Li Zexuan held Xiao Yi and Li Zexin on either side of him. “What’s the situation with you two? Why did you evade the question and choose to draw turtles on your face?”
“Look at the kind of questions they’re asking! It’s all because Jiejie started the mischief, so everyone followed along. They asked me who I would save first if both Jiejie and the Wind God fell into the river at the same time. How am I supposed to answer that?” Li Zexin complained.
“It’s just the three of us now. Since Jiejie isn’t here, tell me the answer.” Li Zexuan said.
He also wanted to know the answer to the question since saving Jiejie first would mean Xinxin would choose him if it was him in the question.
“I can swim,” Xiao Yi said.
“I would jump into the river myself and save both of them.” Li Zexin punched his older brother. “Why are you asking such childish questions? The Wind God is my mentor, and Jiejie is my little brother.” Li Zexin still didn’t give a straight answer.
Xiao Yi chuckled. “If both you and my computer fell into the river, I’d definitely save you.”
“That’s obvious. Computers can be replaced.”
The mothers walked together.
“Wanwan, is Mr. Li always like this?” Tao Jingyuan asked.
“Are you implying that he doesn’t like to talk about private matters?
“Yes.”
“Yes. He only talks about it with me. He doesn’t like discussing his private life with others, but he’s completely transparent with me.” Lin Wan knew what Tao Jingyuan was implying. She thought that Li Yanchen had many secrets.
“That’s really admirable. If Old Xiao could be even a tenth as honest as Li Yanchen… No, even a hundredth as honest, I’d be content.” Xia MO sighed. While playing the game, Xia MO had exclaimed once because Xiao Tianlin
didn’t hold anything back. “My silly husband.. Why does he have to answer everything that someone asks?”
“Old Xiao is genuine. It’s good. Such straightforward men never lie.” Nannan reassured Xia MO even though she thought Xiao Tianlin was a bit silly.
“I think Xiaxia should talk to Old Xiao. There are things you shouldn’t easily share with others. Maybe because I’ve been in the entertainment industry for a long time, I value privacy greatly. I actually think Li Yanchen’s approach is good. I’m also someone who doesn’t like talking about my personal life.” Bai Xue’s words made Tao Jingyuan feel ashamed.
“Teacher Bai, did I ask an inappropriate question today? I’m sorry,” said Tao Jingyuan apologetically.
“No, not at all! Today was a game, and games are meant to be like this. Besides, you’ve been kind to me all along. You only asked me about makeup.”
“Alright.”
“Michael is the smartest. He knows how to play it cool. It neither breaks the game rules nor reveals private matters,” Xia MO said.
“Michael does that every time. Sometimes it frustrates me. You want an answer, and he just jokes around. It’s aggravating!” Nannan muttered.
“Everyone has things they don’t want to talk about. I’m the same sometimes. Mr. Li always asks me such childish questions. If I don’t want to answer, I’ll change the topic.”
“I was just about to say Wanwan does the same. Hahaha,” Xia MO said.
Following closely behind were the fathers. They also chattered away.
Michael patted Xiao Tianlin on the shoulder. “Old Xiao, you should be more careful. You can’t just spill everything. Do you even know who’s good and who’s bad online?” he said sympathetically.
“I was only talking about unimportant things,” said Xiao Tianlin.
“Old Xiao is always very sincere,” said Li Yanchen sarcastically.
“Brother Li, you, on the other hand, aren’t sincere at all. You must be scared of your wife even now. Talking about your love life seems to terrify you,” said Xiao Tianlin jokingly.
“Men who fear their wives do very well in life. I just don’t want to talk about my past in front of everyone. Regardless of whether Wanwan would mind or not, I feel it’s unnecessary to bring it up,” said Li Yanchen.
“You’re a good man.” Michael gave him a thumbs-up. “Even though my ex-wife and I divorced years ago, and she has remarried, we still keep in touch. There’s Wheatley between us, after all. Bringing up the past isn’t good for any of us. Thank you, Mr. Li, for being lenient today and not asking about my past.” “I’m not interested in gossip. “.
“Are you all free later? Do you want to play chess together?” Michael had brought a few board games along this time. He even had snakes and ladders.
“Sure. Chess or Go?” Xiao Tianlin asked.
“Both. ”
“Tutu and I are bored at home. I’ll join you,” said Su Wei.
“I think I’ll pass. I have some work to do.” Li Yanchen made an excuse. The real reason was that Lin Wan had said she would consider having a child. He had to strike while the iron was hot.
“Okay.” The dads who decided to play for a while before heading home didn’t try to persuade Li Yanchen to stay.
Li Yanchen followed closely behind Lin Wan. He wanted to hold her hand when they got close to the house. To his surprise, Lin Wan and Xia MO walked into the house together.
“Wanwan…”
“I’m going to Xia’s house to talk for a bit.”
“Do you have a lot to talk about?” Li Yanchen muttered under his breath.
“What?”
“Nothing! Just come back soon.”
Lin Wan and Xia MO held hands and talked as they disappeared into the night. Li Yanchen stood cold and disheveled in the cold wind.
After a while, he walked back home. The courtyard was dark and deserted, and none of the kids had come back.
He sighed. He should have gone to play chess instead.
At Michael’s house, it was lively.
Michael and Qi Ming were seated at one table. Xiao Tianlin and Su Wei were at another table. They were playing both chess and Go.
As a fan of Go, Qi Yue played with Wheatley while watching her dad play chess.
Bai Xue also came to Michael’s house to join her daughter.
Nannan was cutting fruits to serve to the others.
“Nannan, don’t work too hard. Take a break,” Bai Xue said to the busy woman.
“I’ll be done in a moment. I’ll just bring the teapot here, so whoever wants tea can pour it themselves. Bai Xue, let’s go to the inner room. We were planning to continue shooting children’s clothing tonight. The task from the production team ended too late, so we had time to plan it out. Feel free to give your input.” Nannan thought that Bai Xue surely had good taste since she was an actress. “Sure.” Bai Xue gladly accepted. She loved looking at beautiful clothes, even children’s clothing.
The room had clothes neatly hung on stainless steel racks.
“These are all samples. Take a look and see if you have any good suggestions for pairing.”
“These are all already prepared by you?” Bai Xue rested her chin on her hand. “Can the colors be mixed up a bit? I don’t think they necessarily have to be from the same color scheme. Look, this purple piece could go with the rose-red one. Putting them together looks nice, doesn’t it? And this pinafore dress could go with this denim skirt. Of course, it should be shorter. Kids are active and long skirts are inconvenient…” Bai Xue rearranged the outfits..
