At that mont, Li Yanling was also tucking him in with care, ensuring he was asleep before she finally left the room.
And very soon,
after she left the room, she found Liu Zheng was right there beside her.
His sudden appearance, indeed, gave her quite a fright.
Li Yanling couldn’t help but step back several paces.
The next second, she imdiately closed the door to Xiao Kai’s room.
Then she took a deep breath, placed the bowl she had been holding on the table nearby, and asked.
"Why are you suddenly here?"
Liu Zheng proudly lifted his chin and replied.
"What do you think? The thod I suggested worked, didn’t it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yanling couldn’t stop herself from nodding and laughing in agreent.
"Yes, I really appreciate it. I never thought it would work this quickly. I was a bit worried before, but now it seems my concerns were unfounded."
Liu Zheng casually patted his chest.
"Of course, there’s nothing I can’t solve once I’m on the case. I heard the whole conversation between you two just now from outside the door. As long as this issue is resolved, there shouldn’t be any problems."
Honestly, for this matter, Li Yanling was very grateful to him.
"No matter what, I really owe you one this ti. You can make a request of later, and I’ll definitely do my best to fulfill it."
When Li Yanling said this, a sly glint flashed in Liu Zheng’s eyes.
She then instinctively raised her hand to stop him at her waist, and he asked.
"Really? Whatever request I make, you’ll agree to it?"
The woman looked a bit embarrassed by his attitude, and lowered her head with a slight smile.
"Of course."
"You’ve done such a big favor, there’s no way I could refuse you."
"Alright then, I’ll cherish this opportunity, but I’ll need to give it so thought."
Liu Zheng’s laughter grew more brazen.
"Sure, no problem,"
Li Yanling responded with a smile.
"But did you have breakfast just now?"
"Of course, I did. You made it by hand for ; I finished every bit of it, not leaving even a morsel."
"Your cooking is truly amazing. Every ti I finish eating, I can’t help but marvel."
He was becoming ever more adept at giving complints.
And it brought a full smile to Li Yanling’s face.
"Alright then, in that case, you should co visit my ho more often when you’re free."
"I reckon after today’s events, Xiao Kai won’t have much of an issue with you."
"So, if you feel like coming over, it shouldn’t be a problem."
Upon hearing this, the person in front of her nodded energetically.
This would be a real treat for him.
"Alright, alright, that makes happy."
But he quickly thought of another person.
That would be the elder.
Even though Xiao Kai was not a problem now, the elder was a different story. If she discovered him, she might start nagging and making comnts all over again.
So, when Li Yanling walked into the kitchen with the dishes, Liu Zheng quickly followed behind her.
She then gently shook her head and began to speak.
"Sigh, it seems this matter isn’t so easy after all."
Li Yanling had been washing dishes until now, but hearing this, she beca sowhat perplexed, imdiately turned around to look at him, and asked.
"What’s up? What’s not easy? What happened to you again?"
Soon, Liu Zheng shook his head as he spoke.
"Although the problem on your child’s end is resolved, the issue with the elder has not been settled. If she’s at ho, I probably won’t be able to co over often. Who knows what kind of idle talk she might start again?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yanling in front finally seed to co to a realization.
That’s right, she had been so happy that she had actually forgotten about this.
Even though her relationship with her child had indeed improved, she didn’t know how long they could maintain it with the old lady around.
As she thought about this, her motions in washing dishes slowed down a bit, and then she sighed softly.
"Yeah, I got too carried away and almost forgot about the elder."
"I don’t know if my relationship with my child can last a long ti."
"Actually, I know that the old lady has been bad-mouthing in front of the child for a long ti. Otherwise, his impression of wouldn’t have been so negative. Even though I know, I couldn’t really make any changes."
As she spoke, she started to beco upset again.
Truth be told, even though Liu Zheng was a man, he could empathize with Li Yanling’s feelings at this mont.
Seeing her becoming sentintal again, he also raised his hand to gently pat her shoulder.
"Oh, don’t feel sad, it’s my fault for bringing up this unhappy matter out of the blue."
"Let’s talk about her issue later. But I think your relationship with your son will definitely last for a long ti."
"This matter has also made him grow up and see things clearly. I believe he will eventually co to understand who truly cares about him."
"I hope so."
In the end, Li Yanling could only express this sentint.
How future matters would unfold, she couldn’t possibly know, could she?
No matter what, she still hoped to resolve these issues properly.
Having made such great progress, it was already a good thing for her.
So, she didn’t want to dwell on anything else at this mont.
"Do you have anything on this afternoon? If not, stay for lunch."
Li Yanling quickly changed the subject, not wanting to continue discussing the unhappy matter any further.
Since she had already proposed this, how could Liu Zheng possibly refuse?
Especially since he truly had nothing on for the afternoon.
So he quickly agreed.
"Sure, no problem at all, I’ll stay, albeit reluctantly."
"What do you an ’reluctantly’? Are you unwilling?"
Li Yanling gave him a stare.
Liu Zheng imdiately shook his head and replied.
"How could I be unwilling? Being able to eat the food you cook is a great fortune for . I was just joking."
Seeing his smooth talk,
Li Yanling couldn’t help but smile again.
Soon, she started to prepare lunch.
After all, she hadn’t prepared much for breakfast.
Plus, they did indeed get up a bit late today.
