Chapter 121
121 Chapter 120, Entertain Someone With Borrowed Items
The two of them were standing in front of a men’s clothing store. Li Yong was smiling as the lady was talking about something.
The lady had her back to Li Xu and the others, but Li Yong was facing them sideways.
Therefore, Li Xu and the others could clearly identify Li Yong, but they couldn’t see the lady’s face.
“Eh? That Auntie looks so familiar…” Ji Zi’ang suddenly said.
Zhang Kun was a little confused and subconsciously looked at Li Xu.
He saw Li Xu looking at Li Yong with a serious expression as if Li Yong had done something heinous.
Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment and then asked tentatively, “Do you want to go up and say hello?”
Li Xu nodded, “Let’s say hello and let Xiao Yong come for dinner tonight.”
Her expression remained cold as she spoke.
Zhang Kun thought to himself, ‘Isn’t Li Xu always thinking of letting Li Yong find a girlfriend?’
Why is she unhappy that Li Yong is shopping with a girl now?
Zhang Kun did not know why Li Xu was angry, but Ji Yuanyuan knew.
She silently lit a candle for Li Yong in her heart. Second Uncle, pray for yourself!
She tightly held Li Xu’s hand and followed her footsteps.
Only Ji Zi’ang, who was brainless, could not tell that the girl’s back view was so familiar. It was clearly Qin Xiaomin!
Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin seemed to be very engrossed in their conversation and even did not notice when Li Xu walked up to them.
Although Li Xu was angry in her heart, at least she still had some manners.
When she was in front of Qin Xiaomin, she smiled and patted Qin Xiaomin’s shoulder.
“Xiaomin, is it really you? I thought I was mistaken!” Li Xu said with a smile.
Qin Xiaomin turned her head. The moment she saw Li Xu, her face turned slightly red and her expression was a little awkward.
“Sister Li, what a coincidence!”
Li Yong was shocked and took a deep breath. He held his chest and looked at Li Xu in a daze.
“I have a younger brother who has been in the army for eight years. He will come back after a few days. I was thinking of buying something for him!” When Li Xu spoke, she kept looking at Qin Xiaomin and didn’t even look at Li Yong.
Li Yong saw that Li Xu only cared about talking to Qin Xiaomin and didn’t pay attention to him. The expression on his face turned from dull to stiff.
“Us too…” Qin Xiaomin was a little hesitant.
“Sister, I’m also planning to buy two pieces of clothes for Big Brother. Xiaomin has good taste, so I asked her to find time to help me take a look!” Li Yong finally found a loophole to interrupt, so he quickly explained.
After Li Yong said that, Li Xu looked over.
“Okay, you guys go shopping. Bring Xiaomin to our house for dinner tonight. She sacrificed her weekend time to go shopping with you. You have to thank her.” When Li Xu spoke to Li Yong, the smile on her face faded a lot.
Zhang Kun echoed from the side, “I’ll cook tonight.”
Qin Xiaomin looked a little awkward. Although she had been to the Li family’s house many times before, she had always been there to accompany Qin Junshan.
She felt a little embarrassed to go alone.
“Sister Li, I have an appointment with my parents tonight. I have to go home for dinner, I’m really sorry. If I have time next time, I’ll treat you to dinner,” Qin Xiaomin politely declined.
Hearing Qin Xiaomin’s words, Li Xu’s expression was a little regretful, “That’s too bad. Since you have something to do, let’s do it another time!”
After saying that, she looked at Li Yong, “You have no plan, right? If you have nothing to do, come over for dinner. It’s just right that we can discuss Big Brother.”
Under Li Xu’s gaze, Li Yong didn’t dare to say that he had something to do. He could only nod, “It’s fine, it’s fine, I’ll go over after I’ve done shopping!”
“Alright then, you guys can continue shopping!” Li Xu only let Li Yong off after hearing that.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Xu and Zhang Kun left with the three children.
After taking a few steps, Ji Yuanyuan turned around to look.
He saw that Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin were still at the same spot. Li Yong was looking in the direction they had left with a somewhat annoyed expression, while Qin Xiaomin seemed to be at a loss.
Ji Yuanyuan hurriedly waved her hand at Li Yong, indicating for him to quickly go and explain to Qin Xiaomin.
Although her mother had acted as if everything was normal, Qin Xiaomin was a smart girl. She must have noticed something was wrong.
Li Yong only came back to his senses after Ji Yuanyuan’s reminder.
He turned his head and it was unknown what he say to Qin Xiaomin. After a moment, Qin Xiaomin’s expression became happy.
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief!
Although her Second Uncle said that he was not outstanding in other aspects, he was very sweet-tongued.
There was definitely no problem in coaxing the little girl to be happy.
“If you don’t watch where you’re going, you won’t even know when you hit a pillar!” At this moment, Li Xu muttered.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly retracted his gaze and looked up at Li Xu in a fawning manner, “Mom, I’ve thought of what I want for my birthday present!”
“What do you want?”
“I want lipstick!” Ji Yuanyuan raised her index finger.
Li Xu frowned, “You’re so young, what lipstick do you want?”
“Buy the lipstick, I want to give it to mom. So Mom can dress up beautifully every day. That’s my birthday wish!”
Hearing Ji Yuanyuan’s words, Li Xu could not help but laugh, “You’re the smart one!”
Ji Zi’ang blinked his eyes in confusion, “Is this what you call entertaining someone with borrowed items?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Zixuan reached out and covered his mouth, “If you don’t know how to speak, you can speak less!”
Li Xu looked over and could not help but laugh out loud.
In the end, Li Xu bought a set of clothes for Ji Yuanyuan, and Zhang Kun bought a stick of lipstick for Li Xu. After going home and having a simple meal, the children were left to take a nap at home. Li Xu and Zhang Kun went to the bicycle store together and bought a bicycle for Li Lei.
The two of them went to several places and visited several stores before they finally bought one.
After buying the bicycle, it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon when they went home.
The new bicycle was left downstairs. Li Xu was afraid that it would be stolen. So she carried the bicycle home with Zhang Kun.
She went up to the third floor without stopping, and Li Xu was slightly out of breath. Just as she was about to take out the key to open the door, the door opened from inside.
Li Yong’s smiling face appeared in front of Li Xu.
Li Xu’s face instantly turned cold, and she was about to move the bicycle with a silent expression.
Li Yong quickly said in a fawning manner, “Sister, Master, you’ve worked hard. Quickly go in and rest, I’ll take care of it…”
As he spoke, he had already reached out to hold the bicycle.
Li Xu raised her head and let go before entering the house.
Zhang Kun also let go and whispered to Li Yong, “I’ll give you a chance to perform!”
Li Yong smiled awkwardly. “Hehe, thank you, Master. Oh no, it’s Brother-in-law…”
Upon hearing the term brother-in-law, Zhang Kun gave him a satisfied expression and followed him into the house.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were obediently doing their homework in the bedroom. Ji Yuanyuan should have been chatting with Li Yong just now. At this moment, he was on the sofa and looking outside curiously.
Li Xu also sat down on the sofa and asked in a low voice, “When did your Second Uncle arrived?”
