Chapter 937: Chapter 941: Suspecting a Mistake Chapter 937: Chapter 941: Suspecting a Mistake Li Qi had always been listless, as if nothing could spark his enthusiasm, seeming like nothing mattered to him.
But at this mont, looking at Ye Xingbei, his gaze filled with a hint of excitent, his usually slack posture straighter than before.
He blocked Ye Xingbei’s path, scrutinized her for a mont, and hesitantly called out, “Little one? Are you the Little One, right?”
Gu Junzhu: “…”
Before he could speak, Xiao Shumiao blurted out, “You’re the little one! Your whole family are little ones!”
Xiao Shumiao, shorter than other children, always hated it when soone remarked about his short stature.
If it had been directed at him, he might have tolerated it, but this person was actually calling his mom the Little One.
That was unbearable, even for Xiao Shu.
Gu Junzhu’s lips curved into a smirk, he rubbed Xiao Shumiao’s head, and although he remained silent, the expression on his face clearly conveyed: Son, good coback.
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Little One?
Vaguely, it seed like… indeed, soone used to call her Little One.
But the mory was so distant, she could barely rember.
Seeing the puzzled look on Ye Xingbei’s face, Li Qi reminded her, “In Jiang City… the dessert shop!”
“Oh!” Ye Xingbei’s face brightened with sudden realization, “You are Master Li!”
“Uh…” Despite himself, Li Qi felt his face heat up, hearing the nickna people usually called him.
He scratched his cheek, sowhat embarrassed, “My na is Li Qi.”
Seeing the look of “shyness” on his face, Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei couldn’t help but widen their eyes, suspecting they were seeing things.
The Li Family and Xie Family were old friends, and Xie Yunlin, Xie Jinfei had good relations with several of the young masters of the Li family.
Although they hadn’t interacted with Li Qi much, they knew a bit about his personality.
Li Qi’s elder brothers were exasperated with this brother, saying their younger brother’s detachnt was too severe and he lacked the common emotions and desires that normal humans have.
No matter the occasion, Li Qi always had the look of a lazy, half-asleep person, as if there was nothing in this world that could pique his interest.
Li Qi’s elder brothers were very accurate in their assessnt of him, which Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei had observed firsthand.
But now, they were actually seeing sothing like “embarrassnt” on Li Qi’s face, making Xie Jinfei regret not having been quick enough to capture it on video.
Otherwise, they could have shown it to Li Qi’s Sixth Brother soday.
Yes.
That’s right.
Li Qi’s Sixth Brother, Li Lu, was a good friend of Xie Jinfei.
Indeed.
In other families, a cherished grandchild, in the Li family, was this underappreciated.
Even Li Lu’s na was chosen casually.
‘Lu’ as a homophone for ‘six’.
Li Lu had once complained, although the na was perfunctory, he was grateful they didn’t na him ‘Lu’ (exposed).
Perhaps the more a family disregarded, the more it motivated the younger generation.
Senior Master Li had seven grandsons, aside from Li Qi whose health was poor and was a top profligate, the other six were elites, promising and with bright futures.
Every descendant in the family was successful, having both power and wealth, and many Family Heads in Beijing envied and were jealous of Senior Master Li for not only having a thriving family but one filled with talented individuals.
Even though Li Qi was a profligate, no Family Head despised him.
