Leader Quan carefully glanced at his brother-in-law who was sitting in the passenger seat, and exchanged glances with Mingxi who was opening milk for Andrew through the rearview mirror, but was interrupted by Li Shengyu's phone ringing just as he was about to speak.

"Hi, honey" Li Shengyu glanced at the phone and picked it up, with a brisk tone, "You missed me just after I left?"

Quan Zhilong silently turned up the heating in the car, but even so the cold air from the back seat still made his neck chill.

"Of course, of course I will miss you." Li Shengyu spoke on the phone in English without any scruples, "Only you, baby"

"Is Andrew hungry?" Mingxi asked in a low voice to the newly born nephew beside him, thinking of the scene at the airport just now and what his oppa is doing now, he couldn't help but have a headache.

At the "son" airport, before Mingxi could react, Li Shengyu let go of his arms, pointed to Mingxi and said to Andrew in his arms, "This is your aunt, hello!"

"Goodmorning" Mr. Andrew's Lee Sung Woo stretched out his arms "Nicetoseeyou, I'mAndrew"

"Hello." Ming Xi subconsciously reached out and held his little hand.

"It seems that he likes you very much. Come and hug him." Li Shengyu didn't wait for Mingxi to react, he stuffed his son into her arms, pulled the box and walked towards the door without looking back, "That kid has Come with you?"

Mingxi and Andrew looked at each other, Andrew shrugged helplessly, and then there was the scene just now.

"oppa!" Finally, when Li Shengyu hung up the phone, Quan Zhilong had never heard Mingxi speak in such a stern voice, "What the hell is oppa doing?"

"What's the matter?" Li Shengyu looked back at Mingxi with a puzzled expression, and then at Quan Zhilong, who was very self-aware and didn't say a word, "Son, I don't know if I can be your uncle, uncle "

"Superstaruncle?" Andrew asked vaguely, biting his straw.

"Hello!" Leader Quan carefully looked at Mingxi's face, "welcome, Andrew"

"Before going to Chong'an Hall, should oppa explain it to me?" Today is Mingxi's grandmother's death day. An Shuya and Li Minyuan's husband and wife have already returned to Andong last night, so the car is going directly to Chong'an at this moment. An Tang, "Also, is it okay to talk on the phone in front of children?"

"It's okay." Andrew took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth, and turned to Mingxi, "It's okay, aunt, I know what kind of person my father is, flirtatious but not nasty, right, Daddy?"

"Of course" Li Shengyu laughed, "Did you hear that, dear sister?"

"Andrew, can you speak Korean?" Mingxi helped him tidy up his clothes and asked with a smile.

"Yes, aba said that if I can speak Korean, my grandfather, grandmother, and great-grandfather will like me when I come home." Andrew said with a serious face, "so I learned a little from Ruth."

"Ruth?" Mingxi asked.

"It's a part-time worker in charge of taking care of him, and he's Korean." Li Shengyu knew what Mingxi was thinking without asking, "This year is 50 years old."

"Aunt" Andrew pulled La Mingxi's clothes and asked, "How long will it take to get home?"

"Probably another hour" Quan Zhilong turned around and said when it happened to be a red light.

"Are you sleepy?" Mingxi stroked Andrew Rouran's hair and said, "Auntie hugs you to sleep, okay?"

"Yeah." Andrew narrowed his eyes, which were a little hard to open, probably due to his young age, and soon fell asleep in Mingxi's arms.

"I like it so much, let me give it to you to raise." Li Shengyu looked at Mingxi holding Andrew carefully and said, "How is it, Zhilong?"

"I have no problem, but brother, are you willing?" Quan Zhilong couldn't help but think how happy he would be if he was a child with Mingxi. Mingxi will be a good mother, and he must work hard to be a good father. .

"You'll know after two days, I don't want to part with it." Li Shengyu looked at Andrew's sleeping face and said, "Don't look at him sleeping like an angel now, but when he wakes up, he will be a little devil tormenting me."

