Chapter 227: Do You Want to Spend Some Alone Time with Daddy?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jian Jia picked up his fork, picked up a beef rib, and gave it to Li Zekai. “Jiejie, try this. This is delicious. Daddy has been preparing it since noon.”

Li Zekai took a small bite. “It’s so tender and fragrant. Uncle Luo Xi is very good at cooking. My dad only knows how to cook vegetables.”

[Is Jiejie trying to ruin Mr. Li’s reputation? I am dying of laughter. Mr. Li would never allow anyone to disrespect him in such a way. Jiejie, just wait till your father gets back.]

[Brother Luo Xi has always been better than Li Yanchen. Luo Xi is young, successful, kind, and knows how to cook delicious food. Li Yanchen is older than him and is very rich, but he is always cold and aloof.]

[What do you know? He is old and calm. Besides, can Luo Xi even compare to him financially?]

[He is young right now. When he reaches thirty-something, how do you know he won’t be as rich as Li Yanchen?]

[Why are there so many fans of Li Yanchen in this livestream room, anyway?

Get out!]

[I am a fan of the show. I have been attending all the livestream rooms.]

[Me Too. I’m not anyone’s fan. However, seeing how you all are comparing the two, I can say that I like Mr. Li more.]

[Then go to whoever you like. Why are you here? We like Brother Luo Xi, so we are here.]

Whenever someone commented about Luo Xi, someone else was bound to bring up Li Yanchen in the bullet screen.

Li Zekai’s small bowl was filled with food. It wasn’t just Jian Jia, even Luo Xi was constantly putting food in his little bowl. Luo Xi’s voice was gentle, and he always smiled. This was why children liked him the most.

After eating, the two children played with throw balls in the courtyard.

Li Zexuan and Xiao Yi started cooking at Xiao Yi’s house. The staff was a little worried when they saw Xiao Yi start a fire to cook. They went to check up on them, but they were completely fine.

Li Zexuan didn’t know how to cook, so he was in charge of washing the vegetables. Since the adults weren’t around, the two of them made some vegetable porridge. Although there weren’t any other stir-fried vegetable dishes, they were satisfied with what they had made.

When they ate, Xiao Yi recalled Li Zexin. “Will your brother be able to get into Yun Xi High School? I have a lot of test papers stored on my computer. I can send you a copy, and you can give it to your brother when you get back home.”

Li Zexin’s grades in the first and second year of high school were very bad. However, he had drastically improved in the final year. He even dedicated all his time to studying. It was possible for him to make it into Yun Xi High School, after all.

“I think he can make it,” said Li Zexuan. “Also, thank you for the offer.”

“Give me your email address.” Other than the test papers, Xiao Yi had also developed a new set of learning methods and timetables for Li Zexin.

“I think you have really motivated Xinxin. Ever since you agreed to accept him as a substitute, he has been working very hard. In the past, when my father insisted on hiring a tutor for him, he would resist. Now, he works hard without anybody telling him to.”

Xiao Yi ate a few mouthfuls of porridge and smiled.

[The Wind God and Xuanxuan are talking about Xinxin. The Wind God still thinks of Xinxin! ]

[Can he share the test papers with us too? My son is also in the third year of junior high. He is average in his studies. I am afraid he won’t be able to get into a decent high school.]

[Please share it with us too! Someone in my family is also in the first year of junior high, but I am already worried.]

Xiao Yi and Li Zexuan focused on their food and didn’t look at the bullet screen. After dinner, Li Zexuan washed the dishes.

At Feifei’s house, Tao Jingyuan made beef curry omelet rice. Feifei liked anything his mother made. He held the big bowl of food, and his face was covered in curry sauce. After he finished eating, he didn’t even wipe his face. He hurried off to find Li Zekai.

At Wheatley’s house, Nannan was happy. Contrary to the second episode, she had become much more open-minded and was able to accept her defeat.

“It’s alright as long as we are all together as a family,” said Nannan as she hugged Wheatley.

“Auntie, do you want to spend some alone time with Daddy?” Wheatley asked.

After the competition had ended and the staff had announced the reward, Wheatley had been thinking about something. Ever since Nannan had married her father, her stepmother had taken on a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

Nannan was always there for her. She dropped her off and picked her up from school, helped her with her homework, and always encouraged her. Wheatley sometimes felt that Nannan treated her better than her own mother. But she was very reluctant to admit it. She felt that if she accepted Nannan, her mother might never come back.

Wheatley vaguely remembered her mother. She always recalled her sitting at the piano. However, whenever she asked her mother if she could play with her, her mother would snap back at her to not disturb her focus.

Wheatley hadn’t finished kindergarten when her mother disappeared. Her father said that her mother had gone to pursue her dream. Her father had brought someone home and then told her that she would be her new mother.

Wheatley couldn’t accept it. She called her “Auntie”.

In the first two years, Wheatley kept pointing out faults in Nannan, no matter how good she was to her. However, she would be very polite to her in her father’s presence.

Nannan was stunned by Wheatley’s question. ‘Alone time?’ thought Nannan. She realized that it had been a long time since she had spent some alone time with Michael.

When they had married, Wheatley was very little. Michael wanted to send her to her grandparent’s place for a while, but Nannan pitied the child. Wheatley had been only six then. She told Michael to let the child stay with them.

Nannan loved Wheatley with all her heart. However, she realized that no matter what she did, Wheatley seemed wary of her. She didn’t mind it. Her relationship with Wheatley wasn’t very good in the first episode, but they pretended to be a loving mother-daughter pair anyway.

Nannan was silent.

“That’s alright,” said Michael. “When you get older and live on campus, we will be alone every day. Right now, we want to spend time with you.”

“What about Auntie? You’ve been taking care of me for so many years, do you feel tired?” Wheatley wanted to know what Nannan felt.

Nannan slowly raised her head. “No,” she said. “I will never get tired of you. I have long since accepted you as my own daughter.”

Nannan didn’t say anything further.

“Do you remember the time when Nannan came home from buying some goods? You fell down the stairs and hurt yourself. Your feet were covered in blood,” said Michael. “Nannan was so scared at that time. After she took you to the hospital, she called me and kept crying on the phone. She said she would never be able to forgive herself if something happened to you. Look at the soles of Auntie’s feet.”

Nannan tried to dissuade him, but he was firm.

“Why is there a scar?” asked Wheatley. She was stunned.

“When she took you to the hospital, she was too worried and anxious. She forgot to wear her shoes. She must have cut herself along the way. I was at the City Gym. When I reached the hospital, Nannan just bandaged her feet and never left your side.”

“There are many things she doesn’t let me tell you,” said Michael. “But Wheatley, she loves you very much.” Michael looked at Nannan with love and gratitude. “Nannan, thank you. Only your presence has made me understand what a real home feels like.”

“Shush… don’t say anything more,” said Nannan. “What matters is that we are a family, and we are together.”

Wheatley hugged Nannan tightly. “I am sorry.” She sobbed. “I know that you have always been so good to me. I know that my mother will never come back.”

Nannan turned the camera to the other side. ‘Wheatley, that’s alright. Don’t cry. We will always be together, okay?”

[Is Wheatley’s mother not around? She is lucky to find a good mother like

Nannan.]

[Nannan, thank you for loving our baby so much!]
