Li Sui'an burst into tears and hurriedly crawled out of the closet. He then plunged face-first into the man's arms.
"Uncle, I was so afraid! I thought I would never see you again…"
Li Xingyi felt that what Li Sui'an said sounded a little familiar. He wanted to tell him not to cry, but then he thought about the trauma this child had to endure today. Even Li Xingyi could not bring himself to heartlessly tear the sobbing little bundle from his embrace. He could only gently pat his shoulder and comfort him.
It was not until he felt that Li Xingyi's shirt was wet from his tears that Li Sui'an finally left his arms in embarrassment.
Li Xingyi reached out to take off his earplugs, but Li Sui'an stopped him. "Uncle, you can't do that!"
Li Xingyi was puzzled. "Why not?"
The little boy wiped away his tears and said in a childish voice, "Jiang Yule said that I can't take these off no matter what."
Li Xingyi was speechless. It did not even seem like the earplugs were preventing him from hearing at all. "I didn't know that you listened to her. Has she asked you to do anything else?"
Li Sui'an thought about it seriously and decided that it was better not to tell his uncle about her singing idea. So, he said, "Not really…"
After a moment of silence, Li Xingyi suddenly asked, "Do you know what she usually does at home?"
Li Sui'an heard this and suddenly remembered that terrible thing she did. He subconsciously clamped his legs and deliberately lowered his voice, "Uncle Li, you shouldn't make her angry. She is a very scary woman. I saw her cut that thing off with her bare hands!"
Li Xingyi watched as the little boy reached out to cover his crotch and suddenly understood which part he was talking about. "Did you see her do that with your own eyes?" Li Xingyi's expression was complicated.
Li Sui'an nodded. Fortunately, he had run away in time, so he did not see too many details.
Even Li Xingyi, who had always been at ease in the competitive business world, had a rare headache. He realized that he knew nothing about Jiang Yule except for the basic information he received of her before their marriage.
...
Jiang Yule, who had no idea what had happened, was devouring her meal in Li Xingyi's room. Yang Chen silently averted his gaze at her ravenous appearance that was akin to someone desperately fleeing from a disaster.
Wu Bing, who was standing beside Jiang Yule, took the initiative to ask, "Madam, do you need me to give you a general explanation of the situation outside?"
Jiang Yule, who was more interested in eating, did not care. After all, Ouyang Xuan's soul had already left this world. Wang Jianguo had told her about it excitedly when it happened.
Seeing Jiang Yule stuffing food into her mouth without responding, Wu Bing took it as her tacit agreement and said, "The murder was very skilled. He hacked the security system of Haiyue Hotel and trapped everyone inside. After the police were notified, they immediately surrounded all the exits of the hotel. And Master Li had already rushed over before you called him."
Jiang Yule ate a bit slower after hearing that. No wonder Li Xingyi had arrived so soon.
The rest of the story was not anything special. Li Xingyi, like a savior, led his private task force alongside the police to secure the area and successfully arrest the psychotic murderer.
Hearing the notification sound from the system, Jiang Yule stopped stuffing the dumplings into her mouth and looked at the notice she received for dealing with the transmigrator. As a result, Li Xingyi, who was carrying the sleeping Li Sui'an, came out and saw her staring blankly at the food on her plate with her head slightly lowered.
Having witnessed how Jiang Yule transformed into a completely different person in just a few seconds, Wu Bing had a complicated expression on his face. 'Do you really love him that much, Jiang Yule?'
Jiang Yule, who seemed to have just seen Li Xingyi walk out, stood up slowly and did not glance at the dumplings on the plate again. Her gaze was fully focused on the person in front of her.
'I'm crying. Why is life so unfair? Why did this guy have to come here when I'm busy enjoying my dumplings? I have to act like I hate food again!'
Li Xingyi was speechless. Even though he knew she always had something to say about him in her mind, he was still surprised.
"Master Li, you…" Jiang Yule looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Li Xingyi suppressed the urge to shake his head and shoved the little boy into her hands. "Tell him to take off his earplugs." Then, he walked past her.
Holding Li Sui'an, who was snoring slightly, Jiang Yule stood there in a daze. The child was terrified, but he was going to leave him as soon as he fell asleep.
'Is he really your nephew? Li Xingyi, you're such a cold b*stard!'
Li Xingyi slowly stopped and turned to look at the slender figure who usually only wore a white dress. Today, she was wearing a sports suit, which he had never seen her in. "I won't hire a tutor for Li Sui'an in the future. You'll personally teach him."
