The scumbag Bai Lianhua was abused, and Li Shao specifically asked to marry her

In the restaurant's private room;

Li Jinchen was looking at Meng Qingyan innocently, who was pretending to be angry.

Finally, under the intimidation of the little girl's eyes, he was the first to surrender. How could he not see the obvious question?

After cleaning the prawns in the bowl, he put them on the little girl's plate, then took off his gloves and soothed her softly;

"It's getting late, eat something and then I'll take you back!"

Dissatisfied with Li Jinchen's breaking of his word again, Meng Qingyan angrily stuffed the shrimp into her mouth.

After the food was completely swallowed, he continued to think about other delicacies this time, but his words were still full of questioning;

"Boss Li, when will you change your habit of acting first and asking for permission later?"

Faced with the little girl's aggressiveness, Li Jinchen remained calm. Seeing Meng Qingyan's slightly relaxed mood, he obediently accepted the complaint.

"Pay attention next time!"

That humble attitude really made Meng Qingyan unable to utter a word of complaint, and she could only keep eating the delicacies on the table.

But what Meng Qingyan didn't know was that Li Jinchen's mind was now full of thoughts about how to confess to the little girl what he had discovered in Su Yubai's office.

The results have not been verified yet, and I am not sure whether this is just an idea that I am overly expecting.

After all, after the little girl went missing, no one dared to mention the engagement between the Li family and the Su family.

"When I was having dinner with that girl from the Mu family today, she told me something about your childhood!"

Li Jinchen mustered up her courage to speak tentatively, as she was not sure whether Meng Qingyan would have any misunderstandings because of this.

There was a slight pause in his hand movements, but this unexpected question still made Meng Qingyan panic.

"I'm sorry, I'm not..."

How could Li Jinchen, who was staring at her closely, not fail to notice the little girl's embarrassment? Afraid of really making the little girl unhappy, he quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.

But before he could explain the reason, the little girl's cold voice interrupted his awkwardness;

"Master Li, are you worried about me?"

I can’t understand Meng Qingyan’s expression at this moment. Is she really indifferent or is she just pretending to be strong?

But I still responded from the bottom of my heart;

"It hurts!"

Although the words were brief, they were powerful. For some reason, Meng Qingyan suddenly had an urge to cry and wanted to hug the man in front of her tightly.

Obviously, everything that happened today was hard enough for Li Jinchen to accept, but now he was trying to comfort himself.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happened, Meng Qingyan rarely showed her emotions.

Even when his grandfather passed away, he faced everyone calmly, dealing with the chaos inside the medicine cabinet and all the matters left by his grandfather.

But she had not expected that her defenses would be broken today. Faced with the man's undisguised emotions, Meng Qingyan could only force herself to remain calm.

But in the end, he was defeated by Li Jinchen's honesty.

"Li Jinchen, do you think I was really abducted by bad guys?"

Although he didn't understand why Meng Qingyan suddenly attacked, Li Jinchen still heard something strange in it and felt that the little girl was not so happy about her family.

Wanting to know why she had such thoughts, he did not interrupt her and continued to listen carefully to what the little girl said next.

"Who wouldn't look for their lost child everywhere? But back then, my grandfather ordered the Medicine Pavilion to mobilize all its forces, but they still couldn't find my family."

The power of the medicine cabinet cannot be underestimated, whether it was more than ten years ago or now.

If what Meng Qingyan said was true, the medicine pavilion intervened in the search for her family, and the Su family did not deliberately conceal the disappearance of the little girl.

This incident has become known to everyone in the imperial capital and has caused a sensation in the city. It is impossible for the Medicine Pavilion to remain indifferent.

Before Li Jinchen could figure out what went wrong that resulted in the little girl not being found by the Su family for so long, he heard Meng Qingyan's self-denying voice again.

"I think maybe they really didn't want me anymore, so they threw me into the woods."

"I don't know what I did wrong to be abandoned by them, but fortunately, I met my grandfather, Qingchuan and my current family."

Meng Qingyan's expression was no longer cold as she mentioned what happened next, but Li Jinchen was still immersed in the questioning from the little girl just now.

Obviously; there must be something strange about what happened back then.

The Su family's high-profile search for someone could not be concealed, so the problem was with the medicine cabinet. However, Meng Qingyan was so sure that her grandfather was looking for her relatives for her, so where did the deviation occur?

Thinking back to the conversation between several people in the medicine cabinet today, a bold guess flashed through his mind.

"Back then, who took the order to find your family?"

"It's Senior Brother Qingyi! At that time, Grandpa had been living in seclusion in the mountains, and the medicine pavilion and everything in the outside world were..."

Before he finished stating the facts of that year, he heard the doubt in Li Jinchen's words, and was stunned for a moment, expressing his doubts in disbelief;

"Are you doubting, Qingyi, that he didn't help me find my family at all!?"

Although she tried her best to restrain herself, Meng Qingyan's eyes were already bloodshot, with tears lingering at the corners of her eyes, looking like they were about to burst out.

He couldn't believe that the tragedy he had experienced over the years was actually caused by Senior Brother Qing Yi, and he could no longer control his emotions.

She lowered her hands and secretly exerted force until her nails began to dig into her palms, but she still couldn't remain calm.

Noticing the little girl's trembling, Li Jinchen hurriedly stood up, pulled up her angry fist, and tried hard to pry it apart so that it would no longer hurt herself.

"Qing'er, Qing'er, calm down!"

Li Jinchen's address shocked Meng Qingyan again.

He was so worried about the little girl's condition that he blurted out the name from his memory.

"You, what did you call me?"

The truth was revealed and there was no way to cover it up any longer. He could only hold Meng Qingyan in his arms and try to calm her down first.

But Meng Qingyan was still immersed in the nickname that Li Jinchen blurted out.

No one had ever called her like that in front of a man, so she didn't believe it was just a coincidence. The man's test just now made her more certain of her thoughts.

"Li Jinchen, what do you know?"

She pushed the man away forcefully, ignoring his gentle words of comfort. She just wanted to know what was going on.

Being stared at by Meng Qingyan's tearful eyes, Li Jinchen still couldn't refuse. He ignored the anger that the little girl had just shown towards him and pulled her into his arms again.

But his words were still extremely gentle, trying to calm the little girl's emotions;

"Okay, I'll tell you, but can you calm down first?"

This time, the force increased as the little girl struggled, leaving her no chance to breathe.

Finally, exhausted Meng Qingyan collapsed in the man's arms.

Only when he felt that her body had stopped shaking did Li Jinchen slowly loosen his arms and help her sit down.
