Chapter 863

Ugh~ I can't remember clearly, I shouldn't have remembered wrong, right?

But to think he actually prepared a portion for her. Thinking of this, Wumian stopped complaining about her dissatisfaction with Fang Yang in her heart. After all, she couldn't eat her fill and then scold the cook...

No, it should be scolding while eating.

Wumian got up and sat in front of the egg fried rice. Just as she sat down, Fang Yang got up and left.

"Hmm?"

Wumian looked over curiously and found that Fang Yang had already finished eating.

Her heart was even more shocked. My goodness, what kind of abyss mouth are you! You finished so fast!

1180. This taste? Dad's taste? (Seeking full subscription)

Surprise is surprise, Wumian still had to eat. She could only twitch her mouth and pick up the spoon to take a shallow taste.

"This, this taste..."

Clang~

Wumian's fingers loosened, and the metal spoon slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

"Such, such a familiar taste."

Wumian lowered her head to look at this egg fried rice. It looked plain, without anything outstanding, but this taste was very familiar, as if she had eaten it a long time ago.

"Dad?"

Wumian whispered, more certain that this taste was the taste her father used to make.

Wumian slowly picked up the spoon from the ground and ate the egg fried rice in front of her bite by bite until it was clean.

"Wuwuwu, Sister Hui, you must wait for me!"

Li Wuyou said to Li Hui with a tearful face from the car window.

"Alright, alright, Wuyou, you must study hard."

Li Hui waved with a smile, watching the car drive away.

Almost the moment the car was out of sight, Li Hui's expression sank instantly.

"Sigh, it really is, not so easy to leave."

Li Hui turned around and walked slowly toward the house behind her.

With every step she took, Li Hui knew that since they hadn't let her leave by now, it probably wouldn't be easy to leave.

"Wuyou left?"

At the table, Li Zimu was calmly reading a book. Li Zimu hadn't gone to see Li Wuyou off just now; it was Li Hui who had seen her off, and he had other things to do.

"Yes, the Young Lady has already left."

"Hmm."

Li Zimu nodded, indicating he knew.

Time passed gradually, and there was only the occasional sound of turning pages in the room.

Li Hui was still bent over, in the same posture as when she had just reported.

Without Li Zimu's permission, Li Hui absolutely dared not stand up.

Knock knock~

"Dad."

A cold voice sounded from outside the door, and upon hearing this voice, Li Zimu finally raised his head.

"Come in. Hmm? Why are you still here?"

Li Zimu was slightly surprised, as if he had just seen Li Hui.

Creak~

A figure pushed the door open and entered the room.

"Young Master."

Li Hui immediately greeted him, but all she got was a vague response.

"Hmm."

Li Hui made way for the man, then retreated softly, not forgetting to close the door.

"You're back?"

"Yes, where's my sister? Has she already left?"

"Hmph, you came back so late, she's probably already at school by now. Wunian, your sister hasn't mentioned you at all in the two days she's been back."

Li Zimu turned his gaze back to the book and continued reading.

"Oh my, I wanted to come back earlier, but something unexpected came up."

Li Wunian sighed, feeling helpless. He also wanted to come back earlier, but there were really many things at the university, and he was indeed delayed by sudden events.

"By the way, why did she come back? Didn't she run away before?"

Li Wunian's expression turned serious, as if wanting to skip the previous topic.

"Her? Hmph, thinking that by grasping the Chu family's young lady she could come and go as she pleased, truly, wishful thinking."

Li Zimu slammed the book heavily on the table, his face full of sarcasm for Li Hui's cleverness.

"Chu? I didn't expect this matter to have anything to do with that family's little girl. However, she probably overestimated the Chu family's strength."

Li Wunian chuckled. What she knew was only what they wanted her to know. As for the core and secrets, Li Hui could be said to know nothing at all. In this way, how could Li Hui escape their control?

1181. Looking for someone? What is my status? (Seeking full subscription)

"Don't worry about her, she's just being clever."

Li Zimu picked up the book again to read, his tone full of mockery for Li Hui.

"Then, does my sister know?"

Li Wunian looked outside the door, his tone filled with worry.

"Of course she doesn't know. Just last night, she even went to find Li Hui to play for the whole night."

Hearing Li Zimu say this, Li Wunian breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. Li Wuyou is still young and indeed not suitable to know these things.

"Then how do you plan to deal with her?"

Hearing this, Li Zimu's brows furrowed, feeling very irritable.

"Sigh, I'm thinking about this problem. She's still useful now, so I can't be too harsh, but if the lesson is too light, I'm worried she won't remember."

Looking at Li Zimu's irritable appearance, Li Wunian was thoughtful.

"Dad, since that's the case, why not find another adopted son and say he was studying abroad earlier, which is why he didn't appear in the public eye?"

Seeing his son speak so easily, Li Zimu only felt it was funny. It wasn't that easy to find someone. He needed someone who could carry the banner, at least on the surface.

"Looking for someone? What is my status? One could say people fear seeing me, let alone when I need him to come forward, there are many people with similar status. If he were scared into wetting his pants easily, that would be too embarrassing."

Li Zimu shook his head. It wasn't easy to find someone who met the criteria...

Wait, it seems I saw one yesterday. What was his name again?

Oh, it seems I didn't say it, but he should still be there, right?

Seeing Li Zimu spacing out and thinking, Li Wunian was curious. Could it be that there really was a candidate?

"Oh? Someone around her? Could it be a helper she found?"

It wasn't Li Wunian's fault for thinking too much; the key was that someone suddenly appeared around Li Hui, and anyone would think it was abnormal.

"So what? As long as the stake I offer is high enough, I'm not afraid that kid won't take the bait. Besides, if I take that kid in, I believe it will make Li Hui more obedient."

Li Zimu smiled slightly. Nothing was more exciting than breaking a person's conviction.

"Since Dad has his own ideas, then I'm relieved."

The two talked again until late at night before leaving.

"Sigh, the food here is really, hard to describe."

Li Hui looked at the food delivered, her brows slightly furrowed.

Was this intentional? How could it be made so unpalatable? It was simply wasting food.

Thinking of this, Li Hui couldn't help but think of Fang Yang's cooking. That taste was simply pleasing to the mood.

"Sigh, sure enough, there's no harm without comparison. This is simply not food for humans."

Li Hui held her forehead. She couldn't eat it at all, and besides, why hadn't she noticed it was so unpalatable before?

Li Zimu, Li Wunian: Achoo~ Who! Who is scolding me!

"Young Lady, she still hasn't returned."

At night, Wumian stood in front of the door, staring blankly at the darkness ahead.

"So what? Haah~ What could happen? Besides, Sister, no, wait, Little Sister, it's time for us to go back to sleep, right?" ===== CHAPTER 864 =====
