Li Wanting was annoyed by his scrutiny. "What are you looking at?"
Li Weihao retracted his gaze. "Xiao Xiao Hei has been here for four years. Apart from the four of us brothers and the captain, it doesn't get close to anyone else."
"I didn't expect it to find you on its own. I was wondering what special quality it saw in you."
"So, did you find it?" Li Wanting also wanted to know why Xiao Xiao Hei was so attached to her.
She had been with Xiao Xiao Hei for so many days and already knew that this wolf had been spoiled by its young owner to be like a child.
It was also wary of others like a child. Even if they weren't strangers, but people from this compound, it was still wary of them.
"I did." Li Weihao nodded. "Because it thinks of you as one of its own. You have the loneliness and arrogance of a wolf. You were transferred from the special forces, weren't you?"
"How... how did you know?" Li Wanting took a step back. This man's mind was too sharp.
Li Weihao stared into her eyes. "I heard that the few female soldiers in the special forces are all arrogant."
"Among them, the one who left a deep impression was the 'Iron Woman' Li Wanting, who didn't consider herself human. Unfortunately..."
Li Wanting turned and ran.
Since coming here, she had tried to avoid contact with the team members. She had deluded herself into thinking that as long as she didn't listen or look, others wouldn't know that she was the Li Wanting who had turned from an 'Iron Woman' into a fool.
Now, being pointed out her foolishness by this man who disliked her, she felt even more ashamed.
"Woo woo." Xiao Xiao Hei chased after her closely.
Looking at her retreating back, Li Weihao gently shook his head and said to the two children who were left behind, looking a bit stunned:
"Come, I'll take you to find your Aunt Li."
She ran to the entrance of the administrative building and stopped abruptly.
Xiao Xiao Hei, unable to stop in time, crashed into her.
Ignoring the pain, she leaped up, turned, and ran back. How could she have abandoned two children over two years old?
Once again, this woman threw herself into his arms. Li Weihao still didn't feel any aversion in his heart.
"Li Wanting, do you have a boyfriend?"
Li Wanting was startled. She looked up. "What... what are you saying?"
Li Weihao gazed into her big eyes. "I said, I want to be your boyfriend. Can I?"
"Xiao Xiao Hei likes you, Ji Qing and Ji Xiang also like you. We hugged four times the first time we met, so I've decided to pursue you."
Li Wanting was stunned. She hadn't been confessed to before, and she had heard all sorts of exaggerated prefixes, but she had never heard anything like this, something prefixed by a wolf and children liking her.
Four hugs?
She recalled how this man had frowned and disliked her touch.
She remembered that this man was the one Jiang Lin was pursuing.
She thought about this man's attractive appearance, which easily attracted admirers. She didn't have Zi Yu's confidence.
Therefore, she pushed him away. "I refuse."
"Reason." Li Weihao hadn't expected Li Wanting to refuse him.
"No reason." Li Wanting bent down and took Ji Qing and Ji Xiang's small hands. "Ji Qing, Ji Xiang, we're going back to work."
Ji Qing and Ji Xiang nodded their little heads. "Let's go mop the floor."
One adult and two children, plus a wolf, left. Li Weihao was not annoyed; instead, a sense of joy rose in his heart.
This woman was indeed extraordinary.
...
Spring equinox arrived, and Tian Jing became busy.
This year, she not only had to raise vegetable seedlings but also ginseng seedlings.
Moreover, she had to take sun-shading measures for the selected greenhouses.
The busier she was, the more problems arose.
The ginseng seedlings were ready for transplanting. Tian Jing carried the seedling tray to the greenhouse next to the duty room to begin transplanting.
She was stopped by Zhou Chengbin, who said that several foreigners with high noses and blond hair had found the courtyard.
When the security guards at the bridge checked them, those people claimed to be tourists.
They heard the commotion from the office and realized that these people were looking for someone.
He didn't know why foreigners would come to his uncle and aunt's courtyard. He asked, and those people were quite agitated. He could only come to find his aunt.
Tian Jing moved the seedling tray to the corner of the seedling shed before returning to the courtyard with Zhou Chengbin.
Five men stood at the entrance of the courtyard. They were all quite tall, with blond hair of varying shades, some curly, some straight.
One of the men was over forty years old.
Upon seeing Tian Jing, all five men scanned her with flirtatious eyes.
Tian Jing waved to Zhou Chengbin, who was about to reprimand the five men. "You go back to work. I can handle this alone."
Zhou Chengbin was worried. "Should we call the police?"
"No need, I'll handle it." As she spoke, Tian Jing walked up the steps past the five men, opened the courtyard gate, and gestured with her right hand. "Welcome, gentlemen."
The five men chuckled and walked up the steps. As they passed Tian Jing, one of them reached out to lift a strand of her long hair that had fallen on her shoulder.
Tian Jing dodged her head. "Please come into the courtyard to talk."
The men didn't mind her evasion. They entered the inner courtyard and, seeing the dead vines climbing everywhere, didn't pay much attention.
Tian Jing casually closed the courtyard gate and followed them into the inner courtyard. She stopped and asked, "What do you want with me?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the other four men immediately scattered, encircling Tian Jing in five directions.
The middle-aged man looked at Tian Jing. "We weren't looking for you, but now we can. You."
Tian Jing circled around nervously. "What... what do you want to do?"
A young man waved at her. "Don't be afraid, we just want to chat with you."
"Don't come any closer. Let's talk properly." Tian Jing circled around again, feigning fear.
"Wait a moment." The middle-aged man suddenly stopped and spread his arms, signaling the other four to halt.
But it was too late.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang."
With four consecutive thuds, the four young men fell to the ground simultaneously, their heads facing Tian Jing.
To be precise, their heads were right by Tian Jing's feet. If she had lifted her foot, they would have been instantly decapitated. Of course, Tian Jing would not be so bloodthirsty and cruel.
The four who fell reached out to grab her ankles. She waved her hand, and their eight arms were bound by vines.
The middle-aged man did not save his companions but turned and ran outwards.
However, as soon as he turned, his ankles were bound by two vines, and he met the same fate as his four companions.
Then, countless vines appeared around the five men, quickly coiling them into cocoons.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth to shout for help at the closed courtyard gate. As soon as he uttered the word "help," he fainted.
Tian Jing picked up a vine, preparing to string the five vine cocoons together, when the courtyard gate was knocked upon.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"
Tian Jing stomped her foot, and the messy vines in the courtyard retracted to their original positions.
She opened the courtyard gate. Outside stood Li Min and Ouyang Meihua.
Both of them looked at her and then behind her with concern. "Are you alright?"
Tian Jing shook her head, moved aside, and said, "Come in."
The five vine cocoons on the ground made Li Min pat her chest in relief. She knew no one could do anything to Sister-in-law.
Ouyang Meihua kicked a vine cocoon. Was this "Heroine Tian" bundling people like pigs?
After finding that the vine cocoons were motionless, she turned and asked Tian Jing, "Heroine Tian, are these alive or dead?"