"oppa" Mingxi asked with unprecedented seriousness, "this child, him, his mother..."

"Mom?" Li Shengyu closed his eyes and leaned on the seat, pretending to sleep, "What mother?"

"Oppa must at least tell me." Ming Xi sighed, "Otherwise, how can I speak for Oppa when I get home? How can I explain to my grandfather and uncle?"

……

"Actually, there is nothing we can't say." Li Shengyu smiled with a bitterness that only he could understand, "We have separated a long time ago."

"Not long after Andrew was born, we broke up," Li Shengyu said blankly, "There is nothing to say, as you have seen, the eldest son and grandson of our family have to come back to Chong'an Hall anyway."

"Does Andrew know?" Mingxi asked, it was not without reason that this child seemed much more mature than other children of the same age.

"That kid is more open-minded than you." Li Shengyu couldn't help but smile from his heart when he thought of his son, "There are many such single-parent families in the United States, and it's no more earth-shattering than a divorce in South Korea."

"But oppa forgot that the place I'm going to is Chong'an Hall?" Mingxi looked at Li Shengyu as if he wasn't worried at all, "What about the elders? Grandfather, he..."

"Okay, okay." Seeing Mingxi's angry look, Quan Zhilong hastily persuaded with distress, "Don't be angry, be careful to wake up the child."

"Brother Shengyu" Leader Quan looked at Li Shengyu and said seriously, "Shortly after you left two years ago, grandfather had a heart operation. The doctor said that in the future, try not to get too excited or angry, otherwise..."

"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Li Shengyu thought of something as soon as he opened his mouth, and clenched his fist.

"At that time..."

"Don't talk about Zhilong." Mingxi interrupted, "oppa think about how to explain to the family."

When the car drove to the outside of Chong'an Hall, night was about to fall, and the setting sun was like fire. The big tree at the entrance of the village told people this ancient historical story.

"Oppa go down first," Mingxi said to Li Shengyu.

"Understood." Li Shengyu looked at Quan Zhilong with sympathy in his eyes, "I'll go down first."

"Zhilong" looked at Li Shengyu standing under the tree, and Mingxi's heart was inexplicably complicated, "Oppa didn't know about the incident three years ago, grandpa said not to tell him, and uncle and aunt didn't know either."

"Don't worry too much." Turning around and kissing her forehead, Quan Zhilong said, "Understood, I won't tell Brother Shengyu"

"I'm sorry" Mingxi said softly.

"Silly boy, what's so sorry about this?" Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Go on, Auntie must have been looking forward to it for a long time."

The author has something to say: Andrew's age may be much older than the real one, please forgive me for the plot

☆, Chong'an Church that was destroyed by the earthquake

"What's going on here?" Mei Zhu looked at the closed door in front of her in confusion, "That child..."

Grandma Shunyu sighed deeply and did not speak.

In Lee Sung Hyuk's room, the Lee family including Quan Zhilong sat silently.

"Shengyu!" Li Chenghe looked at Li Minyuan whose face was so black, "Grandpa is probably getting old, can you tell me the whole thing again?"

"Grandpa, why are you old?" Li Shengyu just opened his mouth with a playful smile, but was adjusted to a serious state by Li Mincan's cough, "Just like what everyone saw"

"My son——Andrew" Li Shengyu said after holding his son from Mingxi's arms to his side, "I don't have a Korean name yet, let's look at it, grandfather."

"Say hello" pushed his son, but the other party rolled his eyes, "Dear son"

"Hello! I am Andrew, the son of aba." No matter how sensible he is, he is still young after all, and Andrew does not salute very standardly.

"Alas!" An Shuya was caught first, and she tried to help Andrew, who was not used to it, uncontrollably, "Get up"

"Andrew, isn't it?" Lee Sung Hyuk was probably afraid that the little man in front of him wouldn't understand Korean, so he deliberately slowed down his speech, "Are you tired from flying?"

