Chapter 71 - Dad, I want to Ride a Horse (1/2)

Nan Xun’s heart moved, she ran barefooted and tried to climb up Li Chen’s thigh. Then, she succeeded in standing on Li Chen’s thigh, she held his neck in her hands and pointed her butt to the smiling woman.

“Dad, Dad, you play with me, don’t talk to this aunt.”

Yu Manshan’s delicate face with light make up stiffened, but she soon smiled again. “Is this Nan Nan, she’s so cute.”

Nan Xun glanced back at her. “Of course, I’m cute. When I grow up, I’m sure to look better than you.”

Yu Manshan’s smile froze again, “Hehe, of course, how could this aunt compare with little princess Nan Nan?”

Li Chen picked up Nan Xun and said goodbye, then took his baby daughter to the bedroom to play house.

Yu Manshan sat alone in the huge living room, her face was very ugly.

In the evening, the two stayed for dinner, so Nan Xun’s request for carrot porridge was gone. The meal was very rich and healthy. There was no big fish and meat. Aunt Li boiled the gruel with preserved egg and lean meat and the soup with pork ribs and yam, she also fried several light vegetable dishes.

Li Chen brought his chopsticks with vegetables to Nan Xun.

Nan Xun’s eyes widened.

Did he do it deliberately? He knew she didn’t like green vegetables, she wanted to eat meat, to eat pork ribs!

Li Chen scooped a spoonful of congee with preserved eggs and lean meat from his bowl, blew it and fed Nan Xun.

Nan Xun was angry and didn’t want to eat it, but she happened to catch the shock on the woman’s face who was named Yu Manshan. So, she was relieved and immediately opened her mouth and swallowed the porridge.

Li Chen looked at his daughter’s puffed cheeks. He couldn’t help but poke it with his finger. He almost caused Nan Xun to squirt out her food.

Nan Xun stared at him and caught him smiling, the arc from the raised corner of his mouth was evident that it wasn’t flat.

“Li Chen gege, you shouldn’t spoil Nan Nan.” Yu Manshan smiled and leaned over to Li Chen. “If you pamper her like this, what would she do at school? If she can’t take care of herself, she would be teased by her teachers and classmates.”

Old Li and Yu Manshan’s grandfather were old friends. Although Li Chen has a daughter now, he was still alone. If they were together, the two would naturally enjoy their success.

So, the two elders looked at each other with a smile on their face.

Yu Manshan’s closeness, Li Chen didn’t explicitly refuse, but he didn’t answer Yu Manshan.

Yu Manshan was a little embarrassed and continued: “Li Chen gege, believe me, my sister’s children are often raised by me. I have more experience than you.”

Nan Xun’s little face stiffened and asked little eight, “Is this woman suggesting that she would be a competent stepmother?”

The void beast immediately replied, “This woman looks very smart and difficult to deal with. You make sure to nip your daddy Li Chen and her adultery in the bud!”

Nan Xun listened to little eight’s words and immediately pouted her small mouth, “Dad, will others really make fun of me? People are afraid.”

(TL note: she jumps to third person as “people” because she’s too shy or doesn’t want to lose face by referring to herself. This type of writing style is common in CN novels.)

Li Chen’s face became a little cold. He glanced at Yu Manshan and coldly said: “No one would dare make fun of my baby. My princess daughter can be as spoiled as she wants.”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Manshan’s beautiful face suddenly turned pale, while Nan Xun grinned triumphantly and revealed two small tiger teeth, which made her look so cute.

Grandpa Yu’s expression was also a bit ugly and old Li coughed awkwardly. “Eat dinner, sit down.”
