Listen, this is what I said...

He doesn't seem very welcome.

Caius' smile paused, but the next second, it deepened, "Baby, do you hate me so much?"

The sentence just now was said by Li Yao.

Caius has his own unique way of dealing with this little kid.

The two children were surprised by his arrival.

He's only been back a few days, right? Before I could forget about him, he came.

Guessing that they wouldn't be able to see each other often in the future, little Li Yao felt a little sad. He knew that his brother was also a little sad, but he just didn't say it out loud, because he secretly saw that his brother would stare at the painting given by Caius for a long time.

The stunned child and the man smiling as dazzlingly as a flower, Li Qiao frowned slightly and murmured, "It seems like a dog-skin plaster..."

What a hassle.

I don't want to get involved in these interpersonal relationships.

Trouble, trouble, trouble.

She sighed in her heart, walked over with the children, looked up and down at the dusty man, and was about to speak when she saw Mr. Zhou with a curious look on his face.

When Mr. Zhou realized that Li Qiao had seen it, he smiled awkwardly and looked away.

Li Qiao opened his mouth and saw Ning Ning, Xuanyunduo and Zhou Zilong, the three children, staring at Caius like curious babies.

"If you have anything to say, go home and tell me."

She doesn't have the habit of being watched by others.

Caius's eyes lit up again.

He responded with a full mouth: "Okay, okay."

It seems that I don’t hate him that much!

He looked like a fed puppy, squinting his eyes, turning over his belly to bask in the sun, looking silly.

Li Qiao didn't look at him again. Instead, she turned to Ning Ning and Xuanyunduo and said with a smile, "Children, Auntie is going to take you home."

Ning Ning was very curious and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw the smile on the aunt's face, she suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

Xuanyunduo was a little older and knew not to disturb the adults when they were talking, so she took the initiative to say goodbye and said, "Aunt Li, you don't have to see me off. I will go back with Uncle Zhou." Her house was just opposite Zhou Zilong's.

"Yes, yes, yes, Li Yao's mother, I'll take her back." Father Zhou nodded.

Ning Ning pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "As for me, Auntie, my driver is nearby, so you don't have to send me off."

She is not a troublesome child.

Li Qiao patted her head and said, "Then Auntie will take you there."

Ning Ning secretly looked up at her and said "hmm" softly, "Thank you, Aunt Li."

Father Zhou realized it wasn't appropriate for him to stay any longer, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll take the two children upstairs first. Mother Li Yao, you guys go ahead and get busy."

"Well, bye."

"goodbye."

Zhou Zilong was led forward, but couldn't help looking back.

His father slapped him lightly on the back of the head, "What are you looking at?! Look at the road!"

The aggrieved little fat boy no longer looked back.

Li Qiao watched Ning Ning get on the car to go home, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking care of the children for the whole morning, she had originally planned to come back and have a good sleep, but now Caius's arrival disrupted all her plans.

She looked at Caius, her resentment heavier than a ghost's.

Caius: “?” What did he do wrong again?

“Follow me!”

Li Qiao strode away with the two children, leaving him with only these two cold words.

Caius touched his nose and followed her with big strides. He didn't dare to walk side by side with her, but just followed closely behind.

When he was about to enter the gate of the community, he winked at the security guard with a naughty look, which was really not like that of an adult man, leaving the security guard speechless.

This time, he was allowed to go without saying anything.

After all, anyone with eyes can see the relationship between this man and the two children.

When they took the elevator up, there were only four of them in the elevator. It was so quiet that they couldn't even hear their breathing. Caius felt like he wasn't even breathing.

Holding my breath, I finally arrived.

He watched eagerly as Li Qiao unlocked the door, watched the mother and her two children change their shoes, and then waited eagerly behind...

Li Qiao seemed to have just remembered him and said calmly, "Just come in."

He quickly waved his hands and said, "Isn't this a bit embarrassing?" How could he be so bold as to do that?

Li Qiao gave him a deep look and stuffed an unopened box of shoe covers from the cabinet into his arms. "Open it yourself and come in after you're done."

He even put on shoe covers. Tsk, it seems like this big troublemaker doesn’t plan to leave right away.

Caius was holding a box of shoe covers in a daze, "Oh... okay."

After entering the house, Li Qiao sat on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. She wondered why she was so tired since she hadn't moved much this morning.

Alas, I can’t take so many kids out to play next time.

The two children were not tired at all. They looked at their fish for a while before turning their attention to Caius.

Li Qiao didn't say anything. Caius, a community leader, had a thousand things to say but he just couldn't say them. It was as if his mouth was sewn shut.

Little Li Yao tilted his head, touched the back of his hand with his little hand, quickly withdrew his hand, and his eyes widened slightly.

It’s true.

He really came.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Didn’t mom say that uncle and they are not from the same country?

Since they weren't from the same country, they wouldn't have lived together all the time. At most, they'd see each other a few times a year. But what was going on now? Why did my uncle fly over here? Could he be a magician?

"Baby, I'm here, aren't you happy?" He pinched the child's face with an aggrieved tone.

Little Li Yao shook his head, wanting to say something, then secretly glanced at his mother and whispered to him, "It's Mom who doesn't like you!"

Caius: “…” Really?

Tsk, he didn't dare to ask further.

Pretending not to hear that, he laughed and said, "I'm glad you don't hate me."

Li Qiao closed his eyes and rested for two minutes. When he opened them again, the fatigue in his eyes was gone.

Caius' smile faded and he subconsciously straightened his back.

"When are you leaving this time?"

Caius muttered for a long time and protested softly: "I just got here..."

"Tell me the truth, do you want to fight me for custody?"

As he said this, Li Qiao's eyes gradually became dangerous.

Caius: This is such a huge misunderstanding!

"I'm not!"

"I won't compete with you."

"I just... want to be closer to them... is that not okay?" He glanced at her stealthily and almost bit his tongue.

"It's your freedom to go wherever you want. I have no right to control you."

Li Qiao poured a glass of water and handed it to him, saying in a flat tone, "You know, I'm afraid of trouble. If I don't cause trouble, nothing will matter to me."

I just don't know if this man is pretending to be crazy and stupid in order to get closer to the child, build a good relationship, and gradually make the child dependent on him, so that he can gradually snatch custody...
