Arriving at the gate of the compound, Li Yuehuan turned to look at the man, "Lu Shen, I've arrived."
Even though he already knew that Li Yuehuan's identity was not simple, Lu Shen was still shocked when he actually saw it.
The gap between them is still huge. If he wants to marry Huanhuan, he must make himself stronger.
"I'll watch you go in from the doorway."
Li Yuehuan turned back every three steps, and in order not to let others notice anything unusual, she refrained from waving.
Only when she could no longer see the man did she skip and hop home. When she met acquaintances on the way, she greeted them with a smile, but no one was surprised, because she was always so polite.
"Wife, what are you looking at?"
Li Hanting drove into the military compound and caught a glimpse of Su Jingjing's thoughtful expression in the rearview mirror.
"I just saw someone who looks like Huanhuan's classmate."
Su Jingjing snapped out of her daze and looked at the man's profile. In the sunlight, his features were clear and handsome.
Li Hanting smiled slightly, "This girl is popular; her classmates often come to our house to play."
Su Jingjing remained silent. She didn't say that it was the man Huanhuan had a crush on, otherwise A Ting definitely wouldn't have been so calm.
Chen Shufang was tending to her flowers in the yard when Huanhuan came skipping in, humming a little tune, and greeted her warmly.
"Mom, is there food ready?"
Li Yuehuan plopped down in a chair, holding a teacup, and looked at Chen Shufang.
"Soon."
Chen Shufang glanced at her, got up and went to the tap to wash her hands. After drying them, she walked over to her side.
"What's wrong? What have you been doing outside? Are you hungry already?"
A casual remark left Li Yuehuan stunned for a few seconds.
"What else can I do? I've made plans to see a movie with some friends."
Watching a movie so early in the morning is indeed a bit strange.
Chen Shufang took a sip of tea. "Mom, you seem to be in a very good mood."
"Is there?"
Li Yuehuan avoided her eyes, "Isn't this what I do every day?"
"By the way, where's my dad?"
"Your dad took An'an and Yuanyuan out to play."
Chen Shufang found her daughter increasingly strange.
"Don't change the subject, have you been playing pranks again?"
Li Yuehuan was immediately relieved, thinking that her mother had such a sharp eye that she could tell that she was dating someone.
"Don't worry, I've been very well-behaved outside and haven't caused any trouble."
Just then, a car drove in, and she spotted the license plate with her sharp eyes.
"Mom, it's my second brother's car."
Chen Shufang quickly stopped her nagging and got up to walk towards Su Jingjing and the others.
"They're here. An'an and Yuanyuan have been taken out by your dad."
"Mom, we're coming over for a free meal today."
Su Jingjing took her mother-in-law's arm and said affectionately.
Chen Shufang laughed heartily, "Of course, no problem. Mom would love for you to eat at home every day."
“Every day it’s just me, your dad, and Huanhuan eating at home. It’s so boring.”
Isn't that right?
Old Li eats very formally and seriously. He will never speak unless you take the initiative to start a conversation.
"Mom was thinking that you guys could move back home for a few days during the Chinese New Year, so that our family could have some fun too."
"Okay, I'll bring the children back before then."
Su Jingjing comforted her mother-in-law, saying that a large courtyard would be very lonely without the warmth of human interaction.
"That's good."
Chen Shufang patted her hand, "By the way, all my old friends bought clothes from your store and they all raved about them, saying that you gave them the best price."
"Mom is worried that you might lose money."
After all, the clothing store hasn't been open for long, and they haven't even recouped their investment yet.
Su Jingjing sat down with her mother-in-law. "Mom, they are your good friends, so I will definitely take care of them. But don't worry, even if I give them the best price, I will still make a profit."
She certainly wouldn't let herself lose money.
Chen Shufang really enjoyed talking to Su Jingjing; every word she said made people feel comfortable.
Li Yuehuan was caught by her second brother, "Stop! Where are you going?"
"Second brother, I'm going back to my room to change my clothes. We can have dinner when Dad comes back."
Li Yuehuan bit her lip and playfully stuck out her tongue.
“I heard you’ve been away from home a lot lately, going out and having fun every day.”
Li Hanting continued without changing his expression, "If you're really that free, come and help your sister-in-law at the store."
"But I can't do anything."
She did try, but she only made things worse.
"If you don't know how, you can learn. Either stay at home to study or go to the store to help out."
Seeing her second brother's resolute attitude, Li Yuehuan had no choice but to ask her mother for help.
Only children make choices.
"Mom, look, as soon as my second brother came back, he made me make a choice."
"You should control him."
Chen Shufang tapped Huanhuan's forehead helplessly, "Your second brother is right, you've been living too comfortably. All you do is go out for a stroll every day. If your dad found out, he'd skin you alive."
Li Yuehuan was anxious. If she couldn't go out, how could she go on a date with Lu Shen?
"But you promised me that if I ranked in the top ten of my class in the final exams, I could do whatever I wanted with my winter break. You can't go back on your word."
Chen Shufang was speechless for a moment. She had just said it casually, and she really didn't expect this girl to improve by twenty places in one go, as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
"That was your mother's promise, not mine."
Li Yuan walked in, holding one child in each hand.
When the two children saw their parents sitting on the sofa, they quickly ran over and snuggled up to them.
