And when Wanqing was at the Mu family's house, Mu Sijie had confessed to her before, and Wanqing had also rejected him.
So, what kind of man did Wanqing really want?
"I'm sorry, I don't think we're a good match." Lu Wanqing said after a long silence.
Not a match, that was the truth. Lu Wanqing could say with certainty that she had never felt that fluttery feeling towards Zhong Li Feiyu. Although Zhong Li Feiyu was a good person, he wasn't the type she liked.
Zhong Li Feiyu opened his mouth, and after a long while, he suppressed his racing heart and agreed, "Okay." The word hung in the air, inexplicably heavy.
The hopeful anticipation in Little Zhong Li Yi's eyes turned into confusion, then sadness. He didn't understand. Why didn't Mommy agree? Was Daddy not good enough?
Lu Wanqing thought about it, then looked down at Little Yi. As expected, she saw the sadness in his eyes. She raised her hand to comfort him, "Little Yi, don't be scared. No matter if Mommy marries your Daddy or not, Mommy will always be Little Yi's mommy, and that will never change."
Little Zhong Li Yi wasn't comforted. He looked at his mother and couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't Mommy like Daddy?"
As Little Zhong Li Yi asked this question, his hands, placed at his sides, clenched slightly. He felt nervous and insecure.
Zhong Li Feiyu also tensed up at this. He didn't want to keep staring at Lu Wanqing, but he couldn't help himself. He really wanted to hear the answer. Did she really dislike him that much?
Lu Wanqing felt helpless. This question was really difficult to answer, and it was easy to make the child sad.
But ultimately, she had to face it.
"It's not that I dislike him. It's just that my feelings for your Daddy aren't that kind of feeling. It's more like... a liking between guardians?" Lu Wanqing thought for a moment and said seriously.
"A liking between guardians?" Little Zhong Li Yi was confused.
Lu Wanqing nodded. "Yes, it's that he's a good father. When your Daddy takes care of you, even though some of his methods aren't ideal, he genuinely loves you, Little Yi, and genuinely wants what's best for you. So, Mommy thinks he's a good father, a qualified guardian, and Mommy likes him very much."
Little Zhong Li Yi: "..." He didn't understand.
Mommy said she didn't like him, and then she said she did. So, did she not like him, or did she like him?
Little Zhong Li Yi hesitated, then turned to look at his father.
"It's getting late, time for dinner. Let's go downstairs and eat," Zhong Li Feiyu said.
Lu Wanqing was startled, then raised her wrist and checked her wrist-mounted computer. Only then did she realize it was already so late.
"Okay." Lu Wanqing stood up and turned to Little Yi, "Little Yi, let's log off. It's time to eat."
Little Zhong Li Yi quickly agreed, "Okay."
The three of them logged off the star network together. It was indeed time for dinner. However, to Lu Wanqing's surprise, the Marshal was also back for dinner today.
Marshal Zhong Li was sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs. When he heard the movement upstairs, he looked up towards the stairs. Seeing Lu Wanqing coming down with Zhong Li Feiyu and Little Yi, his stern face immediately broke into a smile.
Marshal Zhong Li also stood up, a kind smile on his face, as Lu Wanqing descended the stairs.
"Wanqing, thank you for handling this matter," Marshal Zhong Li said proactively.
When he had previously arranged for Lu Wanqing to leave with Little Yi, he had prepared for the worst. Later, when the butler told him that Miss Lu and Little Master intended to find Feiyu, he still felt that the chances were slim. He even hoped they wouldn't go, as the border planets were too dangerous, and it would be trouble if they encountered danger.
But Zhong Li Xing had never expected that Lu Wanqing and Little Yi would actually find Feiyu so early. If it weren't for their help, the Zhong Li family and the Seventh Legion would have been in trouble this time.
"Ah, it's nothing. It was all Little Yi's idea to go. Little Yi was very worried about Daddy." Lu Wanqing said a little shyly, quickly pushing Little Yi forward.
Zhong Li Xing and Zhong Li Feiyu both looked at Little Yi. It had to be said, at this moment, the whole family felt proud. Because when their family was in trouble, they all worked together. Even Little Yi, who was only five years old, was working hard to protect his family and their home. It was wonderful.
"Little Yi is wonderful, and you are wonderful too," Zhong Li Xing said to Lu Wanqing seriously. "Wanqing, we in the Zhong Li family are not ungrateful people. We owe you a favor this time. If you ever need anything from the Zhong Li family in the future, you can always come to us. As long as we can do it, we will do our utmost to help you, no matter when."
This was Marshal Zhong Li's promise?
Lu Wanqing had to admit, she was excited. She quickly nodded and thanked him, "Then Wanqing thanks the Marshal here and now!"
This was the Marshal, the renowned Marshal of the Seventh Legion in the Federation. To have him owe her a favor, wouldn't that mean she had another life-saving charm for the rest of her life?
Ah, ah, ah, she felt thrilled just thinking about it!
Lu Wanqing was very excited, and she didn't hide her joy. She was very happy, very pleased, and directly showed this emotion on her face and in her demeanor.
Zhong Li Xing and Zhong Li Feiyu were both stunned for a moment. Even Little Zhong Li Yi found it a little amusing. Mommy looked so happy, she was really cute!
"Let's eat, or the food will get cold," Marshal Zhong Li said quickly.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Lu Wanqing suddenly felt a bit stiff. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the meal Marshal Zhong Li had made last time. Could today's dinner also be made by Marshal Zhong Li?
Lu Wanqing had some residual fear.
However, she couldn't show such emotions. She carefully controlled her emotions and followed them into the dining room.
Upon entering the dining room and seeing the table laden with colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes and soup, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging by the appearance, today's dinner was probably not made by Marshal Zhong Li himself.
Dinner was very enjoyable. After finishing, Little Yi had to go for training. Everything had returned to normal, and their lives should gradually get back on track.
Lu Wanqing and Little Yi hadn't trained for a long time, and both mother and son were looking forward to it. However, Lu Wanqing wanted to play, while Little Zhong Li Yi secretly resolved in his heart that he must train hard and become stronger so that he could save his father when he encountered danger in the future and help his father!
However, neither of them expected that halfway there, someone would rush up and stop them.
"Admiral Feiyu, Miss Song is outside the residential area. She said she has something to see you about," the messenger said.
Lu Wanqing frowned subconsciously at the mention of Miss Song. Was it Song Yan?
Zhong Li Feiyu also frowned, but it was only for a moment. He quickly suppressed his emotions and said coldly, "Tell her to leave. I have nothing to talk about with her."
The person was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and left.
Lu Wanqing recognized the person. He was a security guard in the military dependents' area. She saw him sitting in the guardhouse every time they entered the area, monitoring people coming and going.
But why was Song Yan looking for Zhong Li Feiyu?
And why couldn't Song Yan enter the military dependents' area anymore? She even needed a security guard to report her presence?
Moreover, Zhong Li Feiyu was unwilling to see her.
