Pei Huaian sighed and grasped Shao He's hand, saying, "I'm sorry, Shao He. I had planned to ask my father tonight for permission for us to marry, but his illness has delayed it."
"It doesn't matter, as long as we have each other in our hearts, the timing of our marriage isn't important." Shao He also did not wish to marry too soon.
She wasn't ready in her heart to become Pei Huaian's wife.
Pei Huaian, exhausted, pinched the corners of his eyes. "Thank you for your understanding."
The carriage soon stopped in front of the courtyard, and Pei Huaian personally watched them enter before he left.
Qingxia and Qing Shan joyfully took over Xiao Linzhang.
"Little master, do you still remember me?" Qingxia leaned in to ask.
Xiao Linzhang, now chubby, his bright eyes twinkling, blinked rapidly.
"I remember, Aunt Qingxia, Aunt Qing Shan."
Qingxia exclaimed, "I can't believe the little master still remembers me!"
