The capital was thousands of miles away from Rongcheng.
If she went, she didn't know how long it would be before she could see her brother.
They were the only siblings left in their family. Being separated again was something she couldn't bear.
Li Mumu seemed to sense his sister's wavering resolve. He knew she had been cooped up at home all these years and was truly bored.
He wanted to tell her not to worry about him and to go to the capital with Su Xiaotian.
However, he didn't voice his thoughts.
Over the years, the siblings had relied on each other for warmth. He didn't want to be separated from his only sister.
He still had to cure his sister's illness and find a good man for her to marry before he could rest easy.
Su Xiaotian also noticed Li Linlin's interest and smiled at Li Mumu.
"Sister Linlin, Brother Mumu is doing business with my brothers now. He'll have to go to the capital sooner or later. Even if he doesn't settle there, he'll be traveling back and forth."
Hearing Su Xiaotian's words, Li Linlin's eyes immediately sparkled with brilliance.
"Really? Brother!"
Li Mumu wanted to say that he probably wouldn't go to the capital, but the words stuck in his throat. Some things were uncertain.
What if he did go to the capital in the future?
Besides him, his sister had no friends in Rongcheng.
She rarely liked anyone, and if she went to the capital, she might make a good friend.
"Xiaotian, is what you're saying true?" Li Mumu looked at Su Xiaotian with hopeful eyes.
Su Xiaotian nodded solemnly.
Su Shouwen felt his whole body surge with excitement at that moment.
Li Linlin was going to the capital with Xiaotian?
This way, he could see this lovely girl all the time?
Su Shouwen glanced at Li Linlin quickly, then buried his head in thought.
He didn't even dare to look to the side.
As a result, no one noticed that Su Shouwen's face had turned completely red.
Chi Yiyuan looked at Su Xiaotian strangely. What was this girl planning now?
Why was she trying so hard to lure a girl she had just met to the capital?
However, since it was a girl, he naturally wouldn't mind.
If it were a young man, he would definitely find a way to sabotage it.
He wouldn't allow any other competitors to appear around Xiaotian!
Wait, Xiaotian's real intention wasn't to lure this young man named Li Mumu to the capital, was it?
Li Mumu had a very close relationship with the Su family now. Perhaps Xiaotian just thought this young man named Li Mumu was quite good.
Su Xiaotian was unaware that Chi Yiyuan's mind was racing with so many thoughts.
Her heart and eyes were filled with this girl, who might be her future sister-in-law.
The more she looked, the more Su Xiaotian felt that this girl was excellent. She was beautiful, spoke gently, and was very polite.
It was no wonder her elder brother was already smitten.
Although Linlin was a bit frail, she looked even more beautiful, like a woman from a Jiangnan water town depicted in a painting, evoking tender feelings!
The more Su Xiaotian looked, the more she liked Li Linlin.
Especially sitting next to her elder brother, they looked pleasing to the eye.
Su Xiaotian's eagerness was almost impossible to hide.
When the people around saw Su Xiaotian's expression, they all found it a bit strange. Did this little girl like Li Linlin that much?
Li Linlin listened to the conversation between her brother and Su Xiaotian, knowing that her brother was considering letting her go to the capital.
But she herself really couldn't bear to leave.
"Brother!"
"Linlin, if you want to go, then go. Your brother might help with deliveries in the future and can come to see you in a few days!"
Li Linlin firmly shook her head, "Brother, no. If I leave, who will take care of you?"
The siblings depended on each other. The sister was responsible for earning money, and the brother was responsible for dealing with others outside to earn a living for them.
Li Linlin worried that if she left Rongcheng, her brother might not even have enough to eat.
"How could that be? Your brother can cook too, he just doesn't cook as well as you," Mumu affectionately stroked Li Linlin's hair.
"You don't even like your own cooking!" Li Linlin said stubbornly.
She couldn't let her brother suffer for her own desires.
Looking at the siblings like this, Su Xiaotian felt like she was the bad guy who insisted on separating them.
But she didn't seem to be wrong. The siblings would eventually have to separate.
"Sister Linlin, in the future, Brother Mumu will marry a sister-in-law who can take care of him. You don't need to worry too much."
After Su Xiaotian said this, Li Linlin was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this.
But not thinking about it didn't mean it wouldn't happen.
One day in the future, her brother would indeed get married and have his own children.
So, the time she could spend with her brother was really not much, right?
But why did she feel a little uncomfortable?
It was as if something of hers was being snatched away.
A flicker of sadness crossed Li Linlin's face, but it was only for a fleeting moment.
Then, Li Linlin came to her senses.
Her brother would definitely get married, and she would also have her own home in the future. She just didn't know if her frail body could bear a child of her own.
Did Xiaotian mean it when she said she could cure illnesses?
When Li Linlin looked at Su Xiaotian with hopeful eyes, Su Xiaotian herself found it incredibly strange.
How could this be?
Why was she looking at herself like this? She was still reluctant to leave her brother just now, but now she was looking at herself like this, which seemed a bit odd!
But Su Xiaotian couldn't just blurt anything out.
At this moment, Li Linlin asked, "Xiaotian, do you think my illness can really be completely cured?"
She felt that if her illness could be completely cured, her brother would be much more at ease when he got married in the future.
Su Xiaotian smiled and nodded, "We'll have to see. But judging by your complexion, there shouldn't be any major problems, and it should be treatable."
Looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse, looking was the first step. She felt that Li Linlin's physical condition was not a big problem.
Li Linlin didn't get the answer she was hoping for, but she had some hope, and her spirits lifted.
"Everyone, let's eat quickly. The food will be cold and not tasty," Li Linlin urged everyone to eat. After the meal, she could ask Su Xiaotian to examine her.
Everything would be discussed after the examination.
The meal lasted nearly an hour, and everyone ate happily.
Only Su Shouwen kept his head down, eating without looking up.
Su Xiaotian secretly observed her elder brother and couldn't help but chuckle.
What a failure, liking a girl but not even daring to raise his head.
She'd have to talk to her elder brother later and tell him to learn from Professor Huo.
He needed to learn Professor Huo's shameless pursuit of his wife.
