Chapter 715 The Ring Was Taken Off
For some reason, Mi Cheng suddenly felt a little uneasy, but looking at the child's longing and hopeful eyes, she didn't know what to say. She could only pinch the little guy's ear to comfort him and hand him a piece of dessert. "Eat some more. You've been playing archery all day. You must be hungry."
Le Qing wanted to say that before coming back, her father shamelessly dragged Grandma Mi, who came to pick her up, to have a big meal with Mi Wei. Yueyue and Xingxing quickly won over Grandma Mi's heart and became close friends with Mi Wei. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't talk to his sister much and could only eat a bite here and there.
I'm a bit stuffed tonight.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Yue Qing didn't want to take it, Mi Cheng was about to put it back. "Don't you like it? Do you want me to cook you some noodles?"
"Is that okay?" Le Qing's eyes lit up. He had never eaten noodles cooked by his mother before!
I never expected that he would receive such an honor on our first meeting tonight.
That's a speed that even Dad can only dream of!
snort!
"Of course, a bowl of noodles is nothing." Mi Cheng was both amused and exasperated. She got up and went to the kitchen, but Le Qing followed her closely, clinging to her as if she really considered her mother.
Mi Cheng didn't mind at all. On the contrary, the more she spent time with Yue Qing, the closer she felt to him, as if they were destined to be together in a past life. She also put more effort into cooking.
Soon, the simple tomato and egg noodles were ready. Mi Cheng brought them to the table and thoughtfully prepared chopsticks and a spoon for Le Qing, saying, "Try it."
Le Qing sat very carefully in the chair, her expression solemn as if she were eating a state banquet, chewing each noodle a thousand times.
Mi Cheng was amused by him. "If it's not enough, I'll just make another bowl of noodles. There's no need to eat it so reluctantly, or it will get cold."
Le Qing glanced at her shyly, her smile bashful and timid.
Mi Cheng's heart melted at the sight.
At this moment, Li Tingxi came downstairs and saw the mother and son getting along happily. He raised his eyebrows slightly. Le Songming really had a way with her. She had just returned to the country and had already put her son in his house. She really didn't treat herself as an outsider.
Le Qing was facing the stairs, and the first thing she saw when she looked up was Li Tingxi standing on the stairs. She immediately stood up properly and said, "Uncle Li, good evening."
Dad said, "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."
Now that Aunt Su is not around, he needs to be pragmatic.
Seeing Li Tingxi's serious expression, Mi Cheng, worried that he might frighten the child, quickly stepped forward to explain, "Miss Hao said you know him. This child is Yueyue's friend. They came home together today, and I saw he was hungry, so I took the liberty of using the kitchen..."
If Su Youling were here, she wouldn't need to be nervous or explain herself. But every time she sees Li Tingxi, she gets inexplicably nervous and even stutters a little.
Li Tingxi frowned, and his imposing manner as he walked to the dining table was somewhat intimidating. Mi Cheng immediately spread her arms to protect Le Qing, "Mr. Li, it was wrong of me to enter the kitchen without permission. If you want to blame someone, then blame me. Don't make things difficult for the child."
Li Tingxi: "..."
Does he really look that scary?
Li Tingxi raised his hand and opened his palm. A beautiful diamond ring lay quietly in his palm, looking incredibly beautiful under the light.
"Take off the ring."
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
"That's it." He placed it in Yue Qing's hand and said coldly, "Return it to its rightful owner. Don't bother my wife again. You kids should be friends with other kids, don't meddle in adult matters."
Le Qing opened her mouth in shock: "You took it off? How did you do that?"
"Thanks to Dr. Mi's brilliant plan." Li Tingxi smiled at Mi Cheng, a rare occurrence, and said gently, "Dr. Mi, you've worked hard these past few days. We'll need you to stay a while longer to help take care of Yangyang. Su Su and I have been very busy lately, and we're afraid we might neglect the children. Thank you for your help."
His sudden politeness startled Mi Cheng, who even forgot her shock that the ring belonged to Yue Qing: "No, you're welcome. It's what I should do. Mr. Li pays my salary, so he's my employer."
"You're too kind. Su Su considers you a friend and said you can come and go freely in her home. She's the mistress of the Li Mansion, and she keeps her word, so Dr. Mi, you don't need to be so reserved." Li Tingxi was in a good mood tonight and rarely spoke so much. He then gave Le Qing a meaningful look and said, "You seem to get along very well with Dr. Mi. If you want to continue having fun here, you'd better remember what I said."
Le Qing puffed out her cheeks and reluctantly accepted the ring: "Uncle Li, I will be good."
"That's good. You guys... continue eating." Li Tingxi waved his hand in a good mood, turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare Su Youling's late-night snack by himself, without calling anyone to help.
Le Qing glanced at the kitchen with some disdain. "He looks like a pampered young master. Can you even eat the food he makes?"
After saying that, he put away the ring and sat down to continue eating his noodles, afraid that leaving it for too long would affect the taste. "Aunt Mi's cooking is still the best."
Mi Cheng looked at Yue Qing with mixed feelings. "Can I take a look at that ring?"
Le Qing's heart skipped a beat—Dad said that Mom wasn't ready yet, and they couldn't reveal their relationship, otherwise Mom would be scared away.
My mother used to wear this ring too.
“This is a family heirloom, and Dad said I can’t just show it to anyone,” Le Qing stammered. “Last time I secretly took it out and gave it to Aunt Su to wear, and that caused a lot of trouble.”
Seeing his nervous look, Mi Cheng forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Since it was your father who said so, I won't watch it."
She paused, suppressing her nervousness, and casually probed, "Have you always lived abroad? I can tell you're mixed race..."
"Um, yes!" Le Qing nodded hastily, and said somewhat guiltily, "Our family has always been abroad. Although our ancestors were Chinese, after so many years, our bloodline has become quite mixed. My father said that our business is overseas, so we can't come back easily for the time being."
Mi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems you rarely go back to China."
"Yes, that's right. This is my first time back in China, and everything I see is new and amazing." Le Qing lowered her head, avoiding her eyes, afraid that she would give herself away if she said too much.
Hearing him say that, Mi Cheng subconsciously felt that this child's father was also returning for the first time, and temporarily put her mind at ease: "There are many fun things to do in China, you can try them out slowly."
She paused, then lowered her voice involuntarily: "Have you ever met your mother?"
Le Qing's heart skipped a beat. She quickly glanced up at her, then hurriedly went back to eating, mumbling, "Of course I've seen her."
Upon hearing this, Mi Cheng was completely relieved.
