"What's on your mind, child?"
Ye Xue'e was taken aback, her delicate finger poking her daughter's forehead with a smile and a rebuke, "Your mother has said so much, but it seems I've spoken in vain."
"Mother, you seem to really like Senior Brother Ji."
Lin Qingluo, whose intelligence was unparalleled, sensed something amiss from her mother's inadvertently revealed maternal smile.
Considering one possibility, she couldn't help but feel goosebumps.
She was only twelve years old, and her mother wouldn't be considering settling a marriage so early, would she?
Oh, my dear mother!
Was her wonderful life just beginning, only to be bound by marriage?
Absolutely not!
She had to dispel her mother's thoughts as soon as possible!
"Mother, Qingluo has a very important matter to attend to. I must go to the Western Region and Southern Borderland. This time, I'll be farther away and away from home for a longer period. I'm sorry that I won't be able to accompany you."
