Chapter 1311: Chapter 580: My Room Is Actually Pretty Big (2)

Couldn’t resist, Lin Li shook off his slipper from the foot he raised, using his foot to nudge Chen Yu Ying’s knee as a reminder.

"Mmm," Chen Yu Ying finally lifted her head with difficulty, glanced at the slightly bitter-faced Lin Li, and nodded: "Mmm~ handsome—"

"In my previous life, I was actually a lie detector. Guess if I believe you," Lin Li bent over, took the fake flower from his mouth, and placed it in Chen Yu Ying’s hair, then gently patted her and said warmly: "Alright, come in first, my mom is still on the sofa laughing at me."

Perhaps it was Wu Min’s mighty reputation, capable of stopping children from crying at night, so after listening, Chen Yu Ying finally managed to stop laughing and stood up, entering Lin Li’s house.

"Lin Li, give Yu Ying those new slippers on the entryway," Wu Min, who was happily watching the show from the sofa, said with a smile after seeing Chen Yu Ying enter. She couldn’t help but ask:

"When did you buy this suit? It’s quite fitting, is it custom-made? How much did it cost?"

After handing the slippers to Chen Yu Ying, Lin Li didn’t answer the question, he just looked at Chen Yu Ying, then turned to Wu Min:

"So, Mom, did Yu Ying tell you yesterday that she was coming to our house today to celebrate New Year?"

At this time, it was impossible for Lin Li not to sense something was amiss.

The so-called aunties did not exist at all; it was just an excuse.

Looking at it in hindsight, everything is quite clear because since we’re going to Chen Yu Ying and Xue Jian’s house tomorrow, Yu Ying probably realized yesterday that today was a free day and decided to come to our house first to celebrate New Year?

But she didn’t want to tell me, and since she already had Wu Min’s WeChat, she contacted Wu Min directly instead.

Yesterday, Sister Min wasn’t surprised at all when she found out I had a part-time job. Now that I think about it, it was because some insider had already informed her of this and hoped that my traitorous mom could ensure that I would be home this afternoon.

Otherwise, if Ying Bao came to celebrate and I was outside fixing cars, the surprise would have lost its touch.

"Yes, I wanted to surprise you," Wu Min admitted frankly and then looked a bit disdainful. "I told you yesterday to tidy yourself up properly. Would I ever harm you? Look at how awkwardly you rushed back to your room just now?"

"You guys actually conspired to isolate me..." Lin Li shook his head sadly. "This is just... too much!"

Surprise, hooray!

"Auntie, Happy New Year." Meanwhile, Chen Yu Ying, who had already changed into slippers, followed Lin Li into the living room and raised the gift box in her hands: "This is a New Year gift."

"Oh wow, the gift could come by itself, why bring someone~" Lin Li enthusiastically patted Chen Yu Ying’s shoulder, then peeked inside and clicked his tongue, "Why are they all skincare and makeup products? Nothing I could use?"

—For Lin Li’s action, both Chen Yu Ying and Wu Min gave him a sideways look.

"Because these were prepared by my mom, they were originally intended for Auntie, and my mom said I should prepare your gift myself." Chen Yu Ying playfully chided.

"Oh oh oh, then where’s mine?" Lin Li rubbed his hands together like a fly.

"I didn’t prepare anything~" Chen Yu Ying replied candidly.

"Ying Bao, you don’t get the art of language," Lin Li sighed:

"You should say ’isn’t me coming to wish you a Happy New Year the best gift?’ I’ve already thought about how to reply to that, sigh, emotional intelligence, sigh, fourth in the grade, sigh, still not as good as me, first in the grade, sigh, the gap, sigh, sigh—"

"Why is there so much nonsense," Wu Min frowned as she listened and kicked Lin Li aside. Perhaps knowing in advance, she no longer pushed the gift back out of courtesy and directly took the red envelope she had prepared from her pocket and placed it on the floor next to the coffee table:

"Auntie won’t be polite to accept it, and this is the New Year’s money Auntie prepared, you must accept it unreservedly."

"Thank you, Auntie~"

"Yu Ying, how did you get here? Didn’t your mom come with you?"

"I just took a cab over, I didn’t let mom come because if it’s too formal, it would be restrictive. However, mom said to invite Auntie for a meal together sometime."

Chen Yu Ying tucked the stray hair from her temple behind her ear, her voice light.

"And does Uncle know?" Lin Li asked.

