“Yeah.” Li Xiaoxia looked at her face that was even more beautiful than in her movies. Although he was a little upset that she had become his aunt, it still felt very good to be able to see his goddess when he woke up in the morning. “Sister Ruan Yang, why are you up so early? Are you not used to the different environment? My Little Uncle, that lazy pig, always sleeps till 11 am or 12 pm.”

Ruan Yang felt a little awkward because she usually slept in too. “No, I slept very well. I just got up especially early because I wanted to have breakfast with Xiaoxia.”

She blinked cheekily.

Li Xiaoxia’s eyes lit up. His morning gloominess from having to go to school suddenly disappeared. “Sister Ruan Yang, are you serious?”

“Haha, actually, I’m hungry.” Ruan Yang smiled mischievously. “Also, I have to thank you for yesterday. If you weren’t so bold to speak up for me, I doubt your family members would have forgiven me so easily.”

Li Xiaoxia felt proud of himself when he heard that. He waved his hands nonchalantly. “Actually, it’s no big deal. Sister Ruan Yang, you treat me well and I know your character. I’m not such a shallow person. I remember that you once acted in a drama and in that drama, you said: ‘Sometimes, what you see might not be real. We should look through the cracks.’ After I watched that, I felt very motivated and touched…”

Shen Liu was on her way downstairs when she happened to hear what her son said. The corner of her lips twitched as she said, “I think you’re going to be a bootlicker in the future. You make everything sound so nice.”

Ruan Yang couldn’t help but laugh. “Good morning Sister-in-law, I think Xiaoxia is pretty interesting and he’s quite funny.”

“I’m not funny. I was being serious.” Li Xiaoxia pouted sadly. “I want to be a lawyer in the future. I don’t want to be a bootlicker.”

“If you’re going to be a lawyer, who’s going to inherit your dad’s company?” Shen Liu felt her head aching.

“Don’t worry. I’ll spend every single cent for you.” Li Xiaoxia broke out into a smile. “I definitely won’t waste a single bit of Dad’s efforts.”

Shen Liu felt her heart aching as well. If Li Zhongchi heard that, he would definitely be driven to his grave. “Is his money for you to squander off? What would be the point of your dad working so hard to earn money?”

“Money is meant to be spent.” Li Xiaoxia pouted. “Don’t tell me you’re going to keep leaving it in the bank while others reap the profits?”

“You’re still so insensible. I can’t be bothered to talk to you.” Lately, Shen Liu could be in a bad mood for the entire day by just exchanging a few words with him. “I should just give birth to another one in case you only know how to be a spendthrift when you grow up.”

“Up to you. I’m not the one giving birth anyway. If I don’t have enough money, I can just make some more when I grow up since I have such a smart brain.” Li Xiaoxia held Ruan Yang’s hand. “Sister Ruan Yang, let’s go have breakfast. Didn’t you say you were hungry? Our Kitchen Auntie makes really good breakfast.”

Ruan Yang glanced at Shen Liu, who looked glum at the back, and found her funny. However, any child at this age would be a headache. Especially teenagers. Hopefully, her child wouldn’t be like Li Shaobin in the future. Otherwise, she would be driven to her grave.

…

At the long dining table were Li Zhongchi, Grandma Li, and Grandpa Li. He Mingshan and Li Congyang went for a morning jog early in the morning.

“Sister Ruan Yang, try this steamed dumpling. It’s fantastic.” Li Xiaoxia put a few in Ruan Yang’s bowl. “Remember to dip it in this sauce. This is the Kitchen Auntie’s secret sauce. You can’t find it anywhere elsewhere.”

“Thank you. You should eat some too.” Ruan Yang felt a little embarrassed because of him.

Shen Liu said grumpily, “I’ve been your mom for more than 10 years but I don’t see you treating me so well.”

“You’re my mom. This is my idol. You can’t compare,” Li Xiaoxia said. “If you were to see Lee Jongsuk, you would be worse than me.”

“Who’s Lee Jongsuk?” Li Zhongchi lifted his head lazily from his bowl of noodles.

Shen Liu smacked her son and said with a gentle smile, “Ignore him; he’s full of nonsense.”

Li Xiaoxia said with a grin, “Lee Jongsuk is a Korean actor. Mom watches his every dramas very religiously and even mutters things like ‘if only Dad was so handsome’…”

“Really?” Li Zhongchi smiled outwardly. “It seems like I’ve been too busy lately. I don’t even know what you’re thinking already. Let’s have a good chat later.”

“Hubby, don’t listen to his nonsense.” Shen Liu felt a chill down her spine. She turned around and pulled Li Xiaoxia’s ear angrily. “Eat quickly. If you don’t, you’re going to be late for school.”

“Ouch. Don’t pull my ear—I’ll eat, alright?” Li Xiaoxia quickly wolfed down his food and grabbed his bag as he said, “We have a tigress at home.”

