“My dad and mom have a very good relationship. Don’t think that just because my mom isn’t home, you have the opportunity to stay away from my house,” he said coldly.
Dr. Jiao was stunned and stood there, feeling ashamed that her thoughts had been exposed, after being warned by such a young child as Sanwa.
"I...I'm not." She wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.
When Li Huai returned the book, he felt a little nervous seeing the two of them standing face to face.
"Three babies."
The third child gave his father a sweet smile. "Dad, let's go."
"Oh, okay."
The stark contrast in the three children's appearance before and after also shocked Dr. Jiao once again.
Tao Ailian was waiting outside the library when she saw Li Huai and his son come out and get into the car, but Dr. Jiao was nowhere to be seen. Anxious, she went inside to look for him.
When he saw Dr. Jiao standing there in a daze, he said with a hint of exasperation, "I saw that Political Commissar Li has already left. Did you talk to him?"
"Huh?" Dr. Jiao came to her senses and said blankly, "Their child."
"What's wrong? Did he play a trick on you?"
"No, he... he said some strange things."
Tao Ailian sneered. "I told you he wasn't a normal child. I don't know how Zhao Qinglan raised him."
Seeing that Dr. Jiao looked dejected, she encouraged him.
“You can’t give up because of this. He’s just a kid, what can he do? As long as you can win over Political Commissar Li.”
"But Political Commissar Li didn't say more than a few words to me," Dr. Jiao said, feeling disappointed.
"Zhao Qinglan is finally away from home, this is a rare opportunity. If you still want to be with Political Commissar Li, cherish this time." Tao Ailian didn't hide anything and said directly.
On the way back, Sanwa was still curious about how Dr. Jiao had found him, and even asked Xiao Chu about it.
However, Xiao Chu was also completely confused.
Li Huai also realized that something was wrong with Dr. Jiao, and his brows furrowed.
When they got home, Sanwa found out the answer.
When they returned, Grandma Su called for Sanwa. After learning from Grandma Su that Tao Ailian had caused all this trouble, Sanwa decided he couldn't bear it anymore.
There were some things the father couldn't say outright, but he was just a "little kid," so he wasn't afraid.
After watching Tao Ailian return home and waiting for Deputy Chief of Staff Xu to return as well, Sanwa went for a stroll next door.
Hello, Uncle Xu.
Upon seeing Sanwa, Deputy Chief of Staff Xu also took a liking to him. "Oh, Sanwa."
Tao Ailian didn't like Sanwa that much. Firstly, she didn't like Zhao Qinglan's children in the first place, and secondly, wasn't it Sanwa who ruined their plans?
However, she couldn't say anything to Sanwa in front of her husband, so she just wasn't very enthusiastic.
But she doesn't target Sanwa, yet Sanwa targets her.
"Uncle Xu, why does Aunt Tao keep taking that aunt who eats with us to find my dad?"
Tao Ailian's expression changed drastically. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Sanwa looked completely innocent. "I'm not making this up. Yesterday, that aunt stopped Dad from giving him something. Today, Dad and I went to the library, and Aunt Tao, you and that aunt went with us too."
Tao Ailian couldn't hide her shock. "How did this kid know when I wasn't even here?"
Standing to the side, Deputy Chief of Staff Xu was seething with anger.
He thought his wife had taken his words to heart, but she actually went even further behind his back.
Because Sanwa was present, he couldn't get angry, so he could only say, "Sanwa, there must be some misunderstanding. Go home, and your uncle will explain it to your aunt."
"Oh." After complaining, Sanwa left gracefully.
As soon as the third child left, Deputy Chief of Staff Xu became furious with his wife.
"Have you lost your mind? Why are you trying to ruin someone else's family harmony?"
“He’s just a kid talking nonsense. I didn’t do anything.” Tao Ailian’s eyes darted around.
"Nonsense? You didn't do it, but others know it all too well. Do you really want me to go and ask Li Huai face to face?"
Tao Ailian immediately burst into tears. "I only helped Dr. Jiao because I felt sorry for him."
“She’s pitiful, but I think she’s hateful for trying to break up someone else’s family. What kind of person is she? If I find out you’re seeing her again or helping her with anything, I’ll never forgive you.”
Sanwa returned home, concealing his merits and fame, and said nothing.
Li Huai found it strange to see his youngest son's leisurely demeanor.
"Didn't you say you were going to call your mom? Why haven't you called yet?"
"Okay, start now," Sanwa said slowly.
Zhao Qinglan and the others had just finished eating when they received a call from their youngest son.
After exchanging a few greetings, Sanwa suddenly said something.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll take good care of Dad."
Li Huai glared at his son.
Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but chuckle. "Your dad's such a grown man, he doesn't need you to look after him anymore."
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. My dad is so old, but he's still so charming. As his son, all I can do is put in a little extra effort for him."
Zhao Qinglan found it strange that her youngest son was suddenly bringing this up.
Li Huai had already snatched the phone from his son's hand.
"Qinglan, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Hey Li Huai, you didn't do anything wrong while I was gone, did you?"
"No, I just go to work and go home all day, what could possibly happen to me?"
"real?"
"Come, I'll cut my heart out and show it to you."
"No, it's too bloody and scary."
"Come back as soon as Erwa finishes his college entrance exam." Li Huai couldn't say he missed him in front of his son, so he could only express it subtly.
"knew."
After hanging up the phone, Li Huai glared at his son.
"Li Yan'an, I think you're really asking for a beating."
No matter how fast the third child ran, he couldn't dodge his father's iron palm and got hit on the bottom several times.
Sanwa rubbed his sore bottom, feeling incredibly resentful. Was it easy for him to maintain harmony in his family?
Faced with her husband's anger again, Tao Ailian dared not do anything underhanded, because her husband had even threatened to divorce her.
After lying down that night, Li Huai pondered the repeated advances of Dr. Jiao.
Dr. Jiao didn't make it clear; was he going to explain it to him?
He had no experience dealing with this kind of thing, and just thinking about it for a while gave him a headache.
That night, Zhao Qinglan lay in bed and fell into deep thought.
The youngest son wouldn't make things up without reason. Why would he suddenly say he needs to keep a close eye on her husband? Has something happened that she doesn't know about?
Her eyes sharpened at the thought; if Li Huai dared to do anything behind her back that betrayed her, she would not let it go.
If Li Huai treats her well, she can reciprocate in kind. But if he betrays her, she is no longer the weak Zhao Qinglan she was in her previous life.
She hoped Li Huai wouldn't betray her trust in him; after all, she had told him her biggest secret.
After encountering another setback, Dr. Jiao made a sudden decision: perhaps Political Commissar Li was just being too cautious; why didn't she go and talk to him to get to the bottom of things?
Tao Ailian is right. With Zhao Qinglan gone, this is her best chance.
That night, several people tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
