As soon as the door opened, Fu Yanci was seen carrying an imported fruit basket in one hand and a new toy in the other.
There was a little one hiding behind him.
His gaze swept past the girl glaring at him, pretending not to notice her angry expression, and Fu Yanci looked at Li Xueqing with a gentle expression, "Aunt Ye, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!"
"No trouble at all, come in quickly..."
Li Xueqing greeted them warmly, placing fruit platters, drinks, and chocolates on the coffee table while turning back to call out to Aunt Lan, "I remember there were toys in the storage room for the children during the New Year. Quick, take them out for the children to play with!"
"Ai!"
Aunt Lan smiled and went towards the storage room.
When Ye Li moved back to the living room, Fu Yanci was already drinking the Pu'er tea that Li Xueqing had brewed.
Xiao Bao, standing to the side, was holding a chocolate in one hand and a large walnut he had cracked open in the other. He looked at this one and then at that one, unsure which one to eat first.
Ye Li took a deep breath and looked at Fu Yanci with a smile, "Uncle is quite thoughtful, isn't he? He doesn't go out for social events on the weekend and still has time to take care of the child!"
"I don't like socializing."
Ignoring the jarring "little uncle," Fu Yanci's words were directed at Li Xueqing: "It's a rare opportunity to take care of the child; it'll be good practice."
!!
"You're so thoughtful, Yan Ci!"
Li Xueqing's eyes lit up as she praised, "That's exactly how you should think!"
"Young people these days, men expect their wives to take care of the children, and women expect their parents and in-laws to take care of the children. They don't realize that they have to take care of their own children!"
Shaking her head repeatedly, Li Xueqing sighed with regret, "If He Chen had your awareness, Ali's father and I could rest easy. Oh dear, if only we had had another daughter."
? ? ?
Ye Li was taken aback.
Li Xueqing had already started chatting with Fu Yanci. "Yanci, I heard from your sister last time that you're still not married, and you're busy with your career all day long. How's it going? Anything happening now?"
"Aunt Ye, I'm already married!"
Glancing at Ye Li, who was frozen in place, Fu Yanci said gently, "She went back to her parents' home, and there's no one to help take care of the child. That's why I thought of you. Please don't mind!"
"I don't mind at all!"
Every day, it's just her and Aunt Lan in the huge villa. Ali hasn't come back, and the house is empty.
Now that there are two more people, it's quite lively, but she doesn't mind at all.
Li Xueqing smiled and peeled an orange, then put it in Xiaobao's hand.
After finally finishing the walnuts, and with only one walnut free, Xiao Bao was given an orange. He looked at Ye Li with a pleading expression: "I ate a lot at noon, you saw it! I really can't eat anymore!"
Ye Li sighed, "Mom, I'll take him to his room to play for a while. You and your uncle can chat!"
Fu Yanci raised his eyes.
Without glancing at him, Ye Li led Xiao Bao, whose face was beaming with smiles, upstairs to their room.
As soon as the door closed, Ye Li poked Xiao Bao's cheek, "Traitor!"
Xiao Bao pouted: You really can't blame me!
I didn't expect to keep it from him for long anyway, after all, Xiao Bao is his nephew.
Ye Li never expected that she and Xiao Bao couldn't keep it a secret for even 24 hours after buying the children's watch.
What a failure!
"Come on, let me show you my Baymax. If you like it, I'll get you one just like it later!"
Putting aside Fu Yanci's scheming antics for the moment, Ye Li took Xiao Bao to see her beloved pet and pulled out a stack of Doraemon comics. The two sat down by the bookshelf in the corner and read them with great interest.
Ye Li's phone beeped softly. She glanced at it and saw a WeChat message from Fu Yanci: "[Li, are you coming home tonight?]"
Knowing he was referring to the Lishan Mansion, Ye Li replied decisively: "No reply."
In the living room on the first floor, Fu Yanci put away his phone and looked at Li Xueqing with a calm expression. "She said she won't be coming home tonight."
"Then don't hesitate, settle down here!"
Li Xueqing pointed to the second floor, "There are guest rooms at home. You'll just be eating and sleeping when you go back. It'll be more lively at my place. Besides..."
Pointing proudly to Ye Li's room, Li Xueqing said with a smile, "My Ah Li has always been loved by children. If you stay, someone can lend a hand to help you take care of the kids."
Fu Yanci nodded, "Thank you, Aunt Ye. Auntie, you're so kind!"
After praising her, Fu Yanci smiled and sent a WeChat message to Ye Li: "Wife, I can't refuse your hospitality, so I'll be staying at the Ye family's house tonight and won't be coming home! Don't miss me too much!"
Ye Li after reading the new message: ...@Q￥#%%...
