"Hmph, caught you!"

The two little ones raised accusations against the adults in unison.

The three people: "..."

They looked at each other, completely bewildered.

They were caught red-handed by Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an. What's worse, they had just chased the other person away so they could play with them. The "dignity" of adults was completely shattered at this moment!

Su Yueya didn't know what to say, so she tactically avoided the children's gaze.

Meng Yingxin pretended to be stupid and said, "It was the baby in my aunt's belly who said he wanted to play, so my aunt helped him play."

Hmm, very good, a perfect excuse.

Qiao Shouyan secretly enjoyed watching the show, finding it far more interesting than the mini-kitchen game itself.

Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an were very excited about their future younger brother or sister, and were incredibly tolerant of her, already feeling that this little one would be a part of their toys.

“Okay, if it’s my little brother who wants to play, then that’s fine!” Lu Siyuan said, agreeing generously.

"No, brother, not brother, it's sister! An'an wants a sister!" Lu Si'an missed the point again and started telling her brother that she wanted a sister more.

"Is your aunt a younger brother or a younger sister?" Lu Siyuan asked Meng Yingxin.

Normally, Lu Siyuan is very responsible as an older brother and usually coaxes his younger sister and doesn't argue with Lu Si'an. However, when it comes to his younger siblings, he has his own ideas and doesn't want to give in, which is why he asked his aunt.

Meng Yingxin: "..."

Huh?

Because the pregnancy is very early and the baby's gender cannot be determined yet, she cannot answer the question.

Furthermore, Xiaoyuan and An'an clearly had conflicting accounts, and it wouldn't be right for her to agree with either of them.

At this moment, Meng Ying had a sudden inspiration and noticed Qiao Shouyan, who was watching the show. She immediately pulled him out to be her shield.

"Honey, do you think I'm having a baby, a little brother or a little sister?" Meng Yingxin asked.

The two little ones immediately looked at their uncle with hopeful eyes.

Qiao Shouyan: "..."

I knew watching a play wouldn't be so simple; before I knew it, I had taken on the hopes of two little devils.

"Uncle, is it a younger brother or a younger sister?" Lu Siyuan asked.

He has both his son and daughter to care for; what is he supposed to do?

But Qiao Shouyan wasn't stupid; he knew how to deal with these two curious kids, so he used a feigned retreat to ask them a question in return.

“Uncle doesn’t know either. We’ll have to wait a while before we can tell you. But… Xiao Yuan likes his little brother, and An An likes his little sister. So if it’s not one of your favorites, you won’t let him play with it?” Qiao Shouyan asked.

If it were a younger sister, would Lu Siyuan not share his toys with her?

If it's a younger brother, will Lu Si'an not acknowledge him as his younger brother?

That doesn't seem right either.

"Never mind then, I'll let the baby play with it anyway," Lu Siyuan said.

“Me too, for the baby to play with!” Lu Si’an said.

I thought this little incident would make Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an forget about the three adults fighting over the mini kitchen, but after going around in circles, the two little ones were not swayed at all and still remembered what they came here for.

"Then, Auntie wanted to play because of the baby, but why did Mom and Auntie want to play?" Lu Siyuan asked seriously.

Hmph, they were just saying they'd been playing for too long!

Now it seems that the real intention is simply to drive them out and make room for them.

Those cunning adults!

Su Yueya was truly at a loss. She had been raising her two little ones until they were over two years old, and this was the first time she had encountered a situation like this. She had no experience whatsoever and was completely helpless.

Meng Yingxin escaped a disaster thanks to her child, and now she dares not say anything more, she can only pray for the two of them.

Qiao Xinruo, on the other hand, displayed remarkable quick wit at the crucial moment.

"So what?" Qiao Xinruo asked confidently.

Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an looked at their aunt with confusion.

“You can all play, so why can’t Auntie, Mom, and Uncle’s wife play? Besides, you’ve been playing for an hour already, so you should let us play now. Just like the swings in the yard, you can sit on them forever. Why can’t other children sit on them?” Qiao Xinruo asked.

So what if I'm just having fun!

“But the swing in the yard belongs to everyone, and the mini kitchen is for my brother and me!” Lu Si’an retorted.

"Besides, we gave the swing to other children. You're not children anymore, you're big friends!" Lu Siyuan also came to his senses.

Qiao Xinruo: "..."

Indeed, it's very difficult to reason with children!

Then she stopped talking.

"I don't care, I just want to play, we just want to play, you two tell me, will you let us play or not?" Qiao Xinruo actually started to act like a brat with the child.

Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an looked at the three adults and shook their heads helplessly.

They didn't mean to stop them from playing; they just found it strange, which is why they came back to challenge them. Now, seeing the adults' behavior, they think the children are so childish.

"How childish, you guys play," Lu Siyuan said, shrugging.

Following her brother's example, Lu Si'an agreed to let them continue playing.

So the three adults played happily without a care in the world, completely ignoring the two children who kept staring at them.

"Here, I made you tomato and egg soup!" Qiao Xinruo placed the food in front of Su Yueya with an expectant look on her face.

Su Yueya drank it all in one gulp, then commented, "Not bad."

"Sister-in-law, here's your stir-fried bok choy."

Meng Yingxin took it and ate it, praising, "So delicious!"

Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an gradually went from "observing with indifference" to "commenting with an air of maturity".

"Brother, Auntie added so little water to that soup just now, it wasn't enough for Mom to drink."

"Mom is also stingy with her stir-fried bok choy; she only put in one leaf."

"Do you think they genuinely thought it was delicious, or were they just acting?"

"I think it's more like acting."

"Oh well, they're just kids!" Lu Siyuan suddenly said out of the blue.

The three adults, who were preparing for the final dish in the competition, stopped what they were doing upon hearing this and looked at each other in disbelief.

child?

they?

No, this is a bit of a reversal of the natural order!

“Hmm,” Lu Si’an nodded, agreeing with her brother’s assessment, and even added fuel to the fire, saying, “They look like they’re only a year old, but we’re already over two years old!”

“That’s right, we’re older than them, so the older ones should give way to the younger ones. Let’s give way to them then,” Lu Siyuan said, accepting the fact that they should give up the mini kitchen.

“Yes, yes, we are polite children and should be considerate! Brother, let’s go find Milk and Flower to play with, and let them play in the mini kitchen by themselves.” Lu Si’an was very generous.
