Chapter 84 The Old Iron Tree Wants to Bloom



Early on a weekend morning, Fourth Uncle Li Qichen returned to the Li Family Manor.

Ever since the unlucky ghost left him, his overall condition has been getting better and better.

My back doesn't ache anymore, my legs don't hurt anymore, and I don't even get out of breath when I go upstairs.

The key is his mental state, which has visibly improved.

The Li family hadn't seen Li Qichen talking to himself in a long time.

The first thing Li Qichen did upon returning to the Li family manor was to find his little lucky star—Xiao Yanbao.

There is basically no homework in kindergarten. Even if there is homework, Xiao Yanbao will finish it all as soon as possible before he can play freely.

At this moment, the older brothers are all in their rooms doing their homework, while Xiao Yanbao is drawing alone in the living room's relaxation area.

Well-behaved and quiet, she doesn't need Zhong Jingyi to worry about her much at all; she's practically an angel baby!

Following the family rules and etiquette of the Li family, Li Qichen first went to see the old master and old lady of the Li family before returning to the living room to talk to Xiao Yanbao.

"Yanbao, do you want some pizza? Your fourth uncle will take you to get some pizza!"

Li Qichen seemed to be in a good mood, his eyes crinkling with laughter, and his tone gentle.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanbao unconsciously stopped drawing and looked up at her fourth uncle.

"I want to eat it!"

The little boy smiled, his eyes crinkling, and said in his childish voice, "Third Brother said pizza is made from braised naan. The naan that Second Aunt brought back last time was delicious, so pizza must be delicious too!"

She's never actually eaten pizza before!

Naan with gravy...

Upon hearing these three words, Li Qichen was clearly stunned for a moment: That brat Li Muhao is always talking nonsense and teaching Xiao Yanbao a bunch of random things.

However, Li Qichen only silently complained in his heart, but on the surface he still echoed Xiao Yanbao's words and said with a smile:

"Okay! Then Fourth Uncle will take Yanbao to eat braised naan! Yanbao can eat as much as he wants!"

"That won't do!"

While tidying up her drawing table, Xiao Yanbao said softly, "Mom said that no matter how delicious something is, you can't eat too much at once, or you'll hurt your tummy."

Adorable human cubs.

Li Qichen looked at her with complete doting eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her little head, saying, "Mommy is right, Yanbao is such an obedient and good child!"

I was praised by my fourth uncle.

Xiao Yanbao looked very happy. She said to Li Qichen, "Fourth Uncle, please wait for Yan Yan for a moment. I'm going to change my clothes."

Little one is going out for pizza with Uncle Si, so he needs to wear a nice and appropriate outfit so as not to embarrass Uncle Si.

"Go quickly! Your fourth uncle is waiting for you here."

Li Qichen watched Xiao Yanbao leave, then sat on the sofa in the living room and waited patiently.

While waiting, he carefully tidied his clothes.

He dressed very carefully today, wearing a suit that was both formal and casual, paired with a very silky shirt, and decorated with a valuable gemstone brooch on the collar.

His black suit trousers perfectly showcased his exceptionally long and slender legs, and his leather shoes were polished to a gleaming shine.

Seemingly to match his clothes, Li Qichen even styled his hair himself.

In short, one word sums it up: a repressed flirt!

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yanbao finally changed her clothes and came to the living room.

Compared to her uncle's exquisite and glamorous attire, the little girl's outfit was very simple and casual: a soft and comfortable sporty dress paired with sneakers, and her fine hair tied into a small bun.

Xiao Yanbao wore a dress because her fourth uncle was going to take her out for a delicious meal. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about the waistband getting too tight around her stomach if she ate too much!

The little one may be young, but he's very smart!

"Fourth Uncle, is it okay for Yan Yan to dress like this?"

Little Yanbao held onto the straps of her small bag with both hands, tilted her head slightly, and asked Li Qichen a question.

Li Qichen gave the little boy a thumbs up and praised, "Our Yanbao is beautiful, he looks cute in anything!"

As he spoke, he walked over to Xiao Yanbao, picked her up with one hand, and walked outside.

In the car, Li Qichen drove at a steady speed while asking the little boy sitting in the car seat behind the driver:

"Yanbao, did you tell Mommy before you left?"

The little boy nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I told you, Mommy picked out the clothes for Yan Yan!"

"Yanyan also called her father to tell him, but her father told her not to tell her grandfather. Yanyan doesn't quite understand why?"

Little Yanbao tilted her head slightly and frowned, seemingly puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Li Qichen gave a self-deprecating smile and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Because in your grandfather's eyes, your fourth uncle is a mentally ill person. If he knew that, he definitely wouldn't agree to me taking you out alone."

The old man of the Li family is a very stubborn and domineering person. Once he has made up his mind about something, it is very difficult for him to change his mind.

Even though Li Qichen has clearly recovered, the old man still feels that something is wrong with him.

"Yanyan thinks her fourth uncle is very normal! And he's becoming more and more normal."

Through the rearview mirror, Xiao Yanbao gave her fourth uncle a very affirming look, encouraging him.

Like her, her fourth uncle was considered an oddball because he could see things that normal people couldn't.
