Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Jianlin is 11 years old — a year younger than Li Moyun.

However, he looked quite a bit taller than Li Moyun.

Li Moyun had originally been quite dashing. However, after staying at the Old Manor for more than a month, he had been fed so much that he'd become fat and round.

When he saw Li Jianlin, Li Moyun felt aggravated.

He walked up, sat beside Li Jianlin, and said, "Jianlin, your mom's cooking is so delicious. Why are you not fat from eating it?"

Li Jianlin's appearance was outstanding. His prominent facial features were inherited from Li Jinnan's masculinity while his eyes were from Ye Youyou's, kind and quiet.

When he heard Li Moyun's remark, he smiled and replied, "Perhaps it's because I don't eat everything that others shove to me."

Li Moyun was speechless.

Complex emotions rose within him and after staring at Li Jianlin for a moment, he sighed and said, "Jianlin, you've gone astray."

Li Jianlin looked at him resolutely. "Not at all. I've always been astray."

Li Moyun had no retort for that.

Love no longer existed for him in this world!

Li Jianyue and Li Mosen heartlessly burst out laughing when they witnessed the expression on Li Moyun's face.

When Qin Shuhua saw that, she simply smiled and said, "Look at the both of you, laughing so happily. Hurry! Wash your hands and get ready for lunch."

With that, she placed the dish she was holding onto down on the table and turned to look at Li Jianlin. "Jianlin," she called out, "call your dad over for lunch."

"Alright, Grandma," Li Jianlin stood up and hurriedly made his way over to knock on the door of his room.

The door was tightly shut. So, Li Jianlin knocked on it twice and called out, "Dad Mom, it's time for lunch."

A voice promptly answered from the inside, "Coming!"

It was Ye Youyou's voice.

Upon hearing the reply, Li Jianlin answered, "I'm going first then!"

"Alright!"

Upon answering, Ye Youyou turned around impatiently and patted the person behind her. "Are you done?" she urged.

"Why are you so impatient?" With meticulous movement, Li Jinnan twisted her hair into a beautiful braid before reaching his hand out to her. "Hair tie?" he asked.

Ye Youyou handed the hair tie over to him and Li Jinnan carefully secured her braid with it, looking very pleased with himself.

As he gazed at his dear wife in the mirror, he felt happy and blessed.

He leaned over and planted a kiss on her cheek. "My wife is so beautiful," he said.

Ye Youyou looked smug. "Of course!" she replied.

"Young and beautiful. You don't look a day over 18."

His words, while intended to flatter, carried much truth in them.

Ye Youyou had preserved her youth very well and maintained a happy attitude. As a result, although she was soon approaching 37, she still looked very similar to how she had looked when he had just met her.

"Hmph!" Ye Youyou harrumphed with a smile, "What a smooth tongue you have! I'll be content as long as you don't use it on other young ladies! Come on, Dad, Mom and the children are all waiting for us."

When Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou emerged, everyone was already seated at the table, waiting for them to arrive before starting the meal.

The old square table in the manor had long been replaced by a bigger round table. Atop the marble tabletop was a turntable. It was filled with a wide array of dishes of various colors, and a medley of aroma filled the air.

The moment Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou came out, the children immediately greeted them, "Uncle! Aunt!"

When Li Jinnan spotted Li Jianqian, he pointed at him and said, "Good going, boy. You've grown up and become even better-looking than I!"

Li Jianqian did not shy away from the compliment. Magnanimously, he replied, "You're still way better looking, Uncle."

Li Jinnan burst out laughing. "You're very wise indeed!" Then, he turned and nudge Li Jianlin before commenting, "You could learn a thing or two from him."

Li Jianlin felt unjustly chided, and after a moment's silence, he replied, "I often learn how to swear at others while playing online games with him."

Li Jianqian was speechless.

As expected, the very next moment, Li Jinnan's eyes darted towards him.
