Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 391

When they arrived, Li Lingyun picked up Dong Huang from the bamboo basket, put her down, and said, "Go and wash your hands. We will have lunch together."

Now that they’re here, it would be rude to refuse. Both Dong Li and Dong Huang went to wash away the dirt on their bodies with other children. As soon as the kids saw them, one of them asked, "Huh? I never see you. Who are you?"

Dong Huang didn’t know what to say and held her brother’s hand tightly. Both are outsiders and feel out of place at this family gathering. Before Dong Li could speak, he heard Li Chenze’s voice, "Have you done washing your hands?"

The children saw him and asked, "Uncle, who are they? I have never seen them before."

Li Chenze squatted down, looked at the children, and said with a smile, "They are the foster children of your ninth uncle. So, they are also your cousins. You must treat them well, do you understand?"

After hearing his words, they remembered their ninth uncle’s cold appearance and nodded. In the Li family, Li Chenmo ranks ninth, Li Chenze ranks third, and Li Lingyun ranks seventh. Therefore, although the household registration has been separated, they are still called according to the family hierarchy.

After knowing their identities, the children didn’t bother them and rushed to the living room to eat lunch while Dong Li and Dong Huang were stunned by Li Chenze’s words and stood there unmoving.

Dong Li recalled that he never agreed to become Li Chenmo’s adopted son. However, when he heard these words, he felt a surge of excitement and happiness in his heart.

Sensing their gazes, Li Chenze turned around, patted Dong Li on the shoulder and said seriously, "Xiao Li, I believe you know the importance of adults in the family, so I hope you will not reject my third brother’s intention to adopt you and your sister as his adopted children."

Dong Li lowered his head and thought for a long time. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, Uncle."

Li Chenze smiled and said, "Good. From now on, you are a member of the Li family. If you are bullied, you must find your uncle or your adoptive parents. Stop taking matters into your own hands. Do you understand?"

At this moment, Dong Li understood that Li Chenmo and Li Chenze knew what he did to Su Anna. Fear and worry surged through him and he quickly hid his hand behind his body. He finally felt the warmth of family again from them and was unwilling to lose it.

Seeing him hiding his hands, Li Chenze sighed and said, "Xiao Li, what you did is wrong, but we understand that you did it to protect your sister and yourself. It didn’t matter when there was no one who you could rely on before. But now, you can’t do this kind of thing anymore. You have to think about your own future and can’t act recklessly.
