'Not Again' Lu Lan thought. Of course, she still remembered the Tex Corporation proposal and their marriage contract. Even though both things had brought happiness in her life, it was not necessary for the third time, right!
When Si Li saw her being silent for quite a while, he suddenly smiled "Little Champ, it seems that your mommy doesn't love you and that's why she doesn't want to agree to my 'single' condition!"
Suddenly, on hearing Si Li's words, Lu Lan came back to her senses and saw Little Champ looking at her disappointingly as if he was telling 'I have fought with father for you and now you can't agree to his only one condition'.
Lu Lan understood what Little Champ was trying to say and saw Si Li mocking her.
"Fine, tell me.". Lu Lan said gritted her teeth.
Si Li surely knew how to turn the table.
"Next week, you will stay at home and rest instead of going to the office" Si Li put his trump card.
Now, Lu Lan understood what he actually wanted. He had told her to rest for one more week but she had rejected it. At that time he didn't say anything to her as he knew that if he forced her then she would definitely go on a hunger strike.
Now he manipulated the situation very cleverly and won this round because she couldn't reject his condition now. If she did, then Little Champ would think that his mommy loved her work more than him.
Smart Si Li!
"Okay." Lu Lan said and admitted defeat.
Elder Si saw full drama from upstairs and thought 'This rascal always knows how to win' but he was happy because it was after so many years that he saw the happiness in his grandson's eyes.
Elder Si always blamed himself for not saving his son and daughter-in-law and for putting his grandson in a dangerous environment.
"Why are you guys still standing here, don't you want to play now?"
"Xiao Lan and Little Champ go eat something and you two rascals go start preparing the field for playing football and Dr Chen will stay here till we finish our game. You can check Xiao Lan injury thereafter and this time I want a correct report about Xiao Lan from you." Elder Si commanded everyone.
"Sure Elder Si"
"Hmm"
"Okay Grandfather"
"Okay Grandpa"
"…"
Everyone including Little Champ replied to Elder Si and left to do their respective jobs.
Afterwards, two teams were formed.
Team A: Si Li, Lu Lan and Little Champ.
Team B: Elder Si, Si Yan and Dr Chen.
Madam Si was Referee.
Of Course, captain for Team A was Little Champ and for Team B was Elder Si.
And the winning team without any doubt was Team A.
No one dared to fight against Si Li. Moreover where Lu Lan and Little Champ were involved, no need to ask and wait for the hint from Si Li.
After playing football everyone was tired and therefore they had their dinner and left for their rooms to rest.
After Lu Lan had coaxed Little Champ to sleep, she went to the balcony, she was very happy that she got a family who loved her and doted on her.
"What are you doing there?" Si Li returned to his room and saw Lu Lan standing in the balcony.
