Chapter 1341: Ten Minutes

Su Qianci tiptoed up to meet her husband with a dazzling smile on her face. “You’re welcome, Mr. Li.”

…

Yu Lili’s heart was feeling a little empty. It had been a whole afternoon since she had last seen Ou Ming. He had never acted that way in the past. He had been missing for so long.

Has he gone home?

Everyone was seated at the dining table in the private dining room. Seeing how distracted Yu Lili was, Luo Zhan cleared his throat and asked, “Mrs. Ou Ming, what are you thinking about?”

Yu Lili glanced at Luo Zhan and smiled. “Humpf!” She said nothing else after that sound.

Luo Zhan was baffled. When he saw everyone around him taking pleasure at his discomfort, he coughed immediately and asked, “Oh no! Oh no! What have I done now?”

“Where did Ou Ming go? Out with it.” Yu Lili took a sip of tea and looked at Luo Zhan with her eyebrows raised. “You must know where he is.”

Luo Zhan looked away immediately. He turned to face the other side as he replied, “I don’t know! It’s not like Ou Ming told me where he was going. How would I know…”

Yu Lili slammed her teacup on the table and stood up. She took her phone with her as she headed out of the room. It was obvious that the grand dame was furious.

Luo Zhan lamented his misfortune. He quickly ran after her, yelling, “Sister-in-law, hold on a moment!”

Yu Lili turned around and rolled her eyes at him.

“Sigh, Ou Ming will be back soon. Just stay seated.” Luo Zhan walked up to her and gently pushed her back to the dining table.

He caught sight of Li Sicheng and his wife holding hands as they walked in and felt a sense of relief. He called out, “Second Brother, Sister-in-law, come join us!”

“Daddy, sit over here!” Li Jianyue waved at Li Sicheng and patted the seat beside her. “Mommy, sit next to Daddy!”

Li Jianyue’s main intention was not to let Su Qianci sit beside her. The little child was feeling guilty. She didn’t dare look at Su Qianci for fear of getting scolded.

Not only could Su Qianci see through that, everyone else could too.

Yu Lili laughed, but she walked to a corner and said, “I’d still better give Ou Ming a call first. You guys go ahead and get seated.”

“Sister-in-law, sigh, just sit. Ou Ming might just be back in 10 minutes.”

Yu Lili didn’t believe him. Seeing how confident Luo Zhan seemed, she sat back down.

After 10 minutes, Ou Ming was still nowhere to be seen.

Yu Lili looked at the time. Just as she stood up, the whole place suddenly darkened. The sudden darkness shocked the little children.

Li Jianyue cried out, “Daddy!”

“Daddy is right here,” Li Sicheng reassured her with his timbre voice.

Li Sicheng held his daughter’s hand with one hand and his wife close with his other. He called out, “Third Brother.”

“OK.” Li Jinnan stood between the two boys. He rested each of his hands on each of the boys.

The sudden change gave Yu Lili a shock. She looked around and asked, “Luo Zhan, what’s going on?”

Just as she voiced the question, a ray of yellow light suddenly shone in from outside.

“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you…” the voice was mesmerizing, warm, and clear.

Yu Lili was very familiar with that voice. Hearing it caused her head to turn.

Behind the yellow candlelight, a blindingly handsome face bit back a smile. His eyes looked right into hers as he made his way over, step by step. “Happy Birthday to Lili, Happy Birthday to you.”
