The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1077
Chapter 1077: Our children in future
“Have a seat. I’ll cut some fruit for you,” said Su Qianci and she looked towards Li Jianqian. “Dasu, get some fruit for your uncle and aunt.”
“Alright!” came Li Jianqian’s immediate reply, but Li Jianyue quickly interrupted him. “Mommy, I’ll get it!”
Su Qianci saw how eager she looked and smiled indulgently in agreement. “Alright. Go on, then.”
Li Jianyue happily put her doll down and trotted to the kitchen with her short legs, her pajama skirt billowing behind her.
She routinely moved a stool with ease and climbed up to retrieve two cups and a serving tray from the kitchen cabinet.
After arranging the cups, she carried her stool to the fridge and tiptoed to open the fridge door with all the might she could muster. She pulled out a bottle of fruit juice and hugged it with her little arms as she made her way to the table with the cups. Only after she plunked the juice bottle on the table did she carry her stool back to its original place.
It was with much effort that Li Jianyue finally poured the two glasses of fruit juice. After balancing the tray as if her life depended on it, she made her way to the sitting room. Throughout the journey, her big round eyes were fixed on the two cups of juice in fear of spilling it.
It took a long while before she finally reached her destination. Seeing that her two cups of juice were safe and sound, she gave a sigh of relief and announced giddily, “Uncle and Auntie, please have some juice!”
Yu Lili’s heart had completely melted. Lifting up both cups of juice, she placed one in front of Ou Ming and kept the other in her hand. “Thank you, Ersu.”
“Don’t mention it, Auntie!” Li Jianyue grinned widely. Dancing with the tray in her hand, she ran back into the kitchen and excitedly proclaimed, “Mommy, I poured it! Auntie even thanked me!”
As her short little legs thumped against the floor, her pajama skirt bounced along. Coupled with her laughter, she brought a very comforting feeling to everyone who saw her.
Yu Lili witnessed the way Li Jianyue ran and felt a tinge of envy. She took a sip of the juice, and her eyes had a faraway look in them.
Li Jianqian and Li Mosen both brought a Rubik’s cube out and ran to Ou Ming’s side. “Uncle Ou Ming, look! I learned how to solve this! Mosen did too!”
“How impressive!” Ou Ming commended them and reached over for the Rubik’s cube. “Let me test you, then.”
“Yeah!” Li Jianqian got excited when he heard that and nodded his head. “I asked Daddy to buy me a really complicated toy. Mosen knows how to play with it, but I still don’t. I’ll go get it!” With that, he ran off and disappeared inside.
Ou Ming chuckled in amusement as he saw how the little boy was so eager to show off, and then he realized that the kid really resembled Li Sicheng in his childhood. However, as Li Sicheng grew older, he’d become more introverted and calmer.
Li Mosen sat quietly in a corner and started on his Rubik’s cube the moment Ou Ming passed it to him.
As Yu Lili looked at Li Mosen manipulating the Rubik’s cube, she couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “I don’t even know how to play with this. Children these days are so smart!”
“It’s not all children that are this intelligent either.” Ou Ming looked up, his face hiding a smile. “Second Brother’s children are all especially intelligent.” He then looked at Yu Lili and commented, “Our children in future will be smart like them.”
Our children in future…
Yu Lili’s heart was still filled with uncertainty regarding their future. She was worlds apart from Ou Ming.
Could they really be together?
