Chapter 34: The Technique of Flattery

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Jie did not know what Rong Fang was thinking. He just felt that he definitely could not eat now. “What about you? How are you going to eat breakfast?”

Rong Fang looked uncomfortable for once.

Li Jie thought about how he had investigated the courtyard house yesterday and felt that Fourth Master knew about it. He had been feeling uneasy. It was his fault that he messed up on the title deed back then. In that case, he would take care of a seriously injured person beside Fourth Madam and sell her a favor to win leniency. Therefore, he said, “Let me help you deal with your wrist.”

Then, he fed Rong Fang breakfast.

Really, the two men were very awkward, especially Rong Fang. He had never been fed by anyone when he was young. Now that he was an adult, he actually still had to be fed by a man! However, in order to recover quickly, he could only swallow with difficulty so he could recover to take care of his sister, Dabao, and Xiaobao.

Seeing Rong Fang look like he was eating poison, Li Jie was also very unhappy! It was his first time feeding an irritable youth!

After an awkward breakfast, Li Jie coughed lightly. “I’ll send lunch on time too.”

Rong Fang did not sleep well.

Li Jie continued, “Remember to remind Miss Chu to eat breakfast when she wakes up.”

Rong Fang said, “Yes.”

The awkward conversation finally ended. Li Jie returned to Li Rui’s courtyard house, Peaceful Elegance Residence, as quickly as possible.

In the end, he was once again shocked by the scene before him.

In the garden pavilion, Fourth Master was playing chess with Little Master. It was a very peaceful scene, disturbed only by Li Chong sitting obediently at the side and letting Miss Xiaobao “draw” on his face.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Rui glanced at him and Li Jie was very shocked. Would he be next after Li Chong? He quickly said, “Fourth Master, I’ll make tea for you and prepare a fruit platter for Young Master Dabao and Miss Xiaobao.”

Li Rui ignored him and continued to play chess.

Xiaobao was learning how to put on makeup and was so tired that her face was covered in sweat. She raised her hand to wipe it and turned to look at Li Jie. “Uncle, I want another glass of fruit juice. Thank you.”

Li Jie felt touched. Look at how understanding this child was. “Okay, Miss Xiaobao, I’ll go now.”

He thought that Miss Xiaobao was an ange and that he should take greater initiative with her in the future.

Half an hour later, Li Jie came over with two fruit platters. Da Bao’s was in the shape of a small shark, and Xiao Bao’s was in the shape of a small bear. There were also two glasses of fruit and vegetable juice.

“Young Master Dabao, Miss Xiaobao, please enjoy.”

Looking at the very cute fruit bear, Xiaobao said excitedly, “Uncle Li Jie, you’re so awesome!”

Li Jie was very glad that he was good at this and almost cried. “Thank you for your praise, Miss Xiaobao.”

In order to please Little Young Master and Little Miss, he went online to check on the cute images of various fruit platters as soon as he arrived at the kitchen. Fortunately, he had some talent and succeeded.

Dabao also liked the fruit platter he made. “Thank you, Uncle Li Jie.”

Li Jie bowed deeply. “I’m honored to serve Young Master.”

Li Chong, whose face had been drawn all over, looked at Li Jie bitterly. Why didn’t he realize that Li Jie had this skill in the past? Did he learn it secretly from Li Cheng? This technique of flattery was simply perfect!

However, Li Chong also reacted and looked at Xiaobao with tears streaming down his face. “Little Miss, let’s rest for a while. I’ll feed you fruits, okay?”

Xiaobao puffed up her face and frowned. She sighed like an old man. She had already tried her best, but … Sure enough, some things really required talent. Of course, it also proved that she was definitely Mommy’s biological daughter. Look at her makeup skills. The eyeliner on Li Chong had turned into an earthworm, and his eyelashes were like the legs of flies!

“Alright, let’s rest, but I’m already three and a half years old. I don’t need Uncle Li to feed me. I can eat by myself.” After saying that, Xiaobao even stole a glance at her daddy. She had to be a good baby to make her daddy like her.

Li Chong wanted to cry even more. Why was it so difficult to flatter her? It was just feeding her fruit, but she rejected it.

Li Jie ignored Li Chong’s miserable state. “Miss Xiaobao, shall I bring you to wash your hands?”

Xiaobao said, “Yes.”

Li Jie held Xiaobao’s hand and came back clean.

Xiaobao sat beside Dabao and Li Rui and watched them play chess while eating fruit. As she ate, she held a blueberry and raised her chubby little arm to feed Li Rui. She said obediently and cutely, “Daddy, have a bite.”

Li Rui was frozen for a second before accepting his daughter’s feeding.
