Li Mengqi walked out of the hospital, saw that it was almost lunchtime, and called Qi Junhao.
Qi Junhao had just left the conference room and was talking to Zhang Chi. When he was about to leave the office, the phone in his pocket rang. The man's cold expression suddenly softened.
He raised his hand to indicate Zhang Chi to step down, then picked up the phone.
Very soon, a sweet female voice came over the radio: "Are you busy? Will I disturb you? "
"No, no matter how busy I am, I have to give my baby some time, right?"
Qi Junhao smirked as he entered the office, asking, "Where are we now?" Are we having lunch together? "
"Just got out of the hospital. Then what do you want to eat? I bought it for you and brought it over. "
He was still wounded, and Li Mengqi didn't want to let him go too far.
"Whatever, as long as it's something you bought."
"Very well. I should be arriving around 12: 30, I'll be driving, so let's not talk anymore! "
"Mm, be careful."
"Alright!"
After hanging up, Li Mengqi started the engine and left the hospital.
She was clear about Qi Junhao's taste, and he was in the healing stage, so she could only eat light food. Li Mengqi thought for a while, and finally decided to go to the Cantonese restaurant near BGH TV and help him pack some delicious food.
After about 10 minutes, she arrived at the Cantonese restaurant.
Just as he was about to turn the car into the parking lot, he saw a familiar car with sharp eyes. It was just a short distance in front of him.
Heavens, it's actually big brother?
How could it be so coincidental?
Li Mengqi was so scared that she almost honked her horn. Her small body trembled, and for a moment, she didn't know how to react.
Li Jianzhong did not notice her. He quickly drove the car away, parked it in the designated parking space, and walked in.
Seeing this, Li Mengqi could not help but secretly rejoice. Luckily she was a step later than her big brother, and she was driving an expensive Porsche. Otherwise, her big brother wouldn't have recognized her. Otherwise, things would have been miserable!
Thinking of this, she felt more and more that she shouldn't stay here any longer. Therefore, she decided not to buy any food and turned around to drive away.
After some torture, it was already close to one in the afternoon when Li Mengqi went to Qi Junhao's office.
"Why is it so late?"
Seeing her enter with two delicate boxes, Qi Junhao's tightly knitted eyebrows finally relaxed a little.
"Yes, it took some time."
Li Mengqi lightly answered and put the box on the coffee table in front of the sofa. After that, she laid herself on the sofa and comfortably stretched her back.
Qi Junhao closed the document he was signing, then walked over and sat down beside her.
"You don't look happy. Who's making you unhappy?"
The man raised his eyebrows. A hint of concern flashed across his eyes as he patted her thigh.
Li Mengqi waved his hand away and pouted, "Other than you, who else could it be? It's getting late, hurry up and eat. "
For him, she had taken a detour to another Cantonese restaurant, hoping that it would suit his taste.
Thinking of this, Li Mengqi hurriedly opened the box, took out a pair of chopsticks, and handed it to him, "It's still relatively light, don't mind it. Your injuries have not fully healed yet, so all you can do is eat this. "
Qi Junhao noticed the bitter gourd inside, and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes as he complained, "It's the bitter gourd again! host Li, this young master really suspects that I have offended you in some way? "
Only the heavens knew how much Qi Junhao hated bitter gourd creatures. Right, there was also carrots.
However, he had actually seen both of these things in a convenient box. Qi Junhao gritted his teeth. If anyone else dared to pack these food for him, he would definitely tell that person to scram!
Seeing that, Li Mengqi secretly laughed, opened another box, and gave it back to him, "Okay, I was just playing with you, the bitter melon and carrots are mine, this is yours. "Hmph, see how good I am to you!"
After she finished speaking, she pouted with a proud expression.
Qi Junhao reached out to pinch her little face, and a devilish look appeared on his face, "I am deeply honored by your love and love for me. In order to repay you, how about we repay you with our lives, eh?"
"Hmph, you will only take advantage of me!"
Li Mengqi picked up her chopsticks and gave him a knock, then urged him, "Hurry up and eat. It's already past lunchtime."
"Alright!"
Qi Junhao nodded, then picked up a piece of chicken and placed it next to her mouth, "Open your mouth. It's rare for me to want to feed you."
