Lu Qingshan's handsome face turned pale, and he scolded: "Cheng Jining, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will hang you upside down on the tree."

Cheng Jinning replied unconvinced again: "If you dare, I will tell your secret!"

"You!" Lu Qingshan choked and actually stopped talking.

Lu Qingshan has always been famous in the capital for his unrestrained and carefree lifestyle. What kind of secret could be discovered by a little girl and could really threaten him?

"What secret does he have?" Cheng Songan asked curiously.

"I won't tell you!" Cheng Jining was a smart little girl. She knew that if the secret was revealed, she would no longer be able to blackmail Lu Qingshan to do things for her. Therefore, she kept her mouth shut and happily took the little cat slave out to play.

Lu Qingshan said, "Your second sister is not seriously ill. The doctor has prescribed medicine and has asked me to boil it."

Cheng Song'an's heart moved. Lu Qingshan called a doctor for Cheng Wanxin, but left Jin Ning outside, clearly not wanting her, a talkative girl, to go in and know the inside story. This meant that when he was at Cui's house that day, Lu Qingshan had heard the whole process and knew that Cheng Wanxin was pregnant.

Cheng Songan was silent for a moment, then laughed at himself and asked, "You actually heard everything that day, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked Jin Ning to wait outside when you asked for a doctor for your second sister. You were afraid that she would find out and make a scene on the spot."

Lu Qingshan moved his lips but didn't answer, which was considered as his agreement.

Cheng Songan asked again: "Do you know who it is related to?"

Lu Qingshan raised his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently with an expression that said "what do you think?"

Yes, Cui Yuanqing, played by Situi, directly threw the matter of calling a doctor to him, and he had also seen himself and Cui Yuanqing having a divorce, so he would not fail to guess.

The relationship between them is really weird. They both obviously care about Cheng Wanxin, but they are both eager to cut off ties with her, yet they still ask each other to do things for her.

In silence, Haitang brought in the prepared medicine and asked Cheng Songan to drink it while it was hot. Then she went outside and took Cheng Jining to the ear room to make a nest for the little cat slave.

Lu Qingshan frowned and asked, "What disease do you have? What medicine did you take?"

Cheng Songan finished drinking it and stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth. When it was no longer so bitter, he replied, "It's just medicine for my daughter."

Lu Qingshan took the empty bowl she had drunk from, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then put it back and asked doubtfully, "Are you really okay?"

Cheng Songan said helplessly: "What could be the problem? Lu Xiaojiu, you were not so fussy before."

Lu Qingshan replied sarcastically: "You were not as thin as a monkey on Mount Emei before. You don't look like you will live a long life."

Cheng Songan was so shocked by the stabbing that she fell silent. In her previous life, she did not live a long life and did not even live to the age of thirty.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Qingshan regretted saying such an unlucky thing when she was sick, and added: "Are you not used to the food in Cui Mansion?"

Cheng Songan replied lazily: "I don't want to eat Cui's food now, and I won't eat it in the future."

Lu Qingshan stared into her eyes and asked, "Is it because of your second sister's pregnancy? What if it has nothing to do with Cui Yuanqing?"

Cheng Songan was not used to him being so serious. So Lu Qingshan also knew this, but he was not sure that she knew it had nothing to do with Cui Yuanqing. He thought that she divorced because she misunderstood that Cheng Wan was pregnant with his child, so he asked this question.

She replied lazily: "I don't care whether it has anything to do with him or not."

Lu Qingshan leaned forward and asked, "Cheng Yundai, why did you suddenly let go of Cui Yuanqing? After taking this step, will you ever look back?"

"No," Chengsong'an was startled by his sudden approach and stretched out a finger to poke his shoulder away from him.

Unexpectedly, this poke was met with Lu Qingshan gently grabbing her wrist and moving closer: "Really?"

Cheng Songan was shocked. Why were they all so disrespectful today? This made Cui Yuanqing's previous behavior seem more justified.

She pulled her fingers out with force and frowned, "Lu Xiaojiu, are you looking for death? This is not a childhood, if it was before, I would have beaten you up a long time ago."

Lu Qingshan laughed, his voice a little bitter: "Cheng Yundai, when we were little, you were the one who held my hand."

Cheng Songan was very embarrassed. They were all children at that time and there was no strict separation between men and women. They went up mountains and down rivers all day, catching birds and fishing. Not to mention holding hands, she was even held by Lu Qingshan around the waist while climbing up a tree.

After thinking for a while, he said guiltily: "I don't remember the past very clearly. We were all children at that time, so we naturally didn't care about these things."

"But I care." Lu Qingshan almost replied.

Cheng Songan didn't react for a moment: "What do you care about?"

Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, looked directly into her eyes, and said word by word: "I care about every day I spent with you, and every word you said to me."

Every word he said was like a thunderbolt, hitting Cheng Songan's head, making her a little dizzy. She barely held on to the railing to make herself more awake, and stammered: "Lu Xiaojiu, please be careful with your words... You... You have overstepped the line..."

Lu Qingshan smiled bitterly: "I have liked you for these years, and I have already crossed the line. This time is not a big deal."

Cheng Songan took a deep breath and looked outside unconsciously. He was afraid that someone would hear him, but he also hoped that someone would come quickly to break this awkward situation.

How could Lu Qingshan have liked her for so many years? He had said she was barbaric and rude since she was a child, and even when she grew up, he still said that she pretended to be a lady from a noble family, but was not as good as a hair of the fifth lady.

Lu Qingshan seemed to see through her thoughts and continued, "When I said you were wild and spoiled, and that you pretended to be a lady from a wealthy family, I didn't mean to belittle you. It's just that the one I originally liked was the unpretentious Cheng Songan."

"The reason why I mentioned Miss Wu in front of you is because the person you like likes Xue Tingyun. I wanted you to give up. The funny thing is that I pushed you to him instead."

Cheng Songan hugged her knees, her heart in a mess. From childhood to adulthood, she had never had any feelings for Lu Qingshan. She thought that this reunion and accidentally becoming brother and sister with him was a pleasant surprise, but she didn't expect him to say all this suddenly. How could she face him calmly in the future?

"If you weren't so determined to divorce, I would have kept these words to myself for the rest of my life, but you gave me hope. I've already missed it once, Cheng Songan, and I don't want to make the same mistake again."

Lu Qingshan stood up and said calmly, "Originally, when you told me that Cui Yuanqing treated you very well, I wished you two would grow old together. Now, I hope that the person who can grow old with you is me."

Cheng Songan raised his head, his brows furrowed.

Lu Qingshan stopped her from speaking and said with a smile: "Don't rush to say no to me. I'll give you some time."

Then, he took a step forward with his long legs and walked out.

Outside Chenglan Pavilion, two long-legged cranes walked out at some point, and a man stood next to the cranes with his hands behind his back, like a banished immortal.

His brows were clear and his tone was gentle. He said to Lu Qingshan: "I will not divorce."

Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows: "Really? Why do you think so?"

The man said slowly: "Because she has our flesh and blood in her belly."
