Her tone was light as if her words weren’t anything important . As she spoke, her face displayed a helpless smile .
“Say no more . ” Ou Ming stroked her hair gently . “It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow . What are your plans?”
“I’ll probably draw at home . ” Yu Lili laughed . “I don’t have anywhere to go anyway . Other than the three years that I was with you, I usually worked part-time on New Year’s Eve every year . Now that I don’t have to do that, I would like to sleep in for once before starting work . ”
“We’re ringing in the New Year tomorrow . Don’t go to work . I’ll take you out to have fun . ”
“When?”
“Now . ” Ou Ming propped her up . “I’ll take you to Second Brother’s villa to have fun . ”
“Is there anything fun to do at their place?”
“Yes . They have three little kids . ”
Yu Lili was speechless .
His idea of fun was playing with little kids?
“The Dummy Challenge begins now!”
Upon hearing this, Li Jianqian and Li Mosen immediately froze .
Suddenly, the doorbell rang .
Ding, dong!
It was New Year’s Eve tomorrow, and Nanny Rong had gone on leave .
Su Qianci was reading in his study . When she heard the chime, she yelled, “Dasu! Answer the door!”
But there was no reply .
Ding, dong!
Ding, dong!
The doorbell rang again twice in succession . Su Qianci closed her book and headed out . When she got out, she saw the three kids all frozen in various weird postures .
Li Jianyue was sitting on the couch hugging her doll—the most normal posture out of the three . As for the other two, Li Jianqian’s posture was frozen mid-stride while running, and Li Mosen’s eyes and mouth were wide-open as if mid-speech . Li Mosen didn’t even blink .
One look at them and Su Qianci knew that they were in the midst of one of their crazy games . She ignored them and went to answer the door . Through the intercom camera, she saw that it was Yu Lili and Ou Ming .
Su Qianci was surprised, but she opened the door nonetheless and invited them in .
Yu Lili felt a sense of warmth seeing Su Qianci . The moment she stepped in, she gave Su Qianci a big hug . Su Qianci stood frozen in shock and looked at Ou Ming, but all she saw was Ou Ming biting back a smile and asking, “Is Second Brother around?”
“He’s not back yet . Come on in . ” Su Qianci pushed the door wide open and patted Yu Lili on her back . “What happened?”
“Everything’s fine!” Yu Lili’s smile shone brilliantly . “Where are the kids?”
“Dasu, Ersu, Mosen, stop playing! There are guests here!”
Upon hearing Su Qianci’s words, Li Jianqian took in a deep breath while Li Mosen relaxed and planted his butt right on the floor .
“That was so tiring!” Li Mosen exclaimed, but he stood up almost immediately and greeted, “Hello, Uncle . Hello, Auntie . ”
As Li Mosen was of mixed-blood, he had blue eyes and fair skin, and stood out from the other two children . But he was extremely good-looking and resembled a doll .
Yu Lili’s heart bubbled with excitement, and she stepped forward to pat Li Mosen’s head in greeting . “Hello . ”
Li Jianqian hollered, “Uncle Ou Ming, you’re here! What would you like to drink?”
Li Jianyue came down from the couch, calling out along the way, “Hello, Auntie Lili . Hello, Uncle Ou Ming!”
Her voice was sweet like honey and very endearing .
Hearing the children greet them this way cheered Yu Lili up, and she returned their smiles .
“Hello to all of you . ”
