It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

"To use an analogy, imagine I want to marry Louise, but the evil Earl Anderson stops me and threatens to sever his father-daughter relationship with Louise if we get married."

"But Louise was unwilling to sever her father-daughter relationship, and out of affection, I disregarded her wishes and forcibly kidnapped her. And Anderson really did sever his father-daughter relationship..."

That's all there is to it.

After explaining, Li Cheng continued to concentrate on watching the midday soap opera, while Louise continued to stare at him intently.

Why are you looking at me?

Li Cheng touched his face in confusion—he wasn't smiling!

"When will my brother kidnap Louise?" Louise hesitated for two seconds before asking.

Why would I kidnap you?

Li Cheng was taken aback.

“But if my brother doesn’t kidnap Louise, then Dad will marry her off to another man.”

Louise frowned slightly and said with difficulty, "Louise doesn't want to marry anyone else..."

She had just heard her father say that he would rather marry Louise off to any random man on the street than marry her off to her brother.

According to what my brother just said, shouldn't we hurry up and kidnap Louise now?

really weird.

Looking at the little girl's soft and lovely face.

Li Cheng froze for a moment.

Throwing out such a threatening multiple-choice question... That's a foul! Referee! That little girl has fouled!

But that question was really hard to answer.

"You know what being kidnapped means."

After a moment's thought, Li Cheng said in a sinister tone, "It means you'll be locked up in my house for life, living and eating there, and you won't be allowed to go out to play without permission!"

Louise frowned worriedly: "Is the prison in the basement? There are rats and cockroaches in the basement, Louise is a little scared."

Li Cheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, modern prisons promote humane management, ensuring that every cell has sunlight, and that there are people responsible for cleaning, so there are no cockroaches or rats."

Louise rubbed her tummy: "Won't Louise's tummy get hungry?"

Li Cheng thought for a moment and shook his head again: "A balanced diet, four dishes and a soup, with meat, vegetables and fruit."

Louise glanced at the cups on the coffee table and asked, "Then..."

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Li Cheng glared at Louise and interrupted her fiercely, "As a little girl who has been abducted, you should know your place! How dare you try to bargain!"

"Oh."

Louise stuck out her tongue, but still asked, "Does the prison have milk tea?"

Milk tea is delicious; without it, being kidnapped would be too unbearable.

"It depends on your performance."

Li Cheng snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Although prisons don't usually offer milk tea, it's not out of the question if the little girl behaves well—I've heard that modern prisons are quite humane, with each prisoner receiving a monthly shopping quota at the canteen, which might even include milk tea.

You received a satisfactory answer.

Louise chuckled happily, slipped her small hand into Li Cheng's large one, and said expectantly, "Let's go then."

This doesn't look like kidnapping at all.

It's practically like two young people making a pact to elope.

Li Cheng shook his head, sighed, and squeezed the soft little hand that had slipped into his palm.

Forget it.

Let's elope then.

Whether he admits it or not, Li Cheng found that he really liked this little girl. She was cute, well-behaved, and soft and comfortable to hold.

However, she couldn't overcome the obstacles posed by her age and family.

As for age, if you take the little girl home and raise her for two years until she grows into a young woman, then marrying her won't be a problem.

As for the issue of scumbags... well, so be it. You're not worried about having too many debts, and you're not bothered by too many lice.

If anyone asks in the future...

Everyone else only marries one wife, Li Cheng, you're a college student from the 21st century, how come you have several wives here?

He said: Ah, yes, yes, yes.

Just give up and that's it.

After making up his mind, Li Cheng observed the situation inside the room.

Seeing that the two were still engrossed in the midday soap opera, he grabbed the little girl's soft hand, stood up from the sofa, and tried to sneak past the two arguing in a way that wouldn't attract attention, quietly making his way to the door.

Unfortunately, compared to the petite Louise, the two were too large and were quickly discovered.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

In the midst of his busy schedule, Anderson noticed the two's subtle movements and hurriedly called out.

"We've been spotted! Run!"

Li Cheng immediately bent down, picked up the little girl's light body, and ran quickly towards the door.

Goodbye.

Next, just like in a second-rate soap opera.

A man in a black double-breasted suit, carrying a little girl in a long red dress that looked like a wedding gown, ran through the open doorway and out of the half-closed courtyard gate.

With the background music of a man shouting angrily behind them, they walked along Tulip Street into the morning sunlight until they reached Daffodil Street, where they flagged down a carriage and drove off completely.

Chapter 341 A Long-Awaited Double Update

How can I make a HappyEnding look like a BadEnding?

The director gave us the perfect demonstration in the movie "The Graduate".

Skipping over the general plot, in short, after the ending—that is, after the male lead steals the bride at the female lead's wedding and elopes with her onto a bus—the director doesn't call cut, allowing the crew to record an extra three minutes.

Within these three minutes.

The joy, excitement, and agitation on their faces gradually faded, replaced by a sense of bewilderment in their eyes—a bewilderment about the future, a bewilderment in the face of a cold, uncertain future.

fortunately.

As a successful man, Li Cheng doesn't need to worry about the hardships of life. He can provide Louise with the life she wants, live happily together, and wait for her to grow up without any difficulties or obstacles.

...Um, probably.

Li Cheng thought to himself.

However, after this elopement, their relationship officially changed from that of brother and sister.

Li Cheng had been misunderstood as a lolicon for a long time, which had given him a headache. But now that he had actually managed to abduct Louise and planned to raise her for two years before "consuming" her, he found himself unable to take things any further.

After all, I've seen it, touched it, and kissed it. Aside from anything sexual, I've basically done everything possible.

But he's not a lolicon; he just happens to like lolis.

As for Louise, the little girl was leaning against her brother's chest, a slightly silly smile on her face, full of anticipation for the future.

Compared to vows of eternal love.

For some reason, the little girl was more convinced by Li Cheng's claim that he would kidnap her and lock her up for life.

Although Louise never doubted that her brother didn't like her, the little girl, though a bit slow, was extremely perceptive and could tell from the slightest actions of those around her whether they were truly sincere towards her.

But receiving a definite answer in person still reassured Louise.

Thinking of this.

Louise's smile became even more goofy.

Just how stupid are they?

It's that kind of silly smile that makes anyone think they could be easily tricked into having a football team's worth of children.

Seeing her adorable expression, Li Cheng couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, while also feeling a little worried about the child's future intelligence.

Fortunately.

His children with Newton should have high IQs, as should Lavoisier's. It's not a big problem if one of them is a little slow; it just lowers the average IQ and reduces competition.

After a while.

The carriage stopped in front of the Union Tailor Shop. The coachman waited in place, and the two got out of the carriage.

Although there wasn't time to take my luggage, there were some important things I absolutely couldn't forget to take with me.

"Tom, how are the things I asked you to prepare coming along?"

"Everything is ready, boss. Put your things inside and I've asked the workers to hurry up and get them out."

Li Cheng accepted a light yellow suitcase from the shop manager, Tom, with satisfaction. As he did so, a lewd smile simultaneously appeared on the faces of both men.

"Boss, would you mind if we distributed those styles a bit more?" The store manager rubbed his hands together, looking ingratiating.

"Use it freely, use it freely, the copyright is completely open," Li Cheng said generously, waving his hand.

"Brother, what's inside?"

Louise poked the suitcase curiously.

"A little local specialty for Newton and the others," Li Cheng explained seriously, while switching hands to carry the suitcase, avoiding Louise's direction.

"Is it for food?" Louise asked.

“You can’t eat them, but some can be licked,” Li Cheng replied.

You can't eat it, but you can lick it?

Louise was stumped by Li Cheng's statement.
