Nico looked very serious when he said this.
His tone was equally solemn.
At this point, he snapped back to reality and said, “Beinian, you’re a very good person. Your father will definitely be very fond of you. I’m sure he didn’t mean to abandon you.”
“I hope so.” Li Beinian mumbled to herself and stood up. “I’ll be on my way now that I know you’re fine. I have to go back to work but will bring you the invitation later. I look forward to seeing you at my wedding.”
Li Beinian smiled politely. Seeing how it things had gone well, Nico asked Will to see her off.
Not only did Will see Li Beinian out, but he also planned to send her home.
No matter how Li Beinian protested, it was futile.
Just as Li Beinian was about to enter her house, Will suddenly called out, “Miss Beinian.”
“Yes?” Li Beinian turned around.
With a polite smile, Will said, “Nico used to live in Xia Nation. At that time, Nico was an exchange student at Xia Nation University and got to know a particularly beautiful girl. Later on, because of his family, Nico had no choice but to return to England. Nico’s father was in poor health and died prematurely… less than three years after Nico returned.”
“…Died prematurely?”
“Yes, he passed away.” Looking apologetic, he continued, “From then on, Nico took over the family business. To be honest, apart from being Nico’s butler, I’m also a companion who watched Nico grow up. In the Rothschild family, Nico is the only heir, and his every move is watched by the entire family. Whenever the family encounters a small problem, Nico will have to put in a lot of effort to solve it. It takes a lot of time.”
Li Beinian studied the face of this man standing before her.
Will was by no means young.
He was more than ten years older than Nico and was stepping into his golden years.
However, when he mentioned Nico, he was both affectionate and respectful.
Will smiled at Li Beinian and continued, “Nico enjoys spending time with you. He’s very happy whenever he sees you. Besides the beautiful Xia Nation girl he knew back then, you’ve been the only other person to make him so happy.”
Li Beinian knew very well who he was referring to.
She smiled upon hearing what Will had said. “Really? It’s an honor.”
Rather surprised by Li Beinian’s attitude, his gentlemanly smile deepened. “I hope you can visit Nico often, Miss Beinian. Please.”
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Li Beinian.
Li Beinian quickly stopped him and said, “Please don’t. Please go home, I will visit often.”
Will looked grateful. “Thank you so much, Miss Beinian. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Alright.”
Li Beinian watched Will leave before walking back into her own home.
Tai Chen Prefecture was their matrimonial home and Li Beinian did not want to have the nanny there.
After talking to Mu Xichen, he respected her opinion.
Hence, no one was there to cook.
Li Beinian tidied up and went to the supermarket.
Coincidentally, she ran into a young foreign man she had noticed at Will’s house.
Li Beinian was wearing sunglasses and had the down jacket hood on. She was considered to be well-disguised.
Hence, when she walked past this young man, he did not recognize her.
She noticed him pushing the cart to the aquatic products area. There was a bunch of celery in his cart.
Li Beinian clearly saw him pointing at the soft-shelled turtle swimming in the water. “I want this.”
