“A month’s pocket money!” Tang Moxi reminded her.

Liuli immediately pouted and muttered,

“Brother Moxi, why are you so sensitive!”

The next second, she looked up and shouted at Tang Moxi with a smile.

“Hubby, Hubby, Hubby, Hubby… Hubby,

“It should be 30 times! Give it one more time, Hubby!”

Because calling her husband just once would grant her an extra day of pocket money, she had recently been docked for a month and now could only call him 30 times to make up for it.

Tang Moxi was a little dumbfounded. He saw Liuli standing in front of him and looking up at him.

Then, like a repeater, she kept calling him Hubby.

Her expression was full of vigor, and her eyes were almost sly.

Tang Moxi was in a daze.

Tang Moxi almost had the urge to swallow Liuli.

Brother…”

There was a hint of mischief in her voice.

Liuli pushed Tang Moxi away as if she had been electrocuted.

She turned around and noticed a young woman standing not far away, dressed in a light pink cheongsam and a smock.

Liuli had seen Tang Yunxi before, but the girl in front of her had a completely different temperament.

“Sister-in-law, I’m Yanxi!” Tang Yanxi looked at Liuli and introduced herself.

“Hello, Yanxi. I’m Liuli!” Liuli replied with a red face and stuttered.

“Sister-in-law, 1 know!” Tang Yanxi walked over and replied with a smile.

Tang Yanxi had just referred to her as sister-in-law, so she naturally knew who Liuli was. In her foolishness, she even introduced herself as Liuli.

Furthermore, during her intimate moment with Mr. Tang, Tang Yanxi accidentally bumped into them, further adding to her embarrassment.

However, she didn’t know how to handle the situation and could only lean towards Tang Moxi.

“Yanxi, stop teasing your sister-in-law. She’s sensitive,” Tang Moxi embraced Liuli and finally spoke.

Then, he proceeded to introduce them formally.

“Liuli, Yanxi is my second sister. She’s the only member of the Tang family you haven’t met yet. She was supposed to return earlier, but her flight got delayed. She only arrived home last night.”

“It’s good to see you back safely,” Liuli quickly responded.

After saying that, she realized she had once again made a foolish remark.

Liuli chose to remain silent.

Sister-in-law, 1 felt the same way when I first returned home!”

“She finally made it back safely.

“However, unfortunately, she missed your wedding with my brother.”

“Sister-in-law, please don’t take offense!”

It’s alright, there’s always next time…” Liuli quickly interrupted herself.

She almost said something foolish again.

In the future?

Did she have to discuss the possibility of another wedding for Tang Yanxi?

Did she plan to tell her to return for the next wedding of hers?

Tang Yanxi smiled and glanced at Tang Moxi.

“Brother, Sister-in-law is so adorable. It’s no wonder you’re fond of her!”

She wished she could find a hole to hide in.

“Stop teasing her. Grandpa Tang is waiting for us. Let’s go early,” Tang Moxi urged.

“Is Yunxi back?” Tang Moxi inquired.

Tang Yanxi hesitated for a moment before responding.

“I’m not sure. She should be back. I haven’t seen her yet!”

“Have a good talk with Yunxi later. If we all have time, we can go out for a stroll together.”

“You’ve been away for quite some time.”

“Liuli is more familiar with everything than you guys,” Tang Moxi instructed.

“Understood, Big Brother!” Tang Yanxi replied.

In reality, when her Big Brother asked about Yunxi just now,

She knew he did it on purpose.

He was aware of the strained relationship between her and Yunxi.

There had been no communication at all.

However, he deliberately asked if Yunxi had returned.

Furthermore, if there had been any conflict between her and Yunxi during Big Brother’s wedding,

Big Brother hoped that this occasion would pave the way for the sisters to reconcile.

Yet, some things were easier said than done.

She was willing to reconcile with Yunxi, but Yunxi might not be willing to accept this favor.

Otherwise, Yunxi wouldn’t have severed ties with Grandpa Tang in the past and ultimately left home.

Liuli bowed her head and followed Tang Moxi silently, her ears still burning with residual heat.

