Xiaobao looked at his mommy and then at Li Rui. She puffed up her cheeks and whispered, “Daddy, this is Mommy’s first time putting on makeup.”

Dabao looked even more serious. “Daddy, Mommy is very beautiful when she doesn’t wear makeup. Mommy doesn’t usually wear makeup…”

Chu Ning was shocked.

They were her own children but didn’t hesitate to sell her out.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard Li Rui’s fatherly grunt. It was really too unexpected, causing Chu Ning to look at him a few more times.

Li Rui lowered his eyes and stared at Dabao and Xiaobao. “Come here and tell Daddy your names.”

Dabao and Xiaobao exhaled softly and walked towards Li Rui hand in hand. It looked like Daddy wouldn’t be gone.

Li Rui reached out and gently rubbed Xiaobao’s head. He looked at Dabao and said in a low voice, “Sister first.”

Dabao nodded.

Xiaobao blinked and looked adorably at Li Hui. She rubbed her head against Li’s palm like a kitten. She thought happily that her daddy spoke so beautifully it was like a dream.

Li Rui said, “You haven’t answered Daddy yet.”

Xiaobao came back to her senses. She blinked her big eyes and said cutely, “My name is Xiaobao. It means little baby.”

Li Rui looked at Dabao.

“My name is Dabao, Big Baby!”

Li Rui nodded and picked up Xiaobao and put him on his lap. With his other hand, he picked up Dabao. “Good boy.”

Xiaobao was bubbling with happiness. She couldn’t help but kiss his daddy’s face. “Xiaobao likes Daddy.”

Li Rui froze for a moment. He was surprised that he didn’t reject such intimacy. He suddenly understood his grandfather, his father, and his mother. The Li family spanned more than fifty generations and had no daughters. When they saw cute little girls on the road, they yearned for the girls so much that they wanted to carry them away immediately.

Li Rui was silent for a moment. He lowered his voice and said unnaturally, “Yes, Daddy likes you too.”

Xiaobao hugged Li Rui’s neck blissfully.

Li Rui said nothing.

He was quiet for a few seconds and looked at Chu Ning. “Did you look for me at noon?”

Chu Ning came back to her senses. “Yes.”

However, her mind was still filled with images of their familial bonding. Dabao and Xiaobao were not his children. She had brought the two children with her because she wanted to scare him. In the end, she was frightened by him.

Li Rui’s dark eyes scanned her makeup.

Chu Ning smiled and blinked her big eyes. “Fourth Master, do you think I’m beautiful?”

Li Rui said, “Beautiful.”

Chu Ning was shocked.

Li Rui smirked. “Too beautiful to look at.”

Chu Ning pursed her lips and opened her mouth to say “thank you” with emphasis. She understood that she had met her match today! In that case, she would just say it. Chu Ning did not want to continue with the boring act and placed his black jade ring on the coffee table.

Li Rui stared at the black ring with his dark eyes. “You want to break the engagement?”

Bang!

Li Jing had just prepared tea and fruit juice. When he opened the door and heard this, he almost dropped the tray in his hand.

Li Rui looked up, his eyes cold.

Li Jie stood there and forgot to react. What had he just heard? Would he be silenced by the Fourth Master? What terrified him, even more, was that someone actually wanted to reject the Fourth Master! He suddenly understood what Miss Chu want to achieve this afternoon. She just wanted to break the engagement!

For a moment, there was silence. Then Li Rui looked down at Dabao and Xiaobao. “Follow Uncle Li Jie to the pond to catch fish. We’ll have dinner, okay?”

Xiaobao nodded and looked at Chu Ning. She puffed up her cheeks and a big question mark appeared on her little head. Did Mommy suddenly not like Daddy?

Dabao pursed his lips and his eyes darkened. Although he liked Daddy very much, he could only forget it if Mommy didn’t like him. He held Xiaobao’s hand. “Let’s go catch fish with Uncle Li Jie.”

Xiaobao nodded cutely and followed his brother out.

Li Jie even replied carefully, “Fourth Master, Miss Chu, I’ll bring Little Young Master and Miss to catch fish first.”

“Yeah.”

“Thank you.”

The two of them spoke almost simultaneously, glancing at each other.

Chu Ning looked at Dabao and Xiaobao, who were not even happy to walk, and instantly felt upset. It was not until the study door closed again that she turned back to look at Li Rui. “I want to ask Fourth Master a few questions.”
