Chapter 409 - Become a Little Cunning (1/2)
As she stared at the baby booties on the table, Li Qin Yao could not hold back her smile.
She had thought of various ways to announce this good news with her husband and in the end, Li Qin Yao had pulled out Zhang Li Xue's old booties and had wanted to use this as a clue for her husband.
At this time, she could not wait to see how will Zhang Yu Han reacted.
Glancing at the clock again, Li Qin Yao took a deep breath before she walked out of the room to find her daughter. The little princess was grasping her tiny hand around her pencil color as she drew something on her papers.
”Li Xue, what are you drawing?”
Hearing her mother's voice, the little girl was startled and she quickly hid the paper from her mother. ”Mommy, you cannot see.”
”Why not?”
”Well, it's a secret.”
Looking at Zhang Li Xue's eyes that resembled her father, blinking at her in her attempt to look cute, Li Qin Yao let out a laugh. ”You really wouldn't let mommy see it?” Li Qin Yao stared back at her daughter with the same cuteness vibe.
Zhang Li Xue began to waver upon hearing her mother's tone of voice. ”I can show you, but you cannot tell anyone else, alright?”
Li Qin Yao nodded. ”En. I promised.” Once she gave her word, the little girl took out the paper and showed her drawing to her. Li Qin Yao stared at the drawing with some unknown colorful object and wonder what were those.
”This is mommy,” Zhang Li Xue pointed out voluntarily. ”This is daddy and this is me.” She lowered her gaze and continued, ”I was going to draw the baby before you come.”
A soft smile curled on her lips. Li Qin Yao stared at the drawing for a few seconds longer and bent down to kiss her daughter on the cheek. ”Well, you can continue your drawing. When you finished, let's go to great-grandfather's place, alright? Didn't you said you wanted to accompany great-grandfather for lunch?”
The little girl's eyes sparkled upon hearing that they were heading to her great-grandfather's place. It was Zhang Li Xue's favorite place. Her great-grandfather would always make her barbecued chicken wing whenever she came and once she had her fill, her father would teach her to play basketball.
Once Zhang Li Xue had finished her drawing, the mother and daughter went to Zhang's residence to accompany Zhang Jing for a meal.
After the wedding, both Zhang Xi and Liu Hui Lan had head back to Country C, and Zhang Yu Ying and Wei Jun Hao had taken off for their honeymoon. At the thought that Zhang Jing would be lonely, Li Qin Yao decided to take her daughter over to the house.
When they arrived, Zhang Jing had greeted them at the door and ushered them inside happily.
”Grandfather, why do you look so happy?” Li Qin Yao asked. Looking at Zhang Jing's face, Li Qin Yao could sense that the old man was up to something.
”Great-grandfather, did you make me my favorite chicken wing?” Zhang Li Xue looked at the elderly man with an adorable expression.
Zhang Jing laughed. He bent to pat the little princess on her head and spoke, ”Of course. Great-grandfather knew that Li Xue is coming to visit. How can I not make your favorite chicken wing? Come. Go and wash your hand. We'll eat together, alright?”
As Zhang Jing led her daughter to the kitchen, Li Qin Yao heard her phone chimed in her purse. She pulled out her phone and received the text message from her husband, informing her that he had arrived in Y City and will be returning to home after he had settled a few more works with Qi Ming Wei.
After reminding her husband to stay safe, Li Qin Yao walked into the kitchen and saw Auntie Wu staring at the kitchen counter with a dazed look on her face. Li Qin Yao followed her gaze and saw that there were a few dishes lined up and most of them were Zhang Jing's favorite food.
