When Li Sicheng heard that, he turned his head and gave Ou Ming a look .
The look was icy and as it swept over Ou Ming, and it weakened the smile on his face . Ou Ming cleared his throat and stated, “Your parenting isn’t too bad . It fosters familial closeness!”
Li Sicheng looked away and lowered his voice, “Well said . ” Turning his attention to his daughter, he said, “Little one, I’m already a grown up . I’m different from you . ”
“You are different . Daddy, you’re a grown-up, but you’re still acting like a little child . You’re not mature at all!” Li Jianyue pouted and continued, “You can’t be like that!”
Li Sicheng stopped smiling and twisted her nose lightly . “Go have some dessert with your brothers . Let Daddy talk to Uncle . ”
“Can’t I eat here?” Li Jianyue gave Li Sicheng a doe-eyed look .
“Sure . Eat here, then . ” Yu Lili waved her hands and called out, “Qianqian! Let me help you serve the food . ”
“Great . ” Su Qianci nodded her head . She put the bowl of sweet soup on the table and proceeded to dish them out into smaller bowls for the children .
Li Sicheng looked towards Ou Ming and asked, “You were looking for me?”
“Not exactly . I just wanted to bring Yu Lili to meet the children . ” Ou Ming looked at the little girl seated beside Li Sicheng . “Your daughter isn’t like you at all . ”
Li Jianyue looked like Su Qianci, but her character was completely different from Li Sicheng, and she had an extremely glib tongue .
It would be pretty good to have a daughter .
Ou Ming started to piece together Yu Lili’s features and his in his mind . If her character took after Yu Lili’s, he’d be finished . There’s no way he’d be able to manage two princesses .
Perhaps it would be better to have a son instead . Second Brother’s sons were well behaved; they weren’t mischievous, and they were smart .
As he thought about it, he looked towards Yu Lili . Yu Lili was biting back a smile, and she looked back at Ou Ming at the same time .
Ou Ming chuckled and asked, “Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve . What are your plans?”
“What other plans can we have? We’ll take the kids back to our parents’ and welcome in the New Year together . ” Li Sicheng took a small bowl of sweet soup from Si Qianci, and he tested the temperature with his own lips before feeding it to his daughter .
“Be careful, it’s hot . Eat it slowly,” he warned .
“Okay!” Li Jianyue held the bowl in both hands and started drooling at the sight of the sweet soup .
Li Jianqian and Li Mosen wanted a share too, and they eyed Li Jianyue’s bowl eagerly .
This was just how this family was . Whatever was delicious, and fun was given to the mother and daughter first, followed by the two boys, and lastly the father .
When they observed Li Jianyue digging in, the two boys looked pleadingly over at Su Qianci .
“Have the both of you finished your homework yet?” Li Sicheng questioned them .
“Yes!” Li Jianqian and Li Mosen answered in unison . With that, they both ran up the stairs to their room .
Su Qianci was alarmed and shouted after them, “Be careful! Don’t fall!”
“We won’t!” Li Jianqian replied, and the both of them disappeared upstairs .
Ou Ming witnessed the behavior of the two boys and gave Li Sicheng a big thumbs-up .
Yu Lili then commented, “You’re being too obvious in favoring the daughter over the sons! Being a daughter in your family is so awesome!”
It wasn’t just Ou Ming and Yu Lili who felt that way . Even Su Qianci agreed that Li Sicheng favored his daughter too much over his sons, and protested, “Don’t spoil her too much! Otherwise, what’s going to happen in the future?”
