1329 Bringing An Additional Family Member (1/2)

Since they had spent the previous evening out with Ou Ming and Yu Lili, the children were left with their grandparents at the old manor. However, the activities planned for today were child-friendly. Su Qianci got up at 6 a.m. and hurried to the old manor to wake the children up.

The children were extremely excited when they heard they were going out for a picnic. It had, after all, been some time since they had gone out to play. Each of them began to don their favorite clothing and got prepared enthusiastically.

Such a commotion awoke Li Jinnan, who was enjoying this rare opportunity to be home. He got up and saw that the children were all dressed and packed up. With a laugh, he asked them, ”Where are you off to?”

”Uncle!” Li Jianyue saw Li Jinnan and ran over to him with her arms wide open. ”Carry me!”

Li Jinnan picked his niece up and asked, ”Where are Daddy and Mommy taking you to play?”

”We're going for a picnic with Auntie Lili, Uncle Ou Ming, and Uncle Luo Zhan… and… and many other uncles and aunties! Am I right, Mommy?” Li Jianyue looked to Su Qianci for affirmation. ”Will Uncle Lu be going? I haven't seen Uncle Lu in a long time. I miss him.”

Kids said the darndest things, indeed.

When that innocent little voice called for ”Uncle Lu,” Li Sicheng, who was seated at the couch, turned his head over to look.

Su Qianci instinctively turned to glance at Li Sicheng when she heard what Li Jianyue said. She knew very well that Li Sicheng did not like hearing Lu Yihan's name. That was why she rarely mentioned that person when at home.

Li Jianyue had no idea of the awkwardness she had caused among the grownups and continued, ”Uncle Lu used to come often to play with us. Why doesn't he come by anymore, Mommy? Can we visit Uncle Lu and play with him?”

When Su Qianci heard that, she gave a quick and instinctive glance at Li Sicheng before replying to her daughter. ”Uncle Lu has been very busy lately. He has to take care of his business and earn lots of money so that he can find a wife. Mommy will call Uncle Lu over to visit you when he has the time.”
