Min Rui: "Really? Then how did you and your Fourth Brother do it?"

Tangyuan: "Separate him from Guoguo!" Tangyuan glanced at Guoguo, "But my sister isn’t obedient at all. When someone talks to her, she responds enthusiastically without even thinking. I think she’s too easy to fool!"

"Guoguo isn’t a fool, she’s not easy to deceive!"

Guoguo’s big, black eyes widened as she squeaked, "Brother Xi looks nice, is especially polite, and loves cleanliness. Mom told us to be polite, good children. But if I keep my mouth shut and don’t talk when Brother Xi speaks to me, he would be sad and I’d become a bad child!"

"Then if the kidnapper from the street talks to you, would you still be a polite, good child?"

Listening to Tangyuan, Guoguo puffed her cheeks: "Fifth Brother is a baddy, Brother Xi isn’t a kidnapper. By saying being a polite, good child, I mean when talking to friends and good adults. It doesn’t include kidnappers!"

Tangyuan: "Xi Chenyu is just a stranger, kidnappers are strangers too, they’re the same."

Guoguo: "No, they’re different! Brother Xi is a kid, a good child. Kidnappers are deceitful and cunning; they pretend to be nice, offer food to kids, then take them away. Mom has told us about all this and also told us not to talk to strangers outside, not to eat what they give, and definitely not to go with strangers. Guoguo remembers!"

"Xi Chenyu isn’t considered a stranger?"

Tangyuan continued to argue with Guoguo.

"Fifth Brother, if you keep saying bad things about Brother Xi, I’m going to get mad! When I get mad it’s really scary, if you don’t believe it, I’ll cut off ties with you for two minutes, no, make it one minute. Are you scared?"

Hands on her hips, Guoguo lifted her chin and glared at Tangyuan with her kiddie fierceness.

"I’m so scared, childish!"

Tangyuan made a face at his sister, not expecting Guoguo to say: "Baddy Fifth Brother is childish, but I won’t argue with you! Listen, Brother Xi isn’t a stranger. When we first met him at the kindergarten gate, Brother Xi introduced himself and said he’s also one of the kindergarten kids!"

Watching Tangyuan and Guoguo go back and forth, Min Rui’s eyes were full of laughter.

Bun couldn’t bear to watch anymore and told Tangyuan: "We’re the older brothers, we should love and protect our little sister, not argue with her!"

Tangyuan: "I wasn’t arguing with Luo Mingxi, I was reminding her not to chat so casually with boys."

"I wasn’t casually talking to boys; Brother Xi spoke to me first!"

Guoguo’s big round eyes were full of innocence.

Tangyuan: "..."

Guoguo huffed: "Fifth Brother ran out of things to say, right?"

"...You’re right."

After a while, Tangyuan managed to give a brief three-word response.

Guoguo blinked and said sweetly: "See, I wasn’t wrong."

"Hmph!"

Tangyuan folded his arms, turned away, and gave Guoguo the back of his head.

"Fifth Brother, are you mad?"

Guoguo looked innocent.

Tangyuan: Knowing full well, naughty sister!

"Fine, fine, you’re right." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Mrs. Qi shook her head, smiling helplessly and fondly.

At the Song Family’s house for about twenty minutes, Kang Li bid farewell to Mrs. Qi and headed back home.

"Going to your godmother’s place?"

Upon seeing her precious daughter walk in from outside the living room, Cai Xiufen casually asked.

"Yes, had a chat." Kang Li said, noticing Cai Xiufen stand up, she couldn’t help but ask: "You’re going to cook dinner?"

Cai Xiufen replied: "It’s almost six o’clock."

"I’ll do it."

Saying that, Kang Li pressed Cai Xiufen back onto the sofa, and then told Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen: "The lady next door is probably afraid of me; she didn’t wait for me to confront her face-to-face before retreating home, but I’ve talked with Teacher Loo who likely has conveyed my message to her."

"People like Comrade Wen’s wife, in my opinion, only remember the eating, not the beating." Cai Xiufen sighed: "Her appearance seems appealing, yet why do her actions make people dislike her?"

Honestly, Cai Xiufen couldn’t quite understand.

"She must have water in her brain."

Kang Li didn’t want to dwell on Su Man’s matters for fear of affecting the family’s atmosphere. She looked over at her three young ones: "Stay with Grandma and Grandpa in the living room, don’t run around. Mom’s going to the kitchen to make us dinner."
