Little Qi's Side 23

Late at night, by the sea.

Auntie Hong tidied up the house and called out to the boy by the sea. "Young Master, it's time to eat."

He Yanzhi was sitting on a rock by the sea. When he heard the call, he turned his head. "Got it."

"Why are you coming home so late these past two days? Your grandmother is asking." Auntie Hong took a coat for him. "Are you with that little girl from before?"

He Yanzhi nodded as he walked back. "I'm with her."

"I've never seen you like this with a girl. Looks like you really like her," Auntie Hong said with a smile. "Young Master, I know that all these years, you have been "misbehaving" outside, constantly creating the image that you were mingling in society when in fact, you just wanted to prevent your second uncle from coming back to fight for your parents' inheritance. Does that little girl know about these things?"

He Yanzhi shook his head. "There's no need to drag innocent people into my business."
