Chapter 249 Bringing Back Two Kids to Keep You Company
Li Yumei chuckled and nodded. "That's right. However, that old man is not easy to deal with. He hasn't smiled in over twenty years, and he rarely pays attention to me."
Qibao pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "He really sounds like a strange old man."
Li Yumei did not respond, but simply turned her head and looked out the window.
As the car continued forward, Liu Bao and Qi Bao gradually felt sleepy, and their eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
Before long, the two leaned back in their seats and fell into a deep sleep.
The car finally stopped the next morning.
Li Yumei gently shook Liu Bao and Da Bao's shoulders, "Wake up, we're here."
Liu Bao opened his eyes and moved his stiff hands and feet. Da Bao, on the other hand, suddenly stood up, rubbed his eyes, and quickly woke up.
"Where is this?" Liu Bao looked out the car window. The sky was a clear blue, and he could hear the wind.
Da Bao opened the car door, and a ray of warm sunlight shone in. She squinted her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sunlight, "It's so warm!"
Li Yumei opened the car door, got out, and stood quietly watching them. Her voice remained calm, "This is where you'll be staying from now on. I hope you can make that old man happy."
Liu Bao and Da Bao exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt and curiosity flashing in their eyes. They didn't know what would happen next, but they had a vague feeling that this mission was not simple.
“Let’s go,” Li Yumei turned around and walked forward. “I’ll take you to see that old man.”
Liu Bao and Da Bao deftly unbuckled their seatbelts, picked up their small backpacks, and followed Li Yumei out of the car.
What came into their view was a beautiful little villa with exquisite carved railings and a retro red tile roof, exuding a unique charm under the sunlight.
Surrounded by rolling mountains and lush trees, this place is like a paradise.
The two little ones looked around, but couldn't figure out where they were.
"Auntie, this place is so beautiful, but where exactly are we?" Liu Bao asked, his face full of confusion.
Li Yumei simply smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
Liu Bao turned to Da Bao and suggested, "Since we're here, let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can figure out what's going on, and we should try our best to make the old man happy."
Da Bao nodded, and the two followed Li Yumei toward the small Western-style building.
Upon entering the small villa, Liu Bao and Da Bao immediately recognized the interior design style.
Blue butterfly murals hang on the walls, and butterfly-shaped decorations are placed in every corner of the room, making it feel like stepping into a butterfly world.
Da Bao frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Liu Bao, don't you think the decor here is similar to Grandma's house? Grandma also really likes butterflies."
Liu Bao nodded vigorously: "That's right, I noticed it too, what a coincidence."
At this moment, Li Yumei said to the maid beside her, "Take the young masters to take a bath, and then let them rest well."
Two elderly women dressed as servants immediately bowed their heads respectfully and said softly, "Young master, please come with us."
Liu Bao and Da Bao obediently followed the maid upstairs.
Along the way, they looked around curiously and found that the small villa had five floors, and they were assigned to stay on the third floor.
Upon arriving at the room, the maid quickly prepared hot water and said softly, "Young Master, the hot water is ready. Please take a bath."
Liu Bao and Da Bao waved their hands and said, "You two go out first, we'll do it ourselves."
After the maid left, Liu Bao didn't rush to take a bath. Instead, he quickly walked to the window and carefully observed the situation outside.
"Strange, why isn't there a single guard?" Liu Bao muttered to himself.
Da Bao, meanwhile, started taking off his clothes nonchalantly, saying, "Liu Bao, don't be nervous. I think Sister Li Yumei brought us here just to make Grandpa happy; she won't hurt us."
Liu Bao ignored Da Bao and continued to observe the outside world intently. He even found paper and pen and began to draw a map.
Da Bao was soaking in the bathtub, comfortably half-closing his eyes. Before long, he felt sleepy, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
"Liubao, stop working and rest for a while..." Dabao's voice grew softer and softer, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.
Liu Bao glanced at Da Bao, who was fast asleep, shook his head helplessly, and continued to focus on his topographical map.
He knew that he had to be careful when he was out and about, because who knew what might happen next.
……
After watching Liu Bao and Da Bao go upstairs with the maid, Li Yumei turned around and walked gracefully back to her room.
Upon entering the room, she went straight to the wardrobe, opened the door, and selected a green floral silk dress.
The dress she wore perfectly accentuated her well-maintained figure.
She let her hair, which had been tied up, fall loose, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, adding to her gentle appearance.
Then, she reached out and removed the butterfly mask from her face, revealing a young face with fair skin without a single wrinkle, and even a hint of childishness in her eyes.
After getting dressed, Li Yumei put on a pair of delicate high heels, gently adjusted her skirt in front of the mirror, and then walked out of the room with satisfaction, heading towards the room opposite.
She gently pushed open the door to the room opposite, a sweet smile on her face, and softly called out, "Brother Xiang Chen, I'm back."
At this moment, Tan Xiangchen was standing in front of the window, the sunlight shining through the window onto him, outlining his tall figure.
He was wearing the same mask as Li Yumei, and slowly turned around after hearing the voice.
Li Yumei was already used to Tan Xiangchen's indifference. She still smiled and walked towards him, her eyes falling on the drawing paper in his hand. She said, "Brother Xiangchen, you're drawing butterflies again. I think you could draw swallows sometimes. Swallows are so nice; they symbolize me."
Tan Xiangchen did not respond. He simply put down his paintbrush, turned around and walked to his desk, picked up a book, and began to read it by himself.
Li Yumei was not disappointed by Tan Xiangchen's indifference. In her opinion, it was enough to be by his side.
She walked up to Tan Xiangchen and said softly, "Brother Xiangchen, I brought back two little kids today. They're so cute."
Upon hearing the words "little kid," Tan Xiangchen's expression instantly turned cold. He raised his head and asked coldly, "Where did you come from?"
Li Yumei smiled and said mysteriously, "You'll see them at dinner later. I can't wait to see their reaction."
