While Lu Li took in the shock, the man had stuffed the cotton candy in her hand with a poker face. He then turned to walk away.

Keeping tabs on them, Shen Xi sighed to herself and stared deeply at Fu Qingli. Li Yuan was right. Dad or Qingye should impart the know-how to Fu Qingli on the way to a woman’s heart.

Li Yuan glanced at his fair lady and tipped her the wink. He was under the impression that it came with the territory that men would try anything to please the ladies in the courting stage.

Men could always learn even if they were venturing into uncharted territory so long as they had the heart to. However, Fu Qingli’s behavior left them speechless.

While Lu Li was not looking, Shen Xi shrugged at Li Yuan. She got the feeling that Fu Qingli did not reject or hate Lu Li’s presence. Otherwise, judging by that ruthless nature of his, he would keep it strictly business even if she was the mother of his children.

Fu Qingli’s attitude toward Shen Xi back then was the best example.

Sitting on Li Yuan’s shoulders, Lu Zhen caught a glimpse of the look on Shen Xi’s face. He looked at her strangely with confusion in his eyes.

Shen Xi gestured to keep it between them while handing him a box of skittles. She asked, “Lil’ Zhen, do you have a sweet tooth?”

Shaking his head, Lu Zhen quietly gave the skittles to Lu Guoguo instead.

Lu Guoguo always had a craving for something sweet, but Mom never allowed her to have too much. Since she could never have enough, she happily took over the candy and looked at Shen Xi.

“Thank you, Aunty.”

The girl was smart and adorable, always saying the right things at the right time.

Shen Xi smiled at the little girl. “There’s a stall selling chewy candy ahead. I’ll get some for you. There’s also a hard candy store over there. Let’s get that later too.”

Lu Li wanted to say something but held her tongue at the cozy scene. Never mind. It was just this one time. She could allow the little girl to eat to her heart’s content for once.

“Xixi.”

Song Wenye’s voice was heard from behind. She drew close and was stunned by the group. Nevertheless, she pulled herself together and earnestly said hello. “Hi, Big Brother, Sister-in-law.”

For some reason, the word “Sister-in-law” brought Fu Qingli glee.

Stiffening her facial muscles, Lu Li made it clear with a chilling voice. “I’m not the sister-in-law.”

Fu Qingli’s handsome face fell as he coldly blurted, “She’s not.”

He then turned on his heel and took off.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know.” Song Wenye gave Lu Li an embarrassed look and pulled Shen Xi to one side to ask in secret, “How should I address her?”

Shen Xi quickly got to the introductions. “Lil’ Ye, this is Ms. Lu. Ms. Lu, this is Song Wenye. This is my brother, Yu Yuanxi.”

Yu Yuanxi smiled tenderly and uttered politely, “Hello, Ms. Lu.”

Lu Li courteously exchanged greetings. With Fu Qingli taking Lu Guoguo far with an emotionless figure and a heavy cloud over his head, Lu Li frowned in puzzlement and chased after them.
