However, they could only endure it. After all, this sneaky woman was the rightful mistress of the Li Family.

Although Jiang Yule could not see what was going on inside, she could still hear some voices when she put her ear against the door. After she had identified which voice was the doctor’s and tuned it out, Jiang Yule listened carefully to the familiar woman and Li Sui’an’s soft voice.

“An-An, have you been standing here waiting for Jiang Yule to come and for you? Don’t bother waiting. Let me tell you a little secret. Jiang Yule is a bad person. She used to secretly pinch children’s faces and even spank their bottoms.

“When Mr. Li isn’t around, does she give you the cold shoulder? She’s the kind of person who smiles while hiding a knife. It’s better to stay away from her, you hear? Otherwise, she might secretly spank your bottom one day!”

Li Sui’an thought to himself, ‘You’re mistaken. Jiang Yule is always openly spanking my bottom!’

Jiang Yuxin noticed that no matter how much she instigated, the child in front of her remained indifferent, not even bothering to spare her a glance. Jiang Yuxin looked back at Li Xingyi and the others who were still busy with something and not noticing her talking to the child. Then, she gritted her teeth and threatened the little boy, “It’s useless to wait. She doesn’t want you.”

Li Sui’an, who had been ignoring her, suddenly turned around. Jiang Yuxin thought that her evil plan had succeeded and was about to add fuel to the fire when the little boy’s tiny mouth opened and he said in an even fiercer tone, “Abandoning a child is a serious crime. If she dares, I will let the law punish her!”

This little young heir may not have grown up yet, but his every move already carried an air of dominance.

Jiang Yuxin was speechless. ‘How does this five-year-old brat know everything?’

Although her voice was faint, Jiang Yule still heard the child’s answer clearly, which made her extremely happy.

The phrase “so-and-so doesn’t want you anymore” was a statement that many foolish adults used to tease children. Li Sui’an was more sensitive than other children because his father passed away early. So, to ensure that he would grow up healthy both physically and mentally, and not be affected by hurtful words, Jiang Yule had prepared a plan in advance. She found a response to refute such phrases and shared it with the child.

However, she did not expect her method to come into use so soon.

While she was grinning from ear to ear, something big happened in Zuo You’s wife’s ward.

After Zuo You charged his phone, it started vibrating crazily as though it had malfunctioned. He glanced at his phone and found dozens of missed calls. The name of the contact shocked him.

Jiang Yule had planned to visit Zhong Xiaohui again before leaving the hospital, but since Li Xingyi was by her side, she could only obediently accompany him. She could not help but admire her own professionalism, and how she never forgot to maintain her persona no matter what.

“Doctor, what’s wrong with my husband’s eyes?” Her face was full of worry, and her voice was trembling.

Li Xingyi deliberately glanced at her. He did not hear that strange voice. ‘Maybe she’s saying what she’s actually thinking this time.’

The doctor was touched by Jiang Yule’s love for Li Xingyi and could not help but comfort her. “Madam, you don’t have to worry. There’s nothing wrong with Master Li’s eyes. This is just a routine checkup.”

Jiang Yule let out a long sigh. ‘Oh, God bless him! I’d be willing to exchange Li Sui’an’s kidney for the health of Li Xingyi’s eyes.’

Li Xingyi was speechless. He almost wanted to cry at the audacious thought from this woman and the mental image of a sickly Li Sui’an.

Li Sui’an ran over and tugged at Li Xingyi’s sleeve. “Uncle Li, when can we go home?”

“We can leave now.”

“Then let’s hurry back. I still have to study.” The little boy was so sleepy that he kept yawning, and his body even began to sway.

Li Xingyi stroked the child’s hair and nodded at Yang Chen. The bodyguard understood and immediately picked up the child. “Young Master Li, sleep in my arms for now. We’ll head home soon.”

Jiang Yule thought, ‘I want to hold him, too.’

Li Xingyi glanced at her body, which looked very ugly to him all of a sudden, with an indescribable contempt in his gaze.

As though she had realized something, Jiang Yule glanced at the large group of people in the room, but she could not find Jiang Yuxin’s figure. ‘How strange. Is it possible that she suddenly changed her mind and no longer wants to be a kissa*s?’

…

Later, when Li Xingyi and everyone else squeezed into the elevator, the drawbacks of overcrowding became apparent. Hearing the alarm beeping at the exceeded weight limit, everyone could not hide their embarrassment.

Jiang Yule had been observing Li Xingyi’s expression all the while. As she watched the corners of his mouth slowly form a grimace, she immediately understood and coughed.

“Ahem…”
