The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

"But since things have come to this point, if I don't do as you say, wouldn't I be even more ridiculed?" Saying this, she picked up a pen and paper from the side and wrote down the kind of document they wanted.

At the same time, he asked the waiter to go to his room and bring over the box from the second shelf of the bookshelf in that cubicle. Probably only he knew that the box contained Kui'er's indenture. He had actually released it separately a long time ago, and did not treat Kui'er as just someone bought for customers' entertainment in the teahouse.

But now that things have come to this, what use would it be to say anything more? With a heavy heart, he wrote down the document that Tong Qian had asked him to write earlier.

After watching the waiter bring the box, he waved him away slightly, gently touched the box, and carefully wiped it clean even though it was spotless, before placing it in front of Tong Qian and opening it with great care.

While taking out Kui'er's contract and placing it in front of them, he said, "Actually, if you hadn't come to ask for this, I would have returned it to Kui'er sooner or later. I had thought about it a long time ago, that I would return Kui'er's contract to her someday, after all, her existence here is no longer just a simple existence."

"It's just that before I had the chance, she found a better match. If you can offer her more, then I'm naturally willing to let her go with you to live the kind of life she wants. After all, she can never live a simple, quiet life with me."

Saying this, he shook his head with a hint of self-mockery. The last thing he should have done today was go to the teahouse to find the owner and run into Tong Qian. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"There's no point in saying all this now. Actually, from the moment I saw you in your teahouse, I knew that you and the teahouse owner couldn't be viewed the same way. The things in your eyes are different from his. If the teahouse owner had come this time, I believe Kui'er would definitely not have agreed to it."

"But if you come here in the end, as long as she sees you and Yun girl beside you, she will naturally not resist. Only the determination in your eyes can be a real reason to change Kui'er. Although this result is indeed unexpected, it also seems to be expected."

As he said this, he shook his head. "This is her indenture. Keep it safe. After this, she will have no further relationship with me. But even now, are you still just letting her hide in the background and not letting her come out to see me one last time? Even my guests need a reasonable explanation from her. You're just leaving without saying a word..."

Seeing his abrupt halt, Tong Qian naturally understood what he wanted to say, but she was at a loss for how to react. If she had anticipated this outcome, she hadn't expected him to utter such heartbreaking words at the last moment.

If the beginning and the process were within my expectations, then the outcome at this moment made me look at Boss Li with new respect. Even though the decision was made for profit, I could clearly see the sincerity in his eyes at the end. My appreciation for Kui'er and my shock at Boss Li were intertwined at this moment.

Hearing what Boss Li said, Yun Yatou fell silent for a moment. She and Kui'er were ultimately different. No matter how many similarities they had experienced, their circumstances were still very different. After all, the boss and Tong Qian were two different individuals, and they would always have different perspectives when looking at things.

The reason I stayed at the teahouse to sing was because Tong Qian helped me find a direction at my request. Although she was so open-minded at that time, she never thought that I had to do those things at the teahouse. If I didn't agree, she wouldn't force me.

Kui'er's only option was to play the zither in the teahouse. She had to make a living on her own and also make the owner see her value. How much helplessness she faced was unknown. Seeing the somewhat dazed look on Tong Qian's face, she took it upon herself to go behind the screen and call Kui'er out.

Kui'er looked at Boss Li with mixed feelings. If he had maintained his initial attitude, she probably wouldn't have been moved. But it was only because of his last few words that she felt a lingering sense of guilt amidst her unwavering resolve.

However, putting aside the fact that he has now seen through so much and knows his own position, he naturally won't be overly sentimental about these things. Even without these things, he does know that his contract is now in Tong Qian's hands, so saying anything else is superfluous.

Moreover, if what Tong Qian and Boss Li said was just a simple exchange, then it would still be possible to back out at this point. But she has already spent so much money on me, and if I regret it now, it would be a betrayal of Tong Qian's thoughtful consideration for me since she appeared.

This predicament was probably the first time he had encountered it in all these years, so he knelt down and said, "Mr. Li, no matter what you think or how you treat me, I should thank you for saving me and allowing me to have such a decent life here."

"I even put so much effort into improving my piano skills, which made me the object of so many people's admiration. Such an opportunity is something that many people would kill for. But I really don't want to live that kind of life where I'm always in front of people. Compared to that kind of hypocritical flattery, I would rather be able to play the piano in my spare time and just be content with myself."

"Call me ungrateful or ignorant, but if what Miss Tong just said is true, then even if I am despised by others, I still want that peace."
