Chapter 1863: Suddenly Becoming the Popular One

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi had no choice but to add: "I have already restored it for you."

"That wasn't a restoration, that was a re-download! And you even downloaded a novel library! Thousands of novels... how long is it going to take me to finish reading them!"

Li Moning was in such pain.

She was in such blissful pain!

Xie Wanyi, meanwhile, was very embarrassed.

As for Li Xingyan... he rolled his eyes.

Then, he cast a subtle glance at Wei Yangyang.

She had lost weight.

Was it from the exhaustion of her business trip?

Honestly, she couldn't even take care of herself; what a fool!

Li Xingyan was a little angry.

Yet he did not understand where this anger came from.

Jiang Motian's attention had been captured by Li Moning's words, so she did not see that look from her brother.

Instead, she summarized Li Moning's behavior: "You've got a bargain and are still acting coy."

"Oh, sister, you don't know my pain, really, I just hate that there are only twenty-four hours in a day!"

Li Moning tilted her chin up slightly.

Feeling the pain, yet happy!

Having figured out the cause and effect, Jiang Baobao smiled faintly.

Then she said: "Momo, there's no need to be in pain; Mom will buy you a new computer later, and I'll take this one."

"Uh, the old one still works, no need to buy a new one, it's a waste."

"Don't Mom and Dad earn so much money just to make sure you live happily? Since you're already in pain, this money must be spent."

"Mom..."

"Alright, it's settled."

Jiang Baobao's attitude allowed for no refusal.

This made Li Moning feel like she had played herself!

Wuwu, if only she had known, she wouldn't have put on such an act!

Li Moning turned her head to look at Xie Wanyi.

She dropped her previous affectation and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, can you download another novel library for me?"

"There is a novel library on the old computer; if you want to read them, just ask your aunt for it, no need to download another one."

Heh!

What a great way to pass the buck!

If Mom lets her read them, then why buy a new computer at all!

Li Moning felt her brother-in-law was being unreasonable!

At the same time, she was reflecting on herself.

Feeling... don't put on an act, or you'll end up splitting your crotch!

Li Moning looked like a frost-bitten eggplant, completely wilted.

Jiang Motian, however, found it quite funny.

It's just that...

Why did it feel like something was missing?

Jiang Motian scratched her hair, then noticed Xie Wanyi signaling her to look at Li Xingyan.

Look at Li Xingyan...

Oh!

Jiang Motian immediately reacted, realizing what she had overlooked!

She also realized that she had a mission today!

Fortunately, Jiang Motian hadn't missed too much.

After regrouping, Jiang Motian smiled and said to Jiang Baobao: "Mom, when are we eating? I'm already hungry."

"I'll go check the kitchen; once the soup is ready, we can start the meal."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she got up and went to the kitchen.

About fifteen minutes later, everyone went to the dining room.

Today, the table full of dishes was basically all prepared by Jiang Baobao.

Every dish was exquisite; just looking at them was a treat.

But Jiang Motian was not focused on enjoying the delicacies; instead, she was secretly observing Li Xingyan's reactions.

From her observations, Li Xingyan was no different than usual.

His expression remained indifferent, and he didn't seem particularly interested in everyone's conversation.

Yet, when the topic turned to him, he wouldn't let the atmosphere go cold.

In short, it was the typical mental state for a social occasion.

As for him and Wei Yangyang...

He acted as if Wei Yangyang didn't exist!

He didn't look at her, nor did he take the initiative to speak to her.

Wei Yangyang was even more focused on devouring her food.

They didn't really say much either.

Jiang Motian stared at Wei Yangyang for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Is it that delicious?"

"Yeah, the dishes Auntie made are truly delicious."

Wei Yangyang used her actions to prove that everything she said was true.

Jiang Baobao was even more beaming with joy and said, "Yangyang is so supportive; having you over as a guest makes all my hard work worth it."

Li Moning had also eaten quite a bit, and not wanting to be left out, she immediately claimed credit: "Mom, I'm very supportive too!"

"Then eat the celery you picked out first!"

Hmm...

Li Moning pretended to be deaf and didn't hear what her mother had just said.

To be honest, Li Moning had eaten quite a lot.

But the problem of being a picky eater did indeed exist.

When she encountered food she didn't like, she wouldn't even touch it.

Jiang Baobao often had a headache because of this.

Yet this time, Li Xingyan was actually speaking up for his picky younger sister: "Momo is fine like this; it saves her from eating too much, getting indigestion, and having a stomachache."

Although Li Xingyan helped speak for her, Li Moning didn't feel flattered at all.

She only felt that something was strange!

She was also worried that her brother would follow up with cold sarcasm.

But...

Li Xingyan turned the page on this matter as soon as he finished speaking.

It was as if he had just been purely speaking a word of justice for his little sister.

Jiang Motian, however, felt that her brother's actions weren't that simple.

Once you delved deeper into Li Xingyan's words, you would feel that he wasn't just simply speaking up for Momo.

It seemed like he was also implying something about someone.

And was he just simply implying something?

Could it be that he was using the implication as a roundabout way to remind someone not to eat too much?

The more Jiang Motian thought about it, the more uncertain she became.

She even looked at Xie Wanyi, wanting to seek an answer.

But just by looking...

She discovered that there was a lot of food in Xie Wanyi's bowl.

And Liu Xin'ai was still putting food into his bowl, while asking him what he usually liked to eat.

Xie Wanyi answered each question very politely.

Liu Xin'ai listened while smiling, her eyes filled with maternal love.

Hmm...

Why was there suddenly a sense of a "kind mother and filial son" scene?

After sizing things up like this, Jiang Motian got distracted.

Her gaze also involuntarily landed on Xie Wanyi and Liu Xin'ai.

After observing for a while, Jiang Motian discovered that it wasn't just Auntie Xin'ai who was enthusiastic toward Xie Wanyi; even Uncle Yiyan was the same.

What was going on? Had Wanyi become a popular favorite?

Jiang Motian always felt that something wasn't quite right.

After another while, Liu Xin'ai put down her chopsticks.

Then, she said very solemnly, "Actually, today, my husband and I have something we would like to ask for Wanyi's opinion on."

Hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon Xie Wanyi.

Jiang Motian was also looking at Xie Wanyi.

And while looking, she was also a little excited.

Because she had a premonition that the strangeness she had sensed was about to be revealed!

Liu Xin'ai was indeed announcing the answer: "Ever since I got to know this child Wanyi, I have felt a special affinity with him."

As she spoke, Liu Xin'ai looked at Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi met the elder's gaze and smiled at her.

He also liked this elder, Liu Xin'ai, from the bottom of his heart.

She was intelligent, kind-hearted, emotionally stable, and most importantly, she treated Xie Wanyi very well.

So well that sometimes Xie Wanyi would have hallucinations...

Amidst Xie Wanyi's faint smile, Liu Xin'ai continued: "After interacting for this period of time, I even feel like I am a mother taking care of her child..."

Liu Xin'ai paused for a moment.

She glanced at Qin Yiyan, and then, encouraged by her husband, Liu Xin'ai gathered her courage and said, "I wonder, Wanyi, would you be willing to become our adopted son?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
