Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 538: Wen Li’s Inevitable Temptation

In the face of housing prices, ghost rumors are nothing. Some people, to save money, even dare to buy houses where crimes have occurred.

What’s more, Sanjiang Garden is just a place with ghost rumors; there have been no victims, and no one has seen anything firsthand.

The young boss provided a clue from a different angle.

Tuanzi scratched her head, a bit conflicted.

"Miaomiao can’t analyze it anymore."

She looked to her friends for help, but seeing everyone was still busy eating, she had no choice but to seek help from the adults next door.

A few parents and the director were eating noodles in a noodle shop.

Several types of noodles were laid out on the table, including beef hand-pulled noodles, lamb mixed noodles, clear soup noodles, and spicy braised noodles.

The fragrance was enticing, and Tuanzi suddenly felt she couldn’t move on.

She thought seriously.

"Ice cream doesn’t fill the stomach; main meals should be staple foods."

[Ancient Martial System: Just say you also want to eat noodles.]

Tuanzi pounced into Tantai Yi’s embrace and stared directly at the director while he was ordering more mixed noodles, grinning, "Miaomiao found a very important clue, but Miaomiao doesn’t quite understand it."

Director Ming glanced at her mouth, then at the second bowl of noodles being served, and had no choice but to push it over.

"Thanks!"

Tuanzi was about to grab a pair of chopsticks when a pair was placed directly into her hand. Looking up, she saw Tantai Yi ordering from the noodle shop owner.

"Third Brother, haven’t you had enough?"

"I’m full, ordered it for you."

Touched, Tuanzi bowed her head to eat. Halfway through, she remembered the issue regarding Wen Qi and hurried to speak to the director.

"Uncle Director, ask about it later, okay?"

Director Ming, feeling full and lazy, didn’t want to move.

"I’ll do it after I digest; after all, the person won’t run away."

Afraid Tuanzi would be too eager to work, he quickly added, "But the noodles will get cold."

"Makes sense!"

Tuanzi promptly lifted her chopsticks and headed towards the steaming noodles.

Next door at the dessert shop.

As soon as Tuanzi left, Wen Qi motioned for his brother to chat in the lounge.

The handsome man suddenly knocked on his leg.

"My legs are sore, can’t walk."

Wen Qi chuckled, "Are you lacking calcium? Should I buy you some children’s calcium tablets?"

Was this a jab at his childishness? Wen Li thought for a moment and then shamelessly said, "Add some other vitamin tablets too, been too busy recently, my nutrition intake is insufficient."

The young boss sized him up and down, raised his eyebrows, "Can’t see your lack of nutrition, on the contrary, you’re over-nourished, or you wouldn’t have grown so much at an elementary school age."

What to do when facing sarcasm? Shamelessness can handle anything.

Wen Li smiled and said, "So, brother, are you going to school to supervise me?"

Wen Qi felt goosebumps rise all over.

He glared at this pesky brother and turned to leave.

As for whether his brother would follow, he didn’t care!

Once he entered the lounge, Wen Qi was about to close the door and unsurprisingly saw a smiling face.

Wen Li sat calmly on the small sofa, as if he was at home.

"Have you been quite idle lately?"

Wen Qi crossed his arms and glared at him, "If you’re so free, write some satirical novels under a pen name!"

"A bit idle," Wen Li admitted honestly, "so I’m happy to help, aiding a stranger in a divorce case, joining the show to help my sister gain popularity, and also checking on the runaway eldest brother."

"I didn’t run away from home!"

Sometimes Wen Qi really wanted to know what his brother’s mouth was made of. Anything that came out of it was distorted.

"I just have different opinions from them, it’s no big deal, it’s been like this since childhood."

Wen Qi didn’t take this matter to heart. He believed many people had similar experiences to his: personal dreams conflicting with parental expectations.

He studied computer networking abroad. But what his parents didn’t know was that he secretly attended a dessert training class overseas. As soon as he returned to the country, he worked in a dessert shop, got a rough understanding of the industry, and directly opened a shop.

Obviously, such actions were contrary to his parents’ expectations, leading to a family conflict.

The stubborn mother who inherited the temper of the grandfather was furious, and the father occasionally added fuel to the fire. He never thought of compromising.

Knowing the road he wanted to take, since university, he earned and paid for his tuition, living expenses, and saved for studying abroad—without taking money from his parents. He didn’t want to go down the path they arranged for him or infuriate them with his choices.

In short, Wen Qi was at peace with his decisions and wouldn’t compromise. He liked his current pace of life and didn’t want to join the ranks of workers who were stressed about work or deal with irritating clients with patience.

Thinking of this, Wen Qi suspiciously looked at his brother, "You aren’t perhaps their spokesperson, are you?"

"How could I be?" Wen Li looked innocent, "You’ve been running your shop for over a year, and you’ve told them about the store’s profits. Seeing that figure, they’ve gradually begun to accept you becoming a dessert chef."

"Then..."

Before Wen Qi could finish, Wen Li spread his hands innocently, "They just think that, since you’re successful, it’s time to consider settling down. They’ve already started arranging matchmaking for you."

Wen Qi: "..."

A few seconds later, the young boss confidently said, "No, they probably want you to settle down, that’s why you found an excuse to run away, using me as an excuse, babbling about ’bringing the runaway eldest brother back home.’"

Failing to deceive, Wen Li still wasn’t upset, continuing to smile, "We are brothers in hardships, big brother shouldn’t mind me, right?"

"I very much mind." Wen Qi didn’t give him a chance to finish, his tone firm.

Wen Li pretended to wipe tearless eyes.

Knowing that he must not let his brother speak too much, or else he’d have endless tricks up his sleeve, Wen Qi pre-emptively spoke, "Before, weren’t you unconcerned about Miaomiao’s return? Why did you suddenly join the show because of her?"

The tear-wiping action paused.

With eyes similar to Wen Li’s slightly narrowed, Wen Qi scanned the person again, his tone slightly mocking, "Oh, you’ve slapped yourself in the face."

Wen Li refused to discuss this topic.

Refuse as he might, thoughts couldn’t help but drift back to when the cousin first returned.

Their family didn’t have much contact with the aunt’s family. After the cousin was born, he had never seen her. When something happened, he felt a little sad, just a little, since they were relatives never met before. When she returned, he was somewhat happy, but just a bit.

They were relatives, but without nurturing feelings, the kinship wouldn’t be too strong.

Therefore, when the cousin safely returned and his parents didn’t go to visit, he naturally didn’t either, thus missing the best chance to bond and build rapport with her.

He continued with his life, only to unexpectedly find his cousin making frequent appearances on screen. To pass the time, he watched several episodes.

Once watched, he wanted to watch more, following one show after another, eventually realizing how adorable his sister was!

The problem arose: when the cousin first returned, he didn’t visit. Now that she was famous, he eagerly sought her out, which would surely lead to misunderstandings.

A somewhat scheming writer decided to take a different approach.
