43 Are All Stepmothers the Same?
[What? Li Yanchen is going to beat Li Zexin up? Didn’t you say that he didn’t care if Li Zexin skipped class or did whatever? So, he still loves Xuanxuan the most!]
[Li Zexin was the first to close the live broadcast room. This isn’t a matter of educating people behind closed doors. He must give an explanation to the vast number of netizens.]
[What’s the point of explaining when brothers are fighting?]
[Do Xuanxuan fans have such fragile hearts?]
[We’re just joking. My brother is just a child. Who would really want to see him get beaten up?]
Lin Wan ran across the village searching for Li Zexuan for another thirty minutes. Other than meeting a few staff members, she had not seen anything else. She had decided to go home and take a look. As expected, the moment she reached the entrance, she saw the family sitting at the square table.
‘Li Yanchen couldn’t have informed me?’ Her anger rose. But seeing Li Zexuan at the table with his head buried in his hands, she felt her anger slip away.
It was only then that Li Yanchen saw her. He just realized that he had forgotten about her. He stood up to explain. “We just got back. I was about to call you but then realized that I forgot my cell phone somewhere.”
Right at that moment, his cell phone, which was in his pocket, rang suddenly.
” I’m going to go take an afternoon nap,” Lin Wan said calmly. “Don’t call me unless there is something important.”
[Li Yanchen’s survival instincts are so strong. Is he trying to explain that he forgot about Lin Wan?]
[So, Lin Wan did go out to look for Xuanxuan. At least she has some humanity.]
[*Face smacking at the speed of light* Hahahaha! Who sent that message to Li Yanchen?! Does he want to cut that person to pieces right about now?]
Li Yanchen raised his chin and sighed helplessly. He took out his phone.
“Boss, the young master has claustrophobia! He looks like he had a relapse,” said Assistant Qin. Li Yanchen could not be bothered to reply.
After Xiao Yi returned home, he sat at the kitchen table and fell into a daze. Li Zexuan had claustrophobia and his father didn’t even notice it. However, he had promised Li Zexuan that he would keep his secret. He wondered if he should really inform Li Zexuan’s family about it.
“Xiao Yi, what are you thinking about? You’ve been lost in your thoughts all day.” Xia Mo, who was setting up the firewood, saw that her son had a blank expression on his face.
“It’s… just a math problem. I am just thinking about that,” Xiao Yi lied.
“Flip the vegetables, they’re going to burn.” Her son often got engrossed in his own thoughts, so Xia Mo did not doubt him.
At Tutu’s house, Xu Xiaoxiao prepared some milk for Tutu before his nap. But Tutu refused. His father was arriving soon, so he wanted to wait for him. He wanted to go and play with Li Zekai until then
“Drink some milk before you go.” Xu Xiaoxiao took the cup and handed it to Tutu.
Tutu drank it in one go and took his beloved little toy tank to Li Zekai’s house.
Li Zekai was worried that he would have no one to play with. His brothers had fought. Although they had made up again, they both looked very aloof. They probably won’t want to play with him this afternoon.
“Jiejie, let’s play tank together,” said Tutu, yawning.
“I found a fun place. I’ll take you there.” Li Zekai thought of the small sandpit in the backyard.
“Dad, I’m going to play with Tutu at the sandpit. If you need anything, you can find us there,” Li Zekai informed Li Yanchen.
[The Cub is so obedient today. Is it because he knows that Li Yanchen is in a bad mood and doesn’t want to cause trouble?]
[Little Jiejie has always been like this. Why does Tutu look so sleepy? Xu Xiaoxiao didn’t attend the welcoming ceremony of Anan’s family in the morning and said that Tutu was still sleeping.]
[Tutu seems to have been sleeping all the time these days.]
[It’s true. Look, he is still yawning.]
[If he’s sick, the Festival Group will find out. Don’t worry.]
At Tutu’s House, Xu Xiaoxiao’s palms were sweating. Tutu had gone out after drinking the milk. ‘Will he fall asleep in the Li family’s house?’
[Xu Xiaoxiao has been so relaxed these last two days. Tutu is either sleeping or playing at someone else’s house.]
[Tutu’s change made me realize something. Naughty children are all spoiled by their parents.]
[Yes, yes, yes! He is quite obedient when his father is not around.]
[Xu Xiaoxiao’s the only one left. There’s nothing to see. Let’s go, sisters.]
Without Tutu in the live broadcast room, people deserted it one after another. Fortunately, Su Wei had already boarded the plane and would be back before dinner if nothing unexpected happened.
After the meal at Wheatley’s house, Nannan cleaned up the dishes while praising Wheatley’s cooking skills. It was the first time that Nannan had eaten her daughter’s food, so she took dozens of photos.
Anan was usually very picky about her food. But today, she was very well-behaved. She wanted to go and meet Li Zexuan so she was being obedient. However, when she reached the Li family’s house, Li Zexuan was taking a nap, so she went to the sandpit to find Li Zekai.
There were no cameras in the sandpit. Tutu was growing more and more sleepy. His eyes drooped.
“Tutu, you dropped your little tank,” Anan reminded him, but the little boy didn’t seem to hear her. He lay down on the sandpit and snored.
Li Zekai couldn’t carry Tutu, so he called for his father. “Daddy, Tutu is too tired. He fell asleep. Can you carry him home?”
Li Yanchen picked up the child. He was heavier than Li Zekai.
When Xu Xiaoxiao saw Li Yanchen walking to her house carrying Tutu in his arms, she felt flustered. She forced herself to be calm.
“He is asleep again?” she said. “He was crying the whole night and making a fuss for his father. He didn’t sleep well. Seems like the lack of sleep caught up with him.”
Li Yanchen put the child down on the bed and walked out without saying a word.
In the sandpit, Anan saw Li yanchen leave with Tutu. She couldn’t meet Li zexuan either. So, she went back home.
Li Zekai washed his face and ran into the house to find Lin Wan.
Lin Wan was on the sofa, sitting in a daze. Although she had said that she wanted to take a nap, her mind was filled with thoughts on how to return to her original world. She didn’t feel sleepy at all.
“Auntie, are you alright? I want to ask you a question.” The boy took off his shoes and climbed onto the sofa beside Lin Wan.
“Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me? Just pretend that I am asleep.”
“Auntie, you’re not asleep yet. This is very important. I think Tutu has been poisoned by the evil stepmother,” said Li Zekai.
When Lin Wan heard the word ‘evil stepmother’, she felt that the child was referring to her.
“You want me to scold, don’t you?”
Li Zekai then realized that Lin Wan was also a stepmother. If he talked bad about other people’s stepmothers to her, would Lin Wan help Xu Xiaoxiao? However, he felt that even if he told Li Yanchen, his father wouldn’t care. After spending the past few days with her, Li Zekai realized that Lin Wan might be lazy, but she was still good. So, he decided to tell Lin Wan first.
Li Zekai’s small hands shook, and a shadow appeared on his face. “No. I don’t mean you. Aren’t you a messenger of justice?”
Lin Wan tapped on Li Zekai’s forehead. “Tell me. What is it?”
The little boy repeated his story to her with eagerness. Lin Wan was stunned. She whispered something into Li Zekai’s ear.
“Alright.” Li Zekai nodded.