"It's okay." Andrew glanced at Mingxi, and then said after receiving a slight nod of affirmation from the other party, "I'm not tired."

The atmosphere in the room softened a lot with the conversation between the old and the young, and even the black-faced Li Minyuan couldn't help becoming gentler.

Looking at everything in front of her, An Shuya pulled La Mingxi's sleeve to signal her to go out with her, but before Mingxi got up, Andrew's eyes followed her.

"Is Andrew hungry?" Mingxi asked, "How about going to eat something with aunt first?"

Andrew nodded obediently and held out his hand.

"Where is Andrew here?" Picking up his nephew, Mingxi walked out of the room under Li Shengyu's somewhat complicated eyes, "It's Chong'an Hall, it's aunt, grandfather, and great-grandfather all grew up here."

"Where's Daddy?" Andrew asked curiously, "Why didn't he grow up here?"

"Daddy!" An Shuya, who was walking beside her, said softly, "Daddy grew up in the house of his grandpa and grandma in Seoul. Does Andrew want to go to Seoul?"

"Is aunt going too?" Andrew tilted his head and asked while holding Mingxi's neck, "Seoul words"

"That's right." The wind at night was still a bit chilly, Ming Xi helped him put on his hat and said, "Auntie is going to Seoul too, to grandpa and grandma's house, will Andrew go with Auntie?"

Nodding obediently, Andrew buried his head in Mingxi's arms.

"Let me hug it." Quan Zhilong took the child from Mingxi's hand and said, "You have been hugging me since the airport, my arm should hurt tomorrow."

"UncleSuperstar!" It seems that Li Shengyu has at least told this child about some family affairs. Andrew still has a good impression of this uncle who just picked him up. "Is Uncle really Superstar? OnTV?"

"That's right." Quan Zhilong looked at Andrew seriously and said, "Uncle is really, really Superstar!"

Mingxi and An Shuya at the side looked at this pair of live treasures and couldn't help but smile at each other.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the room was completely different. Li Shengyu knelt in front of the two generations of the head of the Li family in Chong'an Hall, and his face did not have the ease and smile just now.

"What did you do by yourself, and you still have the face to kneel here in front of your grandfather?" Li Minyuan tried hard to control his emotions and voice. Chong'an Hall is no different from Seoul, and the sound insulation effect of ancient buildings is exceptionally poor. It's not like someone knows what's going on in Chong'an Hall.

"Let him talk" Lee Sung Hyuk interrupted his son, but he didn't let Li Shengyu who was kneeling get up, "Shengyu, tell me"

"Yes, grandfather." Li Shengyu stared blankly at the ground, "Andrew is the product of an accident. His mother is Italian. We met in the United States. I only found out that I had this child a month before he was born."

"Then his mother?" Li Chenghe looked at his grandson who was kneeling and motionless and asked, "Didn't you come back together?"

"We broke up a long time ago." Looking up at Li Minyuan, Li Shengyu said, "She also returned to Italy, and Andrew followed me."

"No more!" The anger in Li Minyuan's voice could be felt even if Li Shengyu lowered his head, "It's over!"

A "slap" slap sounded in the old Hanok, and even Li Chenghe seemed shocked by Li Minyuan's action, but Li Shengyu, who was enduring all this, didn't move.

"Sit down!" Li Chenghe frowned and said, "Won't you talk well if you have something to say?"

"Shengyu" Li Chenghe said seriously, "Then you tell grandfather, what are you going to do with that child? This is not a simple question, it is related to the future of that child and your own future."

"I want Andrew to be the grandson of Chong'an Hall." Li Shengyu raised his head for the first time, with persistence and stubbornness in his eyes, "The eldest son and grandson of the Li family who wrote the genealogy"

It is self-evident what genealogy and grandsons mean to a clan. Even Li Shengyu himself has the legitimate right to inherit the clan and the status of grandsons because he adopted under the name of his deceased uncle.

