427 Let Brother Take Care Of You, Okay?
Liu Sanniang opened her eyes and met Chu Yan’s gaze. She was stunned…
Why was Chu Yan at her house?
Madam Wei smiled. “Yan, don’t mind her. Sanniang must be hungry.”
Chu Yan replied calmly. “I don’t mind.”
He couldn’t wait to like her. Why would he mind it? He had made so much delicious food for her, but the little rabbit never acted so sweetly with him.
If he hadn’t come early today, he wouldn’t have seen her like this.
Her sleepy eyes were soft and adorable. She looked extremely cute. The way she closed her eyes and tasted the food, and the way she wanted to eat more, made him like her even more.
Madam Wei quickly scooped out the pancakes. “This is for you and Yan.”
Liu Erlang woke up early in the morning and was hungry when he smelled the fragrance.
He stuck his head into the kitchen. “Mother, what are you making? It smells so good.”
When Madam Wei saw Liu Erlang, she said angrily, “Come and watch the fire. If you want to eat, you have to wait.”
Liu Erlang happily walked up to the stove to watch the fire.
Liu Erlang looked at Chu Yan, who was eating the pancake. “Chu Yan, I’ll leave my sister to you. You must take good care of her.”
Chu Yan replied calmly. “I will.”
Liu Erlang was a little envious. His eldest brother and third sister were already engaged, but he was still alone.
If it were last March, he would never have thought that Chu Yan would become his brother-in-law.
After they finished eating, Chu Yan went out to put the carriage on the horse.
Liu Sanniang went to the house to get her things and headed to Chuzhou with Chu Yan.
After Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang left, Liu Erlang could finally eat the delicious pancakes.
Liu Erlang felt that it was too delicious after taking a bite. He said, “Mother, you can also make some of this pancake for General Black. He will definitely like it.”
Madam Wei glanced at Liu Erlang. “You still have the cheek to say this? When General Black walks on the street, wherever he goes, he is domineering and attracts tons of female dogs. What about you?”
Liu Erlang blushed. “Why are you comparing me to a dog?”
He was a human being.
Madam Wei snorted. “Of course you can’t be compared to General Black. You are even worse than a dog.”
General black was majestic and the king of all the other dogs.
Liu Erlang simply stopped talking. If he continued talking back, he would probably have to forget about eating the pancakes.
He felt aggrieved. He had to eat more to improve his mood.
His brother would get married soon. At that time, his bed would be warm. Liu Erlang did not know when this would happen to him. Thinking of his lonely life, Liu Erlang ate the pancakes in big mouthfuls. He was already feeling very bad in his heart, so he wanted to treat his mouth well.
Pancakes… Oh, they were so fragrant and delicious.

When Li Guanfeng brought Su Xiaowu to Chuzhou, he asked Ligui to ask around about the Su mansion.
Chuzhou was huge, how many Su mansions were there?
In Xiaowu’s memory, it was a very big place with all kinds of gardens and rockeries, so ordinary, small families were excluded.
Worried that Ligui couldn’t handle the job alone, Li Guanfeng asked Liming to go and look around too.
He could take care of Xiaowu alone.
Sitting in the carriage for a day was extremely uncomfortable, so the first thing he did was wash up. The clothes were all new. He asked Xiaowu to wash up and change before Li Guanfeng brought her downstairs. They ate at the inn and ordered light food.
Perhaps because she knew that this was a place very close to home, Su Xiaowu’s appetite was not good.
Li Guanfeng frowned. “Take five more bites.”
Su Xiaowu pouted. “Brother, I can’t eat anymore.”
Li Guanfeng said helplessly, “Then, have some soup.”
Su Xiaowu nodded and slowly drank the soup.
She seemed to want to say something, but she swallowed her words.
After eating, Li Guanfeng held Su Xiaowu’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ll take you out for a walk.”
Su Xiaowu smiled. “Thank you, brother.”
Li Guanfeng held Su Xiaowu’s hand and walked out. She looked down at her toes. “Brother, is my grandmother still waiting for me?”
She didn’t know why she felt that, but this thought was there in her head. When one was old, one could die. When one was injured, one could die. When one was seriously ill, one could die. Her grandmother was so old. Would she die too?
At the thought of this, Su Xiaowu felt extremely uncomfortable.
Li Guanfeng sensed Su Xiaowu’s emotions and simply lifted her up. Although she was ten years old, she looked like a six or seven-year-old girl. She was very thin, and he did not feel burdened carrying her. He only felt sorry for her.
Li Guanfeng looked into Su Xiaowu’s eyes and said seriously, “Of course your grandmother is waiting for you to go back. I won’t lie to you.”
Su Xiaowu looked at Li Guanfeng and blinked. Tears rolled down her face. She smiled. “Really?”
Li Guanfeng nodded. “Really. Sister Liu said this. She was the one who told me where you came from.”
Su Xiaowu’s eyes lit up even more. “Sister Liu is a good person. I like her. Yay, grandmother is still waiting for me. I’m going back.”
Li Guanfeng felt a little depressed. “Don’t you want to live with me?”
If he found Su Xiaowu’s home and she wanted to stay at home, he could only let go and wait for her to grow up. However, the thought of being separated for so many years with her made him feel terrible. He only wanted to keep her by his side every second of his life.
Su Xiaowu looked at Li Guanfeng and reached out to touch his face. “Brother, I like you too, but Grandma must be missing me very much.”
Li Guanfeng’s heart was instantly healed when he heard Su Xiaowu say that she liked him. “Then I’ll tell your grandmother and ask her to agree to letting me taking care of you, okay?”
“Xiaowu, you have grown up, and your grandmother is getting old. She doesn’t have the energy to take care of you anymore, but I have it.”
Li Guanfeng felt that he was very bad, but he just wanted to coax Su Xiaowu into following him. He didn’t want to be separated from her at all.
Su Xiaowu seemed to be thinking. After a while, she said honestly, “Grandmother can’t carry me anymore.”
Li Guanfeng smiled. “But I can. So, can you let me take care of you?”
Su Xiaowu pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Although Li Guanfeng was a little disappointed, he still said, “Xiaowu, you can consider it carefully. If I treat you badly, you can abandon me and go back at any time.”
