Lu Jueyu smiled when she heard his polite words and replied, "Brother Li Sang, you don't have to be so polite. Shitou is well-behaved and smart. I'm glad he came to visit me."
After she said this, she glanced at Shitou and added, "Brother Li Sang, if possible, I would like to take Shitou as my adopted son. When you are not around, you can just let him come over and play with my children."
When Li Sang heard this, he was taken aback. He hadn't expected that his neighbor would have this kind of interest in adopting children. Although he was happy that others liked his son, he had no intention of sharing him.
So after a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Thank you for appreciating my son, Sister-in-law. But I don't have any intention of doing that."
Lu Jueyu already knew he would refuse, but she still wanted to try—for Shitou's sake. Since he disagreed, she wouldn't push it.
