Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 128 Leaving

No one in the Siheyuan knew about Li Ping'an's transfer.

Even Yan Jiecheng, who knew the inside story, was specifically told by Li Pingan not to talk nonsense.

Yan Jiecheng is now listless because of Liang Yuer's torture, and his family is constantly worried about Cui Sheng. This also makes him spend more time away from home. He always makes excuses to go to the countryside and never come back.

Li Pingan arranged everything. Finally, the day of departure arrived.

Lou Zhenghua sent a car to pick up the family.

Li Pingan took Yu Li and the two children, as well as several large bags of stuff, into the car.

This time they left in a very low-key manner. No one in the courtyard knew about it, and no one came to see them off.

When the car arrived at Yu Li's home, Yu Linhai and Yu's mother came out and hugged Yu Li and the child, reluctant to leave.

Yu's mother and Yu Li's eyes were red from crying.

Finally, at Yu Linhai's instruction, Yu Li and Li Pingan took a car to Lou's house.

The two families will also be together.

This time, Lou Zhenghua used three cars to take them to Tianjin Port.

The first car was for Lou Zhenghua and his two children, the second was for Li Pingan and his family, and the car at the back was full of luggage.

Yu Li had never even left the city since she was a child, and was very curious about everything outside.

There were two children who were more curious than her. Li Haoran and Li Haoyu were both over two years old. They were not at all quiet sitting in the car. They were held in the arms of Li Pingan and Yu Li. Their two little hands were pulling on the car windows, looking outside.

Although Sijiucheng is not far from Tianjin Port, the road is not easy to travel on and the car speed cannot be increased. It will take six or seven hours.

After sitting with the two children for a while, Yu Li began to doze off and soon fell asleep leaning against the bed.

The car drove until noon, and the car in front stopped.

Li Pingan and his friends' car also stopped.

Lou Zhenghua got out of the car holding Li Haoyue. Lou Xiaoe and the others also came out slowly.

Li Pingan also woke up Yu Li and the two children, and the family got out of the car.

Lou Zhenghua said, "It's safe. Let's take a rest and eat something before we go."

Li Pingan also nodded and replied: "Okay, Uncle Lou. I'm hungry too."

Lou Xiao'e came over holding the child and started talking to Yu Li.

Li Ping'an took out the large pancake that he had prepared long ago from his luggage, rolled it with some vegetables and started eating.

Lou Xiao'e prepared steamed buns and vegetables, and everyone gathered together to eat.

Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li were obviously very curious about this outing, and they chattered non-stop.

While eating, Lou Zhenghua said to Li Pingan, "I have chartered a boat in Tianjin Port in advance. We will have to stop at other ports along the way. It will probably take more than a week to reach Hong Kong. We will eat and sleep on the boat. I wonder if the children can adapt to it?"

Compared to Lou Zhenghua's worries, Li Pingan is very confident.

Yu Li and her four children have been nourishing their bodies with spiritual fluids. Their physiques are many times better than those of ordinary people. They should be able to easily deal with minor problems like seasickness.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lou. I have some medicines prepared here. If anyone gets seasick, just ask me for some."

Li Pingan planned that if anyone got seasick, they could just drink some water with spiritual liquid added to it, and it would probably help.

After everyone had eaten and drunk well and had some exercise, they continued on their journey.

It was not until the afternoon that we arrived at Tianjin Port.

This day's ride made Yu Li and her friends never want to ride in a car again. It was so boring.

Lou Zhenghua arranged for them to rest in the guesthouse in Tianjin Port for one night and then board the ship tomorrow.

The group arrived at the guesthouse and found a restaurant nearby. They had a quick bite to eat and went back to sleep.

The next morning, everyone finally recovered.

We are going out to sea by boat today.

Arriving at the port, Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e were very surprised to see the tall ship outside. They had never been on such a big ship before. They had been on a small boat in the park before.

I boarded the boat with curiosity all the way.

The captain of the ship was a man in his forties with a weathered face. His name was Feng Changyun, and everyone called him Boss Feng.

He came over and said to Lou Zhenghua with a smile: "Mr. Lou, the cabin inside has been prepared for you. I will take you to settle down first."

Lou Zhenghua also smiled and said, "Then the rest of the journey will be handed over to you, Boss Feng. Just make the arrangements as you see fit."

Boss Feng brought everyone to the cabin, assigned rooms, and then left.

Li Pingan's family lived in a spacious suite, and the children ran around the room excitedly.

Next door is Lou Xiaoe with her two children.

Lou Zhenghua and his wife also lived opposite Lou Xiao'e.

Everyone put away their luggage and settled down. Finally, they relaxed.

Soon, the ship slowly sailed out of the harbor and headed for the vast ocean. At first, the children were very excited and leaned against the window to watch the sea, but as time went by, the wind and waves on the sea gradually became stronger and the ship began to shake.

Li Haoran and Li Haoyu were still children after all, and they were the first to show symptoms of seasickness.

Yu Li hurried to find Li Pingan to get medicine. Li Pingan gave the children water with spiritual liquid, and sure enough, they regained their vitality in a short while.

Yu Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, while Li Pingan secretly thanked himself for being well prepared.

