"Wait, wait, Miss L, please don''t cry again. Here, I will give you more cookies," Li Wei shouted with a scared look as he watched L''s eyes filled with tears again.
"Mhm, I am not crying; it''s just that I can''t help it knowing I am a widow now," L stated, taking cookies from him and wiping her tears in pain.
She then started to munch on cookies silently, ignoring Li Wei, whose mouth was twitching.
''Damn, she is taking me as dead. Wait a minute, I am not even her husband. What a maniptive talking,'' Li Wei cursed in his mind and looked at L, who was eating cookies albeit wiping her tears from time to time.
"Miss L, are you okay? Do you know you haven''t even married yet, so you can''t be a widow?" Li Wei inquired with a worried face, wondering if she became stupid.
Watching his look, L wrinkled her nose.
"Li Wei, I am not stupid, so stop looking at me like that," she shouted with a pout and continued with a sad expression.
"Li Wei, if I can''t marry you, I will bebelled as a widow and defective woman because of my family rules. Also, I will not be allowed to engage in any kind of rtionship with the opposite sex in future," she exined as she munched on cookies with a sad face and turned towards him.
"I know I am at fault here, but if you won''t marry me, I can''t escape from beingbelled as a widow forever," she added, tears forming in her eyes again.
Watching her like this, Li Wei sighed with a troubled face.
He really wanted to say something about her family rules, but he didn''t know anything about them. Because of this, he decided to refrain frommenting as it might have an opposite effect.
But it didn''t mean he will agree.
"Miss L, I am sorry, but I won''t marry you," he replied, shaking his head.
He did feel troubled that her life might change because of his reply, but he didn''t want to make Li Xin and Li Yin upset.
Not to mention the situation wasn''t something worse.
"Miss L, as long as you don''t let your family know about this ident, nothing will happen," he said, assuring her.
In response, L nodded with a sad smile.
"I know this, but because of teachings from my family, I feel ufortable and vited after having left like this," she muttered, hugging her knees with a broken expression as tears once again started to fall from her eyes.
Watching her like this, Li Wei felt guilty and moved his hand to pat her head.
"Miss L, there is no need for you to feel vited like this. I don''t want to marry you because I have my reasons, not because I hate you or don''t like you," he exined in a gentle tone as he ruffled her sky-blue hair to console her.
Hearing him, L calmed down a little and nced at him with doubt.
"Do you really not hate me? I am causing you so much trouble," she inquired as tears kept falling from her face.
Watching her like this, Li Wei sighed inwardly and decided to use his weapon.
"Miss L, how could I hate a beautiful woman like you?" he replied with a soft smile as he wiped her tears with a napkin.
While hearing him, L became stunned, and her face blushed like a tomato.
"Li Wei, watch what you are saying," she shouted angrily with a re.
But Li Wei ignored her and started to ruffle her hair again.
"Miss L, you are really beautiful. Also, a beautiful woman like you must eat cookies," he stated with a smile and stuffed a cookie in her mouth.
"Mhmm," L wanted to say something, but her mouth became sealed with a cookie, and she didn''t have any choice but to eat it while ring at him.
However, Li Wei didn''t care and continued to feed her as she kept eating unwillingly(?).
''Good thing my sweet talk worked, or it would be really hard to calm her down,'' Li Wei thought with relief as he saw L not crying anymore.
When L, who finished eating thest cookie, wrinkled her nose at him.
"Li Wei, stop treating me like a child. I am 24 years old, you know," she muttered with a pout as Li Wei kept ruffling her hair.
"Haha, isn''t it a happy thing to get treated like this?" Li Wei chuckled at her, and after ruffling a few more times, he took his hand back.
"Are you feeling okay now?" he inquired, watching no more tears in her eyes.
"Mhmm, thanks to you, I am okay now," L replied with a faint blush and a cute pout.
Hearing her, Li Wei nodded and got on the main topic.
"Miss L, why did youe to my house at this time?" he inquired, pretending to be ignorant.
While hearing him, L made a serious face and gazed into his eyes.
"Li Wei, are you the one who is helping Priestess Irene to hide herself?" she inquired but with a soft tone, making Li Wei stunned.
However, he hurriedly recovered and answered.
"Miss L, what are you talking about? Why would Priestess Irene hide herself?" he asked, putting on a puzzled face.
Watching him like this, L frowned a little.
''Is it really not him? Then how does he know I like cookies, something even mypanions didn''t know about except Priestess Irene?'' she thought, looking at Li Wei with doubt.
"Li Wei, if you are really hiding Priestess Irene, then you will be in trouble because in a few hours high-level pdins from the capital city will being here to search for Priestess Irene."
"Unlike us, they have a lot of abilities and skills that can track a person from miles away, and if you really get caught up in this, you will face a lot of trouble," she warned him with a stern look.
Hearing her, Li Wei felt weird that she was being nice to him, but he felt grateful for this information and ignored the weird feeling.
"Miss L, you don''t need to worry about me. I am not hiding Priestess Irene, so I won''t get into trouble," he assured her.
"Okay, I am relieved to hear this," L nodded, dropping the subject. However, she still held a doubt that it was Li Wei and kept staring at him curiously.
"Please don''t stare at me like this," Li Wei requested as he felt goosebumps from her gaze.
"Umm, if you don''t want me to stare at you, then give me cookies," L replied, asking for cookies with a cute expression.
Li Wei couldn''t help but be speechless at her; however, he fulfilled her wish, giving her enough cookies to eat for a while.
"Li Wei, how do you know that I like cookies?" Irene asked suddenly with a curious expression as she munched on the cookies cutely.
While hearing her, Li Wei became stiff with fear.
''Damn, can''t you eat peacefully?'' he cursed in his mind and answered her.
"Haha, Miss L, how could I know what you like? I just made a guess because everyone in my house likes them," he replied, making an excuse.
"So, it was a guess?" L nodded, looking at him with deep expression before munching on her cookies again.
When Li Wei''smunication tool suddenly rang and when he saw the message he became stunned.
"Huh, who is Ava?" he muttered as he saw a message with a few words.
Ava: Are you done yet?
That was all written there, making him puzzled when L who was beside him curiously looked at the message.
"It''s Ava, mypanion," she exined and resumed with her eating as if it had nothing to do with her.
Li Wei became speechless at her reaction, but he didn''t care and sent a message to Ava and Li Xin that they were done talking.
It wasn''t even a few seconds passed when two doors opened simultaneously with everyone inside theming out.
"Miss L, are you okay?" Ava inquired as she came beside her, only to see her eating cookies.
"I am alright, Ava. You don''t need to worry," L replied and hurriedly stored the remaining cookies in her item box with a blush.
Watching her like this, Ava felt weird, but she didn''t care as L wasn''t crying anymore.
"Li Wei, I will take my leave then," L announced, standing up.
"Miss L, please take care. Also, there is no need to worry too much about what happened," Li Wei replied, assuring her once again.
"Mhmm, I will keep it in mind," L nodded and took her leave with herpanions, who were still puzzled about the situation.
However, before L left, she didn''t forget to give a deep look at Irene, who was standing there with Li Xin and others after changing her appearance.
