Qin Xiao turned his head to glance at her, "So what if we’ve only met a few times? I was smitten with you at first sight!" Xiao Li, "Yeah, right... you clearly said you didn’t fall in love at first sight. And even if that person did fancy me, you can’t just bite me out of jealousy! It’s that guy who wanted to steal you from me, it’s his fault! But, rest assured! Your corner is solid, and no one can move it!" Qin Xiao nodded, "I think it’s his fault too!" (Hua Xiaochun: I... I didn’t know she was yours, Teacher Qin! Even if you lent me ten guts, no, a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare love her! No no no... not love, it’s admiration, it’s admiration...) Xiao Li nodded, "That’s what I’m saying! So you biting me before was wrong, it wasn’t my fault!" Qin Xiao nodded again, "Hmm, it was indeed wrong, I’ll make it up to you when we get home!" Back at home, Xiao Li went to check on the children first, as she hadn’t seen them the night before. Mianmian, who started primary school, was different now, studying very diligently and no longer had the playfulness of kindergarten. Xiao Li watched Mianmian do homework for a while, then checked on Xiao Li, and finally went to see the twins playing in the garden. In the garden, Xiao Li immediately saw Xiaomaru destroying flowers with mischievous hands, the flowers being those larkspurs that Qin Xiao planted for Xiao Li! Upon seeing this, Xiao Li quickly turned to check if Qin Xiao was around? Once she was sure Qin Xiao wasn’t there, Xiao Li walked over to Xiaomaru, "Xiaomaru, do you feel you haven’t been disciplined enough by dad? Daring to pick these flowers!" Looking at the servant of the twins, she apologized, "Ma’am, it was my fault for not keeping an eye on the young master!" Xiao Li shook her head, "He’s at the age of the most mischief, it’s not your fault!" As she spoke, Xiao Li took the flowers from Xiaomaru’s hands, and just as she did so, Qin Xiao arrived in the garden. Xiao Li quickly turned to Qin Xiao and said, "Uncle, these flowers are so pretty, I couldn’t help but pick a couple!" Qin Xiao glanced at Xiaomaru hiding behind Xiao Li, seeing the small green leaf in his hand, it was obvious who picked them! He walked over, crouched down, and took Xiaomaru to the side for a lesson! Seeing this, Xiao Li knew she failed to save her son again, oh well, she had tried! Xiao Li took the flowers to find Xiaonuo to play with, ultimately the flowers Xiaomaru picked ended up in Xiaonuo’s hands! Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽 After playing with the kids in the garden for a while, they went back inside, as there were still mosquitoes in the garden at this time of the year, they couldn’t stay long! In the room, Qin Xiao was compensating Xiao Li, who could only passively accept this compensation! After the compensation ended, Qin Xiao even pulled Xiao Li aside for a scolding, as Xiao Li’s earlier attempt to take the blame for Xiaomaru in the garden was wrong, and she had to endure the scolding quietly. Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Li had been very busy during these two months, Professor Chen had returned from a business trip, and now besides attending classes, she also had to go to the professor’s laboratory when there were no classes. Over the weekend, after being busy for so long, Xiao Li finally looked forward to a morning where she could sleep in, she had been really busy lately. Qin Xiao sat on the bed reading a book, waiting for Xiao Li to wake up. Xiao Li groggily opened her eyes, and habitually reached out to touch the person beside her, once she found Qin Xiao, she hugged him directly, "Uncle, what time is it?" Qin Xiao raised his watch to check the time, "Past nine, want to get up?" Xiao Li shook her head, "No, still want to sleep!" Qin Xiao chuckled, "Then go back to sleep!" Outside the door, Mianmian stood there wanting to open the door, but unfortunately, it was locked, she wanted to knock but didn’t dare! She still remembered the consequences of knocking the last time! By noon, Xiao Li finally got up, when she came to the first floor, Mianmian sighed like a little adult, "Mom, you got up too late! Even more than I do!" Xiao Li blushed slightly, she indeed got up a bit late! Qin Xiao shot a look over, and Mianmian immediately dared not speak anymore! Dad’s look was too scary! The servants set the meal, and the family ate lunch, well, Xiao Li was having breakfast. After the meal, the whole family went over to Qin’s mother’s place. Xiao Li had been too busy over the past two months, so while the kids went over to play after school, she hadn’t visited for a long time. Qin’s mother smiled as she saw Xiao Li come over, "Xiao Li, are you off today?" Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, mom, I haven’t come to see you and dad lately, I heard from uncle that you both went for a physical checkup a few days ago, how were the results?" Qin’s mother, "All good, your dad and I are both in good health! Your coursework is heavy now, focus on your classes, don’t worry about us." As they chatted idly, the phone at home rang, Qin’s mother answered it, but she was so startled that she dropped the phone! Qin’s father saw her reaction and took the phone to ask a few questions, "Okay, I know, we’ll come over in a while." Qin’s father hung up the phone, and Qin’s mother was already in tears! Qin’s father patted Qin’s mother on the hand, "Ah Zhi, let’s go! We’re going to send mother off for the last time." Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li understood, grandma had passed away! Grandma had been in poor health for the past year, and everyone was mentally prepared given her age, after all. But no matter how prepared you are, it’s still hard to accept when a loved one passes away. Qin’s father supported Qin’s mother into the house to change clothes, and Qin Xiao and Xiao Li also took the kids home to change clothes, on the way back, Qin Xiao also called Qin Tan. After changing clothes, the family set off for Zhen’s house. Zhen’s house was already filled with mourning, and the body of the late Mrs. Zhen was dressed in funeral clothes, waiting for the hearse from the funeral home. When Qin’s mother saw the body of the late Mrs. Zhen, her recently stopped tears flowed again. Mrs. Zhen held Qin’s mother, "Ah Zhi, don’t be , let mom depart peacefully." Qin’s mother cried, "Sister-in-law, did mom pass away peacefully?" Mrs. Zhen nodded, "Very peacefully, she even had a good lunch, chatted with us for a while afterward, then said she felt tired and wanted to take a nap, and that was it." Qin’s mother shook her head, "Mom was really heartless, she didn’t say a word about leaving, she should let me see her one last time!" Since Mrs. Zhen fell ill, Qin’s mother had also often come back to see her, she had only just returned the day before yesterday, thinking to come back again the next day, but didn’t expect her to leave today! Life is always so unpredictable! The funeral for the late Mrs. Zhen was well conducted, with families friendly with the Zhen family coming to pay their final respects. After the funeral, Qin’s mother fell ill, and Xiao Li, not at ease with her condition, took two days off to stay with her in the hospital, along with He Jie. In the ward, Qin’s mother looked at her two daughters-in-law, helplessly saying, "I’ve already said I’m fine, you should quickly go to work if you need to work, go to school if you need to go to school! I have the doctor here, you don’t need to keep watch over me!" Xiao Li smiled, "Mom, I’m not here to keep watch over you, I’m using it as an excuse to slack off!"
