Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Xiwu was wearing an apron and holding a glass bowl filled with flour and egg juice. She was about to make Youyou’s favorite grapefruit cake. She had ordered grapefruit on the Internet at the last minute. When she heard the commotion just now, she thought that the grapefruit delivery had arrived.
When she came out, she saw that Pei Jingzhou was back. He Wang, whom she had not seen for a while, was also here. The six eyes met, and the air was briefly silent.
He Wang was the first to speak. He walked forward with a cheeky smile. “Sister-in-law, it’s only been a few days since we last met. Why are you becoming more and more beautiful?”
Li Xiwu smiled and praised each other. “Young Master He is also more handsome than before.”
He Wang touched his chin. “Right? I think so too. Recently, I can’t help but exclaim every time I look in the mirror. The person so handsome in the mirror is actually me.”
Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. She looked up at Pei Jingzhou, who was standing motionless. He was also looking at her.
Their gazes met briefly, and it was obvious that he was also very puzzled by Youyou’s appearance. But think about it, who wouldn’t be puzzled and not surprised when a child they had met once by chance suddenly appeared in their house after a period of time?!
“Sister-in-law,” He Wang suddenly shouted.
Li Xiwu glanced sideways. “Huh?”
He Wang had always been friendly and sweet-tongued. He kept calling her sister-in-law so smoothly and nicely. He walked to Li Xiwu’s side and pointed at Youyou, who was standing there. “If I didn’t hear wrongly just now, you said that the child is from yours?
Li Xiwu looked calm. “Yes.”
He Wang hissed and thought for a moment. He felt that he should have guessed it, so he said, “This child should be from the MO family, right?”
Only a child of the MO family could explain why Li Xiwu said, “Mine.” Because the MO family was also her family. It made sense.
Li Xiwu took a deep look at He Wang and smiled. “Mine means it’s mine. Why is it from the MO family again?
He Wang also smiled. “How is that possible? It’s yours. Could it be that you and Fourth Brother gave birth to it?”
They had only been married for three years, but she had already given birth to a child who was at least three or four years old. It was not reasonable at all, okay? Unless Fourth Brother’s head was glowing green. But that was obviously even more impossible.
However, Li Xiwu’s words were shocking. “My child was naturally born with my husband. Otherwise, who would I have given birth to it with?”
As Li Xiwu finished speaking, the smile on He Wang’s lips suddenly froze. He turned to look at Pei Jingzhou, then at the child with a horrified expression.
“What the f*ck?! He Wang almost broke his voice.
At this moment, Youyou walked around Pei Jingzhou and walked towards the door. She looked left, then right. When she couldn’t find her Ultraman, she raised her head and asked in a muffled voice, “Where’s my Tyler?”
Li Xiwu was stunned when she heard this and hurried over. When she passed by Pei Jingzhou, he grabbed her wrist. Li Xiwu looked up at him. Pei Jingzhou’s eyes were very deep. He seemed to have a lot to ask her, and Li Xiwu knew what he wanted to ask.
But it was more important to help Youyou find her toys now. She handed the bowl in her hand to Pei Jingzhou. “Stir this. I have to use it later.”
Pei Jingzhou subconsciously caught the glass bowl. At that moment, Li Xiwu
had already broken free from his hand and walked towards Youvou.
“Did you put Tyler here just now?” Li Xiwu walked over and squatted down in front of Youyou.
Youyou pointed there. “It’s there.”
Li Xiwu looked in the direction Youyou was pointing. There was only one arm left on the ground. She thought about how Pei Jingzhou and He Wang had just returned and must have stepped on Ultraman. However, where was Ultraman with his broken arm? She comforted Youyou first. “It’s okay. I’ll go look for it.
I’ll definitely find it.”
Youyou nodded obediently. “Mm, mrn”
Li Xiwu stood up and walked towards Pei Jingzhou. “When you came in just now, did you see…”
Halfway through her sentence, Li Xiwu’s gaze landed on the Ultraman in He Wang’s hand. He Wang also sensed Li Xiwu’s gaze and was looking at the toy in his hand. He slowly raised his hand. “Uh, it can’t be this, right?”
“It’s my Tyler.” Youyou also saw the Ultraman in He Wang’s hand. She ran over happily and stood on tiptoe to reach out. “Give it to me, my Tyler.”
He Wang smiled and handed the Ultraman to Youyou.
“This child is so cute,” He Wang said sincerely.
Youyou hugged the Ultraman she had just brought back. She was filled with joy for less than three seconds when suddenly, a huge shock appeared on her small face.
Youyou turned around and walked towards Li Xiwu. She raised the Ultraman in her hand. “Look.”
Li Xiwu saw it.
From the moment she saw Ultraman’s broken arm, she guessed that it must have been trampled by Pei Jingzhou and He Wang. She had already thought of how to coax Youyou.
But now, Youyou was carrying the trampled Ultraman and holding it up for her to see. Her aggrieved expression made Li Xiwu think of how to coax her. For a moment, she was stuck and did not know how to say it.
She knelt down and took the trampled Ultraman. “This…”
Youyou accused He Wang aggrievedly, “It’s him!”
After being pointed at by Youyou, He Wang immediately felt guilty and wanted to escape. Oh no, he seemed to have done something wrong.
Li Xiwu also looked up at He Wang.
He Wang said slowly, “Uh, shouldn’t I do something?”
Li Xiwu thought for a moment. “Then apologize.”
He Wang immediately said to Youyou, “Sorry, child.”
Youyou looked away. “Hmph.”
He Wang:
As expected, children were more stubborn. The word ‘sorry’ usually did not seem to work. He Wang had never coaxed a child before. Looking at the little girl’s aggrieved expression, he was even more anxious than the little girl.
He looked at Pei Jingzhou for help. “Fourth Brother…”
Pei Jingzhou was expressionless. He still did not understand why this little girl was here.
However, Li Xiwu’s “mine” made him think deeply about the true meaning of this word.
“Fourth Brother, don’t just stand there. It’s a life-saving moment.” He Wang walked towards Pei Jingzhou and took the glass bowl from his hand. He stuffed the Ultraman with a broken arm to Pei Jingzhou. “I’ll stir it. Hurry up and think of a solution. That aggrieved gaze makes my heart break.”
Pei Jingzhou glanced at him speechlessly. He turned around with the toy in his hand. Seeing that Li Xiwu was also looking at him, he asked in a low voice, “What’s her name?
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. “Fourth Brother, you forgot so quickly?”
“I haven’t forgotten,” Pei Jingzhou said. “Let me confirm.”
Li Xiwu said, “Youyou.”
Pei Jingzhou was too familiar with this name. After the pleasure boat returned, Li Xiwu had whispered it in his ear several times. She even said that if only she had a cute daughter like Youyou.
He could not describe his feelings at this moment… They were more complicated than puzzled. But now was not the time to ask Li Xiwu clearly. Holding the broken Ultraman, he squatted down in front of Youyou and called out tentatively, “Youyou?
Youyou pouted and looked at Pei Jingzhou. Because she had seen him before, Youyou was not unfamiliar with Pei Jingzhou and was not guarded at all..
