Chapter 35 Misunderstanding My Meaning

And with that, the adults gulped down their entire glasses of wine in one shot. Xiao He took into account that Wang Li still had to drive tonight, so when he poured the wine, he had poured Wang Li a little less.

Although the few of them saw it, they didn’t say anything

Only Li Ping had a regretful expression as she thought to herself, ‘What a great opportunity missed. Taking advantage of Wang Li drinking and not being able to drive, thus having her stay the night might improve the relationship between her and Old Xiao.’

However, she was only thinking about it in her head. This kind of thing still depended on what the couple in question wanted. It was better to take things one step at the time.

Lin Xi saw the adults clinking glasses, so she raised her glass of fruit juice and patted Xiao Yun’s arm too, indicating him to raise his as well.

Xiao Yun took a look and instantly understood. So he also raised the glass in his hand and clinked it with Lin Xi. Only then did Lin Xi drink with satisfaction.

The group were eating when Li Ping suddenly said, “Oh right, Xi Xi, your father and I went totown today to show check out the dance class. Tomorrow is the weekend. I’ll bring you there to take a look.”

Lin Xi was still burying her head in her food when she heard this. She instantly raised her head, blinked her big eyes at Lin Feiyang, and asked, “Is it true, Dad?”

Lin Feiyang picked up some food for Lin Xi and nodded to show that it was true.

“Hey, why don’t you believe me? When have I ever lied to you?” Li Ping pretended to be angry at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi immediately showed a fawning smile and hugged Li Ping’s arm as she shook it continuously. “How can that be? Xi Xi loves Mommy the most, of course I believe Mommy.”

As she spoke, she climbed onto the chair and stood up. Then, she hugged Li Ping’s head and gave her a heavy kiss on the cheek.

“You’re such a sly one,” said Lin Feiyang from the side.

Lin Xi mischievously stuck out her tongue when she heard this. Li Ping held onto her daughter and let her sit down on the chair before continuing to eat.

The meal was very enjoyable and the dining table was filled with cheers.

After the meal, Xiao He and Lin Feiyang let Li Ping and Wang Li rest while the two men washed the dishes.

Li Ping did not refuse as she pulled Wang Li to sit on the sofa for a chat.

Suddenly, Wang Li remembered that she had not given the children what she had just bought, so she called Xiao Yun and Lin Xi over as she went to get the two bags of snacks over.

“Aunty doesn’t know what kind of snacks the two of you like to eat, so I just randomly bought some. Next time, you can tell Aunty in advance what you want to eat.” As Wang Li said this, she handed each of them a bag of snacks.

Even though Xiao Yun wasn’t interested in these snacks at all, he still accepted the snacks when Wang Li handed them over. After all, this was the first time Wang Li had given him a gift. He was afraid that rejecting it would hurt Wang Li’s heart, making her think that he did not like her.

After all, this kind of relationship was very sensitive. They might get along better in the future.

Besides, if he did not like to eat, he could just give them to Lin Xi, that little glutton.

Li Ping heard Wang Li and quickly said, “Gosh, Sister Wang Li. You don’t have to buy things for the children.”

Then she said to Xiao Yun and Lin Xi, “Quickly thank Aunty Wang Li.”

“It’s okay. It didn’t cost much. The two children like it anyway,” said Wang Li as she touched the heads of the two children.

“Go and play.”

Li Ping understood that Wang Li did all this to gain the approval of Xiao Yun and Xiao He, so she didn’t say anything more.

Anyway, she already thought highly of Wang Li and Xiao He.

After a while, Xiao Yun held Lin Xi’s hand and came over. “Aunt Li, can I go with you and Xi Xi to watch the dance class tomorrow?”

“Yes, you can, but what are you going to do?” asked Li Ping.

Xiao Yun patted his pocket and said very generously, “Didn’t I win money from the lottery? I want to go out and have some fun.”

The two adults were amused by Xiao Yun’s tone.

“How much did your father give you?” asked Li Ping with a smile.

Xiao Yun pursed his lips and said, “I had unfortunately made him become stingy and had to spend a lot of effort to get a thousand yuan from him. After a bit more convincing, he gave me an extra two hundred yuan.”

“Wow, Big Brother Xiao Yun, can you buy a lot of lollipops?” asked Lin Xi with envy as she tugged at Xiao Yun’s sleeve.

“Oh, you. You only know how to be greedy,” said Li Ping as she tapped Lin Xi’s head with her finger. At this time, the two people in the kitchen also finished their work and walked out.

“What about my greedy girl?” asked Lin Feiyang

Lin Xi ran over and hugged Lin Feiyang’s thigh. “Daddy, I want to eat lollipops.”

Lin Feiyang bent down and carried Lin Xi up to sit on the sofa. “Okay, if since Xi Xi wants to eat, then I will buy.”

Li Ping pinched Lin Feiyang. “Just let her be.”

“Oh right, Xiao Yun wants to go to town with me tomorrow. Will you be OK?” asked Li Ping as she turned around toward Xiao He.

Xiao He looked at Xiao Yun with a puzzled expression. “What are you going to town

for?”

“Of course, I have something to do,” Xiao Yun replied.

Xiao He did not continue to ask. He knew that Xiao Yun was a person who knew his own limits.

“But Li Ping, it’s not convenient for you to take the bus alone with the two children. Won’t you be tired?” Xiao He felt that it would be too hard for Li Ping to take care of the two children alone.

“That’s fine. Xiao Yun is quite sensible. He won’t be too tiring,” said Li Ping.

At this time, Wang Li, who had not spoken all this time, said, “It just so happens that I have nothing to do tomorrow. How about I drive over and pick you guys up?”

“Would that be too troublesome for you?” asked Xiao He.

Wang Li shook her head and said, “It’s not troublesome. Otherwise, I’ll just be at home. Plus, I will be able to go out shopping tomorrow. It’s a pretty good deal.”

Xiao He nodded and agreed, “Alright. Then I’ll trouble you tomorrow. I’ll treat you to a meal when I have time.”

Li Ping looked at the two of them with an ambiguous expression. Wouldn’t this mean that they would have more contact with each other? Wang Li did not refuse. Of course, she would not waste such a good opportunity, so she smiled and said, “Okay, then I’ll be waiting, my partner.”

Very cleverly, the atmosphere in the room became lively again. After chatting for a while, Xiao He asked Wang Li, “Do you want to go home now?” Lin Feiyang heard this and was so angry that he slapped Xiao He on the back.

Even Xiao Yun looked at Xiao He with an expression that said, “You’re hopeless.”

Xiao He cried out in his heart. He also knew that what he had said just now might have been inappropriate and make Wang Li misunderstand, so he said, “I don’t mean to chase you away. Look, it’s already dark outside, and you have to drive back alone. I’m afraid that the road isn’t safe.”
