It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

Li Cheng thought to himself silently.

Meeting friends?

After listening to Li Cheng's bluff, the sensible Louise observed him again... his neat bangs without a single stray hair, his brand-new black wool coat, and his shiny leather shoes.

Do I need to dress up this carefully to see my friends?

My brother is a big liar.

He's definitely going out to scam other girls again, maybe even that nasty older sister I met at the salon last time.

Louise became certain of her guess. She tugged at Li Cheng's sleeve and asked with an expectant look, "Brother, brother, can Louise come along?"

The little girl is being cute again.

Taking my younger sister to meet my future father-in-law... it doesn't seem like a bad idea, but something just feels a little off.

Although Louise is lovely, I'll go alone today.

Li Cheng decided to ignore the little girl's attempts to be cute.

However, just as he was about to give an apologetic look and politely decline Louise's request to join his team...

Louise reached out a small hand and grabbed Li Cheng's sleeve, blinked her big eyes, and said pitifully:

“Dad has been very busy with work lately and is not home all day. Louise is so lonely staying at home alone.”

After failing to act cute twice, the little girl started trying to play the victim.

The results were remarkable, and Li Cheng hesitated.

Although Anderson stayed home and didn't go anywhere for the past two days, the little girl decisively sold out her excuse of playing the victim and successfully got out of the house.

But it wasn't a big problem; Li Cheng was indeed caught in an inner struggle because of the little girl's sob story.

Li Cheng genuinely wanted to meet his father-in-law alone this time, as it would be more formal.

But Louise looked so pitiful, and as her brother, he had an inescapable responsibility to heal his sister.

Li Cheng reached out and pinched Louise's soft cheek, internally weighing the pros and cons.

His purpose this time was actually quite simple: to make a good first impression on his father-in-law and then reveal his status as a son-in-law at the right time.

During the exchange, the two sides shared feelings and discussed Lavoisier's marriage to some extent.

Before leaving, leave some money as a token of filial piety, so that they can help improve your life if appropriate.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like there's really no problem bringing Louise along.

You know, older people love cute little kids. If he brings such a cute little sister along, he'll definitely like her more and more.

Then he could instruct Louise to act cute, and maybe his father-in-law would be so pleased that he would fully support his marriage to Lavoisier.

The father-in-law might even want to raise one himself, urging him to quickly have a lovely daughter with Lavoisier so he can take care of her.

Hey hey hey.

The more I think about it, the more reliable it seems.

As for Louise, as her brother's sister, she should cooperate with her brother in getting married, do her best to be cute and supportive, and at least not hold him back.

Okay, let's do it that way.

Li Cheng thought his idea made a lot of sense, so he said, "It's not that we can't go together, but Louise has to behave."

The little girl's attempt to elicit sympathy ultimately succeeded.

Although I don't know which girl my brother is going to deceive, it's always good to know your enemy beforehand.

Furthermore, the fact that she is the younger sister should also make the girl lower her guard and make it easier for her to find out what's going on.

"Yes! Louise will definitely be a good girl!"

Louise readily agreed, then added with a heartfelt cheer:

"I love my older brother the most."

Well? !

Li Cheng couldn't help but gasp: "Say it again."

?

Louise tilted her head in confusion, then asked again, a little puzzled, "You like your brother the most?"

"Yes, that's it, well done."

Li Cheng covered his slightly itchy nose, almost getting a nosebleed of happiness.

Louise has a soft, cute face.

Soft, supple calves.

And her slender waist, wrapped in a little red dress.

To hear such a cute little sister say, "I love my brother the most," is truly heartwarming.

Ah Wei is dead.

Chapter 319 Just say "I agree"...

A light brown horse-drawn carriage sped along the wide streets of Paris.

In the not-so-comfortable carriage, Li Cheng and Louise sat together, but instead of chatting to pass the time, they were each lost in their own thoughts.

Li Cheng lay half-reclined on the soft seat, feeling a bit of a headache.

He was naturally thinking about his preparations for meeting his father-in-law later.