Of course, she remained oblivious to the conversation between Tang Moxi and Tang Yanxi.

The three of them made their way to the main house’s living room.

Tang Sheng had risen early in the morning and was seated there, observing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law as they prepared tea.

He appeared to be in a pleasant mood and high spirits.

“Grandpa Tang…” Liuli exclaimed with excitement upon spotting him.

Breaking free from Tang Moxi’s grip, she approached him.

“You can call me Grandpa Tang!” Tang Sheng replied with a smile.

“Grandpa!” Liuli called out once again, her face blushing.

She had grown accustomed to addressing him as Grandpa Tang.

Although she had started to change that after their engagement, there were instances when she would forget in moments of excitement.

“You must be tired after a long day. I thought you might come later. Liuli, have a seat here,” Tang Sheng offered.

“Thank you, Grandpa! Grandpa, let me tell you something. Do you know that Brother Moxi and I came back last night…” Liuli settled herself on the nearby sofa.

She was about to recount the chaotic bridal room incident from the previous night to Grandpa Tang.

“Liuli, give Yunxi a call. Where did you see her?” Tang Moxi suddenly interjected.

“Oh, okay!” Liuli replied, reaching for her cellphone.

In the next moment, she realized that she didn’t have Tang Yunxi’s phone number.

She looked up at Tang Moxi, who had already handed her his phone.

“Use mine,” Tang Moxi offered.

“Okay!” Liuli took the phone but was immediately puzzled.

How could she unlock it?

She looked at Mr. Tang with an innocent expression.

Tang Moxi sat down beside Liuli and said,

“Why are you so forgetful? I just showed you how to unlock it yesterday.

“You forgot again!”

Taking the phone from her, Tang Moxi swiftly unlocked it and dialed Tang Yunxi’s number.

He then handed it back to Liuli.

Liuli looked at Tang Moxi in surprise.

When had Mr. Tang ever shown her how to unlock it?

Or had she consumed too much alcohol last night and forgotten everything?

Just as Liuli struggled to recall,

Tang Yunxi’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“Brother.”

“Yunxi, it’s Liuli.”

“Your brother asked me to find out where you are.”

“You’re still on your way? Take your time, it’s alright.”

“Stay safe.”

“We’re waiting for you to have breakfast together!”

“Alright, Grandpa is here too. Yanxi is here, and so are Brother Moxi and I.”

“We’re just waiting for you!”

Alright, we’ll wait for you!”

“See you later!” After Liuli ended the call, she returned the phone to Tang Moxi.

Only then did she realize that the atmosphere in the living room had turned chilly.

Grandpa Tang and Yanxi appeared to be devoid of expression.

For a moment, she was unsure of what she had done wrong.

She looked at Tang Moxi in a state of panic.

“Grandpa, Yunxi is probably caught in traffic. Let’s wait for her.”

“Liuli and I will serve you tea first!” Tang Moxi stated.

At that moment, the cook had already prepared fresh tea and brought it out.

Tang Yanxi wheeled Grandpa Tang’s chair to the head of the table.

Tang Moxi walked over and helped Grandpa Tang onto the chair, ensuring he was comfortably covered with a blanket.

Only then did he approach Liuli.

He gently tugged her hand and they knelt before Grandpa Tang.

After the new tea was brought over, Tang Moxi respectfully said,

“Grandpa, please have some tea!”

“Alright, alright!” Tang Sheng accepted his grandson’s teacup, tears welling up in his eyes. He took a sip and handed the red packet he had prepared to Tang Moxi.

“Grandpa, please have some tea. I wish you good health and a long life!” Tang Moxi glanced at Liuli, who quickly expressed her wishes and extended her teacup.

“Good, good. Liuli, be a good girl! You and Jingxing must live a happy life together. And in the future, give me a few more great-grandchildren. It would bring me immense joy.” Tang Sheng took the teacup and handed the red packet to Liuli.

When she received the red envelope, her face turned red, extending to her ears.

But she couldn’t reveal it to Grandpa Tang now…

Grandpa Tang, I might not be able to give you great-grandchildren!

Perhaps I’ll even divorce Mr. Tang in a few years!