After a while, Lou Zhenghua came over and said, "Ping An, where is your medicine? Your aunt Lou is also seasick."

Li Ping'an went to the room, took out the spiritual liquid water that he had prepared long ago, and gave it to Lou Zhenghua.

"Uncle Lou, you and Aunt Lou should drink some. This medicine is quite valuable and can relieve some of the symptoms we have while on the boat. I'll go give some to Xiao'e and the children as well."

Lou Zhenghua nodded, took the teacup and went back.

Li Ping'an also took a cup and gave it to Lou Xiao'e and the children.

Coming to Lou Xiaoe's side, this tiger woman was actually leaning on the window with her child to watch the sea.

Seeing Li Ping'an coming by himself, Lou Xiao'e ran over, hugged Li Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, we are finally leaving. We will start a new life from now on. I am looking forward to it."

Li Pingan stroked her head and said, "Yeah, we will always be together from now on. We will never be apart again."

Lou Xiao'e said worriedly, "Ping An, when are you going to tell Sister Yu Li about us? I haven't dared to look her in the eye these past few days, for fear that she would be angry if she knew."

"It's okay. I'll tell her in the next few days. I promise she won't be mad at you."

After comforting Lou Xiaoe, Li Pingan returned to his room.

Yu Li was also sorting the children's clothes.

In the evening, Boss Feng had dinner brought to them.

Tonight's meal was quite rich, but it was all fish, with only a few simple vegetables.

It was the first time for us to eat such delicious sea fish on the boat. Everyone had a good appetite. Everyone was full. Even Li Haoran and Li Haoyu ate with gusto.

At night, as the boat swayed, the children fell asleep.

Li Pingan also lay on the bed holding Yu Li.

After thinking for a while, Li Pingan said to Yu Li: "Yu Li, I'm sorry!"

Yu Li thought that Li Ping'an was talking about leaving the city, so she said, "It doesn't matter, Ping'an. As long as I'm with you, our family will be happy. I'll feel happy wherever I am."

After hearing this, Li Pingan hugged Yu Li even tighter.

"Yu Li, I feel very happy to have you. Seeing you and the children every day makes me feel that I am the happiest person."

"But there is one thing I have been hiding from you. I really want to tell you. I'm afraid you will get angry and ignore me. You will always be the most important in my heart. I'm afraid of losing you, so I haven't dared to tell you for so long."

Yu Li also hugged Li Pingan and said seriously, "Pingan, are you talking about you and Xiao'e?"

After hearing this, Li Pingan looked at her in surprise.

"How did you know?"

Yu Li pinched his waist hard and said, "You two flirt with each other every day under my nose. Even a fool can see it. And you occasionally smell like her. Do you think I can't smell it?"

Now Li Pingan was even more surprised.

"Then why don't you ask me? Why aren't you angry anymore?"

"How can I not be angry? I am angry right now. I didn't ask you because I wanted to see how long you were going to keep it a secret from me. I'm waiting for you to explain it to me clearly."

"Then when did you know this?"

Yu Li thought for a moment and said, "I just had a little feeling before, but later when you went out at night, Xiao'e would go out soon after. And when you came back, you still had her scent on you. That's when I knew it."

"Well, I didn't expect you to know it so early. I was always on tenterhooks."

"Then tell me the truth and tell me what happened?"

After listening to Yu Li's words, Li Ping'an told Yu Li everything from the initial misunderstanding, to Xu Damao's infertility, and to the present.

When Yu Li found out that it was because she had invited Lou Xiao'e to her home to accompany her that all the subsequent events were triggered, she also felt that she had let a wolf into the house.

But then he asked, "So, Haoyang and Haoyue are your and Xiao'e's children?"

Li Pingan nodded and said, "Yes, you know Xiao'e's love for children. When she found out Xu Damao was infertile, she almost collapsed. Later, I slowly persuaded her to get well."

"So what are you going to do with Xiao'e and the children?"

Li Pingan hugged Yu Li tightly and said, "Do you really not mind what happens between us?"

Yu Li pinched Li Pingan again and said, "You two even have a child, what's wrong with me minding it? Do you want me to stop you two from recognizing each other?"

"Besides, I really can't leave you and the child now. As long as you are by my side, I feel like I have everything. I will never be separated from you in this life."

"Besides, Xiao'e is also a miserable person. I have long regarded her as a relative closer than my own sisters. Now is the perfect time. We will never be separated in the future."

"Besides, you are like a bull in bed. I often feel that I can't handle it. Now that I have Xiao'e, I can relax a little bit, okay?"

Seeing such a considerate daughter-in-law, Li Pingan could no longer hold back his love for her and kissed her casually.

The bed in the room also began to shake with the boat.

By midnight, Yu Li couldn't stand it anymore. This guy was going to die tonight.

She pushed Li Ping'an off the bed and said, "Do you still want to bully me alone? Go to the next room and bully Xiao'e!"

Li Pingan was so moved by this sudden happiness that he kissed Yu Li hard on the forehead and said, "Wife, I will treat you well in this life!"

Yu Li watched Li Ping'an sneak out of the room. She took a long breath and savored Li Ping'an's last words. Slowly, a smile appeared on her lips.
