Li Qingming realized that he seemed to have made a mistake in the very first step.

He awkwardly and guiltily touched his head.

"Eggs, brown sugar, and if you have malted milk powder, buy that too. Also, baby formula and that fruit," Zhang Hehua said to Li Qingming while eating, trying to suppress her anger.

"I'll go buy it right away." Li Qingming walked to the door. "Mom, don't you have any milk powder coupons?"

"Why don't you just buy one from someone else?" Zhang Hehua suddenly felt that she was not suitable for marriage and knew nothing about marriage.

"I'll go right away." Li Qingming could clearly sense his mother's anger.

Li Qingming thought that the people who had milk powder coupons must be those who had children and had a lot of milk powder coupons, which should be Shen Qiaoyue and Xu Miaoya's family.

In the end, Li Qingming chose to borrow milk powder coupons from Xu Miaoya's house.

When Li Qingming returned from shopping, he saw Xia Xiaoli playing with her child in the yard. Li Qingming walked very slowly, his legs still feeling weak.

The two of them just happened to meet each other's bright, sparkling eyes.

Xia Xiaoli blinked a few times, unsure of what to say.

"Dou Dou, come and have some rice cereal!" Xiang Shulan came out with the rice cereal for the child, and saw that Xia Xiaoli and Li Qingming were not speaking to each other.

"Xiaoli, why didn't you call out to anyone?" Xiang Shulan reminded Xia Xiaoli, then looked at Li Qingming and greeted him, "Battalion Commander Li, what are you buying? Would you like to come in and sit down? Have you eaten yet?"

Li Qingming nervously looked away and said, "I haven't...eaten. I'll go back now."

After saying that, he went straight home.

Xia Xiaoli didn't say anything.

As Xiang Shulan watched Li Qingming walk away, she sighed, "That Battalion Commander Li is pitiful. After his divorce, his mother has been worrying about his marriage ever since! Aunt Zhang even had her eye on you before."

Xia Xiaoli was stunned!

"However, your sister-in-law refused you, saying you're too young to talk." Xiang Shulan looked at Xiaoli's nervous appearance!
