Chapter 136

At the dining table, the other six people were all stunned, pricking up their ears, all wanting to hear the man's words clearly.

"I'm eating, I didn't see my phone."

"I see, where are you eating? I'll come pick you up."

"No need to come over."

"No way, I won't feel at ease. Send me the address."

Xiao Li'er gave him the address. Then she hung up the phone.

The people around the round table looked at each other, and Xiao Jun gave a thumbs up under the table.

His elder sister is really awesome. This way, Xu Zheyang probably wouldn't feel comfortable continuing what he was saying.

Xiao Jun just didn't understand. This Xu Zheyang had also returned from studying abroad, so he should have a more open mindset and be more gentlemanly. But he started by saying that after Xiao Li'er got married, she wouldn't need to work. If it were Xu Zheyang becoming his brother-in-law, he would be the first one to object.

"Sis, is your husband coming to pick you up?" Xiao Jun asked.

Xiao's Father and Xiao's Mother looked doubtful, as they didn't know when Xiao Li'er had started dating someone.

The family of three sitting across from them also suddenly looked unhappy. It was an extremely awkward meal, and it ended abruptly.

Xiao Li'er remained absentminded until she went out of the restaurant entrance. She saw Liu Bo standing in front of a car, looking at her.

The six people who came along also looked over. So there really was a boyfriend after all.

"Brother-in-law!" Xiao Jun shouted excitedly.

Liu Bo walked over from beside the car. He was a bit confused too, as he thought Xiao Li'er was going on a blind date by herself, but looking at it now, there were almost enough people for two tables of mahjong.

"Is it over?"

Liu Bo walked up beside Xiao Li'er.

He also felt quite awkward. So this was directly meeting the parents? If Xiao Li'er had told him, he definitely wouldn't have come.

"You really came?"

Liu Bo leaned close to Xiao Li'er, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Why didn't you tell me your parents were here?"

"You didn't ask either. What do we do next?"

"Brother-in-law, have you eaten?" Xiao Jun asked with a smile, not caring about Xu Zheyang's feelings behind him.DiiScover new stories at novelhall.com

Xiao's Father tugged at Xiao Jun's clothes. This kid really didn't mince his words.

"Who is this?" Xiao's Father asked, looking at Liu Bo.

"Dad, this is—" Xiao Li'er paused, unable to say it in front of Liu Bo that he was her boyfriend.

"Uncle, auntie, hello. I'm Li'er's boyfriend." Liu Bo said.

The little girl waved and ran upstairs.

"How's it going? It's been almost a month since you got your marriage certificate. What's it like being a married person?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

"She really doesn't treat me like her husband. She calls me 'Brother Jingrui' every day, without any sense of being in a romantic relationship."

"What about you? How do you feel?"

"I feel like her father."

"She lives every day like a child, carefree and untroubled. Now, every day for me is like raising a daughter."

The little girl was too delicate, and Xue Jingrui worried every day about whether she was eating enough or sleeping well. He made sure she had fresh fruit every day, afraid that she might not be comfortable.

Inside the small building, Shen Yin was teaching Zhengzheng arithmetic. The little doll could usually count from one to twenty, and he knew addition and subtraction within ten, but no more than that because he didn't have enough fingers.

"Zhengzheng, what's five plus seven?" Shen Yin sat on the carpet with Zhengzheng.

The little one heard his mother's question and started counting on his fingers, one by one. Five fingers, plus seven more fingers. He stopped when he reached ten.

"Mommy, Zhengzheng doesn't have enough fingers."

Zhengzheng looked up at Shen Yin, a bit troubled. Why did he only have ten fingers?

"Mommy, can you lend your fingers to Zhengzheng?"

"How about borrowing auntie's hands?" Qi Ji said, walking in from the entrance.

Shen Yin and Zhengzheng looked up at Qi Ji when they heard her voice.

Qi Ji hadn't seen Zhengzheng for almost half a month, and she felt that the little doll had become even more handsome.

"Auntie."

"You're not calling me a stranger anymore."

Qi Ji squatted down and stretched out her hand. "Let's do the math."

Xu Yunzheng took Qi Ji's hand and continued counting as he had before, adding two more of Qi Ji's fingers.

"Mom, five plus seven equals twelve."

"Excellent, what about five plus eight?"

This time, Xu Yunzheng did not count on his fingers. Instead, he pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Thirteen."

"Six plus seven?"

"Thirteen."

"Zhengzheng is so smart."

"He's very intelligent and has strong logical thinking. His little mind works quickly. It's all my fault for not taking better care of him before. Otherwise, he would have already mastered addition and subtraction within fifty by now."