"Tsk, I don't want you to feed me anymore."
Li Mengqi snorted, her small mouth opened without a trace of politeness, and then clicked her tongue in praise, "The taste of tearing a chicken with this hand, it's really too good!"
"Heh, to a foodie like you, there doesn't seem to be anything that doesn't taste good."
Qi Junhao couldn't help but mock her.
"Isn't it good to be a foodie? If you have something to eat, you'll be satisfied. "
Li Mengqi shook her head and answered in a straightforward manner.
Qi Junhao hurriedly picked up another piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth, "Then eat some fat. I'll be satisfied with just holding it."
"Qi Junhao, are you treating me like a pig?"
"Pig, if he was as skinny as you, he would have cried to death long ago."
"You …"
The two of them bickered and forgot the time. It took them two whole hours to finish the meal.
There was still a high-level meeting to be held in the afternoon. Thus, after dinner, Qi Junhao did not linger for long, and he soon left the office.
Li Mengqi automatically walked to the lounge and laid on the bed. She wanted to take a nap, but found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fall asleep.
In his mind, the scene of him chatting with Dr. Yang in the hospital unknowingly flashed through his mind.
"Mr. Li, your body is doing very well. You usually don't have any infertility problems, so don't worry."
"But Doctor Yang …"
Although she was ashamed to admit it, Li Mengqi had always disapproved of doctors, so she could only blush and voice out the doubts in her heart.
Dr. Yang nodded in understanding, and then said kindly, "Perhaps the problem is with the other person. I suggest that, if you have time, you can ask him to come to the hospital for an examination. Now that science is so advanced, if there really is a problem, you still have a chance to cure it. "
Sigh!
Li Mengqi sighed heavily. She didn't have any problems with it. Could it be that Qi Junhao had a problem with it?
No, he was so fierce, he didn't seem like someone with a problem at all. Perhaps, it was like the old man had said, whether or not he had a child, it all depended on the will of the heavens, right?
When she thought of this, her heart finally eased up slightly.
Time flew. Soon, it was Saturday, Li Mengqi's birthday.
It was only because she had tried so hard to please Qi Junhao that the man had been overjoyed. He had agreed to let her spend her birthday with his family in B City.
Early in the morning, Li Mengqi decided to leave. Before she left, Qi Junhao reminded her, "Remember, you will only be staying for one night. Come back tomorrow morning."
"Got it."
Li Mengqi smiled to the point that her eyes curved. Her small hands gently adjusted the collar of his suit, then she tiptoed and gave him a slap on her face.
With a sudden kiss, the man was in a good mood. He hugged her waist and kissed her fiercely with his head lowered. He only let her go when she was exhausted.
"Alright, let's go."
Qi Junhao patted her delicate face, his eyes filled with gentleness.
If there hadn't been an emergency meeting, he would have personally sent her back.
"Well, I'll call you when I get there."
Li Mengqi nodded, picked up her bag, and reluctantly left the room.
After two hours, she arrived at City B. From afar, she could see Li Yunfan standing at the entrance, looking forward to what was happening.
Seeing this, a warm feeling ran through Li Mengqi's heart. After she parked the car, she quickly opened the door and ran towards him.
"Auntie!"
When the shota saw her, his eyes immediately lit up. "You're finally here."
"That's right, Fan has waited for too long, right?"
Li Mengqi smiled and bent down to pick him up. She kissed him on his cheek, and then put him down.
Li Yunfan playfully winked at her, "No, it's only right to wait for a beauty."
"Aiya, when I grow up, I'll definitely become an expert in chasing girls."
Li Mengqi rubbed his round head. Seeing that he was brimming with energy and didn't show any signs of losing weight, it seemed like her anorexia was better.
When she thought of this, the heavy burden in her heart was slightly put down.
The two of them held hands as they entered the room. They saw their grandfather sitting on the sofa in the living room as he talked on the phone.
Listening to his intimate tone and the occasional laughter, Li Mengqi thought to herself, could it be some old comrade-in-arms?
For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. However, he was unable to tell what it was.
