Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 129 Relief

Lou Xiao'e coaxed the two children to sleep.

Just as she was about to go to sleep, she heard the blood-pumping sound from next door. Although Yu Li's voice was very low, the partitions in this cabin were even thinner. So Lou Xiao'e listened intermittently for a long time.

Finally, the next door became quiet. Lou Xiao'e also let out a sigh of relief with a red face.

Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound at the door. Before she could look, the door was opened.

This frightened Lou Xiao'e so much that she was about to call for help.

He was hugged by the person who came, and at the same time, a voice sounded in his ears.

"Xiao'e, it's me!"

Hearing Li Ping'an's voice and feeling the familiar embrace.

Lou Xiao'e also calmed down.

She gently hit Li Ping'an and said, "Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Aren't you afraid that Sister Yu Li will find out? You are too brave, aren't you?"

Li Pingan smiled and crawled into the bed. He hugged Lou Xiaoe and kissed her hard. He said, "Don't be afraid. It was your sister Li who asked me to come here."

"What? Sister Li asked you to come?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Ping'an in surprise, and didn't even notice that Li Ping'an's restless hand was placed where it shouldn't be.

Li Pingan smiled proudly and said, "Yes, she already knew about our relationship, but she just didn't ask."

This time Lou Xiao'e was really surprised.

"Ah! How could she know? If she knew it a long time ago, why was she still so nice to me?"

Lou Xiao'e's words made Li Ping'an stop moving his hands. He hugged Lou Xiao'e tightly and said, "Xiao'e, Yu Li is the same as you. Her love for me has exceeded her love for herself. She doesn't want to leave me, nor does she want me to be embarrassed. So she has always tacitly accepted our relationship."

"She has been trying hard to maintain your relationship because she doesn't want me to be caught between you."

"Xiao'e, tell me how I, Li Ping'an, have the honor and ability to meet such wonderful women like you two in my life. My life is worth it!"

After hearing what Li Ping'an said, Lou Xiao'e also hugged Li Ping'an tightly and said, "I always thought Sister Li didn't know about us. Now it seems that she really cares more about us. She doesn't even take her own feelings into consideration. I always feel sorry for her."

Li Pingan stroked Lou Xiaoe's smooth back and said, "Actually, there is another reason why she is willing to accept you."

Lou Xiao'e asked puzzledly: "What other reasons are there?"

Li Ping'an leaned over to Lou Xiao'e's ear and said, "That's because she thinks I'm too powerful and she can't handle it alone. So she wants you to help her deal with me. That's why she asked me to come here tonight."

Lou Xiao'e blushed at Li Ping'an's words. She slapped Li Ping'an on the chest and said, "You rascal, you are a bull!"

Li Pingan waved his hands around and said with a smile: "Then I'll do it again!"

Suddenly, the bed in Lou Xiao'e's room began to shake along with the boat.

It was not until midnight that Li Ping'an quietly returned to Yu Li.

He gently hugged the woman who was willing to give everything for him. Feeling by her side, his heart calmed down.

The next day, after everyone had breakfast together, Yu Li took Lou Xiao'e, who was looking down as if she had done something wrong, to the deck to chat.

Li Pingan looked at the two older children helplessly.

Lou Zhenghua and his mother were also holding a child each, and they both looked at Li Pingan in confusion.

Li Ping'an did not hide anything and told Lou Zhenghua and Lou's mother what he had told Yu Li last night.

After hearing this, Lou Zhenghua and his mother also showed a worried look.

Li Pingan said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. Yu Li has known about Xiao'e and me for a long time. And she also said last night that she has always treated Xiao'e as a sister closer than her own sister. Let them go and talk. We will be a family from now on. We must live in harmony and happiness."

After hearing this, Lou Zhenghua was also pleased and said: "Yes, if a man wants to be successful in his career, he must have a harmonious family. A strong backing is the motivation for a man to work hard outside."

Mother Lou nodded and said, "From now on, Yu Li is also my own daughter. I must treat her well. She is so sensible."

Several people were watching the children and talking here, waiting for Li and Lou Xiao'e to come back.

Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e were also speaking their minds outside.

The two talked for a long time, and then Lou Xiao'e hugged Yu Li and cried. Then the two held hands and laughed happily.

When they came back, they saw Lou Xiao'e holding Yu Li's arm with a smile on her face. When she looked at Li Ping'an, she gave him a smug look.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e like this, Lou Zhenghua and his mother felt relieved.

After all, if it is not nice to say that my daughter is the third party, now that I can get Yu Li's recognition, it means that the hard work has paid off.

Although it was still equivalent to the second wife in the past, given the relationship between Li Ping'an and his daughter, as well as the pair of lovely twins, Father and Mother Lou believed that Li Ping'an would definitely treat their daughter well.

