CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 60 YUN YUQING’S NURSE UNIFORM COSPLAY SHOW, SO GOOD!_2

"Who would have thought that in just twenty short years, it would be a whole different world? Taking care of children now is completely different from our day. Some of the old rules just don’t apply anymore. If I tried to use my experience from raising Xiaoli to take care of my grandchildren, I’d just be asking for trouble."

"Fine, I agree to you hiring a nanny, but I’ll be in charge of the daily expenses. A lot of nannies these days aren’t up to the job; even the ones trained by big, reputable companies have their share of incompetents. I need to have oversight."

"Fine, Auntie, we’ll leave the oversight to you," Sun Dasheng said with a smile.

"What did you call me?" Mother Wu stared at him.

He felt a little uneasy under her gaze, but luckily, Wu Xiaoli came to his rescue. "Mom, you have to give him some time to adjust."

"All right, all right. I’ll wait until your wedding banquet for you to formally change what you call me," Mother Wu said with a smile.

Rural people take wedding banquets very seriously. Only after hosting a banquet and sharing a wedding meal with relatives and friends would they consider you a legally married couple in their eyes. It’s different from the city, where just getting a marriage certificate is enough.

On the living room’s exceptionally wide balcony, the two of them sat in a hanging basket chair. Wu Xiaoli glanced at her mother, who was engrossed in the television, and whispered to Sun Dasheng, "Brother Sun, please don’t take my mom’s words to heart. As for the banquet back in our hometown, I’ve already told her we’re not going to rush it."

But her understanding words were unexpectedly met with opposition from Sun Dasheng. "Silly girl, you’re already the mother of my child. Wouldn’t I be a sorry excuse for a man if I couldn’t even provide you with a decent wedding?"

"But..." What about all those other women you have? she wanted to ask.

"No buts. It has already wronged you that we can’t get a marriage certificate. If we don’t even hold a wedding, how could I live with myself?" Sun Dasheng’s tone was resolute, leaving no room for argument.

She leaned into his embrace, touched. "Thank you for considering so much for me."

The matter of the wedding was both difficult and, in a way, simple. All he had to do was persuade Mother Wu to hold it in her hometown. That way, the wedding could take place without his other women knowing. As for his own parents, they were easy to handle. A man’s second marriage didn’t need to be as high-profile as a woman’s. He could just bring his parents to Shanghai City, and the two families could have a meal together. That would be enough.

...

He had been staying over at Wu Xiaoli’s place for the past few days. He didn’t do anything else, just held her at night, sharing heartfelt conversations and chatting.

One evening, while lying in his arms, Wu Xiaoli said, "Brother Sun, you don’t have to come over tomorrow night."

Sun Dasheng was a bit surprised. "Why not?"

Wu Xiaoli said, "If you’re at my place every day, what about all those other women of yours?"

He was genuinely surprised. He never thought a woman like this existed.

"Don’t look at me like that, Brother Sun. I’m not that greedy. As long as you keep treating me well, that’s enough. I don’t need you to be with me every day."

Sun Dasheng couldn’t help but kiss the considerate little wife in his arms. So thoughtful!

「No. 1 Courtyard Apartment.」

The three little ones saw Sun Dasheng enter, looking at him as if he were an alien.

"Wow! Uncle, we thought you had been abducted by aliens!" Li Sili exclaimed dramatically.

Sun Dasheng changed his shoes and handed them the gifts he’d brought. "Do you have to be so dramatic, Li Sili? I replied to your messages every day, didn’t I?"

"Wow! Such beautiful clothes! Thank you, Uncle!" Li Sili opened the bag to find an exquisite, custom-made cosplay costume. Since the gift was right up her alley, she stopped teasing him.

"Uncle, let me tell you a secret," Li Sili said, wrinkling her pretty nose. "It seems someone has been pursuing Si Han and Yu Qing lately. If it weren’t for the gift you brought, I wouldn’t have told you."

"You little imp. You’re not just making this up to trick me for a gift, are you?" he teased. "Besides, they’re both pretty girls, so it’s normal for them to have suitors. What about you? Has anyone been pursuing you?"

Li Sili hadn’t expected the tables to turn on her. "Uncle, I’ll go try on the clothes first! We can talk later!" she said with a laugh, quickly retreating to her bedroom.

Before long, Fang Sihan and Yun Yuqing returned.

Seeing their uncle sitting on the sofa, they joyfully settled down beside him, one on each side.

"Why did you two come back so late today? You weren’t with Li Sili?" he asked, probing indirectly to see if the girl had been fooling him.

"Uncle, let Yu Qing tell you about it. I’m still so mad about today!" Fang Sihan huffed, refusing to speak.

Sun Dasheng turned to Yun Yuqing, who calmly began to narrate the whole ordeal.

It turned out that what Li Sili said was true, but she had the details wrong. It wasn’t about being pursued; it was plain harassment.

The man was a small-time director who hung around in Hengdian. There, he laid eyes on the stunning sisters and got some crooked ideas. After tracking down their school, he even followed them there.

His tactics were the same old tricks. First, he handed out his business card, touting himself as a director who had worked with many famous directors and actors. Then he mentioned a popular TV drama currently in production, claiming he knew the director and could get them a role. Of course, getting the part meant paying a price. As for what that price entailed, anyone with acting experience knew all too well.

Fang Sihan and Yun Yuqing, having been with Sun Dasheng for so long, were no naive little white rabbits. They instantly sniffed out his rotten intentions. After repeated rejections, they still couldn’t shake off the persistent pest.

So they turned to their homeroom teacher, Ding Muchen, for help.
