Chapter 1947: He Wants to Be Your Husband

Hua Jinyan waved at Little Taotie from not far away, signaling for Little Taotie to come over.

Little Taotie didn’t go over, but Xiao Lingzhi did.

Hua Jinyan: "What are you doing here?"

"What, just because it’s not Little Taotie, you’re not welcoming me?"

Hua Jinyan: "..."

"Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with you. You only act better in front of Little Taotie! Without Little Taotie, I wouldn’t even be friends with a boring pigeon like you!"

Hua Jinyan: "..."

The two of them locked eyes in a silent battle, clearly disliking each other.

Xiao Lingzhi lowered her voice: "I know you have a mission this time, those crew members aren’t simple people."

Hua Jinyan: "So you’re not blind."

Xiao Lingzhi, annoyed: "Can’t you talk properly! I’m telling you, I’m not inconsiderate. I’ll find a reason to take Little Taotie away in a bit, take care of yourself, don’t die."

Hua Jinyan: "She won’t go with you."

Xiao Lingzhi, frustrated: "That’s why I need your cooperation."

Hua Jinyan: "I won’t cooperate with you."

Xiao Lingzhi glared at him furiously, her eyes seemingly wanting to skin him alive, "Anyone could guess your mission is dangerous, I don’t know what they’re thinking, why send you and Little Taotie, two kids, on a mission. If I weren’t here, fine, but since I am here, I won’t let Little Taotie get into danger!"

"To her, it might not be dangerous, you can’t restrict her with your ideas of what’s good for her."

"So what should I do? Be like you?" Xiao Lingzhi glanced at him sideways, "Follow her around on adventures? Can you really protect her? Are you sure?"

Hua Jinyan nodded: "I can."

Xiao Lingzhi, however, refused to believe him, insisting, "Anyway, I’m taking her away! If you don’t help, fine, but don’t mess things up for me!"

Holding a bunny, Xiao Lingzhi stubbornly ran off.

Hua Jinyan frowned, looking out towards the high seas in the distance.

Little Taotie saw Xiao Lingzhi return and asked curiously, "Did you just see Huahua?"

Xiao Lingzhi nodded: "I did, nothing much, just said to find him if you’re hungry, as if he ever has anything else to say, always like a housekeeper, it’s always about that."

Little Taotie pursed her lips, her little dimple sinking: "He definitely made something delicious for me, Huahua’s cooking skills are getting better and better!"

Xiao Lingzhi looked exasperated: "You’re Brother Cheng’s sister, is there anything good you can’t get? And you’re still craving Hua Jinyan’s lousy cooking!"

Little Taotie laughed: "Xiao Lingzhi, why are you always targeting Huahua?"

Xiao Lingzhi, grumpily: "You’ve noticed too?"

"Yeah!"

"Since you can see that he and I don’t get along, can you see that he..."

"He what?"

Xiao Lingzhi waved it off: "Forget it, not saying."

Little Taotie blew on her hands: "Oh, you’re keeping things from me!"

Xiao Lingzhi, grumbling: "Don’t imitate me!"

"Tell me quick!" Little Taotie’s little hand was already pressing against Xiao Lingzhi’s stomach.

Xiao Lingzhi surrendered immediately: "I’ll tell! I’m just afraid you won’t believe me!"

"Say it, say it quick!" Little Taotie pressed her stomach again.

Xiao Lingzhi reluctantly: "I think he likes you, the kind of liking where he wants to marry you when you grow up!"

"Don’t talk nonsense, Huahua and I are just buddies!"

"Uh! You want to be buddies with him, but he wants to be your husband!"

Little Taotie’s face turned red: "Xiao Lingzhi, don’t say things like that!"

Xiao Lingzhi sighed: "I told you, I knew you wouldn’t believe me!"
