Chapter 50 The Little Fox is Sad [Please Read Further]
"Phew—I'm so full!"
Huang Lizhi slumped unceremoniously in the chair, rubbing his round belly with both hands, his brows furrowed tightly.
Lin Yuan looked at her expression, which was both painful and satisfied, and felt both sorry for her and amused.
He got up, rummaged through the cabinet, pulled out the medicine box, took out two digestive tablets, and held them to her lips: "Still saying you're not a little glutton? That's radish and black sesame soup, not free tap water. How can you stuff it in like that? Now you feel uncomfortable, don't you?"
This girl eats like a workaholic. Although it makes me feel accomplished to see her enjoy my cooking, judging from how uncomfortable she looks, anyone who didn't know better would think that I, as her older brother, have been neglecting her.
"Pfft!" Lee Ji-eun, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Unnie~" Hwang Yeji called out shyly and angrily, drawing out the last syllable with a hint of coquettishness.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, I won't laugh anymore." Lee Ji-eun immediately stopped smiling and gently rubbed her stomach like she was coaxing a child. "Are you feeling better now? Who told you to eat so fast?"
She then gently patted Lychee's head; her hair was so soft and felt wonderful to the touch.
Like a frightened little fox, Hwang Ye-ji shrank his neck and obediently nestled in Lee Ji-eun's arms, accepting her touching him.
Oh...it feels so good, my sister's embrace smells so good and feels so soft.
Unlike Oppa, who only knows how to make sarcastic remarks, Unnie is so gentle. But why does it feel like Unnie is petting a dog, one stroke after another?
Seeing the three of them enjoying themselves, Xia Yuan knew it was time to leave, so she said, "Young Master, Miss Li, Lizhi, I'll be leaving now. I have some work to discuss with Attorney Zhang."
"Okay, no rush with work, remember to get some rest!" Lin Yuan said with a smile, then looked at Li Zhi'en, "Zhi'en, take Xia Yuan next door and help her get her fingerprints and stuff sorted out."
"it is good."
Lee Ji-eun led Xia Yuan to 1301.
After recording her fingerprints and explaining the trivial matters, she lightly pushed open the door to Lin Yuan's house.
"You're back. Is everything settled in Xia Garden?" Lin Yuan asked casually, half-lying on the sofa.
"Unnie!" Hwang Ye-ji called out crisply.
As soon as Lee Ji-eun entered the house, this was the scene she saw: under the warm yellow light, Lim Won and Hwang Ye-ji were watching TV side by side, with Ye-ji's little head resting on Lim Won's shoulder.
This scene... looks more like a father and daughter waiting for their mother to come home from get off work.
No, no, Lee Ji-eun, what nonsense are you thinking? He's only a few years older than Dae-ji!
She shook off the nonsensical thoughts in her mind and naturally walked over to Li Zhi's other side to sit down: "Everything is done, the fingerprints are taken, I'm right across the hall, she can contact me anytime if she needs anything."
As soon as Huang Lizhi saw Li Zhi'en sit down, he immediately let go of Lin Yuan's arm, turned around and stuck to Li Zhi'en like a piece of chewing gum, affectionately rubbing against her shoulder, and squinting his eyes in the most comfortable position.
Lin Yuan stared at his empty arm, completely bewildered.
"Hey! Huang Lizhi, this is my girlfriend! What's with you clinging to her? Let go, that's my spot!" Lin Yuan reached out and tugged at Lizhi's shoulder, but instead of letting go, the girl hugged him even tighter and swung her shoulder defiantly.
This is outrageous! I painstakingly cooked all that food, and it turns out I've raised a "little love rival"?
What a terrible thing!
"girlfriend?"
Hwang Ye-ji, who had been nestled in Lee Ji-eun's arms like a kitten, froze instantly. Those three words struck her like a thunderbolt.
She suddenly sat up straight, her movement so fast that it startled Lee Ji-eun. Hwang Ye-ji stood between the two, her previously well-behaved demeanor completely gone, pouting and remaining silent.
"What's wrong, Lychee? Are you feeling unwell?" Lee Ji-eun was a little flustered and reached out to pull her.
But Li Zhi, who is usually the most obedient, seemed to be a different person at this moment. He flicked his hand and dodged Li Zhi'en's hand.
Lin Yuan and Li Zhi'en looked at each other, and the air froze instantly.
Oh no, this reaction is strange. What's wrong with her this time? Could it be... that this girl likes Ji-eun?
Hmm~ If this is true, what should I do? Crawl under the bed? Or give them a room?
Sensing the increasingly tense atmosphere, before he could even speak, he received a solid blow to the arm.
"Snapped!"
Lee Ji-eun lowered her voice and glared at him: "What nonsense are you thinking! Aren't you going to try to appease her?"
Lin Yuan rubbed his arm while looking at the sulking Huang Lizhi, and he roughly understood what was going on. He gestured to Li Zhi'en, indicating "Leave it to me."
"Go back to your room first," Lin Yuan earnestly instructed. "Remember, the guest room."
Lee Ji-eun looked at him with suspicion. What did it have to do with which room he slept in if he was just trying to comfort the child? But seeing Lin Yuan's "all under control" look, she obediently got up and went back to her room.
In the living room, only an angry little fox and a young master who was about to "soothe" him remained.
He reached out and touched Lychee's shoulder, only to be brushed away a second later.
Ugh, this is tough!
He reached out and gently turned Lychee's body so that they were facing each other and he could see her expression.
I didn't know until I looked, the little girl actually started crying, her eyes were red, and tears slowly fell down her cheeks, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached out to wipe away the tears on Lychee's face, saying in the gentlest tone, "Lychee, be good, tell Oppa what's wrong, okay? Oppa will help you."
Hearing this, the little fox relaxed a little, then choked out, "Really...really? Will Oppa agree to anything I say?"
Lin Yuan considered it in his mind.
What conditions could a young girl possibly have? She simply couldn't bear to part with it.
It's like having your favorite toy taken away when you were a child; it feels the same way. You'll get used to it as time goes by or you grow up.
"Yes, I agree to both!"
After hearing his promise, Hwang Yeji sniffed, wiped away her tears, and said, "I...I want to stay here, and Oppa is not allowed to sleep with Unnie."
As he expected, the little girl liked Lee Ji-eun.
As for not letting him sleep with Lee Ji-eun....
As the saying goes, "For every policy from above, there's a countermeasure from below."
He didn't believe the girl's family would allow her to live here indefinitely.
"Living here is no problem, but do your family agree?"
He wanted to use this reason to dissuade her from the idea.
"Mmm, I agree."
Huh? Lin Yuan was dumbfounded.
"Agree? Don't you have to go home every day? Won't your family worry about you? How could they agree to you staying out all night?"
Upon hearing this, Hwang Ye-ji's previously gentle eyes instantly turned icy, and her tone became completely devoid of emotion, "Oppa, are you going back on your word? You said you'd agree to anything, you liar! You big liar!"
The tears she had just wiped away instantly welled up again, and she kept pounding her fists on Lin Yuan's chest to vent her grievances and resentment.
"I'm never talking to you again, ever!!!"