The decision of a grandson, even Lee Sung Hyuk, cannot make his own decision. This is one of the biggest things about a family and clan, and it is related to the future of the family.

"Have you thought about it clearly, what are you talking about?" Li Chenghe asked with his eyes closed.

If Andrew really becomes the eldest son and grandson in the Li family tree, then regardless of whether Li Shengyu will have children after marriage, then he will also become the most legitimate heir of the Li family, and this will not be a big deal for Li Shengyu's future wife. Great news.

"Grandfather" Li Shengyu walked up to the old man with a few knees and lowered his body, "Andrew is really a child, he is very smart and sensible, you will know after a few days of getting along with him, maybe he is better than me This Chong'an Hall is flourishing."

"Let me think about it, think about it." Lee Sung Hyuk opened his eyes with unprecedented fatigue.

The dinner was extremely quiet, and there was no excitement of relatives returning home. Even so, Li Shengyu was ordered to kneel in the ancestral hall.

The night in March is a bit cooler. Looking around in the mountains, there are layers of green hills, and the air is fresh without any impurities.

Quan Zhilong and Mingxi walked among them hand in hand, but Lee Sung Hyuk, who was supposed to rest in the room, pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.

"The air is so nice." Quan Zhilong turned his head and said to Ming Xi, taking a deep breath of air, "I really want to stay for a few more days. The Chong'an Hall always gives people a kind of extra peace."

"But those few days have passed." Ming Xi laughed, "Zhilong, you're probably bored. The tranquility of life here is repetitive. There are no lights and neon lights in the city, but few people in the city can stand it. oppa can't bear this kind of life"

"Then why do you like it?" Quan Zhilong asked as he put her somewhat cold hands on his face.

"Because I grew up here." Mingxi looked at the mountains in the distance and said, "I have lived this kind of life since I was a child, just like you are used to Seoul, I am familiar with this place."

"The most important thing is" Mingxi said seriously, "This is my home and roots."

"Go back," Quan Zhilong urged silently after making a decision in his heart, "The weather is getting colder."

"I don't know if Andrew is used to sleeping? He should have always slept on the bed before."

……

"Grandfather, why are you here?" In the ancestral hall, Li Shengyu helped the old man to sit down, "It's so late."

"Sit down, too." Lee Sung Hyuk, who signaled his grandson to sit down too, looked a little serious.

"Shengyu, do you know why your sister went to England?" The old man's white hair was extraordinarily dazzling under the light, "Not long after you went abroad"

"I asked her, and she said that there is such an opportunity to go out for a walk when she is young." Li Shengyu said, "The child can't even say panic, I guess it has something to do with Quan Zhilong."

"It's related to that child, and it's also related to you." Li Chenghe looked at the spirit card in front of him and said slowly.

"Me?" Li Shengyu never thought that this matter was related to him.

"Not long after you left, there was a lady surnamed Gao. Her mother came to the house." Li Chenghe didn't look at his grandson's expression, "That's because Miss Gao committed suicide and was admitted to the hospital. The director also came that day, probably because the trip to England made me too tired, so I was admitted to the hospital that day.”

Only then did Li Shengyu understand what Mingxi said in the car about his grandfather being hospitalized.

"As for that Miss Gao, I didn't tell your parents." Lee Sung Hyuk continued, "So your father's impression of Zhilong is even worse, and his opposition to them is even greater, and I am also very concerned about this. The relationship is not very optimistic”

"So Mingxi didn't go to England by himself, but was forced to go there," Li Shengyu asked.

"To this day, I still wonder if I did something wrong." Looking at the aggrieved grandson Lee Sung-hyuk said, "Everyone says I love Mingxi, but in my heart, you, Shengyu, represent the future of this family. Grandfather, I feel very distressed because that child is my descendant, but as the grandson, Shengyu, you..."

"If I had told you about this at that time, and told you what Mingxi had endured because of your impulsiveness, maybe what happened today would not have happened."

