Chapter 656 Competition
"I can shoot arrows, play pitch-pot... they should be similar, right?" Xingxing said expectantly. "I've seen slingshot games on TV, they look really interesting... can we play now?"
"Then let's have a competition with that little brat." Li Tingxi laughed, picked up Xingxing, and headed straight for the room downstairs. Before he even opened the door, he heard fierce smashing sounds coming from inside.
"Daddy, there's a husky." Yueyue ran over in a few quick steps, listened at the door for a while, and looked over with burning eyes. "It's tearing the house apart."
Before the words were finished—
哢.
The door lock was dented quite a bit.
"Yueyue, be careful." Just as Li Tingxi was about to pull his daughter back quickly, the door opened.
Le Qing stood behind the door with a stern face, looking up at Li Tingxi, holding a precious gold brooch in one hand and clenching her other fist: "You locked me up because you didn't have the guts to compete with me. What kind of man are you?"
Li Tingxi's face darkened; he really wanted to throw this unpleasant brat out.
"You can't even beat me, so why should you compete with my dad?" Xingxing jumped down from Li Tingxi's arms, walked over to Le Qing and circled around twice. "We're not three-year-olds anymore. Let's have a fair duel between men."
"You?" Yue Qing glanced at Xingxing with disdain. "You're no good. I'm going to duel with her man. Only the winner can decide who she belongs to."
He raised his finger and pointed at Su Youling standing on the stairs, with a determined look on his face. "So, he has to compete with me."
"You little brat!" Li Tingxi was about to roll up his sleeves and teach him a lesson, but Su Youling, who couldn't help but laugh, stopped him. "Alright, you're a grown man, why are you arguing with a child?"
"With his way of thinking, how can he be like a child?" Li Tingxi said with a dark face. "Children should be as cute, sensible, and lovable as our children."
Su Youling: "..."
Cute, sensible, likable... all of these are fine.
But the way the three little ones think is not like that of ordinary children, is it?
Li Tingxi is simply a case of 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'...
At this moment—
"Brother, are you going to try and take Mommy away from me?" A clear, sweet little voice rang out, melting hearts with its sweetness.
Le Qing looked around in confusion.
Who is speaking?
The voice is so beautiful, like melting cotton candy.
Just then, someone gently tugged at my sleeve, like a willow branch brushing against a calm lake, so gentle it was almost unbelievable, yet hard to miss.
Looking down, I was met with a pair of beautiful, large eyes, like glass.
Le Qing's eyes widened in shock. She raised her hand and poked her cotton candy-like face, exclaiming, "Warm and soft... This is a real person."
This little one looks just like a beautiful doll, with exceptionally expressive and captivating big eyes. When she looks at you with her moist eyes, you feel like you want to present the whole world to her.
"Brother, don't poke me." Yueyue rubbed her little face, looking at Leqing unhappily. "We're all kids. If we're going to compete, it should be us competing against you. Dad is an adult. Even if he wins, it's not a fair victory. And if he loses..."
She glanced at Li Tingxi's tall and handsome figure: "Dad won't lose. He's the most amazing person in the world. He can do everything."
Besides pursuing his wife.

"Yueyue is right. Daddy won't argue with a child." Li Tingxi felt warm inside after being praised by his little princess. His daughter was truly his sweet little angel. These words were incredibly heartwarming. "Our little princess is also the most sensible and understanding child in the world."
Yueyue smiled shyly, then asked Yueqing earnestly, "What does a slingshot look like? Can I learn for an hour before we compete?"
Le Qing was almost charmed by those big, bright eyes, and shook her head: "I'm not going to compete with you."
Yueyue's face immediately fell: "Huh?"
"Let him do it." Le Qing straightened his back, unable to bear seeing the little princess sad, and walked over to Xingxing. "A slingshot, do you know how?"
"What's so hard about this?" Xingxing scratched her head, looking quite self-assured. "I can learn it even if I don't know how. I can master it in ten minutes."
Le Qing gave him a disdainful look: "How can a man not know how to use a slingshot?"
Upon hearing this, Xingxing immediately retorted, "What's so great about using a slingshot? I can shoot arrows, can you?"
Le Qing snorted coldly: "So many people are learning archery, I don't want to learn something so common."
For a moment, the atmosphere froze.
Su Youling walked down without making a sound, pulled Li Tingxi aside, and whispered, "Look, doesn't Le Qing get along well with the children? I don't know why, but I always feel that I have a connection with this child. Let him stay until his family arrives."
Li Tingxi looked at the annoying ring on her finger and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing how Yueyue and Xingxing were having a lively discussion with Le Qing, he ultimately couldn't be petty enough to argue with a child: "I was just scaring him, how could I really throw him out?"
Su Youling gave him a half-smile: "Of course, our CEO Li is a real man, how could he do something so childish as to bully a child?"
Li Tingxi: "..."
Seeing that Xingxing and Yueqing were about to start arguing, he strode over and pulled the two children apart: "Stop arguing. To be fair, each of you will learn the other's specialty for half an hour, and then each of you will have a match to determine the winner. If it's a tie, then the last competition will be..."
He looked at Yueyue, "It's up to Yueyue to decide."
Xingxing readily agreed.
Le Qing was still somewhat hesitant.
If it's a draw, they'll decide the last match, wouldn't we be at a huge disadvantage?
At this moment, Yueyue nodded excitedly, blinking her big eyes: "Great! Then I can join the competition too! I want to participate in the battle to protect Mom!"
Seeing her smile so brightly, Yue Qing instantly forgot all her hesitation: "Then it's settled."
She's just a cute doll, what bad intentions could she possibly have?
Even if she decides the final competition, I might not necessarily lose.
After agreeing on the terms, Yueqing and Xingxing first demonstrated each other's skills, then switched places to practice on their own. It was a bit of a hassle for Yueyue, who ran back and forth checking on things, and ended up sweating profusely.
Seeing this, a triumphant smile flashed in Li Tingxi's eyes. He walked to Yueyue's side and whispered, "If it ends in a tie, you'll have to leave the match..."
Yueyue said with a serious face, "Dad, you can't cheat. I want to choose the competition myself, and you can't be biased. It's already unfair that so many of us are beating my brother."
