Han Lushi held the small hand tightly. "Captain Tian, Mayor Li, I truly love Lili."
"I know I am too old, and I know that with my status, being your son-in-law would make you even more uncomfortable."
"After all, your three children are all in specialized teams."
"But I really can't bear to let Lili go, and Lili likes me too. Please grant us your blessing."
Li Zhengguo clenched his fist and swung it out.
"Dad!" Li Weili cried out in surprise, turning her head to block her father's punch.
Tian Jing was sitting facing the door, with Li Zhengguo to her right.
Han Lushi and Li Weili sat opposite Tian Jing, but Li Weili was to Han Lushi's left.
This meant that as Li Zhengguo threw a punch at Han Lushi, it swung directly in front of Li Weili.
Han Lushi, with quick reflexes, shielded Li Weili in his arms and raised his hand to catch Li Zhengguo's fist.
"Mayor Li, I'm on a mission. I can't get hurt without reason. Otherwise, you can hit me however you want."
After speaking, he released Li Zhengguo's hand and looked down at Li Weili in his arms. "Lili, are you okay?"
Li Weili shook her head, withdrew from his embrace, and sat up straight, looking at Li Zhengguo.
"Dad, you actually didn't stop?"
Li Zhengguo turned his head away from her, thinking of the one who always sided with others.
Girls will always be drawn to outsiders! Tian Jing secretly shook her head, her daughter was already taken.
Han Lushi squeezed Li Weili's hand. "Lili, you can't talk to your dad like that. He knows I can catch it. From now on, never stand in front of me."
"You just need to hide in my arms or behind me. Don't cause me trouble, and don't make me worry."
Li Weili turned her head and glared at him. "You, you despise me..."
"Shh!" Han Lushi whispered, forbidding her to continue. "I will never despise you."
"My makeup skills can fool even my teammates, yet you can recognize me at a glance."
"If I don't prepare you beforehand, and you rush out in what you perceive as a moment of danger during one of my missions, what will happen?"
"Not only will it ruin my mission, but it will also put both of us in danger."
"My missions are usually quite dangerous, and ordinary people cannot be involved."
"If your identity is exposed to my enemies, you will become my weakness. You will either live in danger every day or lose your freedom and not be able to go out."
"This is also one of the reasons why I hesitated last year."
Li Weili covered her face, realizing she had become the woman people talked about who lost all IQ when in love.
Seeing her like this, Han Lushi said nothing more and looked up at Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo.
"Lili said she won't marry out. I'm an orphan, and I'm willing to join the Li family."
Tian Jing glanced at her sulking husband and shook her head at Han Lushi.
"Let's talk separately. Lili, you come with me into the room. Han Lushi, you and Mayor Li can chat outside."
Li Weili, with her head down, followed her mother into the east room.
Han Lushi looked at Li Weili's appearance with some concern.
Li Zhengguo waved his hand in front of him and gestured towards the door.
Once the two of them had left the main hall, Li Zhengguo threw a punch at Han Lushi.
This time, the fist was aimed at Han Lushi's body. Han Lushi did not dodge, letting him hit.
After Li Zhengguo's fist hurt, he let go. "Don't think that just because you let me hit you, I'll agree to you marrying my daughter."
"I won't marry her, I'll join the Li family."
Han Lushi's words made Li Zhengguo choke, then he impatiently waved his hand.
"My wife runs the household. She has the final say."
In the east room, Tian Jing asked her daughter with concern if she had any physical discomfort.
Li Weili looked up in surprise. "Mom, you're not scolding me?"
"Scolding you for what?" Tian Jing reached out and stroked her daughter's hair.
"Between you and Han Lushi, is it as he said?"
Li Weili nodded. "Yes, I fell for that cold gym teacher last year."
"Before the semester ended, he left. I was both happy and angry."
"Happy that he was no longer my teacher, angry that he left without a word."
"When I saw him again, I was very happy, but he said he didn't know me. During our subsequent interactions, I increasingly felt that he was indeed the gym teacher."
"Yesterday, he called me to meet and discuss matters, and said it was inconvenient to meet outside, which made me very sure he was him."
"Actually, before we got intimate, he used a cold towel to wipe my face and forehead and asked if I knew who he was?"
"I did know. If I hadn't known it was him, I would have called you to save me."
"After I said his two names, he told me his name was Han Lushi. He wanted to say more, but the medicine took effect, and I didn't care about anything else."
"When you mentioned that he was the little captain of the martial arts team, I felt a little deceived. I felt wronged in my heart and deliberately lost my temper at him."
"Isn't it said that men don't cherish after they get what they want? I was just testing him."
"You," Tian Jing lightly tapped her daughter's forehead. "What now? Are you really going to get the marriage certificate?"
Li Weili protested. "Did you eavesdrop on us?"
"Do I need to eavesdrop?" Tian Jing refused to take the blame. "Your voices were not quiet at all."
"Besides, shouldn't I listen to how he's coaxing my daughter?"
"Mom~" Li Weili hugged her mother's arm and pouted. "He's your subordinate, and you have two brothers and a younger brother watching over him. Aren't you still worried?"
Speaking of her three sons, Tian Jing asked her daughter very seriously.
"You know that your two elder brothers and younger brother come home only a few times a year, and sometimes only once every two or three years."
"Marrying someone like that would be even harder than being a regular military wife. Have you thought it through?"
"I'm not afraid," Li Weili shook her head. "He has no family, so he'll be with me when he has time off."
"He's often away from home, so he'll feel guilty and treat me even better."
"If we're not constantly together, the novelty can be maintained for a long time."
Tian Jing sighed. "I never expected my daughter would marry a specialized team member too. From now on, I won't be able to be so hard on my three daughters-in-law."
Li Weili smiled. "Mom, you could never be a bad mother-in-law."
Tian Jing sighed again. "Let's get the certificate first, and postpone the wedding until your second sister-in-law is married."
"You need to pay attention to your body. Is it your ovulation period?"
Li Weili shook her head. "Recently, I've been busy with my graduation thesis and dealing with company matters, so it's been chaotic and I can't be sure."
This could only be left to fate. Tian Jing then turned to the matter of the Chinese medicine.
"Now, tell me about the black tea."
"I don't know either," Li Weili shook her head. "I bought it from the small supermarket at the intersection. I buy a bottle of black tea from that small supermarket every day after work."
Tian Jing chided, "This is called a bad habit."
Li Weili nodded. "I've learned my lesson. From now on, I'll only drink boiled water I boil myself."
"You can't live here anymore either," Tian Jing told her daughter about the bet between Old Master Shen and his group of elders using Ginseng Root Solidification Pills.
"It's impossible for you to live a peaceful life. Even if I don't reveal Jingyuan Company, you'll only last until graduation."
"Go to the top floor of the company and keep Ouyang Bobo company."
As more and more people paid attention to Jingyuan Company, Ouyang Lei had moved to the top floor of the company.
He often complained to her about losing his freedom and urged her to release him quickly.
Li Weili could only agree. In her eyes, the top floor of the company was like a cage, trapping both body and mind.
Her mother had told her to be careful, but she had only thought about commuting with Uncle Le and the others, not realizing she could be designed from above.
