Chapter 1911: Little brat, you still want to fight with Mom?
Returning to the room, Li Xueer went to the guest bedroom; she still did not want to sleep in the same bed as him.
Zichen suddenly said, "There is nothing going on between her and me; are you jealous?"
Li Xueer:...
Of course she was.
But she would not admit it.
She denied it: "I am not jealous at all."
"It's no use denying it; one can tell at a glance that that's exactly how it is."
"I'm not."
"You are."
"I am not."
Li Xueer was puffed up with anger, and the way she bickered with him made him feel she was especially cute, so he suddenly grabbed her and kissed her.
She widened her eyes in shock; what was this situation?
If he couldn't win an argument, he would just kiss her?
She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't break free.
"Sheng Zichen, don't go too far; it's daytime right now."
"Don't worry, no one will enter our room without knocking..."
Before his words had even faded, the door was pushed open with a "Bang!" and Yueyue walked in happily, holding a gift: "Sister-in-law... I'm sorry! I didn't see anything."
She hurriedly covered her eyes and went back out.
Li Xueer pushed Sheng Zichen away and straightened her clothes.
Fortunately, nothing had happened yet, but this was embarrassing enough, wasn't it?
"It's all your fault."
Zichen also felt a bit embarrassed, but this really wasn't his fault.
In the past, Yueyue would knock when entering others' rooms; she was very polite. Who knew she would suddenly walk in without knocking.
"Fine, it's all my fault; I apologize to you."
With such an interlude, it was clearly not suitable to continue doing anything.
At dinner time, the house was very lively.
There were over a dozen people, both big and small.
Shi Ran's family of five and Litian's family of three had all returned, and adding the eight people in the house, there were sixteen people in total; the large table was almost full.
Shi Youxuan looked at her family with a smile and said to her husband, "It's time to change to a bigger table; it won't be long before our family adds more people."
Zihan was not there.
By common logic, at such a lively time, Zihan should not be absent.
He usually liked joining in the fun the most and would never miss any opportunity for everyone to gather together.
Zihan was not there because he had gone to the Tian family; everyone had quickly noticed that he was almost never seen at home during this period.
Shi Ran asked, "Mom, why isn't Zihan here? I'll call him."
Shi Youxuan stopped her: "Don't call; he has gone to attend to serious business. You just need to prepare the red envelope; I estimate it won't be long before Zihan returns with his family in tow."
Shi Ran was very happy: "There's progress? Didn't you say the makeup didn't work? I really didn't expect progress to be this fast."
At the dinner table, the subsequent topics were all about Zihan.
Adding new family members was always a happy thing, and everyone was so focused on Zihan that no one paid attention to the matter of Sheng Zichen and Li Xueer going on their "honeymoon."
Li Xueer secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this was not bad. Originally, she had been worried about what to say if she were asked, but now she didn't need to worry.
The next day.
Li Xueer woke up with her whole body aching.
Last night she had slept in the guest bedroom, but Sheng Zichen had gone over there too...
This bastard, he had been insatiable last night, yet he was full of energy this morning, waking up earlier than her.
There was no sign of him on the bed; at this time, he should have gone running. The children of the Sheng Family all took after Sheng Hanyu in this regard: waking up early for morning exercises and running.
Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, the children rarely got sick.
Li Xueer got up, finished washing, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Seeing her mother-in-law preparing gifts, she asked casually, "Are you sending these to Yuanyuan's house? Is it convenient for me to accompany you?"
Zihan's pair of fraternal twins were rumored to be very cute, praised by everyone who saw them.
But she had only heard of them and had not yet seen them.
Li Xueer liked children very much; they were adorable and especially cute.
She had long wanted to go see them, but since Zihan hadn't yet won Yuanyuan over, she couldn't rashly go over to see the children.
Shi Youxuan smiled and said, "Silly child, if you like children so much, have one yourself. You see me preparing gifts and think they are for the children; these are prepared for you. Since you've returned from abroad, go back to your maiden home to visit and tell your father about what you saw and heard while away."
Li Xueer:...
Right, how could she have forgotten this.
In fact, for the past half-month, she had been at her maiden home, but her mother-in-law thought she had gone abroad.
She couldn't tell the truth, so after thanking her, Li Xueer took the gifts and prepared to return to her maiden home.
Zichen drove her back; when they reached the street corner, they got out of the car, and Zichen followed her down.
"Don't you have to go to work?"
"I'm not going to work; I'm the boss, so I have the final say. If I want to go, I go; if I don't want to, I don't."
Li Xueer:...
That's right, he was telling the truth, but this was the first time she had seen Zichen be so "unambitious," and she wasn't quite used to it.
The two returned to her parents' home, and Lao Litou looked at his son-in-law as if he had found his backbone; while Li Xue was busy cooking in the kitchen, he pulled Zichen aside and told him everything about how the daughter's biological parents had shown up at their door.
Lao Litou was deeply worried; he felt his daughter was too pitiful.
From childhood to adulthood, she hadn't been like others who had a mom and dad, and just when she finally had them, they turned out to be that kind of people!
Zichen promised that no matter what Li Xueer's background was, he wouldn't care, and furthermore, he only recognized Lao Litou as his father-in-law; he would not acknowledge anyone else.
On this point, his attitude was the same as Li Xueer's.
After returning from her father's house, Li Xueer clearly felt that Zichen's attitude toward her had changed.
He was always finding opportunities to be with her and even suggested that the two of them go out alone to eat and watch a movie.
"Are you okay?" Her face was full of wariness.
"I'm fine, I just want to go out for a walk with you."
Shi Youxuan also chimed in from the side: "Go, go, it's better for a young couple to go out and stroll around more."
Yueyue wanted to go along too.
But she was stopped by her mother: "Don't go, stay home and do your homework; I'll take you on the weekend."
"Really? If you don't keep your word..."
"Then you'll just have to deal with it."
Shi Youxuan glared at her: "You're getting more and more troublesome; you're already an elementary school student, your grades aren't great, and all you think about all day is going out to play. Others are going to the movie theater, and you want to go too—why don't you just fly to the sky?"
"When your older brother and sister were in school, they were both top students; only you are a slacker. If this continues, I won't attend your end-of-term parent-teacher meeting..."
Yueyue talked back: "You don't have to go, I'll have Dad go."
Shi Youxuan:...
Sheng Hanyu was a daughter-doting father; he held everyone else to high standards and strict requirements, but he spoiled his youngest daughter Yueyue beyond reason.
If it weren't for his pampering, Yueyue's grades probably wouldn't be this poor.
Being favored made her fearless, and Shi Youxuan was at a loss for what to do with her.
"Fine, let your dad go to your parent-teacher meeting, and you can just go to your dad for everything. I'm going to L Country and I won't take you either..."
Yueyue immediately softened: "Mom, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. You are magnanimous and won't hold it against a little kid like me. When you go to L Country, take me with you..."
"We'll see, I'll consider it, depending on your behavior."
"I'm going to do my homework!"
