Chapter 1897: Setting Out

"Not only that, I also said you were the one I picked up," Li Hao said with a smile.

"Wow, you even lied to me?" Li Xiaohao's eyes widened, looking especially cute.

"Back then, there weren't so many rules, so I gave you the name Xiaohao," Li Hao said with a smile. "Now that you've grown up, shouldn't you give it back?"

"I still think this name is great. I like it," Li Xiaohao said, pouting.

"You should change it," Li Hao said, patting his small head. "I don't want to see you become a lonely person in the future, especially since you still have to take care of Mom and Dad."

As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, he saw Li Mengqi's face darken. She glared coldly at Li Hao and said, "Hao, what nonsense are you talking? You are forever responsible for me and the child. How can you say I'll be a lonely person? You bastard!"

"I..." Li Hao was stunned by Li Mengqi's scolding; he had no idea what he had said wrong.

Seeing Li Hao silent, Li Mengqi pinched Li Hao hard, and Li Hao cried out in pain.

Li Mengqi let go, then with red-rimmed eyes, turned and ran away.

Li Hao was utterly baffled; which sentence of his had made her angry? Why did she explode for no reason?

He thought for a long time, and suddenly a flash of insight struck him. Could it be because of the child's name? Was she jealous?

Li Hao gave a bitter smile, then walked into the room to coax Li Xiaohao.

"Brother Hao, hurry up and coax Mom," Li Xiaohao urged, pushing Li Hao. Then he pointed outside and said, "Look how sadly Mom is crying."

"Alright, then I'll go comfort her," Li Hao said.
