Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

"This isn't spoiling, it's pampering. I pamper you and Chengyang too."

As she spoke, she glanced down at the little princess in her arms. The little girl was grinning, revealing two rows of tiny teeth, and responding in a soft, sweet voice.

"I love my aunt the most!"

Li Lizhi lowered her head shyly; indeed, her aunt had been kind to both her and Chengyang.

Li Yinxun, with the little princess in tow, got into the car she had just bought and soon arrived at the apartment building.

Guo Qian was already waiting there. He was tall and slender, wearing a dark tracksuit, and looking down at his phone.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw Li Yinxun first. Then her gaze moved down and she saw the baby in her arms. She froze on the spot.

Various guesses flashed through his mind, his brows furrowed tightly, and he rushed forward to meet her, asking the question as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You're still young. Have you been unable to find suitable work and are forced to earn money by babysitting for others?"

Once he started talking, he couldn't stop. The more he talked, the more anxious and distressed he became.

"Taking care of children is so tiring. You don't even like children, and you still have to look after them so late at night. That family is so unreasonable..."

As she spoke, her emotions got the better of her, and her eyes reddened.

Looking at her boyfriend, whom she hadn't seen for a month and a half, and seeing his current state, Li Yinxun gave a helpless smile.

Guo Qian is thirteen years older than her. In front of outsiders, he is very steady and reliable, a mature older brother figure. But in front of her, he is like a little crybaby, with his eyes reddening at the drop of a hat.

She reached out and gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from Guo Qian's eyes, and asked.

"Why are you crying again?"

Guo Qian grabbed Li Yinxun's hand, preventing her from pulling it away.

"I just feel sorry for you. You don't like children to begin with, and now you have to force yourself to take care of them and earn money. With your personality, you must have suffered so much..."

After saying this, the little princess objected.

In her heart, her aunt was the best person in the world. How could she not like children? Her aunt clearly loved her the most!

The little princess raised her hand and slapped Guo Qian across the face.

The sudden action stunned Li Yinxun and Guo Qian, and the scene fell silent.

The little princess pouted angrily, her round eyes glaring at Guo Qian, and she retorted loudly in a childish but very serious voice.

"You're talking nonsense! My aunt loves my bed the most!"

Li Yin came to her senses, looked at the little girl's serious expression, pinched her puffed-up cheeks, and then gently comforted Guo Qian, who was still in a daze.

"Don't argue with a child. This is my sister's child. She's very well-behaved, and I love her very much. There's no question of her being wronged."

Guo Qian then realized, oh, it's my sister's child, so it's not about making money by babysitting.

He subconsciously touched the cheek that had been slapped, and looked at the little brat's sulky little face, feeling both amused and exasperated.

This little one, the slaps don't hurt, but he has quite a temper.

Seeing that Li Yinxun was holding the child the whole time, Guo Qian felt sorry for her being tired and offered to help.

"It must be tiring to carry the baby all the way, let me carry the child."

He reached out his hand to Sizi, smiling warmly.

Without a second thought, the little princess buried her face in Li Yinxun's neck, wrapped her arms tightly around him, and snuggled into his embrace. She clearly didn't want to be held by a stranger and even let out a soft hum.

Guo Qian's hand froze in mid-air, and his smile faltered.

Li Yinxun smiled and shook her head, then gently patted Sizi's back.

"The little one is very light, I'm not tired carrying him. It's getting late, let's go home."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qian felt a surge of joy.

His mind immediately started racing, imagining that Li Yinxun was going to take him to meet her parents. He became nervous and flustered, and even stammered when he spoke.

"Isn't it a bit too abrupt to come knocking so late at night? And for the first visit, I should bring something, it wouldn't look good to go empty-handed. Maybe I should find a supermarket first..."

Li Yinxun saw right through what he was thinking, but didn't rush to explain, and casually comforted him.

"There's no need to buy anything. It's just my two nieces living in the house, no one else."

Guo Qian was still wondering to himself, when did his girlfriend become so familiar with his relatives?

But seeing that Li Yinxun didn't want to say anything more, he had no choice but to swallow his questions and obediently follow along.

Reaching the car, Li Yinxun opened the door, settled Sizi in the back child seat, and then got into the driver's seat herself.

Guo Qian stood outside the car, watching this scene, and his nose tingled with emotion again.

Li Yinxun fastened her seatbelt, turned her head and saw, oh dear, it was red again.

She held her forehead, feeling both annoyed and amused.

"What's wrong now?"

Guo Qian opened the passenger door and got in, his voice muffled and tinged with grievance.

"Are we keeping a secret? You didn't even tell me about something as important as getting your driver's license. You used to share even a leaf with me, and now that you can drive, I didn't even know you got your license..."

Li Yinxun sighed, thinking to herself, "What's a driver's license? The things I'm hiding from you will scare you to death if I told you."

But we can't talk about these things now.

Seeing that Li Yinxun didn't comfort him as usual, Guo Qian felt even more aggrieved and muttered under his breath.

"There are definitely many things they're hiding from me..."

The little princess in the back seat, strapped in by her seatbelt, tilted her head and looked at the man in the passenger seat, whose eyes, like her father's, were prone to redness, with a puzzled expression.

"Auntie, why is Little Bacteria crying? She cries even more than I do."

"But I'm just a kid."

Children's words are innocent, yet a single blow can be fatal.

Guo Qian's crying stopped abruptly, and he couldn't utter a single word.

A three-year-old child complaining that he cries a lot is not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.

Li Yinxun burst into laughter, and the little princess in the back seat also giggled along, not knowing what she was laughing at, but just laughing along was the right thing to do.

Guo Qian turned his head away, his ears red, "I didn't cry..."

The streetlights outside the car window flashed by one by one, casting flickering light on his face.

After driving for a while, Guo Qian realized that the route was not right and was getting further and further off course. He was puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

"Where are we going? Not to your sister's house, are we?"

Li Yinxun didn't answer directly, "You'll know when you get there."

Guo Qian was full of questions and felt restless the whole way. He secretly glanced at the little girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror. The little princess was looking at the scenery through the car window, pointing outside with her little finger and babbling. She was not shy at all and seemed to be very close to Li Yinxun.

But the more this happened, the more questions arose in his mind.

After driving for about half an hour, the car finally turned into a villa area surrounded by green trees and stopped in front of a large villa.

Guo Qian got out of the car, looked up, and froze on the spot.

With its white walls and gray tiles, neat courtyard, and beautifully trimmed flowerbeds at the entrance, it looks quite impressive.

His eyes widened, and he blurted it out.

"Whose house is this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little princess raised her hand high.

"This is my house!"

The little girl held her head high, looking proud, as if she were asserting her sovereignty.

Guo Qian looked at the tiny child who wasn't even as tall as his own leg, and his lips twitched.

Li Yinxun, holding the little princess in her arms and pulling the still-dazed Guo Qian with her other hand, walked into the villa.

"From now on, this will be our home. Let's go inside."

With just that one casual remark, Guo Qian's mind went blank.

I remember the two of us eating at roadside stalls together, squeezing onto buses together, and counting our money together to make ends meet.

Guo Qian looked down at the hand that Li Yinxun was holding, feeling a bittersweet feeling in his heart, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.
