Chapter 954: Looks Like the Power’s Out
A lady of a noble family, gentle and quiet—these traits have nothing to do with Xu Haohao’s fiery temper.Su Li’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking about the WeChat message Xu Haohao just sent her; it seemed Haohao was feeling pretty good about herself...
Su Li laughed awkwardly and said, "The criteria for choosing a partner are just a standard. If you really meet that person, maybe all the initial standards will be changed for them."
Feng Huaimu picked up a bottle of high-proof white liquor and said with a smile, "Are you telling me that Old Seven and your previously set criteria for choosing a partner don’t match?"
Su Li: "..."
This eldest son of the Feng Family is practically a master debater... How did he turn the conversation to her so suddenly?
Su Li thought deeply for a moment, and it was indeed the case. At least before she met Tuanzi, she never thought she would be with someone like Feng Huaijin.
Despite Feng Huaijin’s annoying habit of loving to bicker with others, she somehow could tolerate it.
Tuanzi watched the two of them from the side, with a strange look in his round, dark eyes.
Uncle is lying; clearly, when he went to the Summer Villa last time, he saw him looking at old photos of Aunt Haohao. In those photos, Aunt Haohao looked as radiant as a little sun.
Aunt Haohao has nothing to do with being a lady of a noble family, gentle and quiet.
Su Li’s eyes lit up with surprise and said, "Found it!"
Su Li stood on tiptoe to take down a bottle of transparent red liquid, immediately recognizing it as something made from grapes.
Feng Huaimu came over, glanced at it in surprise, and said, "Juice? For Tuanzi?"
Tuanzi’s eyes immediately started to shine.
Su Li hugged that bottle of red wine tightly, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "No..."
A blush gradually spread across her face. She and Feng Huaijin had been together for almost three months...
Shouldn’t they celebrate their three-month anniversary?
Feng Huaimu looked down at Tuanzi, who instantly became disappointed, and affectionately patted Tuanzi’s little head: "There’s still some juice specially prepared for kids here. Uncle will get it for you."
Tuanzi immediately nodded, his eyes shimmering like stars.
No matter when it was, Uncle was always super nice to him. He really liked Uncle!
Su Li watched Feng Huaimu walk into the depths of the underground cellar, followed by the sound of selecting juice bottles colliding.
Suddenly!
The dim yellow light overhead faded, and all that could be seen was darkness.
Tuanzi screamed in fright, quickly grabbing Su Li’s hand, his small body leaning closer to her, "Mama, did the power go out?"
Su Li couldn’t figure out if the cellar’s lights had tripped, holding Tuanzi’s hand as she called out, "Big brother? Big brother? It seems like there’s a power outage. Let’s go up first and stop looking."
With a crash, the sharp sound of bottles shattering echoed, followed by an overwhelming fragrance spreading through the cellar, a scent unbearably sweet.
It was the aroma of wine!
Some wine bottles had been broken.
The sound came from the direction where Feng Huaimu had gone earlier.
Su Li became anxious and immediately called out, "Big brother? Big brother?"
Su Li patted Tuanzi’s little head and said, "Tuanzi, wait here for Mama. Mama’s going to check on your uncle. Don’t be afraid; this is your great-grandfather’s house, it’s very safe, and your dad is right at the cellar door."
Tuanzi obediently nodded, "Tuanzi’s not afraid of the dark."
When he was young, he was very afraid of the dark. Every time, Mama had to tell him a bedtime story to coax him to sleep, otherwise, he couldn’t turn off the lights.
But since Mama died, he knew there would never be anyone to read him bedtime stories anymore. He grew up overnight and was no longer afraid of the dark.
