"Grandpa, I want to eat that."

Xiao Yanbao pointed to a plate of braised ribbonfish pieces in front of Grandpa Li and quietly gestured for his grandfather to put a piece in his bowl. Grandpa Li quickly removed the fine bones from both ends of the ribbonfish piece and then put the remaining fish meat into Xiao Yanbao's bowl.

Little Yanbao carefully picked up a noodle, squinted his eyes, and smiled as he thanked the old man.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

The seven older brothers eagerly grabbed a piece of ribbonfish from the plate, quickly peeled off the fish meat, and placed it all into Xiao Yanbao's bowl.

"Little sister, you eat!"

In an instant, a small white mountain of fish meat was piled up in the bowl in front of Xiao Yanbao. Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this. However, once the third brother, Li Muhao, came to Xiao Yanbao's side with the fish meat, he was unwilling to leave until his uncle, Li Qicheng, made way for him.

"Yanbao, she's not in the room, is she?"

Li Muhao was asking about Li Wanning, and Xiao Yanbao whispered while eating fish:

"Yes! She's been by my side the whole time. She said she'll come play with you after you fall asleep."

As soon as Xiao Yanbao spoke, Li Muhao immediately lost his appetite. He lowered his head and cautiously looked around the room with the corner of his eye until his father scolded him, at which point he silently ate his meal.

Li Wanning quietly moved from Xiao Yanbao's side to Li Muhao's side, lowered her head and blew air into Li Muhao's neck. However, she was amused by Li Muhao after only blowing one breath. Xiao Yanbao also looked at her third brother Li Muhao, who was muttering to himself, with a strange expression.

"Ghost sister above, I, Li Muhao, have offended you in many ways. I hope you won't scare me on purpose. Please don't come looking for me tonight, since I'm so cute. I'll definitely save one Ultraman for you if I catch one in the future."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your Ultraman."

Li Wanning couldn't help but tease Li Muhao by whispering in his ear, but the moment her voice came out, Li Muhao's body stiffened abruptly.

Just then, Fourth Uncle Li Qichen, carrying a glass of juice, came to Xiao Yanbao's side under everyone's gaze, and then deliberately kicked Li Muhao, who was too afraid to move.

"Hey kid, make room for your uncle."

The moment Li Qichen touched Li Muhao, Li Muhao felt as if he had been pulled back from an ice cave. He nodded vigorously and walked behind Xiao Yanbao. Seeing Xiao Yanbao nodding at him, Li Muhao immediately ran back to his father's side.

Li Qichen didn't care about everyone's gaze at all. Instead, he moved a stool next to Xiao Yanbao and leaned in close to her.

"Who is this beautiful woman?"

When her fourth uncle spoke, Li Wanning looked down at Li Qichen, who had a ghostly aura about him. Then she stood next to Li Qichen, and saw the figure of an unlucky ghost emerge from Li Qichen's shoulder. Then he smiled politely at Li Wanning, but this smile looked somewhat lewd to others.

"Why is the ghost next to you so beautiful, but the one next to me is this kind of thing? Can't you ask them to change it?"

If Li Qichen had spoken to him like that normally, the unlucky guy would have definitely made a scene. However, in front of Li Wanning, the unlucky guy pretended to be a refined, cultured, and elegant ghost, but his eyes kept glancing at Li Qichen while he was secretly cursing him.

Seeing that Li Qichen could not only see her, but also had a ghost attached to her that looked quite extraordinary, Li Wan Ning became curious and moved closer to Li Qichen to chat.

"Are you from the Li family?"

When Li Qichen saw that Li Wanning took the initiative to talk to him, he thought that she had taken a liking to him. He was immediately happy and deliberately pretended to be nonchalant. He smoothed his hair with his fingers and then put down the juice in his hand.

"My name is Li Qichen, the fourth son. May I ask your name, young lady?"

Xiao Yanbao knew that Li Wanning must have a very high seniority in the Li family, so she interrupted her fourth uncle and whispered to Li Qichen:

"This is our family's ancestor. Don't say anything disrespectful. The piano in the library belongs to this lady."

Upon hearing the words "library" and "piano," Li Qichen immediately became serious. He glanced around at the Li family members who were eating, then stood up and bowed to Li Wanning.

Everyone seemed used to this scene and did not criticize Li Qichen at this time, but simply told Xiao Yanbao to stay away from him.

"This junior greets my great-aunt."

"You're quite straightforward, kid. Don't worry, I won't hurt that brat. I'll stick with Yanbao from now on. If you have time, learn from Yanbao and stop hanging out with that kind of thing all the time."

Li Wanning was disgusted with the unlucky guy, especially by his lewd face and his lecherous eyes. Upon hearing this, the unlucky guy immediately put on a sad face. If he had tears, he would have already started wailing.

Li Qichen also had a bitter face. He looked at the unlucky guy who was heartbroken and thought to himself that he and the guy were really brothers in misfortune. After Xiao Yanbao finished eating the noodles and fish in his bowl, everyone else had basically finished eating. Only Li Muhao did not touch the food in his bowl. In his mind, this bowl of rice was already an offering to Li Wanning.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should all go back to sleep. I'll stay at Lao Si's place tonight. I'll take Yan Bao to school first thing tomorrow morning, so none of you are allowed to be late."

The brothers nodded quickly and then left the villa with their parents. Li Muhao was seen holding his father's arm tightly, not daring to let go even for a moment.

Little Yanbao also felt sleepy, and would close his eyes from time to time while sitting at the dining table. When the old man saw this, he quickly picked Little Yanbao up and held him in his arms.

"Yanbao is sleepy, isn't he? Does he want to sleep with Grandpa?"

Just then, Li Qicheng and Liang Jingyi, who had gone out to see everyone off, returned and quickly went to the old man's side. Zhong Jingyi smiled and said to the old man:

"Dad, Yanbao should sleep with me. You should get some rest too."

Li Qicheng also chimed in with his own words of persuasion. Just as the old man hesitated, little Yanbao, still half-asleep, glanced at Zhong Jingyi and then spoke in a childish voice:

"Mommy, hug me!"

Upon seeing this, the old master of the Li family immediately handed Xiao Yanbao to Zhong Jingyi, who had already reached out her hand. Then, he reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Yanbao and followed his wife into the bedroom that the servants had prepared, turning back every three steps.

Back in the room, Zhong Jingyi first looked at Li Mulang, who was sleeping peacefully, and then went to Xiao Yanbao and quietly coaxed him.

"Baby, be good and go to sleep."

Li Qicheng sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching Zhong Jingyi's back. He hesitated for a long time, then just sighed softly and didn't say anything.
