Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting ate chicken noodle soup, while Old Lady Li and the others in the main room couldn't eat.
Five years ago, a fire destroyed their house, and Boss Li rescued them. They then moved into Boss Li's house.
The house was quite large, with seven impressive rooms in a row. Excluding the main room, there were six rooms left. Old Mr. and Mrs. Li each had one room, and their four sons each had one. The last room was intended for Li Fuyi.
The boys slept with Li Laosi, while the girls lived in their parents' room. Since the room was big, it wouldn't be a problem to partition off a small room.
Unfortunately, such a large house was entirely left to Li's eldest son by his biased parents. It's impossible for Li's parents to have much affection for their son, who didn't grow up around them. Besides, the house situation only fueled their unspoken jealousy towards him.
If it weren't for Old Li saving them and getting injured in the process, they would have given up long ago because of the gossip in the production team. They're happy they don't have children; everything Old Li owns will go to his grandsons in the future.
They were happy to have a child, thinking there would be less gossip. But if, because of the child, Boss Li suddenly reverted to his old, carefree self, their feelings would become much more complicated.
"Father, Mother, Fu Bao can't eat."
Wang Yiting nudged Li Laosan with her cane, and Li Laosan immediately looked at Li Fuyi with heartache, speaking to Li Laotai.
"Grandma, I want to eat a chicken leg."
The little girl, with tears in her eyes and a red nose, was hugged tightly by Grandma Li.
“My poor Fu Bao, it’s all your uncle’s fault for being so heartless. He’s just a girl, but he treats her like she’s some kind of precious child. It’s like everyone else has had children. My poor Fu Bao doesn’t even get to eat chicken legs.”
Li Fuyi's eyes widened, glaring maliciously at Li Yiyi.
It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, her uncle and aunt would still like her the most, her grandmother wouldn't be crying, and her parents wouldn't be sighing. It's all her fault. A black aura mixed with golden light drifted from Li Fuyi's body toward Li Yiyi.
"Alright, the eldest is right. Fu Bao is the third brother's daughter. If she wants to eat something, the third brother will find it himself. What's the point of blaming the eldest brother?"
After glancing at Li Laosan and Wang Yiting, Old Man Li said fairly, "It's not that I dote on Li Laoda, but I care about my reputation and want the whole family to live in harmony so we won't be laughed at by outsiders."
The noise gradually subsided. Grandma Li coaxed Li Fuyi to eat, and Li Laosan and Wang Yiting dared not cause any more trouble. Grandpa Li's words carried more weight than Grandma Li's.
Li Lao Er ate his meal in silence. He had always been a man of few words, which didn't please his parents, Li Lao Tou and Li Lao Tai. Zhao Da Hua thought about the good things in Li Lao Da's house and felt a pang of envy, but since the third branch of the family hadn't gotten anything out of it, she was happy herself.
Li Daya and Li Erya from the second wife's family drank their congee and stared at the rice in Li Fuyi's bowl with envy; they also wanted to eat their fill.
Li Fuyi's older brother, Li Jiamin, and the head of the Li family exchanged a glance, quickly finished their rice, and ran out.
Seeing this, Li Jiafu and Li Jiaqiang from the second branch of the family also went out. After Fuqiang and Minzhu left, the main room became even more oppressive.
Inside the large house,
While Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting were eating, they didn't notice that Li Yiyi wasn't sleeping peacefully. Dark energy was coiling around Li Yiyi, tightening little by little, as if it wanted to kill her.
Damn it.
With a curse, Li Yiyi's divine sense instantly spotted the black mist.
"You want my life? Let's see if you have the ability."
The black energy that Li Yiyi failed to seal last time, she managed to seal this time. Yellow talismans fluttered in the air, making it difficult for Boss Li and Jiang Yuting to pretend they didn't see it, let alone hear Li Yiyi's thoughts.
Worried, she turned around and saw that their eyes met in mid-air with Li Yiyi's spiritual sense; neither of them had expected the current situation.
"Honey, do you think I got sand in my eye? I can't see a dark shadow clearly!"
Jiang Yuting instantly realized that she couldn't reveal that they could hear her daughter's thoughts.
"Patriot, come here and let me see. I don't see anything. How come you saw a dark shadow?"
One pretended, the other watched; Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting worked together seamlessly. The naive and innocent Li Yiyi stared adorably at Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting.
Didn't Mom and Dad see anything? Such a large talisman, and they couldn't see it? Are they getting old and their eyesight is failing?
Are their eyesight failing? For a moment, Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting couldn't keep up the act.
Li Laoda: He's only 31 years old, in his prime. Haven't you heard that a man is at his most beautiful at thirty?
Jiang Yuting: She's only 28, which is quite young compared to Li Laoda.
Oh well, they waited five years for their daughter, so it's understandable that she might say something wrong occasionally. Yi-yi is still a baby; she doesn't understand anything.
Only after undergoing deep self-hypnosis could Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting continue their act.
After observing the two for a long time, Li Yiyi's consciousness finally returned to her body.
No, when I grow up, I must take out the pills from my spatial storage and give them to my parents. I can't let them be riddled with illnesses at such a young age.
I'm such a filial child.
Li Yiyi put the talisman back into her spatial storage. She planned to study it later when she had some cultivation level. Right now, she was still a baby and couldn't sit up and cultivate cross-legged.
The talisman was gone, leaving Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting with mixed feelings.
While admiring their daughter's filial piety, they also worried about her future. They couldn't even tell their acting was fake; they feared she'd be easily fooled and left with nothing.
I am worried, truly worried.
After getting up to breastfeed her daughter, Jiang Yuting had become immune to Li Yiyi's inner thoughts.
Wow, so fair-skinned! I'll definitely look like Mom when I grow up.
[Mommy smells so good, so sweet.]
[Mom, Dad's shameless! He was peeking! Did he want to touch me?]
Li Laoda turned and left. Jiang Yuting's lips twitched. "Daughter, what kind of outrageous things are you saying? If it's true, and people say it out loud, don't she and Li Laoda have any face left?"
Her innocent and lovely daughter must have been corrupted by Boss Li. It's all because Boss Li was unruly when she was pregnant.
Li Laoda: I've been unfairly blamed for two things.
Finally, after Li Yiyi finished eating and fell asleep, Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wife, our daughter has wronged me."
Old Li was wronged! He wasn't peeping; he was openly looking. He liked looking at his wife because she was beautiful. How can you use the word "steal" between husband and wife?
"Brother Li, can't you be upright? Your daughter is still young, you can't lead her astray."
Twisting Li Laoda's ear, Jiang Yuting concealed her shyness.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
When Li Laoda cried out in pain, Jiang Yuting hesitated for a moment, thinking that she hadn't used that much force!
Jiang Yuting was unexpectedly embraced by Boss Li. She struggled for a moment and then quieted down.
"Honey, what do you think about the space our daughter mentioned? Is it like the ones in storybooks?"
"Maybe, my daughter is a little fairy."
“Then, my wife, you are the little fairy’s mother, and I am the little fairy’s father.”
The room was filled with warmth. Li Yiyi was sleeping on the bed, and the couple embracing beside her both had a blissful glow on their faces.
