Auntie Huang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Wan.

“It’s the end of the year. Mr. Li is going to give out bonuses. Auntie Huang, you should go. This is a good thing,” Lin Wan said.

‘I actually wanted to ask Auntie Huang why she always took Lin Wan’s side, but now that Lin Wan mentioned the bonus, I feel stupid to bring it up. Auntie Huang has worked all year long and deserves a bonus.’

Auntie Huang didn’t think that was the case. Did she misunderstand him?

“Mr. Li, no need to be polite. The salary you give me is enough. You even take me out to eat sometimes. It’s enough for me,” said Auntie Huang.

Lin Wan gave her a thumbs-up.

“Mr. Li, although Auntie Huang says so, you should still be considerate. Even between close brothers, we settle accounts. Auntie Huang is like a member of our family and has contributed so much. Rewarding her is only fair,” Lin Wan said.

“Yes, it must be rewarded. I’ll inform the finance department,” Li Yanchen said, but he felt something was off. He wanted to ask Auntie Huang why she treated Lin Wan more favorably than him, but before he could ask, Lin Wan had already led him into a trap.

“Auntie Huang, can you come with me? I have something private to ask you.”

“Sure.”

Auntie Huang followed Li Yanchen to the sunroom, and Lin Wan stood by the window. She was trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, but their voices were barely audible.

Li Yanchen looked anxious.

“Mr. 1.41, just say wnat’s on your mina.” Auntie Huang couldn’t Dear tne awkward silence.

“Do you all think I’m not good enough for Wanwan? Do you all prefer her over me?” asked Li Yanchen. “If Wanwan and I fell into a river at the same time, who would you save first?”

“Huh?” Auntie Huang was surprised.

A deadly combination of three questions. She didn’t know how to proceed.

Auntie Huang gulped nervously. Truth be told, she really liked Lin Wan. The young masters also preferred Lin Wan. Everyone knew that Lin Wan’s arrival had turned this house into a home. She was the source of light and happiness.

However, she was also a person with a conscience. Li Yanchen paid her salary. He had never treated her unfairly as her employer, even before Lin Wan joined the family.

Compared to other housekeepers in Royal Water Bay, her salary was higher, and she was treated better. According to other housekeepers, Li Yanchen was an ideal employer. They often asked her to recommend them if the Li family ever needed an extra housekeeper.

“Mr. Li, I can only speak for myself. Both I and Lin Wan are women, and women prefer women. The young masters prefer you,” Auntie Huang said.

“What do I need to improve?” Li Yanchen asked.

“Huh? You don’t need to improve. You’re good. It’s just that… Lin Wan is better,” Auntie Huang said.

Li Yanchen was speechless.

Although they all feel that his status is lower than Lin Wan’s, he wanted to make an effort to improve. However, it seemed his efforts would be in vain.

“Is there a possibility that I can be just as important as Wanwan? Li Yanchen hoped that Auntie Huang would say something comforting.

“Mr. Li, in our hometown, there’s a saying… No two bowls of water are the same. It means that it’s impossible to treat everyone in exactly the same way.” Li Yanchen was at a loss for words.

“I understand. You can go about your business.” Li Yanchen sighed and got up.

He was deep in thought.

When Auntie Huang came out of the sunroom, Lin Wan was waiting outside. “Is he jealous again?”

“Madam, you really understand Mr. Li. Lately, he’s been acting more and more like a child. I think Mr. Li is someone who lacks love and constantly feels like he will lose it,” Auntie Huang said and glanced at the sunroom where Li Yanchen sat alone.

“I’ll go talk to him.” Lin Wan thought Li Yanchen was just joking about everything, but it seemed he was just seeking a bit of attention from his family. He was sincerely seeking more love.

Back in the living room, Auntie Huang continued to tidy up, while Lin Wan sat with her husband in the sunroom.

“Honey, we all love you very much.”

Li Yanchen leaned on Lin Wan’s shoulder. “I know, but I’m afraid that one day you all will stop loving me. After all, I’m not a person with the best personality.”

Lin Wan patted his chest. “Do you want me to beat you to death with my little fists? Why are you saying such things?”

“You see, Xinxin already calls you “mom.” He even has a group of friends fighting to do the same. But they call me Mr. Li.”

Lin Wan shrugged. “Is it such a great thing to be called “Mom”? It makes me feel like I have aged ten years more. I prefer being called an older sister.” “Honey, you’re showing off again.”

“No, I think it’s just a form of address. Just say whatever comes to mind. Whether they call me Ms. Lin, Sister Lin, or Auntie Lin, I like them all. It’s like how I call you “Hubby,” or sometimes Mr. Li. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a habit. ”

“That… makes sense.”

“Don’t overthink it. The kids love you, and Auntie Huang loves you too.”

Li Yanchen felt more at ease. “Okay, let’s go for a walk.” “Sure.”

The two walked hand in hand.

At Yun Xi Junior High School, the boys who had just finished eating were in a good mood.

Chubby Jiang hooked his arm around Li Zexin’s shoulder. “Xinxin, I’m going to come to your place for a few days during winter vacation.”

Preserved Egg was shocked. “What?! Why? In the past, Xinxin always came to our place. Why is Xinxin’s house so attractive all of a sudden?”

Li Zexin was speechless.

Big Mouth nodded in agreement.

“No,” said Li Zexin.

“You heartless guy! Just think about how we accommodated you in the two previous winter vacations! ” said Chubby Jiang.

“We won’t be freeloading. I’ll bring some snacks and food,” said Preserved Egg.

“I’ll bring money.”

“I’ll just bring my mom. My mom always heard me praise Sister Lin a lot. She has been wanting to meet her.”

Li Zexin was stunned. Weren’t his roommates already bothersome? Now, they wanted to bring their family into it too!

“Don’t be so stingy. We know the way to your place. It’s better for everyone to be happy.”

“Fine! I’ll think about it and confirm with you later.”

At Yun Xi Elementary School, Li Zekai was sucking on a lollipop while watching “What If History Was a Cat?”

“Jiejie, we have a roller coaster ride next week. Will you come during the winter vacation?” a roommate asked.

Li Zekai didn’t even lift his head. “We’re going on a trip. We may only be back on New Year’s Eve.”

“What about after the Spring Festival?”

“Probably not. We have to go to the countryside to stay with Grandma for a while. ”

“Okay.” The roommate sighed despondently.

“If I have time, I’ll call you. Don’t be sad,” Li Zekai said with a smile as he pinched his friend’s cheek.

At Yun Xi High School, during the evening self-study class, the teacher made an announcement.

“Class, tomorrow afternoon, we’ll finish at three in the afternoon. Take the letters for your parents that are on your respective tables back home.”

Everyone looked at the papers on the table. They were about high school application forms and a voluntary meeting..