Wouldn’t that deeply upset Grandpa Tang?!

Liuli had no choice but to swallow her anxiety and agree.

“Okay, Grandpa!”

After serving the tea, Tang Sheng urged his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to rise promptly.

Everyone returned to the sofas in the living room and engaged in conversation while awaiting Tang Yunxi’s arrival.

Liuli always brought joy wherever she went.

In her presence, Grandpa Tang could always be seen smiling.

It was as if his illness had vanished, and he had become much younger!

At that moment, the butler entered and made a report.

“Old Master, Eldest Young Master, Young Madam, Second Miss, Third Miss has returned!”

Tang Sheng remained silent.

Tang Moxi smiled.

“Yunxi, come in. We were just waiting for you to have breakfast.”

At that moment, Tang Yunxi, who had been standing by the door, hesitant to enter directly, walked into the living room.

“Yunxi, we’ve been waiting for you to join us for breakfast!” Liuli said with a smile.

Thank you, sister-in-law!” Tang Yunxi replied.

She approached Grandpa Tang and knelt down.

“Grandpa, I’ve returned!”

Liuli was taken aback, unsure of what had transpired.

She turned to Tang Moxi, her eyes reflecting her bewilderment.

Tang Moxi held her hand, offering reassurance, yet also conveying a subtle message.

Liuli redirected her gaze towards Grandpa Tang, seeking understanding in his eyes.

Grandpa Tang maintained a stern expression, devoid of any response. It was as if he hadn’t noticed her presence.

His countenance appeared somewhat daunting, a stark contrast to the usually amiable Grandpa Tang.

Liuli swallowed nervously, mustering the courage to softly address him.

“Grandpa…”

Tang Sheng snapped back to reality, responding in a composed manner.

“It’s good to have you back.”

“Everyone is gathered, and it’s time to eat.”

“What are we waiting for?”

Then, he turned his attention to Liuli, his voice carrying a gentler tone.

“Liuli, your Grandma mentioned that pork rib porridge is your favorite.”

“I’ve already had Aunt Chen prepare it for you!”

Really? Thank you, Grandpa!”

Liuli responded with a smile. She then rose from her seat and wheeled Grandpa Tang towards the dining hall.

Grandpa, let’s go and eat!”

“You know, they say that spring sets the tone for the whole year, and breakfast sets the tone for the day. It’s the most important meal of the day!”

Before entering the dining hall, she gave a secret wink to Tang Moxi, teasingly.

Tang Moxi helped Tang Yunxi to her feet.

“Yunxi, stand up. Grandpa Tang has already forgiven you.”

He then turned to the quiet Yanxi and continued,

“Yunxi, Yanxi, whatever happened between the two of you in the past is in the past now.”

“I don’t want any more conflicts between you in the future.”

“Your sister-in-law just got married yesterday.”

“Maintain a good reputation.”

“Let’s go and eat.”

“We can finally enjoy a good meal together as a family.”

Tang Moxi placed one arm around Tang Yanxi’s shoulder and the other around

Tang Yunxi. The three of them walked into the dining hall.

Naturally, Grandpa Tang sat at the head of the table.

Liuli took a seat by his side, close to Grandpa Tang.

Tang Moxi took a seat in the vacant chair next to Liuli.

Usually, that seat belonged to Liuli, but today it was rightfully Tang Moxi’s. Grandpa Tang seemed to be in a sour mood earlier, so he invited Liuli to sit in his usual seat.

Not wanting to upset Grandpa Tang, Liuli obediently complied and sat down.

Tang Yanxi and Tang Yunxi occupied the seats opposite Tang Moxi and Liuli.

The breakfast spread was already laid out on the table, including the specially prepared pork rib porridge for Liuli.

“Liuli, give it a try. How does it taste?” Tang Sheng, his mood seemingly lifted, smiled at Liuli as he scooped some pork rib porridge.

Liuli took a sip and nodded in approval.

It’s aromatic and smooth. It’s delicious!

“Then have more!” Tang Sheng smiled and nodded. He then picked up his chopsticks and declared, “Let’s start eating!”

