Liu Sisi yawned with fatigue.

“That’s a good idea! Perhaps, tomorrow you can bring Ah-Hua with you.”

If Ah-Hua could escape from there, she must know the way in. Bringing her along would certainly be helpful.

“It’s not that I can’t bring Ah-Hua, it’s just… I think Ah-Hua has had a tough time these days, better let her rest at home.”

Thinking of Ah-Hua’s emaciated appearance that he had seen earlier, and the clearly visible knife edge that could reach her bones, Di Yelei genuinely couldn’t bear to let Ah-Hua suffer again.

Liu Sisi pondered for a while and nodded silently, “Alright…”

A gentle sigh escaped from her mouth.

“Right! You lie down for a while first, I’ll bring her some food. She’s so thin, we need to properly nourish her back to health.”

Di Yelei thought about it and still felt uneasy about Ah-Hua. He got up again to prepare dog food for Ah-Hua.

“Don’t put too much meat in it! Be careful not to hurt her stomach as it might be weak!”

Liu Sisi quickly shouted from behind him.

“I got it!”

Di Yelei responded, warmed the food, and then left the kitchen.

Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua’s dog houses were located on either side behind the door of Di’s yard, each with their own dog house. At the moment, Ah-Hua was lying in her own dog house, with Ah-Huang whining non-stop and licking her fur.

During the time that Ah-Hua was missing, Ah-Huang had been very lonely and sad, always whimpering listlessly.

Now that Ah-Hua was back, Ah-Huang was so excited that it couldn’t stop, constantly cleaning her around.

“Ah-Hua! It’s mealtime!”

Di Yelei shouted, pouring the carefully prepared meat porridge for Ah-Hua into her feeding trough.

Ah-Hua opened her eyes and barked joyfully twice, took a couple bites from the feeding trough, and then lay back down in her dog house, seemingly drowsy.

This dog really is tired!

After carefully examining the clearly medicated wound, Di Yelei gently patted Ah-Hua’s head, and patted Ah-Huang as well, before he finally got up to check on the jujube red horse and went back inside the house.

Is Old Man Li alive or dead?

No matter what, he won’t let him go!

Early the next morning, the sky was still gray.

Although it wasn’t snowing, the frost that condensed every morning was truly cold!

Di Yelei called Zhang Peng and Li Wu. The three people discussed for a long time. They all felt that the cold cave had a strong suction force. It was not advantageous to have a large group, so they didn’t bring any extra people. They each brought two large bundles of ropes, led their own hounds, and headed towards the mountain!

As soon as Ah-Hua saw all the hounds were there, she wobbled out of the dog house and joined in, seeming to want to follow everyone up the mountain.

Li Wu looked at Ah-Hua and sighed, “How did this dog get so thin? Look at her siblings and then look at Ah-Huang’s size, they could wrap around her twice. Let’s just leave her at home!”

Everyone unanimously agreed with this.

Di Yelei also gently patted Ah-Hua, “Ah-Hua! You stay here and guard the house, we’ll bring back some delicious food for you when we return, okay?”

As he spoke, he pushed her back into the dog house.

Ah-Hua whined and wagged her tail. After walking a few steps, she picked up the leash with her mouth, and wailed pitifully at Di Yelei, her tail wagging forcefully.

Everyone felt a pang of sorrow, even Li Wu changed his mind: “Forget it, let’s take it with us. Anyway, we’re not hunting today. It should be fine as long as we don’t let it off its leash to prance about.”

With that decided, the trio then proceeded to head towards the mountains grandiosely.

Shortly after they left, an unexpected visitor arrived, breaking the tranquility of Liu Sisi’s life.

When Zuo Xingyu appeared before Liu Sisi, she was playing with Da Mao.

Da Mao, the child, was quiet and unobtrusive, so much so that one could hardly sense his presence. He would always play slowly on his own, without making a sound or speaking to anyone. No one else could communicate with him apart from YingEr.

This situation made Liu Sisi worried. Was he autistic?

She was trying to get Da Mao to talk when Zuo Xingyu came in.

With a displeased look on her face, Liu Zhi’er approached Liu Sisi and whispered: “Sisi, why are you… still mingling with him? If your brother-in-law and outsiders find out, then…”

“I had no idea he was coming today! He might be here to see Ye Lei.”

She also felt quite helpless, right?

However, she still remembered that she had instructed Zuo Xingyu during their last parting that there would be a price to pay for their next meeting. She wondered if he had brought enough compensation this time.

Zuo Xingyu was still dressed as usual, in a jet-black cloth clothing, his deep black eyes filled with coldness!

His thin lips were tightly pressed, like an eagle standing quietly on a mountain in the night, arrogantly aloof, yet with a dominance that looked down upon the world in solitary defiance!

There was a teacup at his side, evidently filled by Liu Zhi’er.

Placed on the other side of the table, just out of his reach, it was clear that he had not touched the teacup.

“Sisi…”

Liu Zhi’er came in with some unease, catching hold of Liu Sisi’s hand.

“Second Sister! You go out first! Sisi isn’t a child anymore, she knows how to handle things herself!” The peculiarly assuring smile on her face placated Liu Zhi’er, who was coaxed into leaving the room.

Turning around, Liu Sisi looked into the pair of inquisitive eyes of the man before her.

She raised the corner of her mouth, but did not say anything. She walked over to sit in the chair across him, casually playing with the handkerchief in her hand. She really didn’t understand why the women of this era were all fond of having handkerchiefs in their hands. Was it for wiping things conveniently?

In the standoff between the two, Zuo Xingyu was the first to concede, unable to refrain from making a fist greeting.

“I heard Mrs. Di is pregnant, congratulations!”

“Thank you.”

Regarding his congratulations, Liu Sisi accepted it as a matter of course: “Constable Zuo, you wouldn’t have come here today just to congratulate me, would you?”

Zuo Xingyu’s gaze was heavy: “Of course not, I from the Zuo family came here today to return something to Mrs. Di.”

In saying that, he leaned slightly, took a blue handkerchief from his chest, put it on the corner of the table, and slowly pushed it towards Liu Sisi while looking into her eyes.

Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows in surprise, looking at the bulging center of the handkerchief. It seemed to wrap a small box.

She curled her lip, casually took the handkerchief, lifted it, and indeed, a small box was revealed.

Glancing up at him, Liu Sisi threw aside the handkerchief covering the box, and casually opened it.

Zuo Xingyu sat as usual in his place tapping the arm of the chair lightly, a look of complacency on his face.

Liu Sisi looked down, peeked into the box, was startled, immediately stood up from her chair, her face turned pale and she froze on the spot!
