The 99th Divorce

Looking at his child’s serious expression, Li Sicheng was now in a dilemma.

When Li Jianyue saw her father remaining silent, she cocked her head to the side and asked, “Daddy, you’re not going to go back on your word, are you?”

Li Sicheng arched his eyebrows, and still holding on to his daughter, he replied, “Not at all. I told you that as long as I could do it, I would, didn’t I?

Li Jianyue heard him and nodded her head in reply.

“But regarding this, I can’t do it.” Li Sicheng’s serious expression didn’t change as he spoke. “Since I’m unable to do this, I’m not going back on my word.”

Li Jianyue scrunched up her eyebrows when she heard that and raised her voice a little with disappointment. “Why?”

From the couch, Ou Ming and Yu Lili witnessed how Li Sicheng looked trying to pacify his child, and they couldn’t resist laughing. At this point, Li Jianqian and Li Mosen looked over curiously, eager to hear Li Sicheng’s answer.

Li Sicheng put Li Jianyue down and responded earnestly. “Because if there’s an additional person on the bed, your mom won’t be able to sleep.”

Li Jianyue looked doubtful of this answer. But when she saw how earnest he looked, she gave in and asked, “Really?”

“Really.” Li Sichen nodded his head, his expression as truthful-looking as could be.

Ou Ming couldn’t help but laugh as he looked over at Yu Lili.

Yu Lili’s eyes were focused on little Ersu who had just been fooled, and her smile widened, radiating a love that was almost motherly.

It was beautiful.

Yu Lili’s smile was even more mesmerizing than the interaction between father and daughter.

“Daddy, I don’t believe you.” Li Jianyue voice was undeniably grave as she clarified, “In the past when you weren’t home, I would sleep with Mommy. And Mommy always fell asleep without any problem!”

“It’s fine if it’s one more, but not if it’s two more. That will make Mommy uncomfortable.” Li Sicheng spouted this nonsense with a straight face.

“Hmph, then you can go sleep with Older Brother. I’ll sleep with Mommy.”

“That won’t do either. If I don’t sleep with Mommy, I won’t be able to fall asleep.”

Li Jianyue started to get angry. Flinging out her arms widely, she yelled, “Daddy, you’re being too childish! You’re already a grown-up, and you still want to sleep with Mommy? You’re already 30! Can’t you be more mature?”

Ou Ming and Yu Lili broke out in guffaws when they heard this.

Su Qianci was carrying out the bowls of sweet soup, and she coincidentally heard her daughter’s words. Her smile disappeared as she admonished, “Ersu! How can you speak to your father this way?”

Li Jianyue harrumphed and turned her head away with her little arms folded across her chest. “Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight!”

“Ersu, be obedient.” Li Sicheng didn’t wait for Su Qianci to speak. He picked his daughter up in an effort to placate her. “For the sake of Daddy and Mommy’s health, you cannot sleep with us. Change your wish.”

“I don’t want to. I want to sleep with Mommy. Daddy, you can sleep with Older Brother.” Li Jianyue was being extremely stubborn and showed no sign of budging whatsoever. “I need to help you be more independent Daddy, just like you did with my older brothers. You have to learn to grow up, alright Daddy?”

Ou Ming was howling in laughter as he asked, “Is this how you bring up your children?”
