Lian Xi walked up to them and called out obediently, "Uncle and aunt, you're back!"

"Yeah." Lu Siyan nodded, looked at Lu Sili, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you tell Xiaoxi that we were back? She had to rush back from the company."

Lu Sili smiled helplessly, "Mom and Dad, you came back so suddenly, I wasn't prepared at all, how could I dare to tell her."

Mr. and Mrs. Lu Siyan laughed, "Alright, alright, come here quickly and let Auntie take a closer look."

Lian Xi sat down next to Lu Sili's mother and let Lu's mother look at him with a bright smile.

Mother Lu stared at Lian Xi, and the more she looked at him, the happier she became. "You are beautiful and have a likable personality. No wonder Si Li wanted to marry you."

Hearing this, Lian Xi's cheeks flushed and she glanced at Lu Sili coquettishly.

"Ahem." Lu Sili pretended to be serious and said, "Mom, please talk about this kind of thing later, otherwise Lian Xi will be too shy and stop coming to our house in the future."

"Oh, you've learned to protect your wife?" Mother Lu raised her eyebrows and said, "Then when we meet my parents later, will you teach me a lesson again?"

"That's not necessary. You are the elder, and how dare a junior point fingers at an elder?" Lu Sili coaxed with a little indifference, "But if you keep joking around, Lian Xi will be angry."

"You..." Mother Lu poked his forehead, "Why do you become so impatient when you encounter Xiaoxi's problem?"

Seeing this, Lian Xi secretly tugged at Lu Sili's sleeve.

Lu Sili looked down at her, and when he saw her winking at him, he changed the subject, "Mom, Xier also bought you gifts."

"Really?" Mother Lu asked in surprise, "What gift?"

"Keep it secret." Lu Sili said mysteriously, "You'll know later."

"Oh, my daughter-in-law is still so considerate." Mother Lu happily pulled Lian Xi to the study, "Come on, I'll take you to see Lu Sili's childhood photos."

When Father Lu saw Mother Lu pulling Lian Xi away, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Lu Sili, "You are quite quick, kid."

Lu Sili snorted lightly and did not comment.

Father Lu smiled and said meaningfully, "I didn't realize you were so serious about Xiaoxi."

After saying that, he patted his son on the shoulder, stood up and walked upstairs.

Lu Sili looked at Lu Siyan's back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was the one being praised.

On the other side, Lian Xi was in the study.

Mother Lu handed her a photo and said, "Look, this is Si Li when he was a child."

Lian Xi took it and saw the little boy with pigtails and a pink cotton jacket in the photo.

Although he is over five years old, Lu Sili's features are still handsome, especially his eyes, which are pitch black, as if they hide the entire universe, making people afraid.

Mother Lu said with a smile: "Look, does it look like a cunning little fox?"

Lian Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "It's true, just like you and dad when you were young."

Mother Lu nodded with satisfaction and reached out to touch Lian Xi's soft short hair. "Xiao Xi, when your father and I are not around, you will take care of Si Li for us and don't let him bully you."

Lian Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Mother Lu, "Why?"

Mother Lu smiled and said, "Because we all believe that you will definitely not let Si Li suffer any injustice."

Lian Xi was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "So... have you and Dad decided to stay?"

Mother Lu sighed and said, "Your father's illness has not been cured after such a long time. The doctor said that we need to recuperate for a longer time. Maybe... this is the last chance. We must make a decision as soon as possible."

Lian Xi understood the unfinished meaning in Lu's mother's words, and his heart tightened inexplicably.

She clenched her palms, lowered her eyes and said, "Auntie, I..."

"Xiao Xi." Mother Lu raised her hand, gently stroked Lian Xi's cheek, and comforted her earnestly, "We have considered this matter for a long time, and only decided today. You should respect our decision."

Lian Xi bit her lip and squeezed out two words with difficulty: "Okay."

She didn't want to cry, but her eyes gradually became moist and tears blurred her vision. She blinked desperately, trying to control her emotions.

Mother Lu held her hand and said gently, "Silly child, don't worry, your father and I will not leave you."

Lian Xi choked up and said, "Thank you...Mom, I..."

Her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't utter complete sentences, so she had to cover her mouth and tried hard to suppress her emotions.

Mother Lu said some more words to comfort her, and finally got up and went to the kitchen to help Lian Xi get food.

Lian Xi sat alone on the sofa in the living room, holding the gift box sent by Lu's mother. His mind was full of complicated thoughts, all of which were those words just spoken.

No wonder everyone was urging Lu Sili to get married and have children. It turned out that they had this plan...

If something happened to them, how sad would Lu Sili be?

She didn't want Lu Sili to be sad, and would never allow such a tragedy to happen.

Lian Xi forced herself to calm down and think of ways to resolve the misunderstandings of the two elders of the Lu family. At the same time, she also had to find a way to cure Lu's father's illness, at least to delay it for a few years.

At this time, Lu's mother brought in the food and asked Lian Xi to eat.

Lian Xi and Lu Sili accompanied Lu's mother to finish the meal. When it was almost eight o'clock, Lu's mother suggested taking a walk to digest the food.

Lu Sili immediately stood up, took Lian Xi's hand, motioned for her to take his arm, and took her out.

Lian Xi glanced at Lu's mother, then left obediently with Lu Sili.

The two of them strolled leisurely along the garden until half past nine, when Mother Lu stopped and said to them, "Si Li, go to bed early tonight. You have to go to work early tomorrow morning."

Lu Sili nodded, pulled Lian Xi towards the main house, and went back to rest.

Lian Xi was thinking about how to explain the matter all the way, but he still had no clue until he lay on the bed.

After Lu Sili washed up, he got into bed, hugged Lian Xi in his arms, and said, "Go to bed quickly."

Lian Xi leaned on his chest, hesitated for a long time, and mustered up the courage to say: "Si Li, you go to sleep first, I will sleep later."

Lu Sili noticed Lian Xi's abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lian Xi pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "Nothing..."

She suddenly thought of one thing: Lu Sili had never made any promises to her, but he always showed his support for her with actions.

Maybe he really likes her, too.

She couldn't let him down.

Thinking of this, Lian Xi closed his eyes and prepared to welcome Lu Sili's upcoming kiss.

But Lian Xi felt her neck suddenly itchy, like a mosquito bite. She opened her eyes and saw Lu Sili's face pressed against her neck, blowing hot air into her ears.

Lian Xi's whole body was stiff.

Lu Sili seemed to realize something and stopped his actions immediately.

The two of them stared at each other. It was very quiet all around and no one knew what to say.

After a while, Lu Sili slowly let go of Lian Xi's shoulders, coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, then got out of bed and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out, Lian Xi had already fallen asleep.
