Chapter 714: She sacrificed so much for this family.
"I'll just wear whatever..." Su Youling looked at the fire in his eyes, sighed silently, and threw away the clothes she was going to change into. "The weather is dry, I want to take a bath."
Li Tingxi's eyes flickered, and he understood immediately: "Together?"
"Come on, stop talking nonsense!" Su Youling grabbed his collar and kissed him. "Dr. Xia will be returning to China tomorrow."
Li Tingxi paused, then pinched Su Youling's cheek with a hint of helplessness, biting her lips as punishment: "Can't you not say things like this at a time like this? I feel like we're making a deal right now."
Su Youling: "..."
That's really true.
She was so focused on Li Tingxi's illness that she never expected there to be this hidden meaning; it sounded like an equal exchange.
No wonder Li Tingxi was unhappy.
"I was wrong." She jumped up and hung directly on Li Tingxi, her eyes brimming with smiles, like a cunning little fox. "How about this, I'll make it up to you."
“…You…” Li Tingxi sighed helplessly. In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation of beauty. He didn’t care about any deal or compensation. He just wanted to make the person in front of him take advantage of him.
The nightlights gradually dimmed.
Hao Tianyi brought her four children home and was a little surprised to see the woman sitting on the sofa reading medical books: "Dr. Mi, aren't you asleep so late? There's no one at home with you. How can Su Youling be the lady of the house?"
“They’re busy.” Mi Cheng said succinctly, her gaze rising and landing precisely on Le Qing. She paused slightly, then said, “You…”
"Oh, this is Yueyue's friend. We met when we were on vacation on the island with Brother Tingxi and the others. We ran into each other at the archery range today. The little guy hadn't had enough fun, so we brought him back with us." Hao Tianyi didn't notice Mi Cheng's strange expression and looked up as she walked upstairs. "What are those two busy with? They're workaholics all the time. I take care of the child, and now they want me to help look after the guests too?"
After taking only two steps, Xingxing and Yueyue immediately stepped forward at the same time, pulling Hao Tianyi to the room on either side. "Auntie, we're so sleepy. Let's wash up and go to bed. We want to sleep with you tonight."
"Huh?" Hao Tianyi was both surprised and sweet. "You're usually always clinging to your parents, so why are you suddenly clinging to me today? Is there some kind of scheme behind this?"
Yueyue and Xingxing said in unison, "We love Auntie!"
Hao Tianyi was so charmed by sweet words that she forgot she was supposed to be greeting the guests. She eagerly led Yueyue into the house, saying, "Okay, I'm going to give you a bath and pinch your chubby cheeks. I really want to pinch them."
Yueyue's face stiffened, and she sighed silently, "I've sacrificed so much for this family..."
at the same time.
Seeing this family enjoying themselves so happily, Mi Cheng couldn't help but feel a little envious. If it weren't for those inexplicable events that happened back then, and the sudden changes that completely altered her life, she probably would have been living a family life with her children long ago.
Suddenly, my palm felt warm.
She looked down and met a pair of somewhat familiar mixed-race eyes, filled with the same envy: "What... is your name?"
"Le Qing." The little guy said seriously.

As if in a job interview, she pretended to be calm and collected on the surface, but was actually extremely nervous inside, which made her eyebrows and eyes become serious. "My name is Le Qing, Le as in happiness and Qing as in greenwood. Auntie, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's a great honor to be with you."
puff!
His serious tone and earnest demeanor, combined with his cool and adorable mixed-race face... are just too cute.
"Leqing, what a nice name!" Mi Cheng squatted down and unconsciously pinched the little boy's cheek, just like Hao Tianyi had pinched Yueyue just now. She was even a little surprised by her own naturalness. "I'm sorry, little one. Auntie just didn't mean to... Did it hurt you?"
Seeing the little guy's stern face, she felt a little guilty and uneasy as she let go of his hand, saying helplessly, "Auntie doesn't have children and doesn't have much experience interacting with them. If I did anything wrong, please give me some pointers."
"No." Le Qing quickly grabbed Mi Cheng's hand and placed it on her face, then raised her little face and smiled shyly at her: "Auntie, I don't have a mother either, and my father is often not at home, so I don't have much experience interacting with adults. If I do anything wrong, please give me some pointers."
His serious tone was exactly the same as Mi Cheng's. The mother and son smiled at each other, and a natural sense of intimacy arose between them.
"What do you like to eat? Auntie will have someone get it for you, okay?" Mi Cheng had been staying at the Li Mansion for the past few days. At first, she was a little reserved, but fortunately, Su Youling was a very approachable hostess who was good at understanding people's hearts. In just a few days, she made Mi Cheng relax her guard.
When Li Tingxi is not around, Mi Cheng is free to come and go as she pleases, without needing any servants. She can freely enter and exit public areas such as the living room, kitchen, and garden, just like she is at home.
Upon hearing that the child had no mother and that her father was often away, and comparing her to the two happy and beautiful children she had just seen, she couldn't help but feel more sorry for Yue Qing. "Let's go to the kitchen together and see. We made a lot of desserts tonight."
Le Qing doesn't like sweets. To be precise, the Le Zheng family has very strict rules. When he is at home, his food and sustenance are allocated by a special person and there are also rules to follow. The food must be nutritionally balanced, and sweets and spicy foods are absolutely not allowed to be eaten in large quantities.
Not to mention desserts and similar snacks, he only eats them a few times a year, and over time, he has lost interest in sweets.
Seeing Mi Cheng bring the dessert to him, he couldn't resist taking a bite, willingly sitting down next to her and enjoying it, before closing his eyes slightly.
Seeing his mature demeanor, serious and upright, and the occasional childlike side he showed, made Mi Cheng feel even more sorry for and fond of him: "The way you eat sweets is exactly like my daughter."
After chewing, Yue Qing slowly took a sip of water before elegantly asking, "Auntie has a daughter? Didn't you say you didn't have any children?"
"It's a long story. That child was adopted by my mother. I only spent about ten days with her after returning to China recently, so we're not very familiar with each other." Mi Cheng didn't know why she would tell these things to a child she had just met. But when she saw Le Qing's eyes, which were very similar to Mi Wei's, she couldn't help but say whatever came to mind and treat him like her own child.
"Oh, I see. Auntie learns very quickly. You'll definitely be a great mom," Yue Qing said enviously, looking at Mi Cheng. "I wish you were my mom."