Not long later, Old Man Li hung up the phone. Seeing his granddaughter come in, a trace of warmth soon appeared on his aged face. "You're back? Why did you go to New York without saying a word? "
Li Mengqi smiled faintly, and hugged Li Yunfan as he sat down on the sofa beside Grandfather. He then very calmly recited the words that he had recited several times in his heart, "Since there's a quota for the unit to study at that Exchange Hall, I feel that this is a very good opportunity for us to pass. Grandfather, have you been well? "
Hearing her logical explanation, Old Man Li did not raise any doubts. He coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, your body is still strong and healthy. But you, you have aged one year today, so you have to hurry up on matters of life and death. Don't wait until your grandfather and I have died, and I still won't see the day of your marriage. "
The old man's words were said in a very serious and serious manner, causing Li Mengqi's heart to clench.
Her clear eyes quietly flashed with darkness as she lowered her head, quickly hiding the emotions that leaked out from her eyes. Then, she put on a heartless smile and said in a tender voice, "Grandfather, our granddaughter knows about this matter. Can you not ask this question every time we meet? If I meet a suitable candidate, I will definitely hurry up.
Upon seeing this, the little shota at the side shook her arm and said in an exceptionally serious tone, "Auntie, I have confidence in you. Do your best!"
Li Mengqi's originally depressed mood instantly rose up because of his words. She couldn't help but reach out to pinch his face, and said with a smile with a curved curve of her face, "Fan Fan still understands me!"
"Of course, I'm a worm in my aunt's stomach."
"Yo, you really are a smelly insect."
"Then auntie is a big stinky bug!"
"Good boy, your skin is itchy again, right? I'll deal with you then! "
"Aiya, Aunt, spare me!"
Once again, the two of them started playing around. When Old Man Li saw this, he helplessly shook his head. He quickly got up and urged, "Why aren't you washing your hands and eating?"
"Yes sir!"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately stood up. After respectfully performing a military salute, they dragged their hands into the washroom.
In the dining room, the atmosphere was very harmonious. However, what surprised Li Mengqi was that there was actually a plate of very unique looking dumplings on the table.
Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard the little boy proudly say, "Aunt, this plate of dumplings is my gift to you. "No more, no less, there are exactly 26 of them. They are just right for your age."
"Puff …"
Li Mengqi almost burst out laughing. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as a trace of disbelief flashed through her eyes, "You did it?"
Li Mengqi had been guessing when he told her she made her a present, but she didn't expect him to make dumplings. It had to be said that she was quite thoughtful. Moreover, he's only five years old. Such a young child yet she can be so sensible. Li Mengqi couldn't help but sigh inwardly to herself. Her elder brother had indeed given birth to such a good son!
"Of course I did it!"
Little Zheng proudly nodded and then placed a plate full of dumplings in front of her. She said very considerately, "This dish was made according to your aunt's taste. Why don't you try it and see if you like it? The first time I cooked, I did it for my aunt! "
"Young master?"
The smile on Li Mengqi's face unconsciously widened, "Fan, where did you learn this from?"
The Li family's home tutors were extremely strict. Normally, words like 'grandpa' and 'young grandpa' would not appear at home. She was somewhat surprised as to where all these playthings came from.
"There are a lot of them on TV. I think they're pretty fun."
The little shota excitedly replied. Who would have thought that the Great Grandfather would yell in anger, "Stinky brat, you must be polite when you speak, Young Master? Good ones don't learn, but rather learn things that don't make sense! "If you dare to be so careless next time, you better write down a copy of the Three Character Classic!"
"Yes, Great Grandfather!"
Li Yunfan immediately shut his mouth and cast a wronged glance at Li Mengqi.
Li Mengqi smiled and patted his head, saying softly, "Okay, today is my birthday, so everyone will be happy." Grandfather, let's taste the love dumplings from the mortal world. "
"En!"
Li Zhao nodded, his expression suddenly easing up.
"Fan Fan, sit down!" You promised your aunt that you would eat two bowls today. "
After she finished speaking, she helped Li Yunfan pull out a chair, gesturing for him to sit down.
Li Yunfan obediently sat down beside her, rolling his shiny black eyes and enthusiastically said, "Auntie, then let's compete. I'll eat a bowl of rice, and you can finish all the dumplings and see who's faster. How about it?"
"…"
Li Mengqi was speechless, black lines instantly appeared on her forehead.