Tang Moxi, Tang Yanxi, and Tang Yunxi picked up their bowls and chopsticks.

Only then did Liuli realize that before Grandpa Tang began eating, nobody touched their chopsticks.

However, she had already picked up her chopsticks.

She even took the initiative to remind Grandpa Tang.

“Grandpa Tang, please eat more!”

Liuli grew quiet and focused on eating her porridge, not daring to speak further.

In that moment, a pair of chopsticks picked up a piece of food and placed it in her bowl.

Liuli was momentarily taken aback.

It was only when she heard Grandpa Tang’s voice that she regained her senses.

“Liuli, your Grandma mentioned that you enjoy chicken drumsticks as well. Have some more,” Grandpa Tang suggested.

“Thankyou, Grandpa!” Liuli expressed her gratitude.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She didn’t actually like chicken drumsticks!

Even though she enjoyed them during her childhood, she had grown tired of them over the years.

But she remembered how much her Grandma doted on her.

She had shared all of Liuli’s favorite dishes with Grandpa Tang.

It seemed as though they were worried she wouldn’t be well-fed in the Tang family.

Grandpa Tang doted on her just as much.

As soon as he heard her mother’s remarks about her preferences, he immediately instructed the cook to prepare them.

“Grandpa, you should eat more as well!” Liuli picked up some food and placed it in Grandpa Tang’s bowl.

“Alright, alright, I’ll have some more,” Tang Sheng replied with a smile.

Truthfully, he didn’t have much appetite, but he understood that if he didn’t eat, no one else would eat either this morning.

He couldn’t let Liuli go hungry right after entering the house, so he managed to eat a few bites.

Liuli enjoyed her porridge and nibbled on the drumstick, feeling a sense of happiness in her heart.

She was surely going to eat herself to death!

“Liuli, have more. I’ll save a drumstick for you too!”

“Huh?” Liuli’s eyes widened in surprise.

She couldn’t finish this drumstick, so why was she being asked to eat more!

“Grandpa, Liuli doesn’t have a big appetite. Let me help her finish this drumstick.” After saying this, Tang Moxi picked up another drumstick and began eating it.

Liuli felt so moved that she wanted to hug and kiss Mr. Tang.

“You’re truly my hero, Uncle!”

Otherwise, if I continue eating, I’ll develop an aversion to drumsticks and vomit whenever I see them in the future.

If I start vomiting, Grandpa Tang will surely overthink and become upset.

Being in a bad mood can have adverse effects on one’s health.

If his health deteriorates, it would be disastrous.

The consequences are just too severe.

Liuli felt a deep love and gratitude towards her Uncle.

In the next moment, she quickly halted her wild imagination.

Otherwise, who knows what dreadful outcomes her mind might conjure.

Tang Sheng shot a stern glance at his grandson.

He had specifically instructed the cook to prepare two drumsticks for Liuli.

And yet, this young rascal actually ate one.

Wasn’t he always avoiding them in the past?

However, when she turned around, she saw Liuli beaming at Jingxing.

Tang Sheng decided to drop the argument with his grandson.

As long as the couple had a harmonious relationship.

So, he turned around and reassured Liuli.

“Liuli, it’s alright. I’ll have the cook make something else for you later.”

“Grandpa, one is enough for me. I’ve been on a diet recently!” Liuli quickly responded.

“Why are you dieting? You’re as thin as a beanpole.”

You need to gain at least another 20 catties to look good!” Tang Sheng scolded with a hint of anger.

“Huh?” Liuli was taken aback. She pondered on the idea of gaining another 20 catties and a mental image of a human-shaped inflatable ball popped into her mind.

Oh, that was too frightening.

“Grandpa, I can gradually gain weight, but I can’t become fat all at once, right?” “Grandpa, please eat more. The dishes today are really delicious!” Liuli forced a smile and continued to serve food into Grandpa’s bowl.

Tang Sheng nodded and stopped insisting that Liuli eat the drumstick.

A contented smile adorned his face.

As for Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi, they quietly finished their breakfast from start to finish.

Finally, Liuli finished her breakfast and sat with Grandpa Tang for a while.

