Huo Li snorted, "If you can say sothing fair, I’ll write my na backward!"
"Pfft~ Then get ready to write it backward!" Ai Ni sat down next to her, laughing as she said, "It’s not that my sister-in-law is clueless, it’s that you didn’t make things clear. Look at you, always teasing us, acting all unruly. We might want to call you Second Aunt, but honestly, we can’t take it seriously!"
Huo Li pretended to be outraged, "No, no! Who cares about you calling Second Aunt? I’d rather not—you might just make feel old!"
"Even if we don’t call you, you’re already old. It’s your mindset that’s aged. Look at the clothes you’re wearing right now—they’re all for people in their thirties..."
Yi Luowa’s eyes dimd slightly, "Ai Ni, you’re wrong—Huo Li’s heart isn’t old. She’s dressing like that for my Second Uncle."
Ai Ni looked a bit embarrassed as she glanced at Huo Li, "Huo Li, I’m sorry..."
Huo Li laughed, "I see you as my friend. Friends can joke around; don’t go saying sorry! Are you even for real?"
Ai Ni hugged Huo Li’s shoulder with a grin, "Then I won’t say it anymore! Huo Li, with that straightforward vibe of yours, I’m definitely keeping you as a friend!"
Huo Li smiled and nodded, "In my heart, your whole family is my friend."
Yi Luowa pressed her lips together. She was genuinely grateful to Huo Li—not only for helping take care of her Second Uncle but also for blending in so well with her family, making her life easier on both sides.
Yi Luowa sat there for a while. When Tong Yao and Yan Zi returned, they told her to go back to her room and wait for breakfast.
Yi Luowa stuck out her tongue, "Breakfast? It’s almost noon! I’ll just eat at lunchti."
Tong Yao mockingly scolded her, "Be obedient. Right now, you’re eating for three people with just one mouth."
"Alright—I’ll behave. I’ll go back to my room now." Yi Luowa said goodbye to everyone and returned to her bedroom.
Ni Lu looked puzzled and asked, "Why is she eating in her bedroom now?"
"The dining room is too close to the kitchen, and we’re worried about any slls Yi Luowa might not be able to tolerate." Tong Yao sighed, "Being a woman isn’t easy, especially at tis like this."
Ni Lu looked sympathetically toward Yi Luowa’s bedroom door.
"It’ll be better tomorrow. Long Che had a kitchen built in the front yard—starting tomorrow, all the cooking will be done there."
Ni Lu smiled, "That’s great."
Yi Luowa had just finished her breakfast when Tong Airui called.
Yi Luowa smiled softly, "Are you missing or missing the baby?"
"I definitely don’t miss those two little brats!" Tong Airui laughed, "I miss my wife! How are you today? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Nope, I just finished breakfast. Honey, Ai Ni is back, along with Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Ni Lu—they’re all here."
"They ca over without saying anything beforehand?" Tong Airui sighed with a chuckle, "I still have so things to deal with here. I should be able to co back around three."
"Alright, then. I’ll give Uncle Jack a call."
Tong Airui asked curiously, "Ni Lu Auntie’s here—why are you calling Uncle Jack?"
Yi Luowa briefly explained the situation to him.
Tong Airui frowned slightly, "You can get involved in this only if you feel up to it—don’t push yourself."
"Got it. I’m always mindful of my limits. If I feel unwell, I’ll just rest in bed." Yi Luowa noticed there was silence on the other end of the line and pouted, "Honey, don’t be upset. If you ss up your health, what will happen to and the baby?"
"I’m not angry—I was just signing a docunt."
"Then go back to work quickly. I’m going to lie down for a bit."
"Rest up properly—don’t let worry about you."
"OK~" Yi Luowa waited for Tong Airui to hang up before putting her phone down. She glanced at the ti and then picked the phone up again. She felt it was necessary to discuss the matter with Uncle Jack first.