Mother Lou smiled and walked forward, holding Yu Li's hand and said, "Lili, you are my aunt's biological daughter from now on. Don't worry, I will support you no matter what happens in the future. If Xiao'e doesn't listen, I will deal with her together with you!"

Yu Li also smiled and took Lou's mother's hand and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Lou, Xiao'e and I are in a good relationship. She is closer to me than my own sister. I like her so much, how can I punish her?"

Lou Xiao'e also pouted and said proudly, "Yes, Mom, from now on, we two sisters will join forces to deal with Ping An. How can you destroy our relationship?"

Mother Lou smiled and tapped Lou Xiaoe's head and said, "What do you mean by 'clean up the peace'? It's good that they are safe, do they need you to clean up? I think you are the one who should be cleaned up the most!"

Lou Zhenghua also laughed and said, "Okay, you two will become sisters. Then your mother and I will adopt Yu Li as our goddaughter, and you two will become real sisters. Yu Li, do you think this is okay?"

After hearing what Lou Zhenghua said, Yu Li was a little hesitant to make a decision, so she looked at Li Pingan.

After hearing this, Li Ping'an thought it was a good thing and nodded in agreement.

When Yu Li saw Li Ping'an nodded, she said, "Uncle Lou, then I'm marrying up. From now on, you and Aunt Lou will be my godparents."

As she said this, Yu Li prepared to kneel down and kowtow to Lou Zhenghua and Lou's mother.

Lou's mother happily held Yu Li and said, "We are all family, there is no need to be so formal. We just need to get along well from now on."

Lou Zhenghua also said: "Yes, forget about these old rules. From now on, Yu Li, you are our good daughter."

Yu Li also tactfully called Lou Zhenghua, "Godfather!"

Then he called out to Lou's mother, "Godmother!"

This made Lou Zhenghua and his mother's mouths split with joy.

Mother Lou took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Yu Li's wrist.

"My daughter, it's not convenient now, and godmother doesn't have anything good to give you. I'll give you this bracelet as a gift."

"This bracelet originally came in pairs. One was given to Xiao'e, and this one is for you to wear!"

Yu Li was holding this crystal clear white jade bracelet, which was obviously not an ordinary item.

She quickly refused, "Godmother, this is too expensive, isn't it? You should just put it away."

Lou's mother held Yu Li's hand and said to her, "Just keep it if I give it to you. No matter how valuable it is, it is not as valuable as your daughter. As long as you two can live in harmony in the future, I, your godmother, will be relieved."

Lou Zhenghua also advised: "Lili, your godmother gave it to you, so just accept it. We are all family from now on. Let's not be so formal."

"You two just need to get along well with Ping An and try to have more cute children like this."

Lou Zhenghua's words made Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e blush.

Lou Xiao'e said to her father, "Why do you need so many? It makes people anxious every day."

Lou's mother smiled and said, "Go ahead. I'm the one who takes care of the child most of the time. Why are you so anxious? Now while I can still move, even if you have another child, I can help take care of it. If your father and I get old, there will be no one to help you take care of the child."

I don't know what to say. Why did we end up talking about having children?

Li Pingan said quickly, "Dad, Mom, I'm happy today. I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to add a few dishes for lunch. Let's have some fun together."

After hearing this, Lou Zhenghua nodded and said, "Okay, it's time to have some fun. Ping An, go and take care of the arrangements."

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Ping'an immediately handed the child to Yu Li and ran to the kitchen on the ship.

The topic everyone was talking about was too embarrassing. He was now sandwiched between two women, and he felt a little awkward. He might as well get out of here.

When we came to the ship's kitchen, we saw a variety of seafood and some seasonal vegetables.

Li Pingan started communicating with the chef.

Yesterday I saw that everyone liked to eat seafood, so I ordered more seafood. I also ordered some vegetables.

After leaving the cabin, he took out some fruit from the space and said that he bought it from an unknown crew member.

On the ship, they must eat more fruits and vegetables. After all, they will be on the ship for more than a week. If they don't eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins, not only the children, but also the adults will not be able to bear it.

After arranging lunch, Li Pingan returned to the room with some fruit.

Everybody was chatting animatedly and the little ones were having a blast.

Those who can run make those who can crawl cry, and those who can crawl pull down those who can run.

Such a scene made Li Ping'an's scalp tingle.

However, Lou Zhenghua really enjoyed this scene and was laughing and directing the children to play together.

Li Pingan put the fruit on the table and invited everyone to come and eat the fruit. Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e sat at the table holding their children, and Lou Zhenghua and his mother also came around with a smile.

The whole family was having a great time, and the children's laughter could be heard everywhere.

At noon, the crew brought a sumptuous lunch and everyone happily ate a seafood feast.

The little ones also ate it with great relish.

Seeing these scenes, Li Pingan felt that this was the happiest moment of his life.
