After watching the movie, Bai Yu initially wanted to take Li Mei home, but she refused and went home by herself. Bai Yu thought that even though they couldn’t be boyfriend and girlfriend, they could still be ordinary friends. However, the next day at work in the hospital, Li Mei didn’t approach Bai Yu like she did before. Upon seeing Bai Yu, she greeted him as any other colleague would, with a light "Director Bai." At first, Bai Yu thought this was pretty good, but within less than a month, Li Mei seemed to have suitors, and Bai Yu started sensing something was off. Although he didn’t pay much attention at first, since Li Mei had turned down the suitor. But before he could fully process, he heard that Li Mei had gone on a blind date, and the next day, he saw someone picking her up after work. This person continued picking her up for several days. That shook Bai Yu to his core! He seized the opportunity when that person came to pick Li Mei up again after work and casually arranged an encounter, asking Li Mei to introduce them. Li Mei introduced the person as a friend and Bai Yu as a colleague, which made Bai Yu feel very uncomfortable, leading him to pull Li Mei aside for a talk the next day. Bai Yu demanded to know why Li Mei, who previously couldn’t stop liking him, had suddenly changed her affections. Li Mei straightforwardly told Bai Yu what she’d said to Xiao Li: she wouldn’t cling to him anymore. In response, Bai Yu refused to accept it, stating that he wanted to try dating Li Mei. When Bai Yu suggested this, he thought Li Mei would be delighted to agree, given how much she wanted to date him before, but unexpectedly, she rejected him without hesitation! Bai Yu was puzzled and asked for the reason. Li Mei simply replied that they weren’t suitable for each other and left. Leaving Bai Yu there completely baffled. Because of this matter, Bai Yu even called Xiao Li to ask if Li Mei had truly said she wanted to distance herself from him. Receiving Xiao Li’s confirmation, Bai Yu felt even more disturbed. After recounting recent events with Li Mei to Xiao Li, Xiao Li also said they were indeed not suitable. This single sentence baffled Bai Yu even further! Why was everyone saying they weren’t suitable? After that, Bai Yu tried all sorts of ways to drive away the men around Li Mei, but he was unsuccessful in winning her over since Li Mei didn’t agree. This pursuit went on for over two years, and both of them remained single. Xiao Li knew the reason why Bai Yu couldn’t win Li Mei over all this time, but she was not about to tell him! Because that reason was exactly why they weren’t suitable for each other. Previously, Xiao Li didn’t want to say anything, but now, after more than two years, she felt it was time to give Bai Yu a heads-up. Once reminded, whether they could be together would depend on whether they had that fate. With this in mind, Xiao Li called Bai Yu and invited him over for dinner at her place. Over these two years, Bai Yu had often come to Xiao Li’s home for meals, so when she invited him, he agreed without a second thought. After calling Bai Yu, Xiao Li went to check if Qin Xiao had gotten Mianmian ready? Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs noⅴelfire.net As Xiao Li walked out of the room, she saw that Xiaoli was already dressed and walking out of his bedroom. Mianmian liked to sleep in, but Xiaoli never did. As soon as the alarm went off, he’d wake up, put on the clothes Qin Xiao had prepared for him the night before, brush his teeth, and then leave his room. Upon seeing Xiao Li, Xiaoli called out, "Mom." Xiao Li smiled and extended her hand to hold his small hand, "Xiaoli is all ready, well done!" Saying this, Xiao Li crouched down and kissed his forehead, then led him to Mianmian’s room. Inside Mianmian’s room, the bed was already empty, and Xiao Li led Xiaoli to the bathroom, where Qin Xiao was supervising Mianmian brushing her teeth. This little girl, if left unsupervised, would just brush a couple of times and stop. Mianmian was begrudgingly brushing her teeth under her father’s supervision when she saw her mother and brother coming. Mianmian glared resentfully at Xiaoli, who was already neat and tidy. Her brother was growing more boring the older he got. Once Mianmian, who was the slowest, was ready, the family of four headed to the first floor. Because there were children, Xiao Li refused Qin Xiao’s offer to carry her, and she held onto the railing and walked downstairs herself. On the first floor, Qin Xiao accompanied the kids for breakfast, while Xiao Li wasn’t hungry at the time, so she didn’t eat. After breakfast, Qin Xiao took Mianmian to kindergarten, and Xiao Li, feeling bored at home, decided to take Xiaoli and slowly walk to Qin’s mother’s place. Upon seeing Xiao Li heading out, Aunt Wu insisted on escorting her, but Xiao Li refused. Aunt Wu, feeling uneasy, ended up following her until Xiao Li and Xiaoli entered Qin’s mother’s villa, then she returned home. When Xiao Li arrived, Qin’s father and mother were just having breakfast. It was late for breakfast, mostly because Qin’s father and mother had gotten up late this morning. Qin’s mother had been too excited last night, unable to sleep for a long time. Since she couldn’t sleep, Qin’s father also stayed up. Softly, Xiao Li greeted, "Dad, Mom, good morning." Seeing Xiao Li and Xiaoli arrive, Qin’s mother excitedly said, "Xiao Li, you’re here. Want to eat something?" Xiao Li originally didn’t want to eat, but seeing the preserved egg and lean meat porridge on Qin’s mother’s table, she suddenly wanted some and sat down to eat a small bowl. Xiaoli, having just eaten, wasn’t interested in food at the moment and went straight to the children’s room to play with building blocks. After the three finished eating, Qin’s mother and Xiao Li sat on the sofa to chat, while Qin’s father returned to his room to catch up on sleep, feeling somewhat uncomfortable from sleeping late last night, despite waking up late this morning. After chatting for a while, Qin Xiao arrived, having first driven home. Upon hearing from Aunt Wu that Xiao Li was there, he made his way over. Walking in without seeing Qin’s father, Qin Xiao asked, "Mom, where’s Dad?" Qin’s mother chuckled, "He’s sleeping in the room." Qin Xiao frowned slightly, "Sleeping at this hour, is Dad feeling unwell?" Qin’s mother shook her head with a smile, "No, your father was kept awake by me last night and didn’t sleep well, so he’s catching up on rest." Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao said nothing more and sat down beside Xiao Li. After answering Qin Xiao’s question, Qin’s mother continued chatting with Xiao Li about their earlier topic. They had just been talking about Qin Tan and He Jie’s plans, as Qin Tan mentioned to Qin’s mother yesterday that he plans to go out again with He Jie, during which the two children would have to stay with Qin’s mother. Both of the kids were already in school. Little Stone was in primary school, while Little Dumpling had just started kindergarten. Just now, Qin’s mother and Xiao Li were discussing Qin Tan’s desire to travel. "Xiao Li, let me tell you, don’t be fooled by how enthusiastic A-Tan sounds. But I bet those two kids won’t end up with me. Xiaojie wouldn’t follow his plan to go traveling again, who goes out again right after returning from travel? We came back before him and haven’t gone out yet. Besides, his travel intentions aren’t pure. As a mother, even I can see it, so can Xiaojie. With his little schemes, not only would Xiaojie not travel with him, but even if they go, it won’t go as he plans."
