dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door. Someone? Li Qingqian ran to open the door with her short legs. She looked up and saw a pretty woman in front of her. Li Qingqian's eyes lit up immediately. "Aunt Yuanxi, you're here! Are you looking for mother?"

"Xiao Qingqian, is your mother at home?" A gentle and graceful voice came out of the woman's mouth.

"Yes~, my mother is in the kitchen making delicious food for Qian'er~"

Li Qingqian answered obediently

"Auntie's friend brought a box of cakes from town for Xiao Qingqian." The woman showed the food box to Li Qingqian. Li Qingqian's eyes widened immediately, but she quickly calmed down and behaved herself.

"Auntie Huanxi, please come in quickly. You sit down. I'll go call mom." She brought a stool for her to sit on.

Although she was drooling, she kept silent. Her mother had told her to be polite and not lose her manners. Before Li Qingqian could run over, Li Xilian came out on her own, seeing that she hadn't returned yet.

"Huanxi, you're here?" Li Xilian greeted the newcomer immediately.

Huan Xi had been looking down at Li Qingqian, but she immediately looked up at the sound of her voice. She had seen her so many times before, yet she was still dazzled by her beauty. Her cool and distinguished temperament, flawless features, and unblemished lips were like a fairy from the mortal world, causing her heart to tremble and her heartbeat to flutter.

"Lianlian... I brought some pastries, thinking Xiao Qingqian would like them." Huanxi couldn't take her eyes off them. Li Xilian saw the food box on the table and said, "Thank you for the expense."

"No, no, it's a gift from a friend, so it's not expensive."

"If it's nothing important, stay and have a quick meal. It'll be ready soon." Li Xilian asked with concern.

"is this okay?"

"It's nothing bad, stay and have dinner."

"Sorry to bother you..." Huan Xi apologized, but she was very excited in her heart. She was very satisfied even though they were just having a meal together.

During the meal, Li Xilian ate silently and occasionally picked up some food for Li Qingqian.

Huan Xi also glanced at her from time to time and saw that her mind was not on eating.

Little Li Qingqian sat in the middle, feeling she had seen through the truth. She thought of how Aunt Huanxi had been very kind to her and how she often visited her and her mother. Although she wanted her mother all to herself, she always felt lonely watching her mother raising her alone.

"Aunt Huanxi, why don't you be my other mother? I think you are a very nice person and I also want to find a companion for my mother." Li Qingqian said this surprisingly and unexpectedly.

Huan Xi was also startled, and then looked at Li Lian anxiously.

"Li Qingqian." Li Xilian put down his bowl and chopsticks and called out seriously.

"Here!" Li Qingqian stood up suddenly, not daring to move.

"Apologize to Auntie Huanxi. How could you say such nonsense?"

"But Aunt Huanxi likes you too, I can see that. Aunt Huanxi is single anyway, and I feel at ease having Aunt Huanxi as my mother to accompany you," Li Qingqian defended.

Li Xilian's face darkened. "Li Qingqian, don't worry about the adults' affairs."

"Lianlian, don't be like this. You're just a child, and you can say whatever you want." Huanxi saw that the situation was not good and quickly persuaded her. Hearing her say this, Li Xilian's expression eased a little.

"Lianlian. Actually, I should be the one saying this. I like you, please give me a chance." Huanxi took this opportunity to say what was in her heart.

Li Xilian looked over and saw that Huan Xi's eyes were only on her.

Huan Xi was very gentle and kind, with willow-like eyebrows, delicate features, a high nose bridge, and long black hair that reached her waist. Her gentle peach blossom eyes gazed at Li Xilian, and she was friendly and generous.

Everything reveals her charm as a person, and she is undoubtedly a perfect dating partner.

She waited nervously for Li Xilian's response.

Li Xilian thought about it carefully. It wasn't a bad idea to agree. Han Qiu was just a mission target for her now. As for Huan Xi... she would stay with her until she died, but that was truly unfair to her.

Huanxi deserves someone better than herself.

Li Xilian hesitated and was about to refuse, but suddenly someone from one of Huanxi's shops came to inform him that something urgent had happened. Huanxi loosened her knuckles that had turned white from being pinched, and stood up after thinking about it.

"I'll come see you tomorrow morning."

Then he said goodbye and left

"Mom, have you agreed?" Li Qingqian said timidly.

Li Xilian shook his head

Li Qingqian was not discouraged. She could help Aunt Huanxi to win over her mother, as her mother was too lonely alone.

Li Qingqian wanted to go fishing in the river, and Li Xilian nodded in agreement. Since she had a life-saving magic weapon, she would rush there immediately.

Li Qingqian skipped towards the river but bumped into someone walking towards her without noticing.

"Sister! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Li Qingqian was frightened and apologized quickly.

While others might not have bothered with a child, Shan Hanqiu, the Demon Lord, ignored all this and was about to teach her a lesson. But when she lowered her eyes to look, she was stunned.

This girl...

Li Qingqian only resembled her mother by 30%, and the remaining 70% was inherited from Hanqiu. Her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Hanqiu's. So Hanqiu was stunned the moment he saw the girl, and Li Qingqian also looked up.

Why does this person look a bit like me?

At that moment, the devilish energy in Hanqiu's hand dissipated, and he squatted down and stared at her incredulously, as if he wanted to stare through Li Qingqian. This is Lianlian and my child. Although he looks like Lianlian, he looks more like me.

This child is mine and Lianlian's...

Li Qingqian was frightened by her gaze and immediately took a few steps away from her. Then, while Han Qiu was stunned, she turned around and ran away.

She instantly distanced herself from Han Qiu, and she ran while shouting, "Mom! Help! I'm going to die! There's a human trafficker! There's a pervert! She's trying to kidnap me!"

The thought of being caught by human traffickers and never seeing her mother again, and not being able to feel her warm embrace, made Li Qingqian run even faster...

"Ah?" Han Qiu was completely confused. How did I become a human trafficker?
