Chapter 1297: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Wen Ren Ding ignored his biological father, stepmother, and the sister he adopted with his own hands. He just carried Shi Li into the gate and walked inside.
The servant, who had seen the opportunity, ran to the front and led the way for Wen Ren Ding.
Shi Li didn't know how this family got along with each other, so she didn't say much. She just hugged Wen Ren Ding's neck obediently without saying a word.
Walking through a long corridor from the front yard to the back yard, the familiar and moist smell made Shi Li slowly open her eyes.
Not far ahead, an artificial sea lake appeared that was larger than the one in Wen Ren Ding’s mansion!
There are even many beautiful pebbles deliberately placed by the water, making it so realistic that it seems as if there is really a sea here.
Such an inhumane way of spoiling a child shocked Shi Li to her core. She didn't react until Wen Ren Ding put her in the water, with her arms still hanging around his neck.
"I'm with you, don't be afraid." As a result, Wen Ren Ding thought that she was scared of being in a strange place, so he carried her back.
Shi Li finally reacted, let go of his hands and jumped into the water with a splash, with only his head exposed above the water.
"I'm fine, just go do what you need to do!"
This sudden change made Wen Ren Ding stunned for a moment. His brows frowned again and he stretched out a hand towards Shi Li.
Shi Li knew him too well, so she swam over quickly to cooperate. Otherwise, as expected, Wen Ren Ding would definitely go into the water to find her.
The two of them just returned to the old house, so they should keep quiet.
When Wen Rending saw her approaching, he slowly relaxed his brows and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Shi Li suddenly acted naughty and kissed him on the lips first.
Shi Li: It’s so boring to always kiss the forehead! How much better to just kiss the mouth!
At this time, she had not realized the seriousness of the problem. After the kiss, she looked at Wen Ren Ding with a smile, thinking that if this happened, Wen Ren Xinqing would secretly come to play with her later, and Wen Ren Ding would not be too angry even if he knew about it.
Wen Ren Ding looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes were dark and frightening, as if he suddenly understood something, or as if the seal had been lifted.
He reached out and easily picked up Shi Li from the water, held her in his arms, and bent down to kiss her.
At this moment of confusion, Shi Li finally understood one thing.
Actually, kissing the forehead was good before, at least it wouldn’t cause deprivation of oxygen. But now... I can’t describe it.
It was a long time before Shi Li was able to get back into the water. He didn't even show his head, and his whole body was hidden under the sea, motionless.
Wen Ren Ding took a deep breath, lowered his head to glance at his half-wet clothes, then turned and left.
All the servants had heard Wenren Xinqing's instructions long ago. They were far away and had no idea what had just happened. They only saw Wenren Ding's clothes were all wet when he came over, so they respectfully took him to change his clothes.
As soon as they left, Wenren Xinqing tiptoed out from another path. Seeing that there was no one around, she happily ran to the water's edge, lifting her skirt.
"Lili! Lili! I miss you so much!"
She shouted several times before Shi Li slowly emerged from the water.
Wenren Xinqing looked at her in surprise, "Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
Shi Li: ...
"I'm not sick, maybe the water is too hot."
"The water is hot?" Wenren Xinqing was even more confused, and she put her hand into the water to test it out. "It's so cold, how can it be hot?"
Shi Li: I really don’t know if this is real or just pretending…
In order to change the subject, she took out the newly woven silk and stuffed it into Wenren Xinqing's hand, "For you."
The glittering and colorful mermaid silk attracted Wenren Xinqing's attention. She took the mermaid silk and caressed it lovingly.
"I was originally thinking of sending the shark silk to the palace as this year's tribute, but His Majesty is ill again, so I decided to send some precious medicinal herbs instead. I can keep the shark silk for myself! It will look great as a headband!"
Shi Li looked at her holding the small piece of silk as if it were a treasure, and lowered her head guiltily.
"If you're not in a hurry, just wait for a few more days and I'll knit some more and make clothes for you."
"Forget it. I'm afraid my brother will chop me up if he finds out."
Wenren Xinqing repeatedly waved her hands to refuse, and looked around, "Lili, I don't know if you are used to it here. If there is anything that is not as good as my brother's place, please tell me and I will find a way. Don't put yourself in a difficult position."
Wrong yourself?
Shi Li looked around speechlessly.
Apart from the fact that it's not a real sea, there's really nothing to complain about here. How pretentious must she be to feel wronged!
She was just joking with Wenren Ding before, and she wasn't really so delicate as to demand for fine wine and dew.
The two of them didn't say much before Wang Cuilu also came over.
He first smiled friendly at Shi Li, and then sent Wenren Xinqing away.
"Jiao and I... this girl have something to say, you go first." Wang Cuilu felt a little awkward and didn't know how to address Shi Li.
