☆, Chapter 19 Baby wants to hear you say you love me

"Mu Li, you're back! Come and eat. I've prepared all your favorite dishes today," Father Li greeted as soon as he saw her come in.

Looking at the steamed sea bass, stir-fried king oyster mushrooms with shredded pork, and shredded pork with eggs—a series of light dishes on the table—Li Muli gently curved the corners of her lips: "Thank you, Dad."

She loves spicy food and can't live without it.

Li Muqing preferred a simple life, knowing she wasn't as popular as her sister, so she always followed others.

Gradually, everyone said that the two sisters looked more and more alike, even their tastes were exactly the same.

Behind this lies the compromise of the person who was not valued.

But she's an outsider, so she's not important.

"Oh, so you know how to come home now. I thought you were out there hooking up with some random guy and didn't even know how to come home," Wu Zhuyi said sarcastically as she sat down.

"Say less," Mr. Li turned around and glared at her.

Wu Zhuyi shrugged, her tone sarcastic: "I didn't say anything wrong. My own daughter hasn't come home for months, doesn't even call, yet she keeps posting about random men on public platforms."

"Shut up!" Father Li shouted angrily, throwing down his chopsticks.

Li Muli sat quietly, casually picking up some food and putting it in her mouth, seemingly oblivious to the commotion around her.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "You didn't call me back specifically so I could watch you put on a show, did you?"

Mr. Li's expression changed repeatedly, as he felt that his obedient and well-behaved daughter was becoming a bit out of control.

"Mu Li, how can you talk like that? Finish your meal first."

Li Muli put down her chopsticks and calmly asked, "Lately, I've been wondering, am I really your biological child?"

Having been given a second chance at life, she had to be extremely cautious.

Wu Zhuyi's eyes flickered for a moment, but she still answered, "Of course."

But Li Muli cleverly seized the opportunity.

Wu Zhuyi definitely knows the truth; the only way to get to the bottom of this is through her.

Memories of my past life suddenly flooded my mind.

"Li Muli, I really hate you. From childhood to adulthood, your mother has given me everything I want. She only occasionally gives me a little charity, and I have to be grateful for it. Why should I?"

"Ha, so what if you're better than my daughter? You're still lying here half-dead."

"How pitiful. I wonder if Jiang Yu would feel heartbroken if she knew her daughter was like this. Oh, no, if she felt heartbroken, she wouldn't have abandoned you in the first place."

"A slut's daughter is a slut too. The man she relentlessly pursued is nowhere to be seen. Tsk tsk tsk, he's probably busy getting intimate with that Miss Bely."

"Ha, Li Shiming still wants to find you a man of equal social standing. I knew she couldn't let go of that bitch all these years, even calling it a marriage alliance. Hahaha, men..."

"You're so lucky, you actually managed to hook up with Mr. Fu. He's almost dead, and everything he owns will belong to Mu Qing."

"Jiang Yu, you lost to me twenty years ago, and twenty years later your daughter lost to my daughter. Actress status, music archives, men… Hahahahahahaha!"

"Mu Li, Mu Li, what's wrong?" Li Mu Li's thoughts were pulled back by Li Shi Ming's shout, but she did not hide the hatred in her eyes. Her eyes suddenly pierced the person opposite her.

Wu Zhuyi shuddered suddenly; the person in front of her was almost overlapping with the person from twenty years ago.

Li Muli lowered her head, suppressing her hatred and trying hard to calm herself down: "It's nothing, just say what's on your mind."

Li Shiming picked up some food and placed it in her bowl, smiling as he asked, "When are you going to bring your boyfriend home so Mom and Dad can meet him?"

“Yes, yes,” Wu Zhuyi immediately chimed in. She had to admit that for a moment, that little slut had frightened her, forcing her to continue wearing her gentle mask.

"No need, we're two different families. I'll pack my things today and I won't be coming back," Li Muli said, getting up to refuse, and then slowly went upstairs.

Her bedroom was no different from when she left, except that it was covered in dust and clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

As expected, Li Muli squatted down next to the cabinet to organize things. In fact, she didn't have many things, nor many fond memories.

After all, how many memories can someone who isn't loved have?

A rose petal that had been gathering dust in the drawer suddenly fell to the ground. Li Muli reached out her finger, picked it up, flicked off the dust, and smiled slightly.

Roses, the place where her heart began to flutter.

A young man, the beginning of a lifelong obsession.

It's all because the boy she met in her youth was too stunning, making her unable to forget him and already deeply in love with him.

She loved roses, though no one knew it was because of him.

In this life, she asked him why he gave her roses.

He said that roses symbolize passion, ardent love, and "I love you."

By sheer chance, I managed to please him.

Her Mr. Fu was such a good person, how could he not even come to see her when she was in a life-or-death situation because of Tan Yueli?

She doesn't believe it.

Suddenly, she really wanted to see him. He was her faith and motivation when she was young, and he is also her armor and courage now.

The phone rang abruptly in the quiet environment. Li Muli's beautiful eyes were full of smiles as she answered the call, and the voice on the other end came through.

"Are you ready, baby? I'm coming to pick you up."

"I miss you so much"

"Okay, wait for me for twenty minutes, baby, talk to me." The man didn't ask what happened, he just stayed with the girl, listening to her vent or complain, so she wouldn't be alone and secretly sad.

Li Muli chuckled: "Baby wants to hear you say you love me~"

Her sadness vanished as Mr. Fu appeared nervous, and she felt a strong urge to tease the man opposite her.

The man chuckled softly, seemingly lowering his voice intentionally: "Baby, I thought I had said enough last night."

Li Muli immediately understood what the man meant, her face flushed, and she put her phone on the table to continue tidying up.

"Hmm? Why isn't the baby saying anything? I'll tell you many more times tonight."

Li Muli smiled, her beautiful eyes crinkling, and said unreasonably, "Last night you were saying this to the me of yesterday, today you're saying it to the me of today."

"Mmm, sweetheart, I love you."

"My sweet child will get whatever he/she wants."

"My baby is a beautiful child."

"I'll always be here, my sweetheart."

"I want to kiss and hug my baby, and I also want the sun."

"I want to try everything with my baby, leaving our mark in every place."

I want to cherish my precious baby.

...

Seeing that someone's words were getting increasingly inappropriate, Li Muli quickly interrupted, "I'm all packed. I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay, sweetie, let's do it in the bathroom tonight," the man continued to express his affection.

Li Muli: Speechless with emotion. A classic case of throwing a stone only to drop it on one's own foot.

Li Muli looked around and took everything she needed.

And so I officially said goodbye to this place.

Before leaving, I noticed the trash can was completely clean, and then I suddenly remembered that the discarded music manuscript she had thrown away was gone.

He curled his lips into a cold smile. So he had already started plotting this so early.

He lived a foolish life; no wonder no one cared when he died.

He truly deserved it.
