Li Sicheng waited until all the children had gone upstairs before he picked up the bowl of sweet soup that Su Qianci laid in front of him and took a sip.

Ou Ming looked straight at him and asked in surprise, “I thought you didn’t like sweet foods?”

Li Sicheng rolled his eyes at Ou Ming when he heard that and retorted, “What do you know? What my wife cooks is especially tasty.”

Si Qianci blushed slightly, and her ears reddened as she interjected, “Not at all. He’s just talking nonsense.”

But Ou Ming saw that Li Sicheng meant what he had said. Taking that comment with a pinch of salt anyway, he lifted the bowl to his lips and took a sip.

Li Sicheng stared at Ou Ming intently, ready to pounce if Ou Ming dared to utter any negative criticisms. In response, Ou Ming nodded sincerely and looked at Su Qianci. “It’s tasty indeed! Very delicious! My sister-in-law can really cook!”

Su Qianci blushed even more and smacked Li Sicheng playfully.

Li Sicheng blinked and took another mouthful. “Wifey,” he called out.

“Yeah?” Su Qianci looked towards Li Sicheng, her eyebrows raised in question.

“Do you think Mosen has taken a liking to our daughter?”

“What sort of liking are you referring to?” Su Qianci widened her eyes at Li Sicheng. “How is that possible? They’re siblings!”

“He knows that he’s not biologically related to us. He’s always timid in his interaction with us. Even though he doesn’t say anything, his actions are always very careful. Did you notice that?” Li Sicheng stated plainly, his expression belying the thoughts that were running through his mind.

“That’s impossible. He treats her as his younger sister. Furthermore, he’s so young. How would he know anything about that?” Su Qianci was resolute in her refutation. “Don’t overthink things. The kids are still young.”

Yu Lili felt that Li Sicheng was overthinking the situation as well and added her opinion. “That child is Tang Mengying’s, isn’t he? He’s barely five this year. So he won’t have such feelings. Isn’t it normal for an older brother to treat his younger sister well?”

Conversely, when Ou Ming heard the exchange, his eyebrows rose. The memory of Li Mosen saying ‘no way’ in unison with Li Sicheng came to his mind.

At that moment, he had thought that Li Mosen was an extremely considerate child despite his young age. But now that Li Sicheng mentioned it, it did seem like there was a hint of something else present indeed.

But, he was still such a young child. Was it really possible for him to have such feelings?

After some thought, Ou Ming spoke up, “I, on the other hand, think it might actually be possible. Your daughter is so pretty and so cute. What boy wouldn’t like her?”

Li Sicheng was happy that someone finally understood what he was trying to say. “Right? You think so too, don’t you? I think we really shouldn’t let them share a room anymore. Ersu was right. Boys and girls should keep a distance. This isn’t very appropriate.”

“Ersu kicks her covers off in her sleep. She cannot sleep alone.” Su Qianci looked at Li Sicheng and told him. “Mosen covers Ersu with the blanket at night. Sometimes, when Dasu wakes up in the middle of the night to get a drink, he’ll cover her with the blanket too. If it were up to you, your daughter would freeze to death!”

Li Sicheng ignored the rebuke in her voice and suggested, “We’ll just buy a sleeping bag and zip her up inside. Then we’ll let her out again in the morning. Wouldn’t that work then?”

Su Qianci glared at him and gave him a hard kick on the shin. “Are you bringing up a kid or an animal? That’s our daughter!”

Li Sicheng rubbed his shin and raised his eyebrows in protest. He spoke up even more assuredly, “That actually isn’t a bad idea. I’ll order a few sleeping bags later. They’ll each have one, and they can all just sleep in separate rooms.”