Only then did Liuli and Tang Moxi depart.

Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi were summoned to Molan Pavilion. Grandpa had something to discuss with them.

Liuli took Mr. Tang’s hand and they strolled back.

While walking, she asked,

“Brother Moxi, is Grandpa upset with Yunxi?”

Tang Moxi turned to her and replied,

“That’s all in the past. Everything will be fine moving forward.”

“Don’t take it to heart.”

“Just pretend you don’t know anything.”

Liuli glanced at Tang Moxi and mumbled,

“I don’t know anything!”

“It’s better not to know anything.”

“Shall I take you out to play in the afternoon?” Tang Moxi changed the subject. “Really? Really?” Liuli’s excitement was palpable.

“Yes, I’ll take you out after your afternoon nap.”

“I don’t want to take an afternoon nap!” Liuli immediately protested.

“You need to rest for a while. It’s already three o’clock. It’s not ideal for us to go out too early,” Tang Moxi explained to Liuli.

“Oh!” Liuli replied with a hint of disappointment.

“You haven’t been out in a while?”

“That’s right! I’m practically bored to death!”

“Didn’t you go shopping with your classmate two days before your wedding?”

“You mentioned that already, two days before the wedding.”

“Well, ever since the engagement, I’ve only gone shopping with my classmate once,” Liuli pouted and replied.

“Then I’ll take you out to have fun this afternoon,” Tang Moxi said with a smile.

“Sure, sure. Thank you, Brother Moxi!” Liuli nodded enthusiastically.

“But we’re not going to a bar,” Tang Moxi emphasized.

“I know, I don’t want to go to a bar!” Liuli pouted and protested.

Tang Moxi smiled and remained silent.

The two of them walked hand in hand back to their house.

Tang Moxi went into the study while Liuli sat on the second-floor sofa, engrossed in her phone.

Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn’t checked her online results yet!

Actually, the results were out a long time ago, but she had been so busy recently that she had forgotten about it.

If Duoduo hadn’t reminded her last time, she wouldn’t have remembered.

She accessed the school’s webpage, entered her student number and password, and logged into the student center’s personal webpage. With anticipation, she clicked on the results check option.

Liuli held her breath and fixated her gaze on the phone screen, refusing to blink.

It felt as if a monster might leap out of the screen any moment.

Finally, the results page appeared.

Liuli glanced at it and realized her scores were quite good!

She saw a 90!

Excitedly, she began reading through each subject one by one.

Yes, she had scored 98 in several mandatory subjects. She even achieved an 86 in calculus.

She truly was a genius!

Suddenly, Liuli’s eyes widened, thinking she had mistaken something.

She rubbed her eyes and looked again. It clearly said 59!

English proficiency… 59 points!

Liuli muttered to herself.

At that moment, Tang Moxi walked out of the study and was taken aback by Liuli’s expression.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Moxi approached her.

“Uncle, please have a look. Did 1 see it incorrectly?” Liuli handed the phone to Tang Moxi with a gloomy face.

“What are you checking?” Tang Moxi asked, confused.

“Please check my results for me!” Liuli replied.

She did not dare say straightforwardly that she needed him to check up her failed English course.

“Do you sleep through all your classes at school?” Tang Moxi glanced at Liuli and asked.

“Huh?” Liuli looked at Tang Moxi, shocked and unable to react for a moment.

“Seems like someone actually failed!” Tang Moxi turned to Liuli, smiling.

Liuli couldn’t help but groan. It felt like a nightmare coming true.

She then hugged Tang Moxi’s arm and snuggled into his embrace, gloomily complaining.

“Uncle, they must have made a mistake.”

“I usually do well in English.”

“How could I fail!”

“And the worst part is, I’m just one point away!”

“This is too much!”

“That one point could save your reputation!”

“Maybe you don’t even have 59 points for real!” Tang Moxi playfully complained.

“All? Uncle, you’re teasing me!” Liuli looked up and glared at Tang Moxi.

“Your three months’ worth of pocket money is gone. You called me Uncle three times just now!” Tang Moxi replied calmly..
