Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Shall we settle our accounts?

Once they returned to Li Garden, Jian Dan got out of the car just to be hoisted onto Chu Liyuan’s shoulder. “Uncle, what are you doing?”

Chu Liyuan gently patted Jian Dan’s butt with his hand. “Behave yourself!”

Instead of heading back to the main house, Chu Liyuan carried Jian Dan to the back garden. “Uncle, where are you taking me?”

Chu Liyuan didn’t respond but the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile as he quickened his pace.

It was only when they arrived in the flower field that Jian Dan realized—Uncle had intended to bring her here!

“Uncle, what made you suddenly want to come here?”

Chu Liyuan gently set Jian Dan down on the bed, his hands planted on either side of her body, trapping her. “Jian Jian~ Isn’t it time we settle our accounts?”

“What accounts? I don’t understand what you’re saying, Uncle!” Jian Dan turned her gaze away, feigning ignorance.

“You don’t understand? No matter~ I can help Jian Jian remember.” As the Uncle drew closer, Jian Dan immediately caved in…

“Uncle, I was wrong!”

“Jian Jian’s become bolder, daring not to answer my calls? And even playing with other boys?”

“I didn’t do that!”

“Hmm?”

“It was that person who came to us on his own initiative!” Jian Dan’s voice grew softer.

“Oh~ so I wronged you?”

“Of course not, how could Uncle be wrong? It’s all my fault. Next time I go out, I’ll hang my marriage certificate on my chest and tell everyone I’m already taken!”

“Hmm! That’s a good idea!” Chu Liyuan lifted Jian Dan’s chin.

“Ah? Uncle, are you serious?” Jian Dan had just said it off the cuff, not expecting Uncle to agree.

“Why wouldn’t I be serious?”

She dug her own grave!

“Come on!”

“Come on what?”

“Shouldn’t Jian Jian take the initiative for the mistakes she’s made?”

Jian Dan’s face turned red, and she tried to flee, only to be caught by Chu Liyuan again. “Since Jian Jian is shy, I guess I’ll have to do the work…”

The first rays of the morning sun warmed Jian Dan’s eyes as she slowly opened them—seeing such a handsome face first thing in the morning was a special privilege that not just anyone could envy!

“Jian Jian, is it really okay to gaze at me so passionately this early in the morning?” Chu Liyuan said as he opened his eyes.

“Uncle, when did you wake up?”

“Just when you were mesmerized!”

“But Uncle didn’t open his eyes, how did he know I was looking at him? I was clearly enjoying the outside view!”

“Some things can be seen very clearly even without eyes!”

The glass room was filled with pink bubbles…

No sooner had they returned home that Uncle Zhang came over. “This morning a young lady came looking for the young mistress, but since I did not recognize her, I did not let her in!”

“A young lady?” Jian Dan pondered… then, as if thinking of something, she dashed out.

As expected, she saw Molly leaning against the outer fence the moment she stepped out of the door.

“What misdeeds have you been up to? I sent you so many messages and you didn’t reply?” Mo Li asked Jian Dan upon seeing her.

“What are you talking about? What misdeeds! I just fell asleep and didn’t hear them!” Jian Dan guiltily looked away.

Seeing Jian Dan’s demeanor, Molly had a clear understanding and did not press on. “Aren’t you going to ask me in? I’ve been waiting here for a long time.”

“Oh! I forgot, come in!”

Molly followed Jian Dan into Li Garden…
