There was a knock on the door. It must be Jiang Cheng and his family. Jiang Rongyi had also been admitted to university, and the school she applied to wasn't far from the one Jiang Yuting had applied to. The two families planned to walk there together.
"Qingqing~"
"Yuting~"
As soon as they stepped outside, Su Qing and Jiang Yuting automatically huddled together, and Li Yiyi and Jiang Rongyi also automatically paired up. An awkward atmosphere permeated the space between Li Laoda and Jiang Cheng, who were forced into a pairing.
The reason was that after arriving in Beijing, Boss Li went to see Jiang Cheng, intending to ask Jiang Cheng to help him transfer his job to Beijing. Unfortunately, he went at the wrong time.
Jiang Cheng is being disciplined by Su Qing using family rules, but that's nothing unusual. He's often disciplined by Jiang Yuting too; it's just marital fun, you know what I mean.
The awkward thing is that, even after being punished, Jiang Cheng, who had been separated from Su Qing for so many years, still couldn't behave himself and would sneak from one side of the living room to the other side.
"Honey, I was wrong. I'll never do it again. Please forgive me this time."
Su Qing was alright; after all, she was used to Jiang Cheng occasionally acting cute and affectionate. It's normal for a man to act cute and affectionate with his wife.
But with Boss Li around, things just don't look right.
Su Qing's unusual reaction puzzled Jiang Cheng. Following her gaze, he met Boss Li's shocked eyes.
A lifetime of brilliance ruined in an instant.
Even Li Laoda himself hadn't expected that Jiang Cheng, this tough guy, would have such a soft side. True character is often hidden.
He could watch other people's antics with a grain of salt, but when it was his own brother-in-law instead, Li Laoda found it hard to maintain his usual composure.
After hastily explaining his purpose, he quickly slipped away. If he had been any slower, Boss Li suspected that Jiang Cheng would have become enraged.
With his brother-in-law standing beside him, Li Laoda still felt some pressure.
This was the first time he and Jiang Cheng were alone together since that day. The other four people were chatting happily in pairs, but he and Jiang Cheng remained silent.
"Cough cough."
Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, Jiang Cheng spoke first.
"Aiguo, how are you adapting to your job?"
"Brother, very good. The people here are about the same as those in the county town."
Li Laoda doesn't boast, but even the most difficult person will become easy to get along with after being bombarded with items produced by his daughter's space.
Having a daughter brings contentment; it not only resolved family disputes.
It can also resolve his workplace disputes as a father. Just wait, his daughter will definitely take care of Jiang Yuting's school life as well.
After feeling proud, Boss Li realized...
Work? This brings us back to the topic. Why did he go there that day? It was for work.
Clearly, Jiang Cheng had also thought of this. A blush flashed across his wheat-colored face. Fortunately, what happened that day was only the beginning, and Boss Li did not see the rest of the process. Otherwise, he would have really lost face.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with him acting cute with his wife, and Jiang Cheng doesn't mind being seen doing so.
Jiang Cheng was afraid that Boss Li wouldn't be able to accept it.
After a long period of silence, Boss Li gave up on expecting Jiang Cheng, this taciturn fellow, to speak.
"Brother-in-law, don't take what happened that day to heart. It's a man's pleasure to act cute with his wife. It's not something to be ashamed of."
Jiang Cheng listened, his ears twitching to make sure he hadn't misheard, then turned to look at Boss Li.
He suddenly felt he had found a kindred spirit. He thought to himself, "No wonder his wife is just like his sister; how could he have chosen someone so different?"
From now on, Li Laoda will not only be his good brother-in-law, but also his good brother. Who said only women are allowed to unite, but men can't?
In particular, Su Qing would often seek out Jiang Yuting for long talks all night long; Li Laoda must share the same sentiment.
"Patriotism, do you think Yuting and Qingqing have a good relationship?"
While speaking, Jiang Cheng kept glancing at Boss Li out of the corner of his eye. As he expected, a look of frustration appeared in Boss Li's eyes.
Similarly, Boss Li shared the same idea, which made Jiang Cheng even more excited.
Boss Li couldn't figure it out, so when Jiang Cheng asked what he meant, he gave a rather pertinent reply.
"Brother, it's normal for sister-in-law and Yuting to chat for a while since they haven't seen each other for a long time."
This is utter bullshit, it's normal.
Both Li Laoda and Jiang Cheng were internally complaining, especially Jiang Cheng, who had even more to say.
Regardless, Jiang Yuting and Su Qing met beforehand, and their meetings lasted longer than his. So, by that calculation, it's clear he and Su Qing hadn't seen each other for a longer period.
But Su Qing has spent even more time with Jiang Yuting. His wife is his sister's daughter. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
"Aiguo, don't you think they're spending too much time together? It's one thing during the day, but staying together at night is a bit inappropriate."
Having confirmed that Boss Li shared the same thoughts as him, Jiang Cheng didn't mince words and spoke directly.
What could he do? He was just someone who longed for his wife to come home.
"Brother, you're right."
Having understood Jiang Cheng's meaning, Boss Li got it.
For a moment, the two looked at each other as if they had found brothers, fellow sufferers in misfortune, both heartbroken.
While Jiang Yuting and Su Qing were chatting enthusiastically in front, Boss Li and Jiang Cheng were also talking behind them.
They talked about gossip at first, then discussed how to separate them.
The peaceful life of Li Yiyi and Jiang Rongyi in the middle is mainly reflected in the fact that Jiang Rongyi buys whatever Li Yiyi wants.
"Thank you, brother~"
All she had to do was sweetly call him "brother," and she could get whatever she wanted, without being stopped by Boss Li and Jiang Yuting who worried about her health from eating too much.
Li Yiyi couldn't be happier spending time with Jiang Rongyi, especially since she didn't have to spend her own money.
Thinking this way, Li Yiyi smiled even more sweetly and became even more affectionate towards Jiang Rongyi.
That one word, "brother," almost melted Jiang Rongyi's heart.
My little sister is just as adorable as my mother described.
After meeting Li Yiyi, Jiang Rongyi realized how wonderful it was to have a younger sister. He even thought it would be better if he could have the surname Li.
My younger sister's surname is Jiang, but the character Jiang is too difficult to write; it doesn't look good if it involves too many strokes.
His surname is Li, Li Rongyi, and his sister's name is Li Yiyi. People can tell they are siblings just by hearing their names. It's a pity that his father can't change his surname.
Jiang Cheng, who was discussing plans with Boss Li, suddenly shivered, feeling that someone was talking badly about him behind his back.
In the corner, a little girl dressed in cute and gorgeous clothes watched Li Yiyi from afar. Her eyes held a maturity different from those outside, but after confirming something, they instantly reverted to their innocent appearance.
It feels like someone is watching me.
Li Yiyi turned around and looked into the corner, but there was nothing there. Li Yiyi was a little confused. Was there anyone there just now?
"Little sister, what's wrong?"
"Brother, I'm fine."
Jiang Rongyi felt her heart melt at Li Yiyi's sweetness.
It's so nice to have a younger sister.
Remembering how Su Qing used to drag her around to find younger sisters, and glancing at Li Yiyi holding her hand, Jiang Rongyi thought to herself...
He used to live a very hard life.
