Qiu Manyu burst out in laughter when she saw Li Jinnan’s shocked expression. His eyes were wide open, and his jaw hung down.

Li Beixing looked very satisfied with himself. He stepped forward and meaningfully patted Li Jinnan on his shoulder as he remarked, “Third Li, you’re the last one left. Look at your second brother! His wife is already pregnant for the second time!”

“Eldest Uncle, carry me!” Li Jianyue leaned over with her arms outstretched from Li Jinnan to Li Beixing.

Li Beixing carried the little girl and asked, “Shall we ask your Uncle to get married and give you an aunt?”

Li Jianyue didn’t understand the question. She blinked her eyes before asking, “Do you mean to ask Uncle to marry a wife?”

Li Beixing swiped her little nose and replied, “What a smart little girl.”

When Li Jianyue heard that, her face broke out into a grin as she exclaimed, “Yes! If Uncle marries a wife, he’ll have someone to sleep with him at night!”

The kid’s words put a smile on Qin Shuhua’s face. She asked, “Why does Uncle need to find someone to sleep with him at night?”

Li Jianyue was stumped by the question. She tilted her head and pondered the question for a long while before answering, “In our house, other than Uncle and Great-Grandpa, everyone else sleeps in pairs. Great-Grandpa is old, so he won’t be frightened. Uncle is only a little younger that Daddy, so he probably needs a wife to sleep with him so that he won’t be scared at night.” As she spoke, her voice became softer. She sounded confounded as she asked, “But, Uncle is a man. Why would he be scared?”

Li Jianyue’s words made everyone around burst out in laughter.

Li Jinnan chuckled and replied, “That’s right. Why would I get scared?”

Li Jianyue couldn’t figure it out. She creased her brows together in a frown and pondered the question with her head tilted for a long time.

“Don’t think about it anymore,” Li Jinnan said. “Where are your Daddy and Mommy?”

“They’re inside the house! Daddy is chatting with my younger brother! Hehe. I think Daddy is so silly. My younger brother can’t speak.” As Li Jianyue spoke, she struggled to get down. “Eldest Uncle, I’m going to play with my older brothers. You can go and play with Eldest Aunt.”

The young child landed on the ground and ran inside.

Li Beixing smiled as he sat by Qiu Manyu’s side and said, “Time really flies. Second Brother’s two children are already able to run and jump! In the blink of an eye, their next child is going to be arriving soon. Sigh...”

Qiu Manyu glanced at him. She remarked, “If you had shown a little more initiative back then, our child would be running around now too.”

Li Beixing was suddenly embarrassed. He laughed awkwardly and covered his embarrassment with a cup of tea. He didn’t say another word.

Li Jinnan knew that there had to be more to their story than they had let on. He looked at them playfully. With a wiggle of his brows, he asked, “I guess everything is set for you. So, when did you start?”

“It’s been a while. About two or three years. You’re the only one left now. I heard you’ve been very busy lately, flying all over for business. How do you find it? The days in the army were still better, weren’t they?” Li Beixing passed a cigarette over to Li Jinnan. “It’s not going to work if you continue this way. Why don’t you let Grandfather find a match for you, just like he did for Second Brother. You’ll be able to get married straight away and be done with it.”

Li Jinnan accepted the cigarette and shook his head. “That won’t work.” He lit the cigarette and said, “There’s no rush. When the time is right, I’ll bring her back to you guys.”

Li Beixing understood him well. When he heard his words, he stiffened and laughed. “Whoa! I see you have someone in mind?”

The only thing that was currently in Li Jinnan’s mind was Ye Youyou’s blushing face as she faced him. He inhaled his cigarette with a chuckle and didn’t say anymore.

Such a reaction was as good as a silent acknowledgement. Qin Shuhua’s eyes brightened. “Which family is this lady from? How old is she? Has she been attached before?” With that, she muttered to herself, “It had better not be one of those dirty women out there. You have to find a proper match!”
