Xia Ling did not expect her child to request this and raised her eyebrows.

Li Lei struck while the iron was hot and smiled. “Shaohui, sister loves you the most. How could she reject your request? Choose a good day and uncle will pick you up to have fun. Not only can you see Er Mao, but there’s also a very pretty garden.” He lived in the apartment in the past because she rented it. In reality, that apartment was not his usual home. He had a large villa in another wealthy area of the city and usually, Er Mao liked to reside there.

However, Xia Ling had no qualms letting him down. “I don’t want to go.”

Shaohui’s face fell.

Pei Ziheng placed a piece of meat in Shaohui’s bowl and gently said, “Do you like leopards? Uncle Pei will bring you and sister to play in the zoo.”

Shaohui was even unhappier. Wasn’t he pushing Uncle Li Lei further and further away from his sister? He blinked and looked pitifully at Xia Ling. “I want to see Er Mao. Sister, if you don’t want to go, can you let me go alone?” He was sure that his sister would not be at ease letting him go alone to Uncle Li’s house.

Sure enough, Xia Ling replied, “No way.”

He burst into tears and silently played with his vegetables.

Li Lei said, “It’s not a big deal to come and take a look.”

Xia Ling put down her chopsticks and looked at him. “Are you done? If you’re done eating you can leave.”

Li Lei did not utter a word and quietly ate.

Pei Ziheng saw everything and a smile crept on his lips as he continued to eat quietly.

Four of them sat at the table with different states of minds. Xia Ling wanted these two bigshots to leave, so she quickly ate. However, those two people did not seem to be in a hurry and were extremely slow.

Shaohui looked at everything and also ate very slowly.

Xia Ling could not stand it anymore and said to Shaohui, “Children shouldn’t take so long to eat, it’s not good for their stomachs. Eat faster so that the nanny can clear up the table and wash the dishes.”

“Ok.” Shaohui acknowledged sullenly and continued to play with the leaves of the vegetables.

“Is the food not appetizing?” Xia Ling asked.

“No.” Shaohui’s shoulders drooped. “I really want to see Er Mao…”

Xia Ling wanted to sigh. Why was this child so silly? After hearing someone describe Er Mao so extravagantly, he insisted on seeing him. Why was he so easily fooled? “Tomorrow, sister will take you to the zoo.” Xia Ling said. Anyway, even if Er Mao were not there, he could see other leopards. The child’s curiosity would then fade away.

“I’ll go with you.” Pei Ziheng warmly said.

Li Lei lifted his head and looked at him with a dark expression.

Pei Ziheng ignored him. “I will ask someone to inform the zoo now. Tomorrow, Shaohui can look as much as he wants.”

Shaohui said, “No. I only want to see Er Mao.”

Pei Ziheng was speechless. Why was this child so disobedient?

Xia Ling also had a headache. She put down her chopsticks and said, “Well then, you can slowly eat. I will be going upstairs now.” She left the group of people behind and did not want to deal with Shaohui’s disobedient behavior. There were some things that she could agree to and some that she could never agree to.

“Xiao Ling.”

“Xiao Ling.” The two men called at the same time.

She did not want to care at all. She only felt that it was a mess and did not even look back. Seeing that she was gone, the two men felt that there was no point staying anymore. After pacifying Shaohui, they promptly left. Shaohui reluctantly said goodbye to them, especially to Li Lei.

This idiotic father could not even get a date with a girl. How stupid was he!

Shaohui also sighed in melancholy and walked back into the house slowly. What exactly should he say to convince Sister to let him visit Er Mao? He went back to the house, fiddled with his teddy bear, and suddenly thought of an idea.

No matter what mistakes children made, they would always be forgiven.

After choosing a sunny day, Shaohui put on his best-looking clothes and left the house after escaping the attention of the nanny. He very smoothly flagged down a cab, told the driver Li Lei’s address, and arrived at his destination.

“Uncle Li, I’m at your doorstep.” He called Li Lei and said innocently.

Li Lei was stunned. “Why did you come here?” After that, he said, “Don’t move. Uncle will go back home now!” He hung up the phone and rushed back home from Skyart Entertainment.

Shaohui sighed. He looked at the stern bodyguard, obediently retreated a few steps and sat down in the shade of a large tree to wait for him. He really spared no effort trying to matchmake his parents.

Soon, Li Lei arrived.

Seeing that the child was clean and unhurt, Li Lei finally sighed in relief. “Why did you come here alone? What if you encounter a bad person? You can’t do this in the future.”

The child was moved by his concern. His biological father cared about his safety!

He nodded and said, “Ok, I won’t do it again.”

Li Lei patted his head. “Does your sister know that you’re here today?”

Shaohui shook his head. “I’m afraid that Sister won’t let me see Er Mao, so I didn’t tell her. Uncle Li, after I’ve seen Er Mao, you can call my sister and she will come to pick me up.”

Li Lei replied, “Ok.”

He carried the child into the house.

The villa was very big and the interior was beautifully designed with elegance. Shaohui curiously looked around and asked Li Lei, “Uncle Li, is this your villa?”

“Yes.” Li Lei said, “Why?”

Shaohui leaned over. “The feeling Uncle Li gives me and the feeling this villa gives me is different. This villa seems to be a girl’s house.”

Li Lei was a little surprised. Why was this child so sharp?

“This villa was decorated by me.” Suddenly, a faint voice was heard.

Shaohui turned around to see a woman wearing a lavender dress. Her makeup was exquisite, but Shaohui did not know why he disliked her at first glance.

“This is Aunt Su Tang.” Li Lei introduced Shaohui to her.

This is Aunt Su Tang? Uncle said that there are a few bad women by dad’s side and gave me a list. One of them is Aunt Su Tang, and I heard that she’s Li Rui’s mom.

Alarm bells rang in Shaohui’s heart, but he smiled more sweetly. “Nice to meet you, Aunt Su Tang.”

Su Tang scrutinized Shaohui and smiled. “Nice to meet you.” Quietly, she turned to Li Lei and asked softly, “Whose child is this? He’s very cute. Are you tired of carrying him? Put him down. I’ll ask the nanny to prepare some snacks for him.”

Li Lei said, “He’s called Shaohui, and he’s the child Xiao Ling adopted. He came over to visit Er Mao. Su Tang, I will ask Xiao Ling to come over to pick the child up and also ask her to stay for dinner. You…” He knew that Su Tang liked him and was very unhappy when she saw Xiao Ling. However, he still had to say this. “If you don’t want to see Xiao Ling, just avoid her for the time being.”

Su Tang’s smile vanished.

On the surface, she appeared to act with decorum. “How could I? It’s because of me that you and Miss Ye have so many misunderstandings. I’m so happy that she can come. I will entertain the guests well.”
