Chapter 524: Chapter 517: The Lively Yun Mansion
Sisi actually had some doubts about this Song Xiaowei. Hearing from Tian Shouhua, this Song Xiaowei was talented and good-looking, with no flaws at all, simply perfect. Could such an outstanding man really fall in love at first sight with Tian Lili?
According to Tian Shouhua, Song Xiaowei met Tian Lili at an ordinary friends’ gathering. He was smitten with the lively and straightforward Tian Lili at first sight, asked a colleague to introduce them, and just like that, they started dating.
One is a flawless prince!
The other is Cinderella’s sister!
It all seemed a bit off.
However, she dared not voice these doubts because if Xu Qianwen heard them, she would definitely say sourly:
"Ah Nan, don’t be a sourpuss just because you can’t eat the grapes. Our Lili has good looks, a nice personality, and a respectable job. She’s more than a match for a prince. I think you’re just jealous that our Lili is getting married to someone better than you could!"
Sisi could have guessed those words with her toes.
That evening, when Sisi found some free time, she spoke about these doubts to Tian Xinhua. Tian Xinhua found it amusing, "You really are more anxious than the Emperor himself; if her own mother has no objections, why do you care so much?"
"But if there really is a problem, Third Uncle will be heartbroken."
Sisi wasn’t truly worried for Tian Lili. But out of respect for Tian Aiguo’s feelings, she felt she should make an effort.
After some thought, Tian Xinhua said: "Alright, I’ll send someone to inquire about it. You have so much free time worrying about others, better spend more time worrying about your husband!"
With that, Tian Xinhua flipped over and pressed down on Sisi. The little fellow was sleeping with Granny Zhao tonight; he was determined to have a good time all night long.
Before long, the room filled with the sound of shy moans and soft growls, so much so that even the moon hid behind the clouds.
The result of a night of overexertion was not being able to get up the next day. As usual, Tian Xinhua got up early to practice boxing, while Sisi was fast asleep, occasionally hearing the sound of ’Mama’ in her ears and feeling droplets of water on her face.
Sisi cried inwardly, wanting to cry without tears—couldn’t they let a person sleep in peace?
Barely opening her eyes, her son was sprawled on top of her, happily playing, his chubby little hands constantly pinching her ears, his big head close to Sisi’s face, continuously calling out ’Mama’ as if urging Sisi to get up.
But with every call from Du Du, a droplet of clear saliva would fall, raining down on Sisi’s face.
Sisi, feeling disgusted, rubbed her face vigorously against the kid’s clothes to wipe it off. This Du Du, everything about him was great except for his drooling. She had no idea what was up with that.
Du Du thought Sisi was playing with him and started giggling delightedly, hugging Sisi’s head with both hands, his little mouth continually covering Sisi’s face in saliva, clearly insisting that Sisi rub her face on his clothes again.
Mother and son thus began to frolic on the bed, and the room was filled with joyous laughter from time to time. Both Old Man and Granny Zhao listened with knowing smiles. They were advanced in years and always loved having a happy home; hearing the little one’s laughter every day, they felt their moods lift and their lifespans might even extend a few more years.
Xu Qianwen walked out of the kitchen. She was teaching Tian Lili how to make breakfast, and as soon as she came out, she saw Granny Zhao’s smile, which was a stark contrast to the scolding face she had in the kitchen just now, which immediately soured her mood.
"Dad, Mama, how come Ah Nan still loves to sleep in after having a child, just like when she was little? Our Lili has already been up for an hour!"
As soon as the Old Man and Granny Zhao heard this, they were uncomfortable. Granny Zhao huffed, "Ah Nan is proficient in all kinds of work in the kitchen, but Lili can’t even make a decent meal that’s fit to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianwen’s face stiffened, and without saying another word, she went back to the kitchen to continue guiding Tian Lili in making breakfast. Granny Zhao huffed again and said to the Old Man, "Lili has been spoiled by that superficial person. Now she is in a hurry. What was she doing earlier? Hmph!"
The Old Man sighed and said to Granny Zhao, "Spend more effort on training Lili in this period. Regardless of whether we have a wedding this year or not, Lili can’t get married the way she is. Isn’t this losing face for our Old Tian Family?"
"I know, just relax, I will make sure to train that good-for-nothing girl well," Granny Zhao said with certainty.
In the kitchen, where Tian Lili was mixing the side dishes, she suddenly shuddered and glanced out the window, puzzled. There was no wind! Who was talking about her?
Tian Lili didn’t know that from then on, her good life would be gone forever!
After having the breakfast that was said to be personally prepared by Miss Tian Lili, Tian Xinhua took Sisi and Du Du to Yun Mansion, also bringing along some special products from Huang Yuan, such as jujubes, buckwheat noodles, and buckwheat, etc.
Kang Mianhua was already six months pregnant, and her belly was bigger than Sisi’s when she was close to giving birth, which looked quite alarming.
Due to her special work circumstances, Kang Mianhua started maternity leave after three months and has been waiting to give birth at home, taken care of by Niu Erniu.
Yun Mansion has also been quite lively during this time, having several more children around, including Luo Datou’s great-grandchildren and among them Luo Jun’s son, named Luo Lie, also called little leopard, two years old this year. He looked just like his great-grandfather, especially when he had a stern face and glaring eyes – the spitting image of a little Luo Datou.
Genetics are truly amazing!
Sisi was almost shocked out of her wits when she saw little leopard, especially because this little Luo Datou was riding on big Luo Datou’s shoulders, creating a striking contrast in size, which was quite amusing.
Luo Datou was particularly fond of his great-grandson who resembled him closely. The little guy was brought over as soon as he was weaned, upon his strong insistence. Although Luo Jun and his wife were reluctant, they could not disobey the family patriarch’s orders.
Because of this, Luo Jun had even called Tian Xinhua and Sisi several times to complain about the hardship! But when he learned that Tian Xinhua’s son would also be sent to Yun Mansion, this guy felt suddenly relieved and said annoyingly, "No worries, my little leopard is older than your Du Du and will take care of him."
Sisi thought snidely: With her Du Du’s devilish temperament, who knows who would be protecting whom?
There were several other children of different ages, both boys and girls. The oldest were seven or eight years old, and the youngest were three or four. With seven to eight children gathered together, they brought a lot of life to the traditionally quiet Yun Mansion.
However, Sisi noticed that neither Niu Erniu nor Luo Datou seemed very welcoming to these children.
Niu Erniu whispered to Sisi, "The more children there are at home, the more conflicts arise. Your uncle and I are not young anymore, and we don’t have the energy to look after them. After the summer holidays, we’ll let them go back to their respective homes. Anyway, the master said to let only your uncle and me take care of little leopard, Du Du, and Chengsi’s child. The others can come and stay a few days at most during holidays."
Sisi was very moved upon hearing this. Niu Erniu had never taken care of even her own grandchild, but now she was rejecting the Luos’ children for the sake of her Du Du. She couldn’t help but wonder if Niu Erniu’s grandchildren would have any objections.
