Qianxun shivered slightly, turned around with a cheeky smile, and said, "I swear I really didnât know! Iâm not Sister Weiwei, who has actress-level acting skills. If they told me in advance and I gave it away, what would happen? I only found out after you left. If you donât believe me, ask Mr. Ah Nian. I truly didnât know."
Before Heather could ask, Li Sinian spoke first, "She really didnât know. This was a plan between Fourth Master and me."
Qianxun pouted, looked at Gu Liancheng, and threatened, "Hiding things from me, youâre the one whoâs in trouble!"
"I admit my mistake..." This time, Gu Liancheng admitted defeat immediately, "When we go back, you can punish me however you want. Itâs about Mr. Ah Nianâs lifelong happiness. Even knowing that hiding it from you is a capital crime, I still had to help cover it up for himâMr. Ah Nian, wasnât this a significant favor?"
"Very significant. Iâll remember it, and in the future if youâre in trouble, Iâll go through hell and high water for you."
The four sat down, paired in twos, sitting face to face.
Both pairs were now in the throes of passionate love, the women snuggling against the men, inseparable.
"If I had listened to you and didnât go out, wouldnât your marriage proposal have failed today?" Heather asked.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because you wouldnât stay in. You never listen to me that much," Li Sinian glanced at her and joked with a smile.
He guessed it long ago.
Even if he repeatedly reminded her, even if he made her swear, if she guessed they were going after Night Hawk and noticed theyâd been gone a long time, she would definitely find a way to get out, and no one could stop her.
Whatâs more, he told his subordinates to just half-heartedly stop her and even let the most principled Lucia be the first to step aside.
Otherwise, with Heatherâs meticulous mind, she would have noticed something was wrong long ago.
"..." Heather was at a loss for words.
Proving the saying true: having nothing to say when the point is well made.
Thus, Heather brewed her words for a long time and spat out a few, "So boring."
She was talking about his flamboyant proposal.
She always thought that someone like Ah Nian wouldnât study those romantic methods from TV dramas. What she had imagined was a scene of them quietly cuddling together.
She didnât expect him to do such a big reversal on her.
However...
She didnât actually dislike it.
She was just complaining a bit.
"But someone happens to like it," Qianxun propped her chin with her hands open like a blossomed flower.
"Little Qianxun, have you been feeling so bold because Fourth Master has your back? Daring to mock even your sister?"
"Hey, itâs not just my husband backing me now, I tell you, my brother-in-law backs me too!" Qianxun said with a beaming smile, "Right, brother-in-law?"
The sweet calling of âbrother-in-lawâ made Li Sinian incredibly happy, and he nodded, "Good girl."
This response showed he agreed with Qianxunâs words.
Heather: "..."
Impressed!
Qianxun calling so sweetly, and most importantly, acknowledging his status, how could Li Sinian not be happy?
Gu Liancheng raised a hand and flicked Qianxunâs forehead, "Donât randomly call people brother-in-law. If you call him brother-in-law, it lowers my seniority too!"
"Oh..." Heather suddenly laughed and said, "So to say, Iâve never noticed, Fourth Master, you should call me sister too. I am your wifeâs sister after all."