This concerned whether he needed to deal with Middle Man in a serious manner when visiting them tomorrow, or with a super serious attitude.

Wu Min chuckled and glanced at Lin Li at these words.

She knew quite well the different attitudes of Chen Yu Ying’s parents toward their daughter’s relationship.

She had only one thought about it—if something were to happen in the future, Lin Li, do not mention it was your mother who supplied you.

As the saying goes, disaster does not involve family members.

After giving Lin Li a beat, you can’t hit me again, okay.

"He doesn’t know."

Perhaps the effect of her little quilted jacket with a conscious mind leads Yu Ying to feel a bit guilty about her father, who was kept in the dark, so she spoke a little shyly.

"That’s good." Lin Li was relieved.

Otherwise, he was really worried that if he broke a cup, Middle Man would rush in with three hundred men and chop him into quarks.

Then, Wu Min pulled Chen Yu Ying to sit on the sofa and chat for a while.

The topic was still those, family matters, Lin Li’s personality faults, his behavior that often makes him act crazy, the pain of his original family... The side-serving Lin Li felt like he was some long-haired brooding guy who liked to cut small cuts on his hands.

However, Wu Min knew there was no need to really chat with Chen Yu Ying all afternoon.

To some extent, chatting with someone like her was a kind of torture itself.

Moreover, with her present, Lin Li and Chen Yu Ying had many things they couldn’t say.

Lin Li, this unfilial son, didn’t know how many times he had signaled to her with his eyes.

"Auntie needs to go prepare the dinner a bit more, buying all those things you said you liked,"

So, after chatting for a bit, Wu Min, who had actually finished preparing all the ingredients, said as an excuse:

"Yu Ying, you can hang out with Lin Li and chat, after dinner, whenever you feel like going home, let Lin Li drive you."

"Mmm, got it, thank you Auntie, if you need help, just call me~"

Seeing the polite response from Chen Yu Ying, Wu Min’s smile became more radiant.

She truly liked this girl.

But the future was too far away, so Wu Min didn’t want to express anything yet.

The matter of Lin Li having no father, whether Lin Li was insecure about it, Wu Min thought probably not, but she herself felt some "insecurity" and guilt.

Let’s leave it to nature.

And when the thoughtful and contemplative Wu Min went to the kitchen, only Lin Li and Chen Yu Ying were left in the living room.

They looked into each other’s eyes, both instinctively breaking into smiles.

Lin Li took one of Chen Yu Ying’s hands and placed it on his thigh, pressing it down with two hands as if he were kneading a spiral pill.

Glancing at the kitchen, Chen Yu Ying didn’t pull her hand back either, she just used her neatly trimmed nails to poke at Lin Li’s palm.

"You kept me in the dark so hard." Lin Li lamented with deep emotion as he lightly clapped his hands, "Asking me yesterday when I planned to work, I thought you were planning to visit like Ding Sihan, and I was full-on at work this morning, didn’t expect you would sneak to my house instead?"

"Mmm hmm, amazing, right? Didn’t make it easy for you to guess." Chen Yu Ying nodded playfully.

"Too amazing," Lin Li didn’t hold back praise, "Ying Bao, oh Ying Bao, do you know, I used to be Han Chinese, my name was Lin Li, but now, I’ve become Aisin Gioro·Li, because when I see you, I get full...族(legitimately overwhelmed)."

"Tch~" Chen Yu Ying couldn’t help but chuckle out loud.

"Come on, be careful in the living room since the kitchen could have ears, but my mom would never come directly into my room, so let me show you my lair," Lin Li motioned for Chen Yu Ying to stand up, "You haven’t seen it yet, right?"

"Nope."

Although Chen Yu Ying wasn’t visiting Lin Li’s house for the first time, the last time was to celebrate Lin Li’s birthday; at that time, their relationship wasn’t confirmed, so only Bai Bufan went into the personal room, while the "three" of them, respecting privacy, only arranged things in the living room.

"Now let me show you today, but remember to show me tomorrow."

"Alright then."

Pushing open the room door, Lin Li began to introduce her, pointing with his finger to an opaque storage box by the door:

"Welcome to Lin Li’s old residence, dear tourist, what you see on the left now is a box, inside which Lin Li’s socks and underwear were kept for changing during his time in this room, and now I’ll open it for you—"

Chen Yu Ying: "?"

"Wait!"

"I’m not looking anymore!"