"It's too late, grandfather." Li Shengyu clenched his fists and said, "When Gao Eunmi went to the United States, it was not long before Andrew was born."

"If there were no events today, I would not have planned to tell you." Li Chenghe got up and looked at his grandson and said, "I told you, just to let you understand that when you do something, you have to learn to think about it. What did the others bring?"

"From childhood to adulthood, you probably walked too smoothly." Before closing the door, Li Chenghe sighed.

☆, transition

Since Andrew came to Seoul, the life of Mingxi or the Li family has become different for everyone. Everyone can say something about this change, but no one can say what it is. The return of this child brought a freshness that had never been seen before.

"Did you sleep?" From the day he returned to Seoul, Li Shengyu basically started a life of going out early and returning late every day. Sometimes Mingxi couldn't see him for several days. Li Minyuan didn't know that he had completely given up on his son. Li Shengyu didn't care about this kind of discipline, but An Shuya, who had Andrew, didn't know whether it was due to her husband's pressure or because she lost her previous enthusiasm for her son, so she knocked on the door symbolically, and Li Shengyu Open the door and come in, "Still busy?"

"Yeah" closed the computer, pressed his temple, Mingxi looked at the clock pointing to twelve and said, "oppa came back so late again?"

"Aren't you up so late?" Li Shengyu unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and sat down casually, "Why haven't I seen you go out with that kid on a date? That kid, how are you?"

"How about the oppa?" Mingxi handed the water glass to Li Shengyu, but did not answer his question, "I heard that you sold the game platform you used to make before returning to China."

The MIT circle is said to be small and small, basically any news can quickly spread among the international students.

"Yeah, it sold more than I thought." Li Shengyu teased himself, "Korea is also a big IT country, it's better to come back and start over."

"How much worse?" Mingxi looked at the smiling man in front of him and asked, "Isn't oppa looking for investment?"

"It's almost done." Mentioning these things, Li Shengyu couldn't help but feel a little headache. Unlike the United States, South Korea and even all Asian countries are the same-important issues are often settled at the wine table, "but the current problem is liquidity. "

"Take it." Mingxi took out the passbook from the drawer and put it on the table, "Although there are not many, it should be enough for you to meet emergencies."

Li Shengyu opened the passbook and saw a long string of zeros before he realized how much his sister had earned in the past few years.

"Empty money?" Li Shengyu tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers, but Li Shengyu didn't say whether to take it or not.

"I still have some for myself." Mingxi picked up the tie he threw aside and folded it slowly, "I can't give it all to you."

"Just trust oppa like that?" Li Shengyu couldn't hide the exhaustion in his voice as he collapsed on the sofa, "I've tried my best to make others believe in me these days, happiness came too suddenly"

"That's right!" Mingxi pulled him up and handed him the passbook, "oppa, remember to give me the interest."

Li Shengyu is not a person who needs to be comforted by others. The firmness and courage of the Li family in Chong'antang are even more obvious in him than his elders, and his youth endows him with the spirit of daring to fight and not afraid of losing.

"Oppa will give you the shares." Li Shengyu who walked to the door suddenly turned back to Mingxi and said, "Do you want it?"

"Oppa can figure it out for himself." Mingxi thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about these either."

"Understood." After shaking the passbook in his hand, Li Shengyu closed the door.

In the room, Ming Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned on the computer again.

In the elevator, Quan Zhilong looked at the roses in his hand with satisfaction. Today is White People's Day. Even though the sweet atmosphere on the street is very strong, he doesn't need to think about it, he knows that his lover will not know about this festival. Think about it If she hadn't reminded her of all the anniversaries and Valentine's Days since dating Mingxi, she didn't seem to know about them. On the contrary, she never forgot the death anniversaries, big and small, throughout the year. She thought about it and smiled.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" The moment the door opened, Ming Xi first saw a bouquet of beautiful white roses, and then his lover's face appeared from behind the roses, "Beautiful lady, please accept my pure love."

