My wife is number one in the world

However, I cannot use this friendship with Liu Mingzhi so casually!

Lei Jun wasn't a brainless fool; he was perfectly clear-headed. Once he carelessly used this friendship, it would mean the end of his relationship with Liu Mingzhi.

Once the relationship between the two of them ends, even if there are any further interactions between him and Liu Mingzhi, they will only be ordinary interactions.

To put it bluntly, this friendship can only be used once.

Once you've used up your chance, unless something extraordinary happens, you'll almost never have a second chance.

This is not the outcome Lei Jun wanted. What he wanted was to add more layers of affection to their existing relationship.

For me, the only way to truly achieve long-term success is to continue this relationship.

Now that God has finally given me a chance, how could I not seize it!
After silently suppressing his thoughts, Lei Jun first turned his head to look at the little cutie sitting opposite him, and then happily turned his gaze to Young Master Liu.

"Brother Liu, I am the elder of my niece Luoyue, and she is my junior."

As an elder, isn't it only natural for me to dote on my juniors?

Lei Jun responded cheerfully to Young Master Liu's words, then turned his gaze back to Xiao Ke's beautiful face with an unchanged smile.

"Niece Luoyue, don't you think that makes sense?"

Upon hearing Lei Jun's question, the little cutie immediately nodded her head in a very cooperative manner, like a chick pecking at rice. Then, she raised her slender arm and gave Lei Jun a thumbs up.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Lei, that makes sense, that makes sense, what you said makes perfect sense."

Hearing the little cutie's answer full of agreement, Lei Jun immediately laughed and replied, "Hahaha, good niece, your uncle is just telling the truth."

Uncle, I still stand by what I said before. I'm not in a hurry, not at all. Niece Luoyue, you can take your time choosing."

Upon hearing this, the little cutie immediately smiled broadly and nodded twice emphatically to Lei Jun opposite her.

"Yes, Yue'er understands. Thank you, Uncle Lei."

Lei Jun nodded slightly with a smile, then brought the teacup in his hand directly to his mouth.

Kriek took a couple of sips of coffee from her red lips, then turned with a smile to look at the little cutie who was sipping her coffee.

"Sister Yue'er, what kind of things do you want to buy?"

When the little cutie heard Kriek's sweet voice asking her question, she smiled and silently swallowed the coffee between her lips.

"Sister Yike, to be honest, I don't know what kind of things I want to buy right now."

After we finish this cup of coffee, little sister, you can accompany me to wander around your family's shop.

When I see something I like, I'll tell you right away.

The adorable girl, with a smile in her beautiful eyes and a voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's, answered Kriek's question and then continued to sip her coffee, her cherry lips slightly parted.

After hearing the little cutie's reply, Kriy nodded twice without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, little sister."

As soon as Kriykotan finished speaking, he suddenly realized that it seemed a bit too monotonous for the group to just drink tea or coffee and chat with each other.

So she quickly and gently put down the water glass in her fair hand, then got up from the chair and walked back to the counter a few steps away.

"Uncle Liu, I'm so sorry."

I was so focused on preparing tea and coffee that I forgot about the snacks I had prepared to pass the time.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get some pastries and snacks and bring them over."

Liu Mingzhi watched as Kriike, who had already walked gracefully toward the counter, put down his nearly empty teacup with a smile.

“Yike, your uncle and I, your sister Yue’er and I, have already had lunch.”

Therefore, you don't need to prepare too many snacks like pastries; just enough for the two of you and your Uncle Lei is fine.

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Kriy immediately turned her head slightly to look at him and replied sweetly, "Yes, I understand."

A short while later, Kriyko returned with a tray in her slender, white hands and graceful steps.

On the light red tray were four small plates, each containing a pastry, a spiced melon seed, a dried fruit, and a raisin.

Kriek slowly stopped beside the table and gently placed the four plates on it one by one.

Then, he gently placed the empty tray in his fair, delicate hands on the corner of the table, and then gracefully sat back down in the chair behind him.

"Uncle Liu, there's nothing special in the shop, so I just prepared a few snacks. I hope you won't find them too bad."

As soon as Tan Kou finished speaking, Kriy immediately raised her slender arm and gestured to Liu Dashao, Lei Jun, and Xiao Ke'ai.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Lei, Sister Yue'er, please have a taste."

Liu Mingzhi glanced down at the four plates of snacks on the table, nodded with a smile, and then raised his right hand to wave gently to Lei Jun.

"Brother Lei, I've finished my tea. Could you pass me the teapot?"

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's greeting, Lei Jun quickly put down his teacup, then stood up, grabbed the kettle from the corner of the table, and leaned over towards Young Master Liu.

"Brother Liu, my tea is almost finished. Let me pour some more."

Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded slightly, then casually reached out and grabbed a small handful of spiced melon seeds from the dish.

Then, while cracking sunflower seeds in his hand, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ke'ai, Lei Jun, and Keli Yike.

"Hehehe, hehe~ hehehehe."

"Oh dear, look, look! We said we came to buy things, but we ended up chatting and it turned into us begging for food."

