Chapter 2255  : Coax the Little Foodie Away

Li Mosen pressed his lips and reached out to tap her little nose. “You are in denial. Just admit that you never found it before.”

“But I found it now!” Li Jianyue said excitedly. “Humph. I can see it so clearly.”

Li Jianyue seemed to be unaware of how little space there was between them.

Li Mosen was a bit stunned. Inadvertently, he stretched out his arms and gently embraced her, “Ersu.”

“Yes?” Li Jianyue didn’t see anything wrong with what Li Mosen did.

“You...”

‘Rat-tat’

A knock came at Li Jianyue’s door.

Li Mosen, almost by reflex, released her at once.

Li Jianyue was blithely unaware of Li Mosen’s quick movement.

Li Jianyue looked at the door, straightened up, and went to it. “Who is it?”

“Open the door.”

It was the voice of Li Jianqian.

Li Jianyue opened the door. Her face full of wonder, she said, “Oh my gosh, it’s so rare that my dear eldest brother would visit my little room.”

Li Jianqian had just finished showering, as can be seen from his still-damp hair. He was wearing navy blue pajamas. Li Jianqian’s slanted eyes, similar to Li Sicheng’s, looked a bit lazy.

Li Jianqian looked at his sister in front of him. She had always been like a child for a decade. He then squinted inside with a meaningful look.

Li Mosen had already come out of the room. When he realized that it was Li Jianqian, he glanced at him briefly and shifted his gaze.

They were all so familiar with each other that they took for granted any sort of eye contact.

Li Jianqian came there for Li Mosen. “Mosen, come to my room with me.”

Li Jianyue wasn’t at all pleased to hear that. She stood with arms akimbo and stuck out her chest. It made her look unkind. She yelled at Li Jianqian, “Come on, how could you come to my room only to look for Brother Mosen? Can’t you come for your pretty, cute, and kind little sister?”

“I only have one sister, and she doesn’t have the kind of characteristics you’re talking about.”

Li Jianyue stood in front of Li Mosen, dissatisfied. “Stay here. Eldest brother has not said anything nice to me! I won’t let you go.”

“All right, you are innocent and lovely. Now shove off.”

“Li Jianqian!”

Li Jianqian ignored his sister. He glanced at Li Mosen and turned left.

Li Mosen put his hand gently on Li Jianyue’s shoulder. “I will come back soon.”

Li Jianyue was still unhappy. But she also realized that Li Jianqian wouldn’t have come to her room had it not been urgent.

But what could it be?

Li Jianyue rolled her eyes thoughtfully and quietly followed them.

Li Jianqian took Li Mosen into his room. At a cursory glance, Li Jianqian immediately caught Li Jianyue trying to eavesdrop on them.

Li Jianqian raised his eyes and said calmly, “Mosen, go into the room first.”

Li Mosen had already known that Li Jianyue was right behind them. When he saw her little head in the corner, trying to hide and then fail, he chuckled.

Before Li Jianqian entered his room, he said in a flat voice, “I think Granny Rong has made some desserts in the kitchen. Let’s have some later.” It was intentionally meant for Li Jianyue to hear.

Desserts?

Li Jianyue’s eyes lit up.

She wondered when Granny Rong had made the snacks. In the next instant, Li Jianyue heard the sound of the door closing.

Not only did Li Jianqian close the door, but he had also locked it!

Li Jianyue immediately turned around and slipped into the kitchen.
