Chapter 426: Chapter 426_1 Chapter 426: Chapter 426_1 Aunt Ping had prepared breakfast, as per her usual habit, she made a Chinese breakfast. Back in the Si Family home, she would often make these specialty snacks, the old man didn’t care much for those Western dishes.
In this respect, Qiao Xiaren was quite similar to him.
The red bean porridge was made fragrant and sweet, the pear pieces inside were cut just right, soft and sweet in the mouth.
“Rest at home this morning. I asked Weini to reschedule your engagement.” Si Limo looked at her and smiled, “The GK Dora Fashion Dinner is about to start. I will accompany you at that time.”
This fashion dinner was not only a gathering of the three-class elite, but also a banquet with fundraising significance. Hence, Si Limo would attend on behalf of the Si Family, and Qiao Xiaren accompanying him would not cause much ripples. He was not married yet, so was different from other men who are accompanied by their wives.
“That’s good.” Qiao Xiaren smiled lightly, “Actually, sometimes I hate such banquets, but sometimes it’s good to see the excitement.”
“Who would dare to say anything if you don’t want to go?”
Si Limo looked at her, love naturally showing in his eyes, “You must have been tired lately, you were not so thin before the new year. If you don’t want to go, I’ll help you turn it down.”
“I can skip the others, but I have to attend this one.” Qiao Xiaren curled her lips into a radiant smile, “I do want to see what kind of entity the Lan Family is. Xie Yurou snatched my endorsement before, and I still haven’t let out the anger in my heart.”
She was born this way, if something upset her, only eliminating it could make her feel comfortable. What’s more important than her own satisfaction?
“Ranran, I love this spirit in you.” Si Limo suddenly leaned forward and lightly scratched her nose, “Take your time to eat, no one’s rushing you. Your stomach has been in good condition lately. I will continue to watch over you.”
“Xiaren, this red bean porridge was made personally by Young Master Si.” Aunt Ping chipped in with a bright smile on her face. “Knowing that you have a poor appetite, he started cooking first thing in the morning.”
“Why not?” Si Limo looked at her, showing no sign of discomfort. He held her hand in his palm, caressing it, “For you, I can do anything.”
She didn’t know why, but she didn’t cry when she almost drowned in the river, nor when she was insulted by Qiao Anchu and Ye Mohan, but at this moment, tears welled up suddenly.
“What are you dazing at? Is it too hot?” Si Limo scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it gently, and brought it to her lips again.
“I have hands too.” When Qiao Xiaren looked up again, her mood had returned to its usual calmness.
She took the spoon from him and under his gaze, finished a large bowl of porridge. Then she laughed, “Si Limo, I’m telling you from today onwards, if you betray me or break your previous promises, I will… kill you.”
She uttered the last sentence lightly, yet firmly. She was serious. If she was to experience the unbearable pain from her previous life again, she would kill him.
He smiled, his eyelashes gently fluttered, he said solemnly, “I give you my life.”
No matter what happened in the future, he would love her as his own life, even more than his own life.
After breakfast, Si Limo had to leave early for some work. She had free time till noon, planning to take a walk around Lishui. She had moved in for a while, but hadn’t really explored the surroundings.
