"Waaaaah~ Niannian, how fortunate I am to have your and Xibao's love and companionship." Si Lili was deeply moved.

She thought that with the help of her nephew and future sister-in-law, plus the support of her father and mother, even if her brother were Sun Wukong reincarnated, he couldn't do anything to her, and she would definitely be able to live to the end.

Si Lijue was already displeased with Si Lili's act of holding Su Niannian, and when he heard her wailing, he roared in uncontrollable rage: "Si Lili, I'm not dead yet! What are you wailing about?"

Other people's younger sisters are like their older brothers' warm coats, keeping them cozy every cold winter.

But his sister was wearing a tattered coat that let in drafts everywhere, so she was freezing from head to toe.

Si Lili feigned sadness and sobbed, "Brother, I'm still your blood-is-thicker-than-water sister. If you don't love me, please don't hurt me!"

Su Niannian also felt that Si Lijue was going too far. After all, Si Lili was his own sister, born of the same mother. How could he just yell at her whenever he wanted?

She glared angrily at the man in front of her, feeling indignant on behalf of her best friend.

"Lili only said you don't love her, she didn't say you'd die, why are you getting so angry?"

She's your sister, can't you be a little gentler with her and be a good, responsible older brother?

Si Lili nodded vigorously, feeling that her best friend was right.

Xi Bao looked up at Si Li Jue and felt that her mother and aunt were right, so her soft and sweet voice rang out.

"Dad, you'll die someday. What's wrong with Mom and me taking care of Aunt?"

...

Si Lijue's brows furrowed more and more, his gaze dark as he stared at the two women in front of him and Xibao in his arms.

The three of them seemed to have rehearsed beforehand, their voices harmonizing perfectly, making this farce quite exciting and lively.

Si Lijue felt his head buzzing, as if countless bees were flying around his ears, making him very annoyed. He couldn't help but secretly complain.

He deeply understood the old saying: "Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with!"

In order to prevent his woman and child from being led astray by Si Lili, he must strictly control them and effectively prevent them from having too much contact.

After thinking it through, he repeatedly told Si Lili, "Si Lili, I'm in charge of this family now. Without my permission, you're not allowed to get close to Xibao and your sister-in-law."

Si Lili felt that she, Xi Bao, and Su Niannian were on the same side, and that three Zhuge Liangs could easily outwit Si Lijue, who was just a cobbler.

So, she was not afraid at all and argued her case: Brother, don't think that just because you were born a few years before me, you are the eldest in the family and I can't do anything to you.

Don't say you're my brother, even if you were the Emperor of Heaven, you couldn't stop me from being with Xibao and Niannian.

We are truly a loving family, and no one can separate us. Including you!

Si Lijue shot a dangerous look at Si Lili, and his cold voice rang out: "Si Lili, I think you're getting bolder and bolder. If you want to challenge my authority, feel free to try."

Si Lili was startled by his sharp gaze, and the suppression of her bloodline was fully manifested at this moment.

She immediately cowered!

She shrank her neck and said softly, "I just want to ask you for permission, is that not allowed? Why are you being so fierce?"

Looking at her aunt's cowardly appearance, Xi Bao couldn't help but facepalm, thinking to herself, "Auntie, oh Auntie, you should at least hold on a little longer. Why did you give up so quickly?"

"Alas! My poor aunt will be completely controlled by her brother from now on, with no chance of ever turning her life around."

He felt he had to do something for his aunt; otherwise, seeing her so miserable would make him feel terrible.

So he tilted his chin up and looked at the handsome face that looked just like his with a big smile. "Dad, Auntie is a girl. Don't be so mean to her, or she'll cry."

The teacher said that a real man should stand tall and be respectful to girls, and should never bully them.

Otherwise, you're not a good child.

"Alright, since Xibao has spoken up for her aunt, I'll let her off the hook for now."

Si Lijue looked at Xibao with kind and gentle eyes, and his tone was full of doting affection.

"Thank you, Dad! You're so kind!" Xi Bao didn't hold back, hugging Si Li Jue's neck and giving him a big kiss.

Si Lijue felt exceptionally happy when Xibao kissed him, and his eyes and brows were filled with smiles.

Si Lili felt a pang of sadness; she also wanted to hold her little nephew and let him kiss her cheek.

So she beckoned to Xibao, "Xibao, come over to Auntie, Auntie has some yummy food here!"

Si Lijue held Xibao's hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go, and deliberately asked, "Xibao, when you were in kindergarten, did your teacher tell you that children shouldn't eat junk food?"

Xi Bao nodded, "Yes, they taught me!"

Si Lijue, like a dutiful father, patiently guided her: "Daddy believes Xibao is a good baby, so would you still eat the junk food your aunt bought?"

After weighing the pros and cons between being a good baby and having food, Xi Bao finally said, "Hmm... Xi Bao won't eat."

Si Lijue was very satisfied with his son's performance and praised him, "Xibao is such a good boy. To reward Xibao for refusing junk food, Dad has decided to take Xibao to buy toys."

"Really?" A look of surprise flashed in Xi Bao's eyes.

Si Lijue replied with a smile, "Of course, this Saturday, Dad will take you and Mom shopping. Xibao can pick out whatever toy she wants."

"Thank you! Daddy, Xibao loves you!" Xibao hugged Si Lijue's neck and shouted happily.

Si Lijue enjoyed his time with his son, and to strengthen their bond, he suggested, "Xibao, how about we go play soccer together?"

"Great!" Xi Bao cheered happily.

Si Lijue stood up from the sofa with Xibao in his arms and said to Si Lili, "You and your sister-in-law take the soccer ball and water outside to the grass and play with me and Xibao."

Si Lili blinked her big eyes, staring at Si Lijue with suspicion, and asked curiously, "Wait, brother, what did you just say? My sister-in-law? Who's my sister-in-law? It's not Niannian, is it? You really want to marry Niannian?"

If she had misheard something in the coffee shop before, she could hear it clearly now; her brother had already mentioned "sister-in-law" twice in that short time.

Si Lijue glanced meaningfully at Su Niannian sitting on the sofa and said calmly, "She gave birth to Xibao for me. If I don't marry her, who else can I marry?"

"Brother, you've finally done something decent!" Si Lili said from the bottom of her heart.

Only she knows how difficult the past five years have been for Niannian.

"Stop being so nonsensical, hurry up and bring us what we want." Si Lijue said this, then picked up Xibao and left.

Looking at Su Niannian, who had been sullen and quiet, Si Lili smiled and said, "Niannian, you've finally overcome your hardships and are going to be my sister-in-law."
