Chapter 1461: Want to Sit with Me at the Mall’s Water Bar?

Xu Haohao held the cup of milk tea aggressively and chased after him, "I knew you were like this, aren’t you some Great Grandmaster? You can’t even spare a few bucks for milk tea..."

Xuan Ting leisurely sipped his milk tea, watching her come down the stairs, and said, "But I forgot to mention earlier, this is my second cup."

Xu Haohao suddenly paused, unable to help but look down at the cup of milk tea in her hand. Was hers specially bought?

Xu Haohao felt a complex emotion she couldn’t quite describe and could only change the subject by asking, "Where’s Xiao Li?"

"She’s gone, said it’s almost the New Year, and she needs to prepare for it. Doesn’t seem like she’s coming back to An City for New Year this year." Xuan Ting replied, "So she asked me to take you home."

This wasn’t an excuse from Su Li. After discussing with Feng Huaijin, they decided not to return to An City for New Year this year.

Su Li recalled spending the previous New Year with Feng Huaijin at the Feng Family in An City, and it wasn’t a good experience. Just thinking about that whole family gave her a headache, even though Fifth and Old Six were no longer significant figures.

Moreover, this year Feng Yi would be there too. The fewer people knew about this little girl, the better.

So after discussing with Feng Huaijin, she decided not to go back to An City.

The students had gradually begun their winter break, and the malls had already stocked their shelves with New Year goods, attracting quite a few customers to shop.

The malls were bustling, and a few bodyguards followed behind Su Li, there specifically to carry things.

Suddenly, Su Li noticed the bodyguards behind her tensing up. Before she could clearly see who was approaching, she heard that familiar voice: "Su Li."

Su Li quickly looked up and saw Feng Ciye wearing a dark blue wool coat, a scarf around his neck, his slightly reddened hands carrying some beautifully packaged gift boxes, standing a short distance away watching her.

Su Li became curious: "Fourth Young Master, are you here to buy New Year’s goods too? When are you planning to go back to An City?"

He smiled slightly, "I don’t plan on going back this year either."

Su Li felt surprised, her gaze sweeping over the gift boxes in his hands, and suddenly, in a teasing manner, she asked, "Since you’re not going back to An City, why have you bought so many New Year’s goods?"

"For my nephew," he replied with a smile.

Nephew?

Su Li was initially taken aback, then heard him repeat, "Tuanzi’s."

Su Li looked closely and found that those gift boxes were indeed favorites of children, ranging from a big pack of children’s snacks to toy cars and toy planes. There weren’t many regular household New Year’s goods.

Looking at them, Su Li felt a pang of melancholy.

She hadn’t been able to contact Tuanzi for several months now; ever since he deleted her, she’d heard nothing at all, as if they’d never known each other.

If Yiyi didn’t keep mentioning her brother, perhaps Su Li wouldn’t dare to hope they might meet again.

As these months passed, she wondered if Tuanzi was doing well in that world.

Had he been troubled by his guardian uncle?

Or had he and his Uncle King discovered any odd behavior from Tuanzi’s Uncle Feng Huaimu? Did they know not to get too close to Feng Huaimu?

Sometimes, Su Li didn’t dare to imagine what kind of difficult life a small child might lead over there.

Staring at those children’s gifts, Su Li felt lost in thought.

Most likely, Feng Ciye didn’t know there was almost a two-month time difference between their world and the other.

Most likely, Tuanzi had already finished celebrating the New Year and was preparing to start school there.

While Su Li was pondering, she heard Feng Ciye say, "Would you like to sit with me at the water bar in the mall?"
