Chapter 23 The Little Daughter-In-Law that Everyone knows
Thus, she gently smiled and introduced herself. “Your father has been delayed by work at the factory, so he asked me to come pick you up first. My name is Wang Li. You can also call me Aunty Wang.’
Xiao Yun nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, he crisply called her, “Aunty Wang.” “Oh right, there’s a little girl with you, right? Let’s bring her along as well,” said Wang Li very gently. Xiao Yun looked back and waved to Lin Xi. “Little Xi, come quickly, we’re going home.”
Lin Xi walked over, a little confused as she looked at Wang Li with big eyes.
“Little Xi, Aunty Wang is taking us home today,” said Xiao Yun.
Lin Xi greeted the lady sweetly. “Hello, Aunty Wang.”
Wang Li smiled as she stroked Lin Xi’s hair and said, “I know. This is your little wife, right?”
As she spoke, she handed the umbrella in her hand over.
Xiao Yun generously nodded his head as a form of acknowledgment. Lin Xi blinked her big eyes as she looked at Xiao Yun.
Then, Xiao Yun said to Chubs, “Chubs, we’ll be leaving first. Take it easy later.”
Chubs nodded blankly as he looked at Wang Li with confusion – he didn’t know who this beautiful woman was.
When he last visited Xiao Yun, he found out that Xiao Yun’s mother had passed away.
At this time, one of his classmates came over and looked at the backs of Xiao Yun and the other two. He asked, “Chubs, is that Xiao Yun’s mother? She’s so beautiful.”
Chubs shook his head and said, “No, Brother Xiao’s mother has passed away. I don’t know who she is either.”
“Oh.” That classmate answered with a lack of interest.
The rain gradually weakened as Wang Li led the two children slowly toward Xiao Yun’s home.
“Can I call you Little Yun?” asked Wang Li with some caution.
“Of course, you can.” Xiao Yun nodded.
“Aren’t you worried that I’m a liar?” Wang Li laughed.
What? Aunty Wang is a liar?” Lin Xi spoke first this time, before Xiao Yun had a chance to.
Lin Xi started tugging at Xiao Yun, ready to escape at any time.
After all, Li Ping had always told her not follow strangers. They were all liars. If she went with any of them, it was very likely that she would never see her mother again.
Wang Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “No, Aunty is not a liar.”
Xiao Yun also helped to explain the situation. “Little Xi, don’t worry. Aunty Wang is really not a liar. Believe in Big Brother Xiao Yun.”
As he said that, he patted the back of Lin Xi’s hand.
Then, Xiao Yun revealed a sly smile as he said to Wang Li, “Recently, I’ve seen the smile on my father’s face become bigger than before. I guess it must be because of Aunty Wang.”
Wang Li was stunned at first, and then her cheeks turned red as she looked at Xiao Yun in surprise.
When she got in touch with Xiao He, she had heard Xiao He mention his son, saying that his son was a little brat.
And recently, Xiao He said that his son had been acting more and more like a little adult.
“It seems that your father is right. You’re very smart.
“But, you don’t object? Don’t you hate me?” asked Wang Li softly.
Xiao Yun answered indifferently, “Are you talking about you and my dad? I don’t object. What’s there to object to? And why should I hate you?
“Besides, my dad is still young. It’s good to have someone to accompany him. When I’m older, I’ll go to school outside the city. I’ll be worried if he doesn’t have someone to accompany him.”
Wang Li was even more surprised after hearing Xiao Yun’s words. Xiao He had told her that Xiao Yun’s mind was much more mature than his peers.
She had been wondering how mature a three or four-year-old child could be until she had this conversation with Xiao Yun. It had completely changed Wang Li’s understanding of Xiao Yun.
This kind of open-mindedness was not something an ordinary person could compare to.
At the same time, Wang Li also felt extremely happy. She had been single for many years and had never married. It was not easy for her to want to marry someone who had already been married and had a child.
But through the conversation with this little boy just now, she found that Xiao Yun not only did not oppose but was actually quite supportive.
Moreover, to have met such a sensible and smart child made Wang Li beam with joy.
Seeing that Wang Li had fallen silent, Xiao Yun decided to make things clear. “Aunty, do you want to marry my dad?”
“Marry?” Lin Xi, who had been following Xiao Yun obediently, blinked at Xiao Yun and then looked at Wang Li.
Lin Xi couldn’t be blamed for having such a big reaction when she heard these two words, because Xiao Yun had just said that he wanted to marry her, and she would remember it always.
Wang Li did not seem to have expected Xiao Yun to ask so directly either, so she did not know how to answer for a moment.
Moreover, getting married was not a matter for her to decide alone. She did not know what Xiao He was thinking.
Before she met Xiao Yun today, Wang Li did not even dare to think about this matter. After all, Xiao He was always talking about Xiao Yun, and Wang Li thought that even if the relationship between her and Xiao He worked out, they would probably not be able to so easily consider a wedding since they had to think of Xiao Yun as well.
How could Xiao Yun already understand what Wang Li was thinking? Thus, the following words completely dispelled Wang Li’s worries.
“Aunty Wang, you can marry my dad. I have high hopes for you. You also know that my dad is a completely unromantic person. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he is a piece of wood. However, my father is definitely a good man who is trustworthy, so you can rest assured.
“As for me, you don’t have to worry about me. I won’t oppose the two of you at all. On the contrary, I will raise both hands in agreement,” said Xiao Yun sincerely.
As he spoke, he raised his hands to show his determination.
Lin Xi also raised her small hands as if to cheer on Wang Li.
Wang Li touched her already hot cheeks and softly said, “Hmm.”
The look in her eyes became more and more determined.
Since the problem that Xiao He had been most worried about had been solved, there was nothing to stop them from moving forward. This time, she had no worries to pursue his love.
She had a feeling that with Xiao Yun by her side, she would definitely succeed.
The three of them continued walking the rest of the way home. When they arrived at the doorstep, Xiao Yun used the key to open the door and hurriedly invited Wang Li into the house.
“I’m sorry, Aunty Wang, our house is a bit messy. You know, it’s just me and my dad at home,” said Xiao Yun and began to wink at Wang Li.
Wang Li smiled and pinched his cheek. “You’re such a cheeky kid.”
Xiao Yun chuckled and ran to the kitchen to bring Wang Li and Lin Xi a cup of hot tea each.
Only Lin Xi’s had a little bit of cold water added, so it wasn’t too hot for her. It was warm.
