When Li Sicheng heard that, he turned his head and gave Ou Ming a look.

The look was icy and as it swept over Ou Ming, and it weakened the smile on his face. Ou Ming cleared his throat and stated, “Your parenting isn’t too bad. It fosters familial closeness!”

Li Sicheng looked away and lowered his voice, “Well said.” Turning his attention to his daughter, he said, “Little one, I’m already a grown up. I’m different from you.”

“You are different. Daddy, you’re a grown-up, but you’re still acting like a little child. You’re not mature at all!” Li Jianyue pouted and continued, “You can’t be like that!”

Li Sicheng stopped smiling and twisted her nose lightly. “Go have some dessert with your brothers. Let Daddy talk to Uncle.”

“Can’t I eat here?” Li Jianyue gave Li Sicheng a doe-eyed look.

“Sure. Eat here, then.” Yu Lili waved her hands and called out, “Qianqian! Let me help you serve the food.”

“Great.” Su Qianci nodded her head. She put the bowl of sweet soup on the table and proceeded to dish them out into smaller bowls for the children.

Li Sicheng looked towards Ou Ming and asked, “You were looking for me?”

“Not exactly. I just wanted to bring Yu Lili to meet the children.” Ou Ming looked at the little girl seated beside Li Sicheng. “Your daughter isn’t like you at all.”

Li Jianyue looked like Su Qianci, but her character was completely different from Li Sicheng, and she had an extremely glib tongue.

It would be pretty good to have a daughter.

Ou Ming started to piece together Yu Lili’s features and his in his mind. If her character took after Yu Lili’s, he’d be finished. There’s no way he’d be able to manage two princesses.

Perhaps it would be better to have a son instead. Second Brother’s sons were well behaved; they weren’t mischievous, and they were smart.

As he thought about it, he looked towards Yu Lili. Yu Lili was biting back a smile, and she looked back at Ou Ming at the same time.

Ou Ming chuckled and asked, “Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. What are your plans?”

“What other plans can we have? We’ll take the kids back to our parents’ and welcome in the New Year together.” Li Sicheng took a small bowl of sweet soup from Si Qianci, and he tested the temperature with his own lips before feeding it to his daughter.

“Be careful, it’s hot. Eat it slowly,” he warned.

“Okay!” Li Jianyue held the bowl in both hands and started drooling at the sight of the sweet soup.

Li Jianqian and Li Mosen wanted a share too, and they eyed Li Jianyue’s bowl eagerly.

This was just how this family was. Whatever was delicious, and fun was given to the mother and daughter first, followed by the two boys, and lastly the father.

When they observed Li Jianyue digging in, the two boys looked pleadingly over at Su Qianci.

“Have the both of you finished your homework yet?” Li Sicheng questioned them.

“Yes!” Li Jianqian and Li Mosen answered in unison. With that, they both ran up the stairs to their room.

Su Qianci was alarmed and shouted after them, “Be careful! Don’t fall!”

“We won’t!” Li Jianqian replied, and the both of them disappeared upstairs.

Ou Ming witnessed the behavior of the two boys and gave Li Sicheng a big thumbs-up.

Yu Lili then commented, “You’re being too obvious in favoring the daughter over the sons! Being a daughter in your family is so awesome!”

It wasn’t just Ou Ming and Yu Lili who felt that way. Even Su Qianci agreed that Li Sicheng favored his daughter too much over his sons, and protested, “Don’t spoil her too much! Otherwise, what’s going to happen in the future?”
