the scene or the phrase Xiaoâai had once said, a picture she had never seen suddenly burst forth from her mind.
It seemed, it was another place.
A similar scene, that felt so familiar.
Ji Dong still looked the same, a severe expression on his face, but his eyes very gentle.
But the person in his arms wasnât Xiaoâai, the litttle girl, but a very beautiful young woman.
With long, shiny, black hair, lightly waved, cascading down her back, her strands twined around Ji Dongâs clean fingertips.
Similarly, the young womanâs delicate face was tilted upward, listening intently and relaxedly to Ji Dong telling a story.
From time to time, the young woman would laugh.
Her face was lively and charming, and Ji Dongâs gaze immediately softened like water.
Su Shu thought she heard the young womanâs bell-like voice asking the man.
âUncle Ji, Xiaoâai is already sixteen, when will you take me home?â
âStop teasing, you called it wrong.â
The young womanâs laughter rang out.
âBrother Ji.â
âWait till you grow a bit more.â
âIf I grow more, youâll be older, no please.â
Ji Dong smiled gently, âI wonât, I wonât age, I will always wait for you to grow.â
âYou mustnât lie, promise to wait for me to grow up!â
âYes, Iâll wait for you.â
The blurry scene like smoke faded from in front of Su Shuâs eyes.
And in reality, there was no young woman talking to Ji Dong.
Just Xiaoâai listening obediently to Ji Dong narrating, âIn the end, the lion returned to the forest to be king again.â
Su Shu heard Xiaoâai say, âUncle Ji, Xiaoâai is already five years old, not afraid of injections.â
Ji Dong said, âUncle believes Xiaoâai is very brave.â