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's self-deprecating remark, Krij immediately feigned a huff and said in a coquettish voice, "Uncle Liu, whether you, Uncle Lei, and Sister Yue'er are here to buy things or to visit, it's only right that I prepare these snacks for you. When I used to visit the palace or go to play with Sister Yue'er, didn't you, Uncle Liu, all the aunts, and Sister Yue'er's family always treat me like this?"

If we were to use the language of your Great Dragon Dynasty, we would call this "reciprocity".

If Uncle Liu thinks that you, Sister Yue'er, and Uncle Lei are begging for food from me, then I won't dare to visit the palace or go to play with Sister Yue'er alone anymore.

Otherwise, I, your humble servant, would also end up begging for food in the palace.

Hearing Kriyko's angry words, Liu Mingzhi lowered his head slightly and spat out the sunflower seed shells between his lips and teeth. He then raised his hand and gently pointed at Kriyko opposite him, both amused and exasperated.

"Hahaha, Yike, you little rascal, you're getting sharper and sharper."

All your aunts and your sister Yue'er and her family love you very much. If you were to stop visiting the palace because of some jokes I made, wouldn't your aunts and your sister Yue'er complain about it to me every day?
Yi Ke, although we haven't had many one-on-one interactions, I, your uncle, believe that I've treated you quite well.

Therefore, you mustn't cause my family to be in constant turmoil!

Kriyko smiled slightly, stood up from the chair beneath her shapely buttocks, and then reached out her slender white hand to grab a small handful of candied fruit from the dish. She gently placed the candied fruit from her delicate hand onto the table in front of Young Master Liu, her slender waist barely encircling her.

"Uncle Liu, I would never dare to have such thoughts. What I just said was merely stating the facts."

"Uncle Liu, surely my daughter can't be wrong to speak frankly about the matter at hand?"

Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of candied fruit with his fingers, took a small bite, and then sighed softly with a feigned helpless expression.

"Ugh!"

"Alright, Yike, so according to what you're saying, it's my fault in this matter?"

After gracefully settling into her seat, Kriek used her delicate, fair hands to pick up a few raisins from the dish and slowly put them into her luscious cherry-like mouth.

Then, she looked at Young Master Liu with a grin and said sweetly, "Hehehe, Uncle Liu, I didn't mean that at all. You said it yourself!"

Listening to Kerry's giggling and coquettish words, Liu Mingzhi silently swallowed the melon seeds he had already chewed, and then immediately shook his head gently, feigning helplessness.

"Yike, you weren't like this before!"
You should just follow your sister Yue'er and learn from her. You won't learn anything good from her anyway.

As soon as Liu Mingzhi uttered those words, which were spoken in a deliberately helpless tone, before Kriy could even say anything, the little cutie immediately became unhappy.

You can joke around with each other all you want, but why did you suddenly turn the topic to me?

The little cutie stuck out her delicate tongue and gently licked the coffee from the corner of her lips twice. Then, she turned her fair and slender neck angrily and looked at Young Master Liu.

"Hey hey hey, stinky... umm, cough cough cough."

Dear Father, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by saying that I can't learn anything by following Yue'er?

Why did you suddenly start making personal attacks while you were chatting with Yike?

No, I...you...you...

Good father, I just don't understand, what's wrong with me? Why can't I learn anything good from me?
That's insulting! That's insulting!

"Good father, this...this is a bit insulting!"

Hearing his beloved daughter's indignant rebuttal, Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the dried fruit in his hand, and then turned to look at his little darling who was now glaring at him angrily.

"Can't figure it out?"

Upon hearing her father's question, the little cutie immediately nodded vigorously twice without hesitation.

"Yes, that's right, Yue'er, I don't understand."

"Is this an insult?"

Upon hearing this, the little cutie nodded vigorously twice without hesitation.

"Yes, that's right, it's insulting."

Liu Mingzhi casually picked up the teacup on the table in front of him, lowered his head slightly, took a small sip of the tea, and rinsed his mouth.

Immediately, he gently put down his teacup, then chuckled softly and continued cracking open the melon seeds in his hand.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahaha."

You brat, if you can't figure something out, then take your time to think about it.

As for the matter of insulting people, I just don't understand. When did telling the truth become an insult?

If telling the truth is an insult, then the people I've insulted in my life are... no, no, I should say it's the two of us, father and daughter.

No, no, that's not right either.

To be more precise, there are countless insulting things that people all over the world do.

After all, in this world, nine out of ten people prefer to hear the truth!

The little cutie's eyes twitched slightly as she listened to her father's cheerful reply.

"me……"

The little cutie's luscious cherry lips trembled slightly, and after letting out two soft, hesitant hums, she ultimately couldn't say anything coherent.

Seeing that the little cutie clearly wanted to refute him but couldn't say anything, Young Master Liu casually tossed the sunflower seed shells in his hand onto the corner of the table and gave the little cutie a mischievous look.

"My dear daughter, what are you saying? Keep talking!"

Hearing her father's teasing tone, the little cutie glanced at Lei Jun and Kerry before gritting her teeth and looking away.

Immediately, she tilted her slender, fair neck slightly back and finished the remaining coffee in her cup in one gulp. (End of Chapter)
