Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Niuniu’s Choice

Liu Sisi lowered her eyes and softly replied, “I understand.”

It was best not to tell him about these worrisome matters for now.

Di Yelei, when he was sick, was just like a kid. He would fall into a deep sleep after just a few words and was particularly clingy, always looking for her when he opened his eyes.

Liu Sisi had attempted to leave once, but he woke up before she even reached the doorway.

“Sisi?”

“You sleep, I’m just going to get some things.”

“You come up too, sleep with me,” Di Yelei shook his head, insisting on his opinion. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about waking up and not seeing her.

Clearly, the events from before had frightened him, leaving him without a sense of security.

“Alright, I’ll stay with you. You sleep too,” she said.

Liu Sisi took off her shoes and climbed into bed, snuggling up to him as she lay down.

Worried about touching his wounds, she slept a bit away from him, but he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

“Ye Lei, don’t do this, be careful of your wounds!”

“What’s ‘this’? Hehe, my wounds aren’t serious, there won’t be a problem as long as you don’t move,” he reassured her.

This frightened Liu Sisi so much that she dared not move at all and lay there stiffly.

She had initially thought she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep, but before long, she drifted off deeply.

Holding the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Di Yelei felt inexplicably at peace. He had barely missed losing her, and though he was injured, it was worth it to have her back healthy and well!

Comforted by this thought, he sighed contentedly and also closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

Not until the 7-day critical period had safely passed did Liu Sisi breathe a sigh of relief. Di Yelei was noticeably better as well, now able to eat on his own.

Liu Sisi finally found time to slip away from the room door, and the first thing she did was to find Di Hongyuan for consultation.

“…That’s the situation. Handing over Niuniu is absolutely not an option, but I’ve been thinking for days without coming up with a solution that would satisfy them,” she said, clearly vexed.

Di Hongyuan, however, had a different point of view, “Young Master Wuxin only stayed here for four days. Could it be that during these four days, he saw Niuniu? Niuniu, though only just over seven years old, is exceptionally sensible. She’s the complete opposite of Chou Chou. Why don’t you ask Niuniu how she got to know him?”

It was indeed necessary to carefully find out.

Kids of opposite genders at the age of seven should no longer sit together; after a girl reaches seven years of age, she needs to start avoiding suspicion. How did Niuniu get to know him?

After leaving Di Hongyuan, Liu Sisi headed straight for Niuniu’s room.

Niuniu was sitting obediently at her desk, practicing her writing. Among the triplets, she was the smallest in stature but had a remarkably calm disposition; Chou Chou was too unruly and hard to handle, while only Niuniu was like a pistachio, Liu Sisi’s most beloved and cherished.

Looking at Niuniu, who was so well-behaved, blinking her large, twinkling eyes at her, Liu Sisi struggled several times but couldn’t bring herself to speak.

“Mom, did you come here today because you have something to discuss?”

As Liu Sisi hesitated over and over again, Niuniu took her hand and silently comforted her.

Surprisingly, this calmed Liu Sisi’s heart.

“Niuniu, Mom came to talk to you today because I have something to tell you.”

“Mom, is Dad’s health bad again? Let’s go! Let’s go see Daddy together.”

As Niuniu spoke, she stood up.

Ever since Di Yelei was injured, the two children had become more reserved, often keeping him company with jokes and anecdotes to relieve his boredom. The moment Liu Sisi said she had something to discuss with her, Niuniu instinctively thought it concerned her dad.

“No, Niuniu, Mom came to talk to you about another matter.”

Liu Sisi tried to adjust her tone, but when push came to shove, she just couldn’t say it. She steeled her heart and with her eyes shut tight, blurted out, “Niuniu, have you met a very handsome man in the past few days?”

“Yes, Mom. He even talked to me and Chou Chou. Right, Mom, he also said I have good comprehension and that I would be twice as effective in learning medicine.”

“When did this happen?”

“… It was a few days ago, I guess.”

Niuniu wasn’t quite sure and realized, “Mom, does he want to take Niuniu as his apprentice?”

“You already know?”

Liu Sisi had wanted to keep it from her, but it turned out the other party already knew.

“He told me about it several days ago, but I didn’t agree. Mom, did I do something wrong?” Niuniu asked cautiously.

“Our Niuniu did nothing wrong. Sweetheart, don’t go to keep your dad company today; why don’t you rest for a while?”

After saying this, Liu Sisi hurriedly rose to her feet and left the room.

Under Niuniu’s bright, sparkling eyes, Liu Sisi felt as if she had nowhere to hide, and so made a hasty departure.

When she returned to the inner room, she found Di Hongyuan there as well; her smile faltered, as a bad premonition surfaced.

Indeed, the moment Di Yelei saw her arrival, he gestured frantically for her to come over, “Sisi, over here. Is it true what big brother said just now about Young Master Wuxin wanting to take Niuniu as his maid?”

Liu Sisi hesitated for a moment before saying, “I didn’t hear your conversation earlier, so I really don’t know exactly what was said. But it is true that Young Master Wuxin wants to take Niuniu away.”

“What did Niuniu say just now?” Di Yelei asked, facing Liu Sisi’s surprised expression and patting her shoulder, “Don’t be afraid, since the matter has come up, it needs to be resolved sooner rather than later; we certainly can’t be careless. What exactly did Niuniu say?”

“She said she doesn’t want to go at the moment.”

“If the kid doesn’t want to go, then just answer the other party honestly. If we need to, we can spend more silver to make the other party satisfied.”

Liu Sisi naturally wouldn’t object.

But the next day, a turnaround occurred.

As dawn broke, Niuniu came looking for her.

“What’s wrong? Niuniu, why did you get up so early? Did Chou Chou get into some trouble again?”

“Mom, it’s not about Chou Chou, it’s about me.”

Niuniu was not at all shy as she spoke, “I want to follow that Young Master Wuxin to learn medicine. When I have mastered my medical skills, if you or dad ever get a headache or a fever, we won’t have to go begging others for help.”

“Why have you suddenly changed your mind?” Liu Sisi’s eyebrows twisted into a knot.

“Actually… I’ve always envied those doctors who can discern medicinal materials and treat people. With such a rare opportunity this time, I want to learn! Besides, if I come back after a year and haven’t learned anything, I won’t have any regrets.”

Liu Sisi’s brows knotted as she looked at Di Yelei, “Ye Lei, what do you think about this?” She would naturally disapprove, but considering her daughter’s wishes, she still posed the question.
