Mr. Jiu saw the unpleasant expression on his face and couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. He spoke unhurriedly:
"This Liyuan is so big, but living alone here feels quite lonely. As I get older, I just want more noise and excitement. Little Jin'er, can you bear to see me growing old and lonely?"
"Ninth Uncle, you're still young, not old at all. Fine, fine, I'll stay and eat with you."
He patted her on the head and gave Lu Qing a deliberately provocative glance:
"Good girl, Little Jin'er truly cares about Ninth Uncle."
Lu Qing was so angry that his ears turned red. Shameless old man! Her head—only he could touch that!
That word "good"—only he was allowed to say it to her. And any alone time at night—those moments should exclusively belong to him!
He grinned and pretended to care as he asked:
"Ninth Uncle, why don't you find yourself a woman? When people get older, without someone by their side, it can be so lonely and cold, right?"