"It's so beautiful." With jet-black hair loosely tied into a bun, a slim-fit long-sleeved white shirt, and a red cotton skirt, Mingxi's dress today looks like a girl advertised in a department store pictorial in the 90s, "Thank you "

"Just thank you?" Quan Leader came in, nodded his cheek, and got a sweet kiss as he wished, and then couldn't hold back his smile, "Did that kid not trouble you today?"

"Don't call Andrew like that." Ming Xi filled the vase with water, arranged the bouquet and prepared to put it in, "How old are you, only how old is he?"

The lovely Andrew realized within a few days that his biggest enemy in Seoul was no longer Daddy who was away all day, but the UncleSuperstar who would rob him of his aunt, and even made a good first impression. During Mingxi's date with Leader Quan, there will always be a cute light bulb from time to time.

"His father isn't a kid yet, he calls me a kid" Leader Quan muttered softly, "I don't think I know, little light bulb"

"Is there no announcement today?" Mingxi also knows that although Quan Zhilong likes Andrew very much, he also has a headache, but some time ago he was worried that Andrew would not adapt to the unfamiliar environment, so he took him out as much as possible, "Just now Shengxian returned Send a text message to complain about being tired"

"That kid also has a name called Exaggeration King." Quan Zhilong said without sympathy, "He and Dacheng will be on a variety show together. What do you want for lunch?"

"Is the flower crab soup good?" Ming Xi asked after placing the flowers, "I just passed by the market and saw that the flower crab is not bad."

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" Quan Zhilong nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Do you want to add bean sprouts or tofu?" Mingxi looked at him and asked with a smile, "Kid Quan?"

"Dare to call me a kid." Leader Quan stared at those phoenix eyes without majesty, stretched out his hands and bullied him forward, "oppa show you some color"

"Don't, don't, don't..." Mingxi was very ticklish, so this move Quan Zhilong tried all kinds of tricks, and she raised the white flag after a while.

"Surrender?" Seeing her blushing face, hands still on her soft waist, Quan Zhilong felt his breathing was a little short, he took a deep breath, and sprayed it on Mingxi's neck, She trembled slightly, but it seemed to irritate him, he felt the blood in his whole body rushing to the top of his head, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, Ming Xi trembled his lower eyelashes and lowered his eyes, She didn't move at all.

It's so soft, when he kissed that lip, it was the only thought, Quan Zhilong didn't want to stop at all, he didn't let her go until Mingxi's breath became unstable, he seemed to be unable to leave her for a moment, Fingers intertwined, Mingxi buried her face towards Quan Zhilong's neck, but she didn't know that the unintentional touch of her lips and nose made him feel even more uncomfortable, so she hugged her tightly, turned over and pressed her to stop him her actions.

"Zhilong?" There was tension in her voice.

With the tone of "it's okay", his boiling desire slowly calmed down, and at the same time he smiled wryly.

"Is it a new script?" Quan Zhilong was flipping through the new issue of a fashion magazine on the sofa. Although Leader Quan was willing to help in the kitchen, for Mingxi, it would be more and more help, so except for occasional He was used to the busy life of his wife in the kitchen like an ordinary family, so he accidentally scanned the document on the computer and asked, "Didn't you say that there is only one script planned for this year?"

"Yeah..." "You who climbed the vine" is the same as Mingxi's previous scripts. It has been basically completed before the start, and MBC is also preparing to broadcast it until autumn. Mingxi brings out soup from the kitchen and puts it on the table. , "is a screenplay"

"Movie?" Leader Quan's eyes widened.

"I met director Kim Ki-duk some time ago." Mingxi said while taking off the apron, "I have changed everything, but I still don't agree with the director."

"Director Kim Ki-duk?" Leader Kwon felt that he no longer knew what he was talking about.

"If all goes well, we should start filming next month."

"Next month?" Quan Leader was completely speechless.
