Chapter 1084 - Mommy, is that true?
Li Jianyue was almost in tears as she spoke. With both hands flailing about, she rushed up to Su Qianci and cried out, “Mommy, look! Daddy is bullying me!”
Li Sicheng tugged on his daughter’s clothing, a helpless expression on his face. “Little one, you’re calling for reinforcement forces now? Be quiet.”
Li Jianyue closed her mouth and went silent immediately. She turned and looked at Su Qianci pitiably. “Mommy, how could you not come to my aid?”
Su Qianci giggled and stretched out both hands to bring her daughter into her embrace. “Alright then. You’ll sleep with Mommy tonight. I’ll have Daddy sleep with your brothers.”
“No way!”
Objection from both young and old rang out in unison.
Li Sicheng and Li Mosen both looked at each other, and Li Sicheng wiggled his brows at Li Mosen.
Li Mosen caught the hint from Li Sicheng’s signal. A blush permeated his fair face, and he bowed his head as he tried to explain to his sister, “Ersu, Daddy and Mommy are husband and wife. They should sleep together. You can’t sleep with them, or you’d become the third party.”
Ou Ming choked on his own saliva. Why couldn’t this family reason like any other? How did a third party come about?
“Who taught you that?” Yu Lili was rolling in laughter and corrected, “That’s not what a third party is. Only someone who ruins the feelings between a husband and wife is known as a third party, got it?”
“That’s right. That’s what a third party is.” Li Sicheng nodded in agreement, his eyes full of appreciation. “Ersu, what you’re doing now is ruining the feelings between Daddy and Mommy. Do you know that?”
Li Jianyue blinked repeatedly and looked from Li Sicheng to Su Qianci and then back to Li Sicheng again. Full of doubt, she asked, “Mommy, is that true?”
Su Qianci was speechless and didn’t know what to say. Was that true?
Of course, it wasn’t!
But Li Sicheng had already said so, and it wasn’t appropriate for her to contradict him at this point. How would he face his children otherwise?
She was caught between a rock and a hard place.
Ou Ming cleared his throat and spoke up, “Ersu, Uncle can be the witness that you’re not the third party. But if you continue to insist, it’ll be no different from being a third party. Don’t act like that, okay?”
Li Jianyue pouted when she heard that. She looked at Ou Ming with moist eyes still filled with doubt and asked, “Is that true?”
Ou Ming nodded his head solemnly without missing a beat and affirmed it. “It’s true. So you have to be obedient.” He took a look and the time and continued, “It’s almost nine o’clock. Isn’t it your bedtime? Mosen, Dasu, take your sister to sleep.”
Su Qianci went along with Ou Ming instantly. “Yes, take your sister to sleep.”
Li Mosen was the first to run over. “Ersu, let’s go!”
Tears pooled in Li Jianyue’s eyes, threatening to spill over. But she nevertheless climbed down from Su Qianci and grudgingly followed Mosen.
She made her way to the staircase with Li Mosen step by step, looking back at Su Qianci repeatedly, and sniffling as she went along.
Li Jianqian announced, “Daddy, Mommy, I’m going too!”
“Go on.” Li Sicheng nodded and waved his hands. After a second thought, he whispered, “Remember to cheer your sister up.”
“Yeah!” Li Jianqian nodded and ran up immediately.
“Be careful.” Su Qianci yelled after him. “Go up the stairs slowly! Don’t run.”
“Got it!” Li Jianqian slowed his steps a little, but even so, he still caught up to his siblings.
