"Thank you, Uncle Li."
Shen Mianmian smiled, squinting her eyes and keenly noticed that a smile also flickered in the depths of Li Julin's eyes.
She chatted with Xiu Min for a while, and when Xiu Min invited her to stay for dinner, Shen Mianmian declined, citing that she still had to stop by the store.
Xiu Min didn't insist and walked her to the door, "Mianmian, your Uncle Li doesn't actually blame you. He was worried because you didn't come today. He's just like that, his way of expressing himself is different from others."
"Auntie Xiu, I know Uncle Li is worried about me. I was indeed delayed by something today and didn't inform you ahead of time. It was inconsiderate of me."
Although not related by blood to Li Julin, Shen Mianmian knew him quite well. In her past life, when she first started taking care of Li Julin without understanding his temperament, she faced several setbacks. But once she got to know him, he treated her like a daughter.
