The servants of the Li family were stunned when they saw their wife pulling a beautiful, gentle and quiet girl out of the car.
It’s not for any other reason, it’s just that the mother and daughter look so much alike.
Even their temperaments are somewhat similar.
"Chu Chu, this is our home. Come on, mom will take you around so you can get familiar with the home environment."
After the servants greeted Shi Qi, Ruan Qingwan couldn't wait to pull Shi Qi to the back garden of the villa.
On such an important day as Shi Qi's return home, Li Yuanliang and Li Shaoyu did not show up for duty.
Li Yuanliang got out of the car and followed his wife and daughter closely with a silly smile on his face.
The servants were amazed in their hearts but dared not show it on their faces. When they saw the young master glanced at them coldly, they immediately broke down and went about their business.
Retracting his gaze, Li Shaoyu looked at his mother and sister, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
There is a new swing in the back garden, which was built by Li Yuanliang and the workers.
Outside the swing frame, there is a flower garden.
There are all kinds of flowers planted inside, colorful flowers, bright and pleasing to the eye, and Shi Qi was attracted to them at the first sight.
In the past six months, the open space in the military family compound has been used by the wives of the military to grow vegetables and fruits. Shi Qi has never seen such large fields of flowers planted like the Li family.
At a glance, it was clear that these flowers were well taken care of by the gardener. Shi Qi took a look and then looked away.
“Chu Chu, your brother has already written the invitations.
Your family reunion dinner will be in a week.
In a couple of days, Mom will take you to the mall and we'll buy you some pretty clothes so you can look beautiful in front of everyone."
Pulling Shi Qi to admire the garden, Ruan Qingwan saw Li Shaoyu coming over with dessert, and then she remembered about the dinner party, which she had not yet told Shi Qi.
Shi Qi nodded, his eyes passing Ruan Qingwan, and then looking at Li Shaoyu who was gradually approaching:
"Brother, your wrists must be sore from having to write the invitations yourself, right?"
After a few jokes, Shi Qi watched Li Shaoyu approach the two of them and place the crystal clear dessert plate on the garden stone table.
"Dad personally compiled the dinner list. You have to write it no matter how sour it is."
Li Shaoyu rarely made a joke and sat on another swing to experience the swing made by Li Yuanliang himself.
Ruan Qingwan saw him sitting on it and laughed out loud:
"You two brothers and sisters, just sit still today. Mom will push you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Qingwan stepped forward and gave Shi Qi a light push.
The swing swung against the wind. Shi Qi held the swing rope and relaxed himself.
Li Shaoyu had no intention of swinging on this thing, so he sat for a while and then stood up.
"Dad went to the study, I'll go check it out.
Mom, you stay with your sister."
After saying that, Li Shaoyu left, leaving the space to the mother and daughter.
“Chu Chu, don’t mind it.
Your brother, like his uncle, is used to being very serious and can't handle these petty things.
It’s okay, Mom will play with you.”
When Ruan Qingwan noticed that Shi Qi was looking at Li Shaoyu, she explained and smiled as she sat on the swing next to her.
Shi Qi nodded and sat with Ruan Qingwan for a while. Suddenly, he became curious:
"Mom, is my brother married?"
During the time that the brother and sister met, Shi Qi saw that Li Shaoyu always kept to himself, and was surrounded by either bodyguards or drivers, so he thought that he should still be single.
Ruan Qingwan sighed and shook her head:
"Your brother has been sensible since he was young. Ever since you disappeared, his father and I have been trying to find you everywhere, and we have neglected him a little.
Although he never made a fuss, he became quieter day by day.
When he grew up, he became even more indifferent.
Apart from work matters and news about you, he has no interest in anything else.
In the past few years, my mother's friends have introduced several girls to him.
But your brother rejected them all.
He said that he had no plans to get married until he found you.
Well, it’s my fault.”
Speaking of Li Shaoyu's marriage, it is also a thorn in Ruan Qingwan's heart.
"Mom, don't worry. Now that I'm back, I'll help you persuade my brother to find a sister-in-law for me as soon as possible."
Ruan Qingwan's face was too ugly, Shi Qi quickly changed the subject:
"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to show me the room?
Let's go now.
After viewing the room, it’s time for dinner.”
Ruan Qingwan stood up, and her attention was indeed diverted:
"Okay, Mom will take you there now.
You don’t know that your father also made a study for you.
It's right next to your brother's study. Mom went in and took a look. The study is nicely decorated.
You’ll definitely like it.”
Shi Qi felt warm in his heart and nodded obediently:
"I like everything my parents prepare."
Having tasted the love of family, Shi Qi was reluctant to let go. He took Ruan Qingwan's arm and they walked up to the second floor together.
Turning the wooden stair railing, Shi Qi followed Ruan Qingwan to a bedroom.
Pushing open the door and looking at the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, Shi Qi couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
A breeze blew in, the curtains behind the window fluttered gently, and a pot of Phalaenopsis orchid blooming next to the dressing table was very beautiful.
Shi Qi walked into the room and took a look. He immediately felt Ruan Qingwan's sincerity and his eyes gradually became moist.
They really love their daughter.
Shi Qi almost forgot that he was traveling through a book and felt that Ruan Qingwan and the others were real people.
Make her feel warm and cherished.
After staying in the spacious and new room for a while, the servant came up downstairs and invited the two to go downstairs for dinner.
There used to be a rule at the Li family dinner table: don’t talk while eating.
It was the same when Li Shaoyu ate at home on weekdays. His parents were silent at the dinner table.
Only after dinner would everyone have a few words to talk to.
But today is different. Shi Qi's arrival brings a layer of color to the house.
Li Yuanliang took out the fine wine that he had collected for many years and asked Li Shaoyu to drink a few glasses with him.
Ruan Qingwan and Shi Qi didn't drink alcohol. They ate their meal with a glass of freshly squeezed lime juice in their hands.
Shi Qi really liked the taste, it was sour and sweet, and couldn't help but drink a few more sips.
Seeing that she liked it, the servant came over to fill up the cup next to her as soon as she had finished half of it.
The four of them had a great lunch.
Li Yuanliang drank the wine, his face flushed. He glanced at his wife and children, feeling proud and thinking that his life was complete.
Li Shaoyu felt satisfied when he saw his parents happy.
The family is finally reunited, and he can focus on his work from now on.
"Chuchu, are you tired?
If you’re not tired, mom will go shopping with you in the afternoon.
You don't have many sets of clothes in your room, let's go pick out a few to wear first."
Shi Qi originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought, since he was planning to open a store in Beijing, wouldn’t exploring the market be the first step?
A smile appeared in his eyes, and Shiqi nodded in response:
"Okay, Mom."
