When Li Sicheng heard those words, he couldn’t identify what the problem was. “Daughters are meant to be spoiled and pampered. That way when they grow up, they’ll make life difficult for someone else’s son. It’s not going to be so easy to marry the daughter from our family.”

As he spoke, he gave a side-eye to Ou Ming, and said matter-of-factly, “As for the boys, of course, they have to learn to be responsible and shoulder the burdens. How will they protect their sister otherwise? Aren’t I right?”

“You’re right.” Ou Ming agreed. Li Sicheng had voiced the very belief of Ou Ming’s.

“Still, there has to be a limit. Look at your daughter; even her own mother is finding her too pampered.” Su Qianci nudged Li Sicheng lightly as she spoke, her tone laced with a hint of discontentment.

Li Sicheng chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Alright. Teach her whatever she needs to learn then.”

When Su Qianci heard that, she decided to just ignore him. She turned her head to Yu Lili and asked, “What are your plans for tomorrow?”

Yu Lili was currently in an awkward position regarding her ident.i.ty. If Ou Ming went home, wouldn’t that mean that she would have to spend the day alone? When Su Qianci thought of this, she realized Ou Ming’s true purpose in bringing Yu Lili over today.

The realization dawning upon her, Su Qianci walked over to Yu Lili and sat beside her. She asked, “I have two tickets to an art exhibition. Why don’t we go together?”

Upon hearing that, Li Sicheng turned to Su Qianci with raised eyebrows.

How quickly her mind changed! They had just agreed yesterday to leave the children behind and go for a nice date. How did that date now become her and Yu Lili’s?

Su Qianci acted as if she hadn’t noticed Li Sicheng’s expression. She continued looking at Yu Lili expectantly as she asked, “So? What do you think?”

“Eh…” Yu Lili had caught sight of Li Sicheng’s expression. After a moment of consideration, she replied, “Don’t you have to be at home? It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow.”

“It’s fine! After I finish the ch.o.r.es for the day, I’m free at night. We’ll go at night. The art exhibition starts at seven o’clock. When we go, it’ll be at its liveliest!”

Yu Lili did want very much to go, as she had nothing else to do anyway.

Ou Ming would spend New Year’s Eve with his family every year. It was only in the afternoon on New Year’s day that we would come to join her, and this year was probably going to be no different.

Yu Lili looked towards Li Sicheng, who felt her eyes on him and rea.s.sured her, “Go ahead. I’m taking the kids to watch fireworks tomorrow. When you’re done with the art exhibition, come back here together.”

The unspoken intention being that Yu Lili was invited to welcome the New Year together with them?

Yu Lili was a little surprised, and her heart warmed up. She nodded her head happily.

“Alright!”

“It’s set then. See you tomorrow.”

Yu Lili nodded and looked at Ou Ming. Ou Ming didn’t say a word. He just looked at Yu Lili with an ambiguous smile.

Li Jianqian and Li Mosen finally came back down, each of them holding a box. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they ran to Ou Ming and Yu Lili immediately.

“Uncle, Auntie. This is for you.” Li Jianqian and Li Mosen spoke together at the same time they held their boxes out.

Yu Lili and Ou Ming were surprised as they looked at the two boys.

“Brothers, is mine inside as well?” Li Jianyue asked as she continued eating her dessert, white residue covering her lips. “Did you put my homework inside too?”
