Chapter 280 Dinner Together
Yueyue understood that she was referring to Su Youling waiting for them.
Remembering that Su Youling had seriously told her before that she didn't want to meet Li Tingxi, the little girl pouted dejectedly.
But the handsome uncle can understand her work, and she really likes him!
Yueyue couldn't help but turn back to look at Li Tingxi on the other side, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with him like this.
Karina and Lele, who were already seething with anger, could not miss her pleading gaze.
Karina felt that this little girl had no sense of propriety and disliked her even more.
Lele was already jealous that Yueyue had stolen her thunder and won Li Tingxi's favor, and now she was even angrier.
She broke free from Karina's grasp and ran over to grab Li Tingxi's leg, simultaneously blocking Yueyue behind her, and deliberately called out loudly, "Daddy, can we go now?"
Karina also came over, looking at Li Tingxi with a troubled expression. "Tingxi, I'm not feeling well. Could you take me and Lele home first?"
Li Tingxi's plan to talk to Yueyue for a while was disrupted, and he frowned involuntarily.
Lele's eyes instantly reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry: "Daddy, I want to go back!"
Li Tingxi had a headache, so he could only walk over and say goodbye to Yueyue and Xingxing.
After everyone left, Yueyue's mood immediately plummeted. Even when she saw Su Youling and Yangyang return, she remained sullen.
Su Youling felt a pang of sadness seeing her like this, but when she thought of how Li Tingxi already had Karina and Lele by his side, she hardened her heart and solemnly said, holding Yueyue's little hand, "Baby, your uncle has his own family, so you can't bother them anymore, okay?"
Yueyue nodded listlessly, "I understand."
However, just as they were leaving after exchanging contact information with the organizers, Yueyue suddenly noticed that Li Tingxi had left behind a keychain. Her eyes lit up instantly, "Mommy, Uncle left something behind! I'll take it to him!"
Before Su Youling could stop her, the little girl had already run away quickly.
Yueyue chased them all the way to the first floor, and when she came out of the door, she only saw Karina and Lele waiting outside. She was about to turn around and run to the garage.
Karina and Lele's conversation abruptly brought her to a stop.
"Lele, do you want your godfather to become your real father?" Karina squatted down and hugged Lele, asking her earnestly.
Lele answered without hesitation, "Of course."
"If Mom and Godfather give you a little brother, we can be together forever," Karina's voice carried a hint of coaxing. "Even if a little brother is born, it won't take away Mom and Godfather's love for you, so are you willing?"
Hiding behind a vase, Yueyue's first reaction upon realizing that Li Tingxi was not Lele's biological father was happiness. However, upon hearing Karina's plan to have a younger brother for Lele with Li Tingxi that night, she felt sad again.
No way! Since the handsome uncle doesn't have a wife and daughter, why can't he be her daddy? She absolutely cannot let the handsome uncle have a younger brother with this annoying aunt!
The little girl clenched her fists and ran towards the garage, just in time to run into Li Tingxi, who was already in his car and about to leave the garage.
When Li Tingxi saw her, he immediately stopped his car and walked up to her, asking, "Yueyue, where are your mother and brother?"
Yueyue stared straight at him. "Handsome uncle, I came to find you. Here, is this what you dropped?" she said, holding the keychain up to his face.
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Li Tingxi's expression changed, and he immediately took the keychain and put it away carefully.
They bought this together five years ago on the day he fell into the sea, and he has kept it with him ever since.
He smiled and ruffled Yueyue's hair: "Thank you, Yueyue."
Yueyue narrowed her eyes, put her little hands behind her back, and asked expectantly, "Then, to thank me, could Uncle come with me to dinner?"
Li Tingxi was amused by the little girl's strange logic. After thinking for a moment, he didn't refuse: "What about your mother and brother? Do you want them to come along?"
Yueyue happily bounced around, knowing that Su Youling and Yangyang wouldn't agree, so she said, "My mommy is here, and my second brother Xingxing is here too."
The "mommy" she was referring to was naturally Wen Xi.
Li Tingxi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "You have two older brothers?"
Yueyue nodded: "Yes."
Karina and Lele waited for quite a while at the entrance of the art center. Finally, Li Tingxi's car arrived, but unexpectedly, it was Yueyue's little head sticking out of the passenger window.
Karina gripped Lele's shoulder tighter involuntarily, her smile somewhat forced: "Tingxi, what's wrong?"
Wenxi had already arrived with Xingxing.
Li Tingxi got out of the car with Yueyue.
Yueyue excitedly told her that Li Tingxi had agreed to have dinner with them.
Karina and Lele's faces turned green.
“Tingxi, weren’t you going to take Lele and me home? I’ve already made a reservation at the restaurant,” Karina bit her lower lip, took Lele’s hand and walked to Li Tingxi’s side, wanting to take his hand. “The little girl’s mother is here, we don’t need to bother them.”
Li Tingxi frowned, avoiding her movements, and glanced at her indifferently before shutting her up with a single sentence: "Weren't you feeling unwell? I've already had Qin He drive over to pick you up."
Qin He arrived before they even finished speaking.
Lele refused to get in the car no matter what, and ran over to hug Li Tingxi's leg. "Daddy, you can't go to eat with this jerk. I want you and Mommy to give me a little brother!"
Li Tingxi's face instantly turned ashen. He glared at Karina, his eyes cold and intimidating: "Is this what you taught Lele?"
Karina rushed over in a panic, covered Lele's mouth, and explained to him with a pale face, "Tingxi, Lele is talking nonsense, I didn't mean it."
"You'd better not have one." Li Tingxi coldly withdrew his gaze and ordered Qin He to take the mother and daughter away immediately.
Watching Karina and Lele being driven away, Yueyue couldn't hide the joy on her face.
Wen Xi knew that she probably had to have this meal, so she could only secretly send a message to Su Youling.
Su Youling replied, telling her to keep an eye on Yueyue and not let her say the wrong thing.
Once they arrived at the restaurant, Wenxi and Xingxing spoke very little; the only sound at the table was Yueyue's giggling laughter.
Li Tingxi formally introduced himself.
Wen Xi smiled perfunctorily, but when Li Tingxi asked about Yangyang, her expression became unnatural for a moment, and she gave a vague answer to brush it off.
Li Tingxi couldn't help but glance at her again, feeling a strange unease in his heart.
Just as the food was being served, a little child suddenly rushed over from the aisle. The waiter dodged to avoid it, and the soup bowl in his hand momentarily lost its balance and tilted towards Yueyue.
Wen Xi turned pale with fright and was about to pull Yueyue away when Li Tingxi, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and used his arm and half of his body to block Yueyue.
