When Ji Niandong came back, she heard Lu Sinian and her dad having a great time, which was somewhat unbelievable.
When she was little, her dad spent his time either working or drinking and playing cards, and they rarely talked at home.
Thinking about it now, was it because she was a girl that her dad was somewhat reserved?
Anyway, this is a good thing, as things are developing just as she hoped!
As they brought the groceries into the kitchen, Lu Beichen rolled up his sleeves and came in, "Let me help!"
Aunt He waved her hands repeatedly, "Where do we need your help, this..."
Such an important person!
Ji Niandong smiled, pushed Aunt He by her shoulders, and ushered her out, "Aunt He, today you’re also a guest in our home, so let us make this meal. When the day comes that you and Dad’s wedding is held, from then on when you come back, I’ll be ready to eat your cooking!"
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by what Ji Niandong said, Aunt He remarked, "Oh, then I won’t disturb you two!"
She wiped her hands and walked toward the living room, then sat on the sofa, glanced at Li Yi who was watching TV, and asked with a smile, "Who is this young man?"
"I’m the Boss’s secretary, my name is Li Yi, hello Aunt He!" Li Yi replied politely.
Aunt He then inquired, "How old are you? Are you settled with a career or family yet?"
Li Yi felt a bit embarrassed being asked, "28, not yet!"
"Sorry, I’m just asking casually!" Aunt He said, "You look quite handsome, you might actually be a good match for Lingling!"
Li Yi was taken aback and asked, "Are you talking about Shen Congling?"
"Yes, that girl!" Aunt He nodded, "She’s different from her brother. When her parents passed away, she was still young and cried her heart out. I never had a child myself, so I comforted her back then, and somehow she got attached to me! When her brother wasn’t around, she would come bother me and Tongtong! That girl is always scheming for money, trying every way she can, just to buy things like the big sun and little sun, to go to concerts and autograph sessions, even my house is filled with posters. I’ve been thinking of getting her married off to a decent family once she graduates, so she can settle down! Since you also know our Lingling, what do you think of her?"
Li Yi’s face slightly froze, he laughed dryly twice, while Aunt He smiled, "I was too straightforward in asking!"
Li Yi secretly bit his teeth, realizing how she repeatedly tricked him for money, which apparently went to Lin Ji Yang!
Lu Beichen rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt and skillfully chopped the vegetables. Since she was on her period, Lu Beichen wouldn’t let her do any work.
Ji Niandong stood aside watching, feeling like she was watching a walking poster. Sometimes she could somewhat understand Shen Congling’s infatuation, but couldn’t comprehend her brainless actions as a fan.
Hearing the laughter from next door, Ji Niandong couldn’t help but say, "Little Uncle, it seems we both aren’t as capable as Nian Nian. My dad seems to really like him a lot, and I haven’t heard Nian Nian laugh so happily."
Laughing to the point of almost losing his breath!
Lu Beichen also chuckled, "That’s a good thing!"
Ji Niandong nodded, feeling a bit melancholic, "I hadn’t realized my dad could do magic tricks and such things. When I was little, Dad never amused me or comforted me!"
"Maybe because you’re a girl, he thought he should be gentler," Lu Beichen consoled.
Ji Niandong nodded, "That’s what I was thinking too!" She walked over and leaned against Lu Beichen’s back, "Little Uncle, if you had a daughter, how would you treat her?"
"What, are you thinking about having a daughter with me?" Lu Beichen turned to ask.
Ji Niandong turned her eyes awkwardly, "Not thinking about it for now!"
Lu Beichen smiled and nodded in agreement, "Well, until you’ve realized your dreams!"
Ji Niandong rubbed against his back, "It’s really nice!"
Just , it’s really good!
