The Regent's Tender Darling

Beijing Pier.

A boat docked on the shore, and Gu Qingtiao sat by the window of the boat house, looking quietly into the distance.

"Madam, are you still waiting? I heard from Zhuyeqing that Mr. Li was drunk and very close to a girl named Hehua." The middle-aged woman with a solemn demeanor spoke.

This is all because he knows that Li Maonian doesn't like to get close to others. Even Gu Qingtai, who is Li Maonian's senior sister, is not necessarily close, but more respectful.

But the little girl named Lotus is different.

"Wait, even if you say goodbye, you have to wait." Gu Qingtiao said in a casual tone, biting into the apple in her hand, it was crispy and sweet.

She would not object to her junior brother having someone he liked, let alone stand in the way.

"Madam, people are here."

With a respectful shout of "Senior Sister," Gu Qingtai didn't even raise her eyelids. She stared out the window and asked casually, "Why is this person here?"

Faced with the question, Li Maonian did not answer, but remained silent.

Seeing this, Gu Qingtiao raised her eyes to look at Li Maonian, as if she knew his mood in an instant, and asked with a smile: "She doesn't want to?"

"The girl's family definitely doesn't want to be too far away from home. Have you ever considered staying in Danan?"

After asking, Gu Qingtiao thought of something and said, "By the way, I heard that Danan was always losing children in the past. He Hua had a miserable life experience. He had a younger brother named Dudai, but he was not buried in the fire."

"Yeah." Li Mao young responded.

He didn't find anything strange about how his senior sister knew this. Zhuyeqing's news was only true.

Gu Qingtiao continued: "There is some news about the whereabouts of those children in Sangyu. Why don't you take her to find her before Danan leads troops to attack Sangyu?"

"Also, you should also go to Banxian Cliff to pay homage to your master."

Less than half an hour later, the boat rocked gently away from the shore.

A girl on the shore called her sir, but she was helpless about the boat that had left the shore. The little figure looked a little lonely.

Hehua's eyes were sore, and big tears flowed out. She didn't agree because she still had her brother in Zuili Qiankun.

But her brother told her that she could not stay with him forever, and she always had to have her own family.

And the person she wanted to marry was now separated and might never be seen again. She stared at the boat for a long time until it disappeared into the water and sky.

After crying until his eyes were slightly red, he wiped the tears with his hands and took a breath before he managed to cheer up.

Just when he was about to turn around and look back, he bumped into a man's chest. Hehua looked slightly stunned and slowly raised his head.

When he saw that familiar person, he was so shocked that he froze in place.

Isn't he... gone?

She was thinking this in her heart, but the joy in her eyes was visible to the naked eye.

Li Maonian stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from Lotus's cheek and asked, "Why are you crying?"

"Sir... I thought... I thought you were gone."

She thought he was gone and would never be seen again, so she was sad, but now that he was standing in front of her, she was a little at a loss.

"Sir, didn't you leave?"

She knew the boat that her husband was on because she was the one who saw him off from a distance when he boarded the boat. Only when she saw him boarding the boat did she return to the world of drunkenness.

After talking to her brother for a few words, she decided to pack her things and chase her husband.

"I'm not leaving."

"Not leaving? Sir, do you want to stay?"

"How long will you stay, sir?"

"forever."
