Li Qiao looked puzzled.

Putting her mind on hold, she stared at the man in front of her.

Caius felt guilty when he was stared at. He coughed lightly, and the heroic spirit he had just shown suddenly disappeared.

"Qiao Qiao, why are you going? Tell us, otherwise we can only worry about you here. You can't be so selfish."

It was the first time he spoke so fluently, and he was speaking to Li Qiao.

"Actually, it's nothing." Li Qiao was not in a hurry to leave. She walked past him and sat on the sofa.

Little Li Yao was still eating chestnuts. When he saw his mother coming, he picked up the plate and shared it with her.

Li Qiao ate one symbolically, then motioned for Caius to come and sit over.

Caius sat down, but felt very uncomfortable.

"I...I'm worried about you too."

"And, and..."

"Is there something you can't tell me...us?"

Caius's arguments were powerful and he stood straight with his hands on his knees.

"you're right."

Li Qiao nodded and said, "You will worry about me." After listening to her, she felt that it made sense.

"So, I'll tell you what happened."

She didn't want to say it.

"Actually, it's about Li Ci."

As soon as she said this, the little fellow beside her stopped eating chestnuts and just looked at her with his big eyes.

At this moment, Li Yao is studying upstairs.

Li Qiao gave him a brand new book, the English version, which was a little difficult for him now, so he has been studying it for the past two days.

She also didn't want to talk about Li Ci in front of the children.

But she promised Li's mother that she would at least ensure that Li Ci could live safely.

Knowing that it was about Li Ci, Caius suddenly became lazy, leaning on the sofa like a boneless person, "I say Qiao Qiao, why didn't you say so earlier..."

He thought he was in such a hurry to do something.

"You are quite tough."

Li Qiao knew who he was and looked at him teasingly, "Why, you don't want to pretend to be a pretty boy anymore?"

Li Qiao doesn't like any pretty boy at all, that's all just rumors, it damages her reputation.

It's obvious that Caius couldn't be some gigolo. The kind of life he led in the first half of his life was not at all like a gigolo.

Hearing her say this, Caius shook his head, "I am just a gigolo."

"The pretty boy is white, looks childish, looks young, and is a pauper. I have all these characteristics." Then why do you say he is not?

Li Qiao smiled at him and said, "First of all, a gigolo wouldn't talk to a financier like that. Secondly, a gigolo wants money, what do you want?"

Caius: “…”

Yeah, what does he want?

This question really stumped him.

He was thinking, but Li Qiao didn't have time to continue joking with him, as she had important things to do.

"Okay, now you can look after the child, wait, I'll be back soon."

She was very anxious at first, but after talking to Caius, she felt that there was no need to panic.

It’s okay to wait a little longer, Li Ci won’t die.

Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry, but she had to go.

Caius stopped her again, "Where are you going?"

He doesn't know anything yet.

"I'll go find Li Ci and bring him back."

Li Qiao spoke very casually, as if he was just going out for a walk.

But Caius knew that she was going to leave by plane.

"Can't you not go?"

"No, he's not popular. I won't go. No one will care about him. There's no such thing as letting things fend for themselves. If we ignore him, he might die out there. He's stupid, but this is too much."

"What did he do?" It seems like he did something bad.

Li Qiao actually didn’t want to say it, so he sneered, “What can he do? It’s just stupid.”

"His boss asked him to attend a drinking party. We don't know what happened inside, but he never came out."

Caius yawned, "Maybe he is resting in there."

As if worried that Li Qiao would be worried, he added: "You are such a good fighter, he is your relative, he should not be much different from you."

So don't worry, he can protect himself.

Self-protection ability...

Li Ci really doesn't have any.

"He didn't fight."

Li Qiao looked disgusted and said, "Li Ci can't even beat the old man who loves to play chess downstairs."

Caius: “…”

That's a bit hard to explain.

"Will it be dangerous? I'll go with you..."

"No."

Li Qiao stopped him from saying anything, "The children are too young, you play with them for a while, I'm worried about others."

These words made Caius feel elated, and he agreed immediately.

Just as he was about to change his words, Li Qiao ran away and told him, "I'll be back soon."

"I didn't even have time to turn around..."

Caius stood there blankly. Li Qiao's back had already disappeared, but he was still watching.

Little Li Yao heard everything they said, but he didn't understand. However, it didn't matter if he didn't understand, because his brother would understand.

So he recorded all of them and waited for his brother to listen to them when he was free.

"You are so stupid." He ate the sugar-roasted chestnuts, mumbling something in his mouth, and for the first time he looked at Caius without any admiration in his eyes.

When his son called him stupid, Caius did not ask the child what he meant by "stupid". He only knew that he wanted to send the child to a place where he could feel at ease.

It's okay even if he doesn't go home for a few days.

"Dad, if you dare to run, I will tell mom about it."

The child's light words dispelled all Caius's thoughts.

Oh no, there was another comment saying that he couldn’t even afford a plane ticket.

If you can’t afford it, then don’t go. He doesn’t care.

It's not that he doesn't like it, he just...

only……

Forget it, I can’t tell clearly.

"Kid, don't take advantage of my love for you and become lawless."

He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me tell you, when your father beat people up, you were not even born yet!"

Little Li Yao blinked, not afraid of him at all, "When was that?"

Caius: "...Ahem, let's not talk about this."

He suddenly sat on the sofa, covered his face with a pillow, and looked desperate.

Little Li Yao: “?”

I don’t know why my father suddenly became like this.

The elder brother was smart, so he went to find his elder brother.

He ran to find his brother. Caius blinked, took down the pillow, stood up and wanted to run.

He took just one step and collapsed again.

Can not be done.

He can't leave.

The child must not be alone.

Little Li Yao ran to find his brother, played the recording, and added fuel to the fire.

Li Yao understood.

Then he calmly put down the book and walked out with the little kid beside him.

Walk all the way to Caius.

Caius seemed to have a message written on him saying "I'm dead, don't bother me", but Li Yao still poked his leg.

"what you want to say?"

His voice was muffled.

Li Yao asked him, "What are you doing?"

"I'm reflecting." He suddenly took away the pillow and looked forward. "Being too responsible is not a good thing."

Li Yao didn't understand and didn't want to listen.

"I'm going to see my mom, do you want to come?"