Although I had planned ahead, it was still my first time meeting my girlfriend's parents, so I was quite nervous.

However, to be honest, although he has more than one girlfriend, it would take adding up all the girls' parents to make up a couple... and that's with Princess Her Highness being included.

Newton's parents died, Lavoisier's mother died, and Veronique's father died.

It can only be said that life is inherently unpredictable, and losing one's father or mother is almost a standard occurrence for celebrities, so it's not surprising that this situation occurs.

As for himself.

It's never been mentioned before, but actually, his parents also passed away hand in hand during a couple's bungee jump after he came of age, which can be considered as fulfilling their vow to walk through life together... Haha, what a dark joke.

Far away.

Louise turned to the side, her slender legs pressed together tightly under her red dress, without a single gap.

Her little head, styled in pigtails, turned to one side, her two dark eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window, trying to hide her expression from her brother.

Just before she left, Li Cheng told her that she was going to meet someone very important to her brother, and that she should remember not to be shy, to be nice, and to try to be cute. He said he would give her a reward when she got back.

Although it was the first time Louise had heard the term "acting cute," she understood what it meant.

But despite her cuteness, the little girl is now very concerned about who this "person who is very important to her brother" is referring to, and why such a special title is used.

Are they really friends?

Or... is she actually the kind of girlfriend who will get married?

I really care.

So the carriage continued on, each lost in their own thoughts, and soon arrived at their destination.

No. 103, Gongqiao Street.

Frank Lavoisier, the address where Lavoisier's biological father and Li Cheng's father-in-law now resides, is named after an arched bridge at the north and south ends of the street.

After paying the fare, I got off the bus and walked to the door of a slightly old wooden house.

Knock knock knock.

After knocking, Li Cheng took a deep breath, straightened his posture, and gave a polite yet friendly smile.

A moment later, the door opened.

The person standing in front of me was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall, probably 40 meters, but his face and attire made him look quite refined, the kind of gentle and scholarly man.

He's quite handsome; no wonder he can have such a beautiful daughter.

"May I ask who you are?"

Frank, who opened the door, gave Li Cheng a questioning look.

“Hello, Attorney Frank,” Li Cheng said, using the pre-prepared excuse. “I’m here for legal advice. There are some important matters I’d like your opinion on.”

At the same time, he reached out and gently patted the little girl's head: "Louise."

Louise obediently raised her head, revealing her adorable face, and tried her best to suppress her nervousness at meeting a stranger. In a soft, sweet voice unique to little girls, she timidly called out, "Hello, Uncle."

Cute attack.

The effect is doubled for those with a loli fetish and those over 30.

Frank was clearly healed as well, his expression softening considerably: "Legal consultation? Please come in."

They were then welcomed into the somewhat messy house, where the three sat down on two simple sofas. Frank sat on one side, while the brother and sister sat on the other.

As soon as she sat down, Louise timidly clung to Li Cheng's arm, practically shrinking into his embrace.

After all, it was an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar people. Although Li Cheng told her to try not to be shy, she was still very afraid of people. Only by sticking close to her brother could she feel safe enough.

Li Cheng patted her back gently with a hint of pity.

Frank discreetly observed the two men's behavior, quickly analyzed the situation in his mind, and asked, "Mr. Eber, which aspect are you inquiring about?"

In which aspect?

Li Cheng thought for a moment and casually said, "The laws concerning marriage."

Anyway, the legal consultation was just a joke; the purpose was to get a general idea of ​​what kind of person Frank was through the conversation.

Even though it was his father-in-law, Li Cheng still needed to figure out what kind of temperament he was before revealing everything—if he was the type to be an alcoholic and gambler, he planned to just give him some living expenses regularly from now on.

"Regarding marriage?"

Frank stroked his chin, organizing the knowledge in his mind, and then asked, "Could you be more specific?"

"It's related to marriage."

Li Cheng casually remarked, "I married a girl I liked. She's a wonderful girl, and we both love each other, but things are a bit complicated now..."
