Chapter 2976 Marry Me

Li Mingxi pointed at the wall clock: "See that? When the shortest hand reaches 12, your daddy and mommy will be back."

Xuexue stared for a while and nodded seriously: "I know now."

Li Mingxi took her small bowl: "So shall we eat now?"

Xuexue shifted her gaze back: "But I want to eat fried chicken legs and potatoes."

"We’ll have those for lunch, and then have fried chicken legs and potatoes for dinner, okay?"

Xuexue pouted and shook her head: "No, I won’t eat these. I want to lose weight, so I want to eat fried chicken legs and potatoes."

Li Mingxi could hardly hold back her laughter; the fried chicken legs and potatoes she ate would actually make her gain weight!

Xiao Lang couldn’t help but chuckle: "I’ll go make it for her; it won’t take long."

Li Mingxi nodded, "Go ahead then."

Once Xiao Lang went to the kitchen, Li Mingxi coaxed Xuexue into eating some food first, saying once she ate, she could have her fried chicken legs and potatoes.

Sure enough, Xuexue obediently ate half a small bowl and then resolutely refused to eat more to lose weight.

...

Luckily, Xiao Lang was quick, and before long, he brought out a freshly fried chicken leg and a plate of fried potato strips.

Xuexue picked up the chicken leg with joy and took a bite: "Delicious, very delicious."

Li Mingxi teased her: "Your cousin-in-law made it for you, don’t you want to give him a kiss to show your thanks?"

Xuexue nodded, leaned over, and gave Xiao Lang a peck.

Xiao Lang’s heart softened at once; he thought, how nice it would be if he had a daughter.

"Cousin-in-law, marry me then." Xuexue suddenly said while eating, startling Li Mingxi and Xiao Lang, who both widened their eyes.

Xiao Lang chuckled: "Marry you?"

"Yes, marry me, and make me chicken legs to eat every day."

"No can do, I can’t marry you."

The little one widened her eyes: "Why not? Am I not cute? Not pretty?"

Xiao Lang pointed at Li Mingxi: "Because I’m already married to your cousin, so I can’t marry you."

Xuexue turned her head to look at Li Mingxi, her big, black eyes staring at her for a few seconds, as if comforting herself, said: "I want to be a little prettier than you."

"Haha..." Li Mingxi leaned on the table, unable to hold back her laughter anymore.

Xuexue didn’t understand what she was laughing at, shrugged her shoulders, and continued eating the delicious chicken leg.

...

After lunch, Li Mingxi wanted to take the little one upstairs for a nap.

Xuexue stubbornly refused to go; she climbed up onto the sofa in a few moves, her eyes fixed on the wall clock.

Seeing that the shortest hand hadn’t moved much, Xuexue got anxious, pointing at the clock: "It’s broken, it’s broken, it’s not moving!"

Li Mingxi quickly explained: "It’s moving, just very, very slowly."

Xuexue nodded in disappointment, her eyes still glued to the clock.

Seeing her like this, Li Mingxi and Xiao Lang didn’t force her to take a nap. They turned on the TV and found a cartoon to watch.

The cartoon caught the little one’s attention, her eyes flitting between the clock and the cartoon, busy indeed.

Seeing her sitting quietly, Li Mingxi and Xiao Lang watched TV quietly too, not disturbing her.

After a while, Li Mingxi looked over at the little one, and was amused. The little one had fallen asleep sitting up, her eyelids drooping, trying hard to open, opening a tiny bit before drooping again, repeating this a few times before she completely fell asleep with her eyes closed.

And her little mouth was slightly open, drooling incessantly.
