After having hard time sleeping, Li Cheng only managed to sleep for few hours. Early in the morning, He woke up and freshened up. Without making his hair, He went straight to eat breakfast.
Li Ri was also in the kitchen that time. She was placing the apple's pieces in the plate. When she brought it to the dining table, She froze looking at Li Cheng.
The plate fell from her hand as the apple spread in the floor. Li Cheng was feeling thirsty. So, He sat down and poured himself a glass of water without even looking at Li Ri's shocked gaze.
Hearing the sound, Li Ruan and Tang Fian came. When they also walked by Li Ri's side and followed her gaze, They had same reaction as Li Ri. " Ho..Honey.." Tang Fian voice trembled slightly.
Li Cheng was looking more horrible right now. His hair was messy and frizzy. His eye lids were puffy and dark circles covered it .His lips were dry and cracked.
Before the slight wrinkles in his face didn't matter but now It made him look more aged. He looked totally terrible. The still handsome Li Cheng was nowhere to be found in the recent one.
Li Cheng looked at them lazily. " Hm." Tang Fian took a deep breath to courage herself " Honey, Go take a shower. And you look..quite..I mean a little tired. So, Get some beauty sleep as well. When the breakfast will be ready, I will bring it for you."
Li Cheng nodded his head and went back to his room. Everybody sighed a relief. ' That was quite horrible.'
But after a while, Li Cheng returned still in his horrible looks.The sudden comeback made them startled.
Tang Fian hurriedly asked " Do you want anything, Honey?" Li Cheng looked at her expressionlessly " Don't send the breakfast. I will eat it here with the family. " After saying that, He went straight back to his room.
Tang Fian sighed again. Li Ri came back to her senses when Tang Fian called her out.Li Ri said " Mother, Is he really our father?..I mean.."
Tang Fian interrupted her " Clean the mess. Your father is just tired due to staying all night doing works.
He barely got any sleep lately. So, don't bother him". Tang Fian then went inside the kitchen area without even looking at her.
Li Ri was speechless. ' It isn't the first time father stayed up all night doing works, But that time He wasn't looking as horrible as just now. As well he was looking kinda..sad.' Li Ri thought.
Li Ruan was also shocked by his father's appearance. But he didn't care as much as Li Ri did. He went back to his room. Li Ri cleaned the floor and went to her room to get changed.
After a while, Su Yumi entered the kitchen. Tang Fian was preparing the breakfast. Su Yumi started to wash the fruits.
There were sound of the water splashing and cooking. No one uttered a single word. Until Tang Fian broke the silence. " Mother, Do you think that I hate Li-..Xiao Seulbi?"
' Yes, I hate her to the core.' She thought as she put on a innocent smile. Su Yumi didn't say anything.
After turning off the tap, She started to peel the apple. " Why would you think that? " Su Yumi asked suddenly. She was well aware who treats whom great and bad.
While cooking, Tang Fian replied " Because You said earlier that you felt sad after I married Cheng and came into this house. But you felt relieved knowing that Xiao Seulbi will get motherly love. But I couldn't achieve your expectations. I tried many times to approach Xiao Seulbi, I failed everytime. I think she always treated me as a stranger. I really want to treat her like my other childrens."
Tang Fian scoffed at her heart 'My child..huh..Li Seulbi you are not worthy of being my child. I wish I can throw you out right now.' Su Yumi stopped peeling and looked at Tang Fian with slightly furrowed brows " Really? Xiao Seulbi denied to spend time with you? You really approached her?"
Tang Fian straightened her back after listening to Su Yumi's words. She nodded her head " Of course, She is like my daughter. I will try my best to treat her like Xiao Ri. And Chengcheng also doesn't look good recently. He must've stayed all night taking stress that he looks terrible now. Please forgive him and forget the past. I can't see him suffering like that anymore."
' Daughter my a**, Beacause of her Cheng is in this state of mental breakdown. I have bad impression in front of this old hag. If she could be more beautiful, then I might treat her more better. But who will care about that ugly now?' Tang Fian thought in her mind.
Su Yumi started to cut the fruits slowly" Have you heard the proverb ' You reap what you sow' ? ..It means You should consequently bare the consequences of your actions. If you do good, Good things will happen and if you do bad, Bear the results. "
Tang Fian didn't know how to respond anymore. She silently preapred the breakfast and put it in the dining table. " Kids, Come fast. Breakfast is ready."