After he said that, he scooted off, leaving Shen Liu seething with anger.

Ruan Yang put in a lot of effort to control her laughter. She finally knew who Li Xiaoxia took after.

On the other hand, Grandma Li and Grandpa Li were laughing. Li Shaobin heard the laughter while he was on his way to the dining room. He looked over and saw that aside from Shen Liu and Li Zhongchi, basically everyone was laughing. Shen Liu had her head lowered as she ate her breakfast silently while Li Zhongchi was expressionless.

“What’s everyone laughing about?” Li Shaobin went up to Ruan Yang.

“Korean dramas,” Li Zhongchi said lightly. “I’m preparing to persuade your sister-in-law to watch less of those unrealistic romance dramas. Also, Shen Liu, you should keep a watch on your son more these days. Use the time you use to watch Korean dramas to supervise your son and he might just top the class.”

Shen Liu clenched her teeth. “Why are you blaming me for Xiaoxia’s results? You know his results weren’t good. If you’re really concerned about his studies, you should come home earlier to watch over him instead of playing around outside.”

“I’m not playing; I’m socializing,” Li Zhongchi said solemnly.

“Even so, is there a need for you to come back late at night every day? There isn’t that much socializing to do. Besides, you have your weekends off too. One call from your friends on the weekend and you’re out of the house. You’d rather be with your brothers than be with me and Xiaoxia. Don’t blame me.” Shen Liu looked at Grandma Li. “Grandma, don’t you think I’m right?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Grandma Li nodded. “Work is important but your wife and son are equally important. You don’t even let her watch Korean dramas. Really—aren’t dramas made to be watched?”

Li Zhongchi facepalmed. “Are you my grandma?”

“I’ll stand on the side of the person who keeps me company the most,” Grandma Li said with a smile.

Li Zhongchi glared at Shen Liu, who was gloating at the side. He’d teach her a lesson back in their room at night.

Shen Liu ignored him and looked at Li Shaobin. “The earliest you wake up usually is 10 am. Why are you up at 7 am today? Are you a changed man now that you have a wife?”

Li Shaobin glanced at Ruan Yang then at Grandma Li. He said, “Last night, Ruan Yang told me that Grandpa and Grandma are getting old. I should keep them company more often. I think that made a lot of sense so I got up earlier today to have breakfast with everyone.”

Ruan Yang was stunned. She turned around and saw him winking slyly at her. She suddenly understood his intentions and felt moved.

“Aiyo, that’s the most heartwarming thing I’ve heard in my entire life.” Grandma Li’s eyes almost reddened. “You’re indeed more sensible now that you have a wife. I don’t even remember the last time I had breakfast with Binbin. It must’ve been a few years ago.”

“That’s such an exaggeration.” Li Shaobin felt awkward.

“It’s not an exaggeration at all.” Grandpa Li glared at him. “You’re usually away from home for days on end. When you’re at home, you wake up late. Usually, you only wake up close to noon. We all have our breakfast and you don’t like people waking you up. After you eat, you leave immediately. It’s even more difficult to have breakfast with you than the president.”

Li Shaobin lowered his head guiltily. “Alright, alright. I’ll wake up early to have breakfast with you when I’m free.”

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to hear you say that for the rest of my living years.” Grandma Li looked at Ruan Yang. “Ruan Yang is so sensible.”

Ruan Yang smiled. “I’ll wake him up when I get up in the future.”

“Then why don’t you two stay over for a few more days?” Grandma Li asked warmly.

“Sure.” Ruan Yang agreed without even thinking.

Li Shaobin moved his lips but ended up holding himself back.

—————-

After breakfast, Ruan Yang went upstairs to help him pick his clothes. She couldn’t trust Li Shaobin’s taste at all. Spring was the time when a man could dress up the best. However, she couldn’t dress him up too well. Otherwise, he might start attracting unnecessary attention.

“Yangyang, don’t you feel restrained living here?” Li Shaobin said as he hugged her from behind.

“No. I think your family members are quite interesting,” Ruan Yang said with a grin.

Interesting?

Li Shaobin looked at the smile on Ruan Yang’s face. He really couldn’t understand why she might feel that way. “Then will you be bored when I leave for work today?”

“No.” Ruan Yang turned around and smiled. ‘But you’ve suddenly gotten smarter and even knew to say that to your grandma at the dining table.”

“I wasn’t lying.” Li Shaobin grinned and said, “I think what you said made sense. But I didn’t think that they would be so happy with me just eating breakfast with them. Yangyang, my grandma is treating you better than yesterday.”

“Yeah. It’s all thanks to you.” Ruan Yang gave him a peck on the cheek.

Li Shaobin’s heart almost melted from that kiss. “You’re trying to dismiss me with just a kiss after all that I’ve done?”
