Li Jianyue’s face lit up in wonder. “Wow! That’s awesome! Brother Mosen, you’re so remarkable!”

Her admiration gratified Li Mosen. The corners of his lips turned up. “Does my being remarkable make you happy?”

“Of course!” Li Jianyue’s eyes glowed as she looked at Li Mosen. “If only I was half as smart as you and Brother,” she said in envy.

Li Mosen smiled. “You’re already more than half as smart as I am. Whatever intellect you lack, let me make it up for you with mine.”

Li Jianyue felt a little disheartened. “Your intelligence is intrinsic to you. They are not mine. If only I was that intelligent, I’d be doing a lot better now. Look at how smart Sister Panpan is. Mom said that Sister Panpan is so outstanding because she inherited her intelligence from Uncle and Aunt Chengyou. I, on the other hand, didn’t inherit Mom and Dad’s intelligence. My brother and I have the same parents, but why is he the smart one?”

“That’s because you and Dasu are twins. He probably sucked out your share of the nutrients,” Li Mosen joked. “We’ll go home and beat him up. I’ll help you beat him till his teeth are all over the floor.”

Li Jianyue burst out laughing. With a twinkle in her eyes, she looked at Li Mosen. “All right. When we get home, we’ll beat him up together.”

Li Mosen smiled silently and gently stroked her forehead. “You’re very cute as you are,” he said fondly. “You should care about what others say about you. Everybody has their own path in life. You are the little princess of our family. You don’t need to be smart. You only need to focus on being cute and pretty. That’s all you need to do.”

Li Mosen’s advice brought cheer to Li Jianyue. With a light harrumph, she said, “That’s right! I need to focus on being cute and pretty!”

“Yeah. And in the future, look for an intelligent man to be your husband. Have him cherish you and love you. You’ll be able to live a life of happiness all the way.”

Those words filled Li Jianyue’s heart with longing. Her eyes sparkling brightly, she said, “In the future, I want to find a husband like Dad who is tall and handsome, responsible and intelligent, and who is wholeheartedly devoted to his wife. Mom is very smart and independent, too. Do you know about their past, Brother Mosen? I heard from Aunt Chengyou that when Mom and Dad were young, Dad went missing for several years. Dad disappeared soon after Mom had gotten pregnant. Mom took care of my brother and me all by herself. In those days, she even had to manage the company. The company was already very well established. Mom was genuinely impressive. After Dad returned, Mom didn’t even have to lift a finger even to change her clothes. Dad would do it all for her.”

Envy and longing filled Li Jianyue’s eyes. “Since I was young, Dad seldom dressed me,” she said before pausing to reflect for a while. “But I was still fortunate,” she continued, “Dad had never dressed up Brother before.”

Li Jianyue’s recounting of the past made Li Mosen a little sad.

Li Mosen had heard a lot about what Su Qianci went through back in the day.

He was well aware that all the nightmares and tragedies endured by them were due to his biological mother’s actions.

Had it not been for his biological mother, Li Sicheng would not have gone missing, and Su Qianci would not have had to bear so much alone.

But despite all the difficulties that Su Qianci had faced and all sadness she experienced, she insisted on adopting him. She did it against everyone’s advice.

Now that he was all grown up, he felt it was time for him to repay this woman’s kindness.

Li Mosen stroked Li Jianyue’s forehead and said softly, “Don’t worry. You won’t have to go through the same struggles. You will enjoy all the happiness that your mother had enjoyed.”

I’ll be by your side and will never allow any misfortune to befall you.
