Xu Nuo bent down, picked up a grape, and put it in her mouth. She then warmly greeted her, "Peiyi, would you like some fruit?"

Su Peiyi naturally wanted to eat them, but her pride got the better of her, so she shook her head and smiled, "I'm sorry, I don't really like cherries."

Xu Nuo didn't mind; they just had different tastes. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have Aunt Liu take you there."

Aunt Liu, who was mopping the floor, smiled when she heard this and said, "Miss Su, are you leaving so soon? Be careful, the floor is a bit slippery after I just mopped it."

In less than ten minutes, Su Peiyi was "invited" out, standing in the sunlight with her notebook in her arms, feeling utterly defeated.

Xu Nuo then returned to her room.

Li Xian was sitting in his office chair looking at materials when Xu Nuo tried to sneak up on him from behind, but he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He turned his office chair around and caught her as she pounced on him.

His eyes were dark and deep, his voice low and husky, sending shivers down your spine: "What do you want?"

Xu Nuo confessed honestly: "I was just trying to scare you."

Li Xian chuckled and lifted the person up to sit on his lap.

"Political Commissar Liu's relative has left?"

Xu Nuo nodded: "Yes, I pretended not to know and told her to ask someone else."

Li Xian glanced at her: "You don't want to teach?"

Xu Nuo reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, her smile sly: "You know, I hate trouble the most. What if I teach her once and she comes back again? I can't refuse her then."

Li Xian frowned: "If there's anything you can't refuse, just say you're busy."

Xu Nuo looked at him disapprovingly: "She's a relative of Political Commissar Liu, after all. It's not good to be so direct. What if she offends someone?"

Li Xian said nonchalantly, "It's not that serious. If you don't want to play with her, then just ignore her."

Xu Nuo asked curiously, "You have a problem with her?"

Li Xian shook his head: "I don't know about her, but Ji Meiling is not a good person."

Xu Nuo's eyes flashed with gossip: "You know this? Tell me quickly."

Although they didn't talk behind each other's backs, there were no taboos between them. Li Xian told them about Ji Meiling and Political Commissar Liu, and concluded by saying, "His wife has only been dead for less than ten years."

Ke Meiling's daughter is already fifteen years old.

Xu Nuo, through Li Xian's few simple words, created a melodramatic drama. She already had a bad impression of Ji Meiling, and now she disliked her even more.

"No wonder Liu Xiaoqin always wears new clothes, while her sister dresses very plainly. It turns out that Ji Meiling is her stepmother."

Seeing her indignant expression, Li Xian chuckled and tapped her nose: "Don't be afraid of offending people. If you don't like it, just ignore it. As long as you're happy."

Xu Nuo felt a warmth in her heart, let out a soft "hmm," snuggled in his arms for a while, and then began to tidy herself up.

She changed into the new dress that Li Xian had bought for her and happily twirled around in front of the mirror twice.

Is it pretty?

Li Xian nodded, walked over and kissed her forehead: "Beautiful."

"Let's go then, Mom and Dad must be waiting for us."

Li Xian helped her with her bag and led her to the car.

When the two arrived, Xu Jinan was busy in the kitchen, looking as if he was preparing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

Xue Ping was organizing recent order forms in the living room. The thick stack of forms in her hands was not just forms, but gleaming gold and white money.

She beamed with joy: "Nuobao, our business is booming! We've been getting orders every single day."

Xu Nuo smiled and said, "Thanks to Mom's good management, I give you a thumbs up."

Xue Ping laughed: "Then I'll give you two thumbs up. How was Xiao Xian's trip? Are you exhausted?"

Xue Ping's tone was natural and concerned, and a warm feeling welled up in Li Xian's heart. He shook his head at her and said, "No."
