Upon hearing Wushuang's words, An Yi immediately pulled back his foot, which had just stepped out, and grabbed Wushuang, ready to head downstairs.

Seeing that the two little ones had already started knocking on the door, Wushuang put his arm around An Yi's shoulder and said, "Come on, we're in a good mood today, I'll treat you to a drink!"

Wushuang internally ranted: "So you dared to laugh at me for being single? So what if I have a wife? Let me show you what it's like to have meat but not be able to eat it, or even get a sip of soup."

Inside the house, Nangong Li was embracing Li Liuyun, about to kiss her, when the voices of two little ones sounded at the door.

"Uncle, Aunt, we're back! Open the door!" Mingyue's voice rang out.

Upon hearing Mingyue's voice, Li Liuyun quickly broke free from Nangong Li's embrace, then straightened her clothes and adjusted the hairpin in her hair.

Nangong Li sighed, "Now I finally understand why young couples in modern times are unwilling to have children so early!"

Li Liuyun burst out laughing: "Where did you get so many twisted theories? I only know people say, 'Beware of fire, beware of thieves, beware of your best friend!' I've never heard of being wary of your child!"

Nangong Li pointed at the door with a wronged expression: "This is much worse than a mistress or lover! You can't hit her, you can't scold her, and you have to coax her!"

Seeing Nangong Li like this, Li Liuyun found it amusing. He cupped Nangong Li's face in his hands and kissed him, saying, "Alright, be good! This is to make it up to you! Don't hold a grudge against a child! I'll go open the door."

After Li Liuyun finished speaking, he turned around and went to the door. As soon as he opened the door, Qingfeng and Mingyue rushed in, each grabbing one of his legs!

"Auntie, what were you and Uncle doing just now? Why did it take you so long to open the door?" Mingyue tilted her little head up.

Li Liuyun looked embarrassed and glanced at Nangong Li: "There was a fly just now, and my aunt was busy swatting flies and didn't hear the knocking!"

When Nangong Li heard Li Liuyun say that he had just been swatting flies, he looked up at Li Liuyun, pointed to himself, and mouthed four words: "I am a fly."

Li Liuyun pretended not to see them, pulled Mingyue and Qingfeng into the room, and watched the two little ones walk in through the door.

Nangong Li took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Weren't you downstairs playing with Uncle An Yi? Why are you up here now?"

Qingfeng walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Mingyue. Looking at Nangong Li, he said, "Mingyue and I were downstairs, and we were thirsty. Uncle An Yi said he would take us upstairs to our room to drink water."

Then we met Uncle Wushuang at the stairs. Uncle Wushuang told us that Uncle and Aunt missed us, so Mingyue and I came to see them!

After hearing Qingfeng's words, Li Liuyun looked at Nangong Li with a playful expression: Serves you right, who told you to bully him just now, calling him a single dog, and even feeding him dog food in front of his face!

Upon hearing Qingfeng's words, Nangong Li gripped his teacup tightly and gritted his teeth: "I really underestimated him! He actually pulled this trick on me!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at Nangong Li in confusion. Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Li Liuyun: "Auntie, did my brother say something wrong? Why do I feel like Uncle is a little angry? Uncle won't hit my brother, will he?"

Upon hearing Mingyue's words, Qingfeng shrank back and quickly ran behind Li Liuyun, only peeking out with his head, looking at Nangong Li with a puzzled expression.

Li Liuyun pulled Qingfeng from behind, telling him not to listen to Mingyue's nonsense: "Your uncle is just hungry, not angry with you. Your uncle is an adult, how could he possibly hit a child?"

After hearing Li Liuyun's words, Qingfeng and Mingyue looked up at Nangong Li: "Is Uncle like this? Weren't you angry with your brother?"

"Uncle, are you really just hungry?" Qingfeng asked as well.

After hearing Li Liuyun's words, Nangong Li looked at Li Liuyun with a half-smile: "Your aunt is right. Uncle is just hungry. Uncle just wants to drink some soup, but your aunt won't give it to me."

Li Liuyun understood the implication in Nangong Li's words, and her face immediately turned red. She glared at Nangong Li and said, "Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting in front of the child?"

Nangong Li looked at the two children with a wronged expression: "Look, your aunt is so fierce!"

Mingyue shook Li Liuyun's arm: "Auntie, Uncle is so pitiful! Since Uncle wants to eat, then you should give him some! Mingyue has this, and this is from the shopkeeper, which was given to me and my brother. Please give Uncle some meat; look at how hungry he is, he's almost crying." Mingyue held up a small silver fish in her hand.

Qingfeng glanced at Nangong Li, then at Li Liuyun, and took out a small jade ruyi from his pocket, handing it to Li Liuyun: "If Auntie doesn't have enough, Qingfeng has some more here. You can take these two and exchange them for silver. That should be enough to buy meat!"

Li Liuyun stamped her foot: "Quickly put your things away. Your aunt has plenty of money. These are gifts from the shopkeeper. If you take them out and exchange them for money, the shopkeeper will be unhappy."

Mingyue pouted: "But Mingyue also wants to eat meat."

Li Liuyun squatted down, pinched Mingyue's cheek, put her little silver fish back into her bosom, patted it, and said with a smile, "Auntie has money, so we'll eat meat tonight."

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Mingyue jumped up happily and ran to Nangong Li's side: "Uncle, Auntie promised to give us meat tonight. You can share your share of the meat with Uncle!"

Upon hearing Mingyue's words, Nangong Li picked her up and held her high in the air: "No wonder people say that daughters are like warm cotton-padded jackets, it's because Mingyue cares so much about her uncle."

Mingyue was lifted high by Nangong Li and giggled. Qingfeng hugged Li Liuyun's leg, looked up at Li Liuyun, and said uneasily, "Auntie, actually Qingfeng can also share the meat with Uncle."

Looking at the uneasy expression in Qingfeng's eyes, Li Liuyun immediately thought of modern families with two children. If parents cannot treat both children equally, it will harm the other child.

So Li Liuyun picked up Qingfeng, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile, "Auntie knows our Qingfeng is very sensible! Don't worry, you can eat the meat yourselves. Auntie will prepare lots of delicious food for dinner, and there will be plenty of meat. Your uncle isn't feeling well, so he can't eat meat yet; he can only drink some soup at most!"

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Nangong Li's eyes lit up: "Yun'er, are you telling the truth? Can we have soup tonight?"

Li Liuyun put down Qingfeng and placed her hands on her hips: "Grandma, I keep my word. Tell me, do you want ginseng chicken soup or lotus root and pork rib soup tonight?"
