CHAPTER 496: CHAPTER 494: LITTLE UNCLE, WOULD YOU MIND GIVING ME A RIDE?

"Aunt?"

Lu Sinian was a bit surprised. It was the first time he heard Li Siru take the initiative to speak to him, and in such a teasing tone.

When he was little, he thought the new aunt was mute. Later, he occasionally heard her respond with a timid demeanor.

On his last birthday, he heard her speak the most, and it left a deep impression on him.

Seeing her again today, it still felt a bit unbelievable.

"Nian Nian, why are you looking at me so surprised?" Li Siru smiled. Although she hadn’t really interacted with this child for three years, she truly considered him family. It was easy to see who was nice to her and who wasn’t.

"Aunt, I’m happy you came to see me." The child was indeed a little flattered, feeling that someone who usually didn’t care about anything was now caring about him.

"Your Tongtong’s mother said the same thing, seems like she understands you well." Li Siru moved to place the bouquet aside.

Lu Sinian didn’t refute her, just said, "Of course Sister Tongtong understands me! But Aunt, the flowers you brought are different from others, they’re really pretty!"

"Really?" Li Siru laughed, feeling as if she’d been praised, "Aunt wants to open a flower shop, so I’ve been practicing flower arranging lately."

"So these flowers are made by you, Aunt? You’re amazing, you really kept your talent hidden!" The child said without reservation, and Li Siru maintained a smile on her face.

Ji Niandong went over to put the flowers in a vase and asked, "Where does Sister-in-law want to open a flower shop?"

"I want to open it around New City Road." Li Siru replied lightly.

"That’s indeed a good place," Lu Beichen remarked casually, "I remember Big Brother built a café there by the roadside."

"Yes, I plan to turn it into a flower shop and sell coffee as well."

Li Siru mentioned it as if it was ordinary, and Lu Beichen smiled faintly, "That’s great!"

Ji Niandong was a bit puzzled, "Husband, what are you talking about?"

"I’ll tell you later." Lu Beichen glanced at Li Siru.

Ji Niandong affectionately called him "husband," and although Little Bun Face was used to it, Li Siru couldn’t help but ask, "Tongtong, did you change the way you call him?"

Ji Niandong instinctively glanced at Gu Xiyao, "Just changing things up for fun!"

"Ew~" Lu Sinian shrugged, "Sister Tongtong, you’ve been influenced by dad and become so mushy too."

"Couples naturally start to resemble each other more," Lu Beichen said, handing the apple he had peeled to Ji Niandong.

Lu Sinian frowned and said, "Dad, I’m the patient, wasn’t the apple for me?"

"Wife first, I’ll peel another for you," Lu Beichen replied calmly, picking up another apple to peel.

Little Bun Face pouted, and Ji Niandong offered the apple to his mouth, "Want a bite first?"

Lu Sinian bit heavily and then mumbled, "In Sister Tongtong’s heart, Nian Nian comes first."

Lu Beichen couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Gu Xiyao stood up and said, "Little Uncle, I have to visit the Ning Family, so I’ll leave first."

Lu Sinian looked at her nervously, swallowing the food in his mouth, "Make sure to eat some good food when you go back."

Gu Xiyao smiled at him, "Don’t worry, I’m in good health." She turned to Lu Beichen, "Little Uncle, would you mind giving me a ride? It seems hard to get a taxi here."

Ji Niandong frowned and looked at Lu Beichen, who slowed down his apple peeling as if pondering her request.