Seeing that, Li Yunfan could not help but use a provocative tactic, "Aunt, how about it? Don't you eat a lot? Or are you afraid of losing to me? "
"Stinking brat, what are you saying? So what if we're competing? Aren't we afraid of you? "
If this was a competition, then Li Mengqi wouldn't mind letting this little brat eat a little more.
Sigh, luckily she had a physique that couldn't get fat.
"Then let's begin!"
"Alright!"
After Li Mengqi finished speaking, she picked up a dumpling and put it into her mouth to take a bite. The fragrance of celery instantly overflowed from her tongue, causing her to involuntarily give a Like!
"Fan Fan, your cooking skills are very good. If there really is a aunt, there must be a nephew! "
As Li Mengqi ate, she gave a thumbs up. While praising Li Yunfan, she shamelessly praised herself in half.
"Auntie, after your trip to New York, your skin is even thicker than the city walls."
Li Yunfan unceremoniously challenged her.
"Forget it, I'm not going to lower myself to the same level as an ignorant child like you."
She pouted her lips and then looked at her grandfather, who had been silent all this time. Her lips curved up into a smile. You've worked hard! "
These words came from his elder brother!
Children don't grow up on their own. Every child can't grow up without the care and guidance of their parents. His mortal being was raised by his grandfather.
The little shota had been by his grandfather's side since he was young. It could be said that the amount of energy his big brother spent on him was not even a tenth of his grandfather's.
As long as she thought about her grandfather's age and how he had to spend so much effort to teach such a young child and teach her so well, Li Mengqi's heart couldn't help but be moved. She also deeply loved this venerable old man.
Although Li Mengqi knew that she wasn't a child of the Li Clan, and that she wasn't related by blood to her grandfather, she couldn't bring herself to mention that fact. She longed for her family, and deeply loved her grandfather, big brother, and Fan Fan. If she could, she really wanted to be like this, pretending that she had not recovered her memories, pretending that she was still Li Mengqi.
But, no!
In the end, she couldn't lie to herself, nor could she ignore the feelings of Qi Junhao. Therefore, it was time for her to face everything bravely.
Thinking of this, her lips moved slightly. Just as she was about to speak up, Li Zhao opened his mouth quietly.
"It's not hard!" To be able to see you two siblings safely and happily, Grandpa will be able to comfort you. "
"Grandfather, I have given you a lot of headaches in the past, right?"
Li Mengqi couldn't help but to ask.
Li Zhao touched his gray beard and nodded. He then shook his head and sighed, "When you're naughty, it's indeed infuriating. But when you're obedient, it's still very obedient. In this lifetime, Grandfather can be considered satisfied to have two grandchildren from you and Chang Xu. "
"…"
Li Mengqi was silent, and her emotions suddenly became complicated.
Seeing her grandfather like this, it seemed like he didn't know that she wasn't Li Mengqi. Could it be that she should continue asking?
If she wasn't careful and told him the truth, wouldn't it be a sin for her to say that her grandfather couldn't bear the provocation? Moreover, Big Bro would probably be deeply shocked. If he found out that she was an imposter?
What on earth was she supposed to do?
After the meal, Li Mengqi's face was filled with tension. This question lingered in her mind for a long time, and couldn't be dismissed.
After the meal, Old Man Li brought Fan to his lunch break, while Li Mengqi sat in the living room with a frown on her face, seriously considering this question.
This was indeed a difficult problem. She tilted her head as she thought for a long time, but still couldn't find an answer. She had no choice but to go to the kitchen and make herself a cup of coffee.
Just as she was getting upset over this matter, an unexpected guest came to her house.
"Zheng Jing, why are you here?"
Li Mengqi was surprised that it was actually Zheng Chi.
"Yuanyi, happy birthday! A small gift, disrespectful! "
Zheng Chi still had the appearance of a noble. He handed the rose in his hand to her with his eyes narrowed, revealing a bright smile.
Li Mengqi froze for a moment. Out of politeness, she had to bite the bullet and accept it.
"Thank you!"
Li Mengqi smiled, her almond eyes flashing with doubt, "How did you know about my birthday?"
"Grandpa Li called me and told me that you came back from New York and asked me to come over for dinner tonight, so I ran out. You don't mind, do you, Yuen? "
After he finished, he looked at her slowly, but he felt uneasy.
