Chapter 1520 I’m Not Here To Freeload
Li Sicheng gave a light hum of acknowledgment as a show of consent and suddenly thought of something. “I heard you were going to introduce your girlfriend to Grandfather. Was that today?”
“Yeah. I brought her to Grandfather today. His impression of her isn’t too bad.” Li Jinnan seemed happy. “You’ve probably met her before when we went on a picnic. She’s Ye Qianqian’s younger sister. Does that ring a bell?”
Ye Qianqian’s younger sister?
Li Sicheng thought for a while and asked, “Who is Ye Qianqian?”
Li Jinnan was speechless. “Forget it,” he finally said. “I’d better go back now. Remember to bring the kids over.”
“You’d seriously better come back to work! Your sister-in-law has been suffering from severe morning sickness. How can you bear to keep me in your office all day?” Li Sicheng played the emotional blackmail card. “Remember the times when your sister-in-law took care of you while you were in the hospital! Now, you’ve thrown all your responsibilities to me, and I’m unable to accompany my wife! Your sister-in-law is pregnant all on her own, and she still has to handle three kids...”
“Stop!” Li Jinnan’s head was beginning to throb. “It’s not like there’s that much at the office that needs your attention. Furthermore, you only have to oversee a few minor things. A major chunk of the work is still left to me!”
When Li Sicheng heard that, he slowed down his speech as if he were talking to a little child and said, “Those things were not something a mere substitute could handle. That’s why I left them all to you. Otherwise, if something went wrong, that would really mean trouble.”
Li Jinnan was speechless.
“Moreover, you told me three days. Today is already the second day. You’d better get back here tomorrow and get to work! I need to accompany your sister-in-law for a prenatal checkup tomorrow.” Li Sicheng looked at the time and said, “That’s all for now. Your sister-in-law is calling me home for dinner. When you’re done, come over to take the kids to the old manor. That’ll give me a few days to peace to spend with my wife.”
With that, Li Sicheng hung up the phone without even a goodbye. Li Jinnan was at a loss for words.
When he heard the engaged tone on the other side of the phone, his emotions became messy. No matter what he did, he could never be as shameless as Li Sicheng. Unfortunately, there was no way he could refute his brother’s logic.
“Come on. We’re going to my brother’s place,” Li Jinnan stated helplessly.
“Whatever for?” Ye Youyou asked
“To bring the little majesties over to the old manor,” he replied.
...
By the time Li Jinnan drove into the Yuxiu Villa Estate, it was almost 1 p.m. He pressed the doorbell and could hear the sound of the kids running inside.
Li Mosen called out, “Who is it?”
“It’s I, your uncle!” Li Jinnan replied.
Li Mosen quickly opened the door. When he saw Li Jinnan, he smiled happily. When he saw Ye Youyou behind Li Jinnan, he asked, “Who is this auntie?”
“She’s my girlfriend. Call her ‘Aunt.’” Li Jinnan walked in and looked inside.
Ye Youyou reached out to smack him and said, “Don’t teach the kid the wrong thing.”
Li Mosen didn’t listen to Ye Youyou and did as Li Jinnan asked. He greeted her dutifully, “Hello, Aunt.”
Ye Youyou was a little embarrassed by the form of address and quickly replied, “Hello.”
Li Jinnan made his way inside. He saw Li Sicheng on the couch accompanying Su Qianci. They were leaning on each other and watching something on the tablet computer.
Her two-month pregnancy wasn’t showing much yet. Su Qianci’s subconscious stroking of her belly made it clear to everyone.
“Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, we’re here,” Li Jinnan said.
Li Sicheng didn’t even bother looking up as he replied, “We’ve already had lunch. There’s no food for you here.”
Li Jinnan was exasperated. “I’m not here to freeload!”
“Sure. The kids are inside. Take them,” Li Sicheng said.

Ersu: Papa, am I really your biological child?
Li Sicheng: Don’t doubt it. You truly are.
