Beloved Little Treasure

BLT 122

At the Hao Mansion's master bedroom, Qiu Li Luo and Hao Yan Que visited Yuan Gun Gun.

'Where's my Gun Gun?' Qiu Li Luo asked.

Qiu Li Luo sat on the bed, stroked Yuan Gun Gun's pale face and Hao Yan Che frowned.

'Xiao Che, tell me what happened,' Qiu Li Luo said.

'Qi Xue Yi is behind the murders,' Hao Yan Che said.

'Xue Yi?' Qiu Li Luo asked. 'Didn't she die long ago?'

'Is Qi Tu back?' Hao Yan Que interrupted.

'Yes,' Hao Yan Che said.

'Tell me everything that happened,' Qiu Li Luo said.

Hao Yan Che was more worried about Yuan Gun Gun.

'Dad, help me erase Gun Gun's memories from today,' Hao Yan Che said.

Hao Yan Que smiled and sat comfortably on the sofa.

'What's in it for me?' Hao Yan Que asked.

'I'll marry Gun Gun,' Hao Yan Che said.

'That doesn't count,' Hao Yan Que said.

'Dad, what do you want?' Hao Yan Che asked.

'Xiao Luo, do you have a request you want our darling son to grant?' Hao Yan Que asked.

Qiu Li Luo's eyes lit up, and she momentarily forgot how worried she was about Yuan Gun Gun. Qiu Li Luo walked to the sofa and sat on Hao Yan Que's lap.

'I want a loveable granddaughter like Gun Gun,' Qiu Li Luo said.

'Darling son, do you agree?' Hao Yan Que asked.

Hao Yan Che laughed coldly.

'Dad, do I have a choice?' Hao Yan Che asked.

Hao Yan Que stroked Qiu Li Luo's white hair and he smiled.

'Darling son, it's a deal,' Hao Yan Que said.

Hao Yan Che didn't leave Yuan Gun Gun's side. He caressed Yuan Gun Gun's clammy forehead.

'Dad, I'll give you a grandson too if you erase all of Qi Tu's memories,' Hao Yan Che said.

'Sounds like a fair deal,' Hao Yan Que said.

'Xiao Che, when will you give me and your daddy a grandson and granddaughter?' Qiu Li Luo asked.

'When Gun Gun gives birth to my children, I'll bring them to see you and dad,' Hao Yan Che said.

Hao Yan Che wasn't interested in having children. Yuan Gun Gun was the only person he needed.

'Xiao Che, do your best,' Qiu Li Luo said. 'Don't let mummy wait a long time.'

'Xiao Luo, first let's go and help our grandson see us soon,' Hao Yan Que said.

Hao Yan Que and Qiu Li Luo stood and walked outside the master bedroom.

Hao Yan Che kissed Yuan Gun Gun's forehead. He didn't agree with Hao Yan Que. If he and Yuan Gun Gun had to have children, he wanted Yuan Gun Gun to give him a daughter first.

Fifteen minutes later, Hao Yan Que and Qiu Li Luo returned. Hao Yan Que placed his hands on Yuan Gun Gun's head. A bright red light emitted from Hao Yan Que's hands, and he let go of Yuan Gun Gun's head.

'Darling son, don't forget you owe me and your mum a grandson and a granddaughter,' Hao Yan Que said.

'I promise,' Hao Yan Che said.

'Xiao Luo, let's go home,' Hao Yan Que said.

Hao Yan Que hugged Qiu Li Luo and they disappeared before Qiu Li Luo could protest.

Hao Yan Che pulled the bedsheet over Yuan Gun Gun's body, and he walked to the study room.

In the study room, Yi Tu reported to Hao Yan Che.

'Young master, I buried the victim's body and erased the evidence,' Yi Tu said.

'Um,' Hao Yan Che said. 'Here's a key and the address of an apartment in Sydney. Take Qi Tu to Sydney, and wait for him to accept he lost his memories and decides to start a new life.'

'Young master...' Yi Tu said.

'Go and perform your duty,' Hao Yan Che said.

The following day, Yuan Gun Gun sat in a daze on Hao Yan Che's lap during lunch.

Hao Yan Che fed Yuan Gun Gun a prawn.

'What are you thinking about?' Hao Yan Che asked.

'Why does it feel like I've forgotten something?' Yuan Gun Gun asked. 'But I don't know what I forgot.'

'Then don't think about it,' Hao Yan Che said and fed Yuan Gun Gun a piece of meat.

'Oh... I remember,' Yuan Gun Gun said. 'Didn't you say something about us getting married?'

'Yes,' Hao Yan Che said.

'Why do you want to marry me?' Yuan Gun Gun asked.

'No reason,' Hao Yan Che said.

'Do you love me?' Yuan Gun Gun asked.

'Perhaps,' Hao Yan Che said.

'I don't want to marry you,' Yuan Gun Gun said.

'After you marry me, I'll convert room eighty-five into a room for your small friends,' Hao Yan Che said. 'You can bring all your small friends from the Yuan Mansion here. You can eat ice-cream three times a week, and two different desserts every night. On the weekend I'll take you out wherever you want to go. You can read books at work, and I'll watch animation movies with you at night if I'm not busy. I'll buy you a fridge for you to store junk food, and I promise not to bully you often. Will you marry me?'

Yuan Gun Gun was tempted by Hao Yan Che's offer.

'And I'll get you a baby panda, a snow white baby fox and a snow white baby werewolf,' Hao Yan Che said. 'Two of every kind.'

Yuan Gun Gun was on the verge of accepting.

'Will you marry me?' Hao Yan Che asked.

'In the future will you love me?' Yuan Gun Gun asked.

'Perhaps,' Hao Yan Che said.

'Will you come home with me when I want to see my parents?' Yuan Gun Gun asked.

'Yes,' Hao Yan Che said.

'Will you hit me if I do something wrong?' Yuan Gun Gun asked.

'Yes,' Hao Yan Che said.

'I don't want to marry you,' Yuan Gun Gun said.
