Shen Xi tapped on her messages and noticed that Fu Qingli had sent her a private message. [Fu Qingli: Xixi, Toffeecito left with me. I’ll deliver it back to your hands in two days.]

The timestamp was not too long after he left. Fu Qingli probably sent her the text to let her know that he took off with Toffeecito.

‘What more could she say? She missed the text message. It was not like he took Toffeecito along without informing her. Had she seen the message, she could go after him to ask Toffeecito back before they had left.

Apart from Shen Xi, who could not see what was going on, the rest had a clue of why Fu Qingli did it. Coming from the same place as Fu Qingli, Fu Qingxuan and Fu Qingye knew their big brother took Toffeecito away so he would have a legitimate excuse to look for Shen Xi.

Shen Xi and Li Yuan bade the Fu family farewell and boarded the plane.

Observing the girl who was staring blankly out the window, Li Yuan tapped on her nose tip. “Let’s raise another.”

Shen Xi looked back. “A child?”

Taken aback, Li Yuan looked deeply into her eyes and coughed. “You’re young. It’s too soon to have a child. Let’s get Mr. Toffeecito a few babies for us to raise.”

Shen Xi reflected for a moment and put ona straight face. “‘m not young.”

Li Yuan smiled dotingly. “We can wait until your college graduation. Do you want to have a baby while you’re still studying?”

Shen Xi replied, “Nothing’s wrong about that. I can have my graduation photo with you and the baby.”

She saw the image in her mind, and it was beautiful. Ah, such was the feeling of having everything in life.

Li Yuan gently held her in his arms while propping his chin against her head. He sighed. “First, we need to have a talk on how to get the family to come around.”

He now had two pairs of parents-in-law and many brothers-in-law. It would not be easy to convince every single one of them. Yu Yuanxi was not an issue, but the Fu lot was the toughest crowd to please.

“How about we do the deed to seal the deal?” Shen Xi suggested.

Li Yuan heaved a sigh. He was reluctant to do so as he wanted to give her the best. Li Yuan did not want to put Shen Xi through any distress. “Let’s just wait. Leave the rest to me.”

His fair lady was still young. It was his wish to have the whole world’s blessing as they walked down the aisle so that everyone would know how much he loved her.

With a hint of slyness fleeting past her eyes, Shen Xi curled her lips without saying a word. She just had a light bulb moment.

Shen Zhangqing came to fetch them from the airport. Shen Xi did not want him to come in the middle of a cold winter’s night. It was too cold and troublesome, but there was no stopping Shen Zhangqing.

The reason for Shen Zhangqing’s presence was to end any chances of the big bad wolf taking his darling daughter next door. The couple was young and not wedded. It was easy to give in to temptation when couples were left alone together. Shen Zhangqing had to keep a good eye on his daughter so she

would not be taken advantage of. It was not that Shen Zhangging did not trust Li Yuan, but he was a man himself too. The itch, oftentimes, would take over.

No man would not think about that when they were with their beloved unless they were not right in the head or in that nether region.

It was three o’clock in the morning by the time they drove home. They passed by a 24-hour fast-food restaurant to get some food as their supper.

Shen Xi finished her supper and fell asleep in the car. Nestling in Li Yuan’s arms, she was sound asleep.

Every now and then throughout the journey, Shen Zhangqing glanced at the rear-view mirror in bitterness. The first thing he did after getting down the car was to rush to open the car door. Gazing at his daughter in Li Yuan’s arms, he hesitated whether to wake her up. In the end, he sighed and turned to

Li Yuan. “Carry her down. Be gentle now, so you don’t wake her.”

The 10 odd hours of flight must be tiring. Since Shen Xi could only sleep on her own bed, it was likely she did not get a good sleep during her stay at the Fu residence. Look at the sleepy head.

Li Yuan softly lifted the girl as he got off the car while Shen Zhangqing put his coat over her to tuck her in nice and warm. He then went to open the door.

Shen Xi quietly cracked open her eyes ever so slightly.

Li Yuan lowered his gaze and happened to meet her sneaky squint. The girl gestured to keep it quiet as she plopped her head back and shut her eyes to sleep. He dotingly grinned.

Shen Zhangging beckoned Li Yuan over and said in a hushed tone. “Steady there.”

Firmly walking behind Shen Zhanging, Li Yuan took strides into the house. Aside from the covert glance just now, the girl in his arms appeared to be deep in slumberland.

They went all the way to Shen Xi’s bedroom on the second floor.

Li Yuan put Shen Xi down on the bed, but the girl refused to let go of his hand.

Shen Zhangqing’s eyes were breathing fire. What was he supposed to do? He had already made the biggest compromise to allow Li Yuan to carry his daughter into the house, and now he was supposed to let Li Yuan stay the night? Dream on!

Taking a step forward, Shen Zhangging grabbed Shen Xi’s wrist and pried her fingers open with another arm. Without a word, he then poutingly gave Li Yuan a look to leave.

Li Yuan politely and modestly nodded at Shen Zhangging, “I should get going.”

Shen Zhangging waved him off as he held himself back from yelling at Li Yuan to get out.

Once Li Yuan left, Shen Zhangqing glanced at his daughter in frustration before drawing close to tuck her under the sheets. After turning off the light, he tiptoed his way out and closed the door behind him.

With Shen Zhangging gone, Shen Xi opened her eyes and whipped out her phone to send Li Yuan a text message. [Shen Xi: My dad’s actually nice.]

Old Shen might not want to admit to it, but he had acknowledged Li Yuan as Shen Xi’s boyfriend. On the other hand, Madam Yun, like her Fu parents, would support her wishes and stand by her side.

The hardest to get through would be the Fu brothers. Still, it should not be a problem with Qingye. Fu Qingxuan may be reluctant to go to bat for her, while Fu Qingli’s opinion did not matter to her.

Li Yuan soon replied and reaffirmed her text message. [Li Yuan: Uncle Shen loves you the most in this world.]

He was relieved that Shen Xi had such great parents. They loved and taught her well, providing her with a carefree life.

[Shen Xi: Old Shen will stand by me for whatever I want to do.]

That included marriage. However, Old Shen might have something to say if they were to get married so soon. Old Shen and Madam Yun must hope that she would wait until graduation before getting married.

Nevertheless, if she could work with Yu Yuanxi and Lil’ Ye to get their marriage license now, it would make things easier for her and Li Yuan..
