The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1264
Chapter 1264: Three Children
The Yuxiu Villa Estate was famous in Kingstown. Only the rich and wealthy could live there.
Li Sicheng had bought a villa there long ago and moved in with his family. For a while after that, he had moved back to the old manor for a period of time. Not long after, he moved back to his home in Yuxiu Villa Estate.
Su Qianci was in the seating room with the children teaching them to recite traditional poetry. The three children listened happily. In small voices, they recited the poetry back to her.
Nanny Rong stood to the side watching them with a content smile on her face.
Ding! Dong!
The doorbell rang. The children all looked over in curiosity.
Li Jianyue stood up immediately and called out, “Mommy, I’ll open the door!”
The smile on Nanny Rong’s face deepened as she pressed the little kid back down and said, “I’ll go. You can stay seated.”
Li Jianyue sat back down and replied, “Thank you, Nanny Rong!”
“You’re welcome,” Nanny Rong said. “Ersu has to learn her poetry well!”
“Yes!” Li Jianyue enthusiastically replied.
Nanny Rong looked through the peephole and saw the visitor was Ou Ming. She quickly opened the door in surprise and called out, “Madam, Mr. Ou is here.”
Ou Ming and Yu Lili were holding hands. When the both of them stepped in together, the looks on the children’s faces brightened.
Li Jianyue got up immediately and ran over to Ou Ming, yelling, “Uncle Ou!”
Ou Ming crouched down laughingly and reached his hands out toward Li Jianyue to catch her. She came to a stop just shy of Ou Ming’s reach. Hesitant to go forward and further, she looked at Ou Ming’s hand and asked, “Uncle, is your hand alright?”
Ou Ming smiled and gently pinched the kid’s round cheeks as he replied, “It’s not completely recovered yet, but it will soon be!”
Li Jianyue nodded her head and blinked her round eyes as she said, “Uncle, you must get well soon. Auntie, you’re here too!” With that, she went up to Yu Lili in laughter and held on to Yu Lili’s hand. She glimpsed at the ring on Yu Lili’s finger and yelled out, “Auntie’s ring is so pretty!”
Yu Lili burst out in a wide grin as she crouched down and answered, “Thank you, Ersu.”
Li Jianyue laughingly pulled Yu Lili to the couch, calling out as she went along, “Mom, Older Brother, come over quickly!”
Su Qianci could tell from a mile away that her daughter’s sudden hospitality was borne from the desire to escape her poetry recitation. She shook her head in good humor and replied, “Go, call your Dad over.”
“OK!” The smile on Li Jianyue’s face widened. The frills on her new pink dress bounced along as she ran and hollered in her tender and sweet voice, “Daddy! Daddy!”
As the little girl’s voice faded in the distance, Li Mosen and Li Jianqian ran into the kitchen together.
Nanny Rong was in the midst of brewing tea for the guests. When she saw the two boys run in, she couldn’t refrain from laughing and asked, “What are the two of you up to?”
Li Jianqian stepped forward and replied, “Nanny Rong, pass the tea to me. I’ll bring it out to serve the guests.”
At the same time, Li Mosen replied, “I’ll serve the guests the snacks.”
Nanny Rong arranged the tea set, but she didn’t hand it to Li Jianyue. She passed it to Li Mosen instead and said, “Young Master Mosen is older. He’ll be more careful. Young Master Jianyue, why don’t you take the snacks out instead?”
Li Jianyue was a little disappointed, but he nodded his head nevertheless, “OK.”
It wasn’t very long after Ou Ming and Yu Lili had sat down that they heard a young little voice drift over.
“When will Mommy take us out to play? I don’t want to stay home all day reciting poetry. It’s not fun at all! Daddy, will you convince Mommy for us, please?”
