Chapter 725 - 303: Truth or Dare? (Part 2)
Li Yang still had a lot to say, like Bai Ye suddenly becoming very fond of eating.
You should know, kids at this age give parents a headache when it comes to eating. Even if you keep an eye on them every day, it’s hard to avoid children throwing a tantrum during meals.
Chen Peipei sometimes buys him snacks, but he doesn’t even glance at them. He has a special fondness for proper meals.
Other kids can’t resist the temptation of snacks, but he can.
"I feel like I can see your shadow in Bai Ye."
"Are you insulting me? I deserve it."
"No, putting everything else aside, I do quite like Bai Ye as a child. Just wondering what Ling You will turn out like in the future. If he could be like Bai Ye, that would be great."
"Master Jiang, you have no reason to doubt your genes."
"It would be better if he resembled you more. You’re more capable than me."
"If he ends up like me, that’s a disaster! My genes should just be gradually phased out."
"Why?"
"Because I’m too charming, it’s easy for others to struggle finding a girlfriend."
"Hehehe... I’m planning to take Bai Ye back later, and have him call you Dad in front of Mom and Dad."
"Hold on!
"What are you waiting for?"
"Find me a noose, wait till I’m gone, and then bring the kid in."
...
Jiang Banxia ultimately did not bring Bai Ye back.
She couldn’t quite understand her own feelings; after all, she didn’t dislike Bai Ye, nor did she have much dislike for Bai Qing.
Even Xue Ning, who was around every day, wasn’t unlikable.
On one hand, Li Yang was helping maintain her dignity and didn’t bring other issues to the surface.
For example, Li Yuqing always calling him Uncle.
Although the Bai Qing matter was talked about privately, it wasn’t brought to the forefront.
Even if Li Yang brought them back this time, given this environment, it’s understandable; it shows that Li Yang is responsible.
Otherwise, getting trapped in Jiangbei, even with money wouldn’t necessarily work.
If any issue arises, it would only stir up trouble.
After having lunch at home, Jiang Banxia went visiting with the two kids.
Li Likun watched this scene and headed to the kitchen.
Currently at home, Xue Ning is with the kids, and Wang Cuiping is preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Of course, the New Year’s Eve dinner has to be sumptuous, preparations start right after lunch.
He stayed in the kitchen for half the day, not knowing how to start, until Wang Cuiping impatiently said: "Standing there like a wooden post, can’t you see? Aren’t you going to wash some vegetables for me?"
Only then did Li Likun muster his courage and ask, "Cuiping, that family across the street, we’ve both been to see them, right?"
"We’ve seen them, what’s up?"
"Don’t you think that kid looks a bit like our Yangyang?"
Wang Cuiping nearly cut her finger and angrily said, "Are you crazy? It’s not like we don’t have kids of our own, why do you think everyone looks like Yangyang?"
"Didn’t you really notice? Those eyes, that nose..."
Wang Cuiping: "???"
How could she notice?
She only saw them once, and she’s quite satisfied with her current life, not inclined to think in other directions, subconsciously avoiding certain things.
Those details, once the subconscious wants to avoid them, are basically non-existent.
Additionally, even if it were true, it wouldn’t be something to rejoice over.
Life is good now, why stir things up with surprises?
"Li Likun, I think you’re just idle! Hurry up and peel those beans!"
Li Likun sighed, obediently grabbed a bag of green beans and walked out.
It’s really not that he’s oversensitive, it’s just that he simply feels that kid looks too much like his son.
He’s different from Wang Cuiping; Wang Cuiping is someone who knows how to be content, and after being content, she doesn’t have too many other thoughts.
Even when he’s content, he still naturally has lingering thoughts.
After all, his son has a history.
Now suddenly, the family across the street has two very pretty girls visiting, with a child, and that child happens to bear a five or six point resemblance to Li Yang. It would be strange not to suspect anything.
Just then, Li Yang came to the living room to pour some water.
Li Likun glanced at him, waited until Li Yang finished pouring the water and headed to the study, then quickly followed him.
Li Yang just sat down when he saw his dad follow him in, so he asked, "Dad, are you looking for me about something?"
Li Likun closed the door and asked seriously, "It’s just us two now, tell me the truth."
"What truth?"
"Does that kid next door have anything to do with you?"
Li Yang said with a smile, "Yeah, he’s my son and your eldest grandson."
Li Likun felt his legs go weak.
If he had just finished working on the construction site, he might have sat directly on the ground.
Luckily, he hasn’t had much pressure over the years and hasn’t overworked his body. Instead, after quitting smoking and drinking, his health has been improving.
Even in such good health, he nearly couldn’t withstand the impact of Li Yang’s words.
It goes without saying...
Li Yang got up, pulled his dad into his chair, and continued, "This matter, I was planning to share it with you all in a while, worried you wouldn’t take it well."
"And... then?"
Li Likun was already picturing what might happen once this matter is out in the open.
The current atmosphere at home can pretty much be forgotten.
With Jiang Banxia’s current situation, it’s absolutely impossible for her to continue living with Li Yang.
"Then you asked about it, so I figured I’d tell you." Li Yang continued.
Li Likun felt a chill on his scalp.
Li Yang, this guy, with his careless attitude, casually dropped such a bombshell?
Anyway, it’s not the time to be angry with this troublemaker, it’s the New Year.
He said, "Did you ever consider how Xiaxia would react once she finds out?"
