"I'll stay, he'll leave."

"Let him stay, I'm leaving."

The two answered in unison.

The previous sentence was said by Huo Chenyu.

The next sentence was said by Lu Zhixing.

However, the meaning is the same; in the end, Lu Zhixing still made concessions.

Tang Li thought he didn't want to put her in a difficult position, but Lu Zhixing reached out and patted the back of her head, speaking softly like he was coaxing a child:

"After all, we're going to be together for life, and we'll be eating together every meal from now on. Honey, you're our guests, so we should treat you well. I'm going to the company to take care of some things, so you guys eat."

That's a brilliant move—a strategic retreat to advance.

Seeing that he had gotten a great deal, Huo Chenyu wasn't about to let it go and retorted sharply:

"I am the one who wants to be with Lili for the rest of my life, and we will eat together every meal from now on."

Lu Zhixing decisively conceded:

"So what? You leave! I'll stay!"

Well...

I've fallen into a trap!

Huo Chenyu scratched his head:

"Damn it, you old Lu, you tricked me!"

It seems that with them around, we won't be able to properly enjoy this feast.

Tang Li immediately grabbed them, one on each side, pulled them to the door, then let go and opened it.

"Please, both of you."

"Two people?"

Huo Chenyu simply couldn't believe it:

"I have to stay and eat with you, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be lonely."

Lu Zhixing, however, was quite perceptive; he put his arm around Huo Chenyu's shoulder.

"Loneliness isn't scary, what's scary is feeling nauseous. Let's go, Mr. Huo, let's have a little sparring session."

Huo Chenyu clung to the door, struggling:

"I'm not leaving. I want to stay and stay with Lili."

Like a child.

Lu Zhixing reached out and picked at his fingers:

"She doesn't need you to be with her."

Huo Chenyu groaned:

"She doesn't need me to be with her, so does she need you?"

Lu Zhixing couldn't help but smile:

"I won't stay, okay? If you don't leave, the late-night snack will get cold. Can't she even have a proper meal?"

These words have a magical power.

Huo Chenyu loosened his grip, straightened his clothes, and made a last-ditch effort:

"Lili, you hate wasting food the most. There's a whole table of delicious food. You can't possibly finish it all by yourself. Why don't I just bear with it and let him have a meal with me?"

As long as I can stay and be by her side.

Multiple light bulbs are fine.

This was Huo Chenyu's last act of defiance.

However, Tang Li bluntly retorted:

"It's late, gentlemen. Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Then I decisively called Huo Sitang and asked:

"Are you asleep? Are you hungry? Want to have a midnight snack? Call Dad, Mom, and your brother too."

Twenty minutes later.

Huo Chenyu had just been coaxed, tricked, and violently driven away by Lu Zhixing when the Huo family arrived.

Apart from Huo Yancheng and Wei Chaoyu, Huo Yishen and Huo Sitang were visiting this villa for the first time.

Tang Li didn't expect Huo Yishen to come; she thought he would definitely find a reason to refuse.

To her utter surprise, not only did they all show up, but they were all wearing pajamas!

Seeing Tang Li staring at their pajamas, the four of them became a little uneasy. Huo Sitang twisted the hem of her clothes and said somewhat awkwardly:

"It's rare to receive a call from my sister-in-law, and she's so kind to invite me. I was worried the late-night snack she prepared would get cold, so even though the whole family was already asleep, I really didn't want to miss it, so... I just came casually. It's a bit informal, but..."

When Huo Sitang roared, his family members wished they could ride on wheels of fire.

Huo Yancheng drove recklessly all the way.

Seeing them like this actually made Tang Li feel both warm and comforted.

Seeing that Huo Sitang was a little embarrassed, and her in-laws also seemed a bit awkward, Tang Li waved his hand:

"Please have a seat, I'll go upstairs and be right back."

After Tang Li finished speaking, she ran upstairs.

Two minutes later, she came down.

The four members of the Huo family all looked over at the same time, and then they all burst into laughter.

"Looks like tonight's pajama midnight snack party."

Huo Sitang was initially worried that Tang Li might think their first visit was too casual.

As soon as Tang Li changed out of her pajamas, Huo Sitang immediately understood why everyone in the family liked Tang Li so much.

At this moment, Huo Yancheng appeared slightly saddened:

"It's a pity that my eldest brother isn't here, otherwise our whole family could be together."

Huo Chenyu to him...

Tang Li picked up her chopsticks and placed a lobster on Huo Yancheng's plate:

"Your elder brother is with us tonight."

Wei Chaoyu immediately understood upon seeing the shrimp.

"No wonder he asked me for the shrimp seller's WeChat; it turns out he was trying to curry favor with you."

The familiar smell of shrimp made Huo Yishen subconsciously put on gloves, preparing to peel shrimp for Wei Chaoyu.

After finishing the shrimp that Tang Li had picked up, Huo Yancheng solemnly said:

"Since the late-night snack prepared by our elder brother is here, let's consider it as our elder brother eating with us. Come on, we're all family, don't be shy, let's eat."

Well...

There is family affection, but not much.

Huo Chenyu: Listen to me, thank you...

Besides the ones Huo Chenyu bought, there were also some made by Lu Zhixing, which also received unanimous praise from the Huo family.

Huo Yishen, in particular, praised her without reservation:

“Aside from having an unreasonable father, Lu Zhixing is a very good child.”

Sheng Chaosheng: Listen to me, thank you...

Not a single bite of this late-night snack was wasted.
