Yi Luowa nodded, "Aunt, if you’re busy, once Tong Airui comes out, I’ll have him call you back, okay?"

"He’s just like his dad; he definitely won’t answer my calls anytime soon. The reason I called is actually because I wanted to talk to you and apologize."

Ni Lu spoke sincerely, making Yi Luowa feel a bit embarrassed. She pinched her earlobe lightly, "Aunt, elders apologizing to juniors—where would you ever hear of something like that?"

"An apology is necessary. The fact that Shiqing turned out the way she has is because your uncle and I didn’t discipline her well. You’ve been wronged," Ni Lu paused, then continued, "Rui’er’s wife, I heard that Xi Meichen brought you back. With a foster mother like her, child, you’ve had such a tough life. If you don’t mind, consider me as your family from now on. If anything ever comes up, just tell me—I’ll absolutely stand up for you."

Yi Luowa’s heart warmed, and she smiled, "Thank you, Aunt."

After chatting with Ni Lu for a while, Yi Luowa hung up the phone and grinned as she said to Tong Airui, "Ni Lu Aunt is so nice; she’s nothing like Shiqing."

"Who knows who she takes after," Tong Airui snorted coldly.

"Enough about her. You go rest for a while; I’ll go check on my second uncle, okay?" Yi Luowa said as she was about to leave, but Tong Airui forcefully pulled her back.

"Wife, we need to have a serious talk."

"Talk about what?" Yi Luowa asked, puzzled.

"No matter where you go in the future, can you bring me along?" Tong Airui asked pitifully.

Yi Luowa froze for a moment before bursting into laughter, "What, are you Duoduo now? Do you need to be carried step by step?"

"No need to carry me; I’ll follow on my own," Tong Airui said with a grin as he held her hand tight. "Come on, let’s go check on Second Uncle."

"You really can’t bear to part with me, huh?" Yi Luowa teased, scratching his palm playfully. "Then when I go to the bathroom, should I bring you along too?"

"Sure!" Tong Airui replied with a mischievous grin.

"Haha... Tong Airui, when you’re cheeky, you really can’t be outdone. Next time, I’ll make sure your subordinates know what kind of person you really are."

"In front of outsiders, you have to defend my honor because we’re a team. When one wins, the other wins; when one loses, the other loses."

Yi Luowa smiled and nodded, "Got it, from now on I’ll only bully you when no one’s around."

"Mm, when no one’s around, you can bully me as much as you like..."

Tong Airui was about to continue educating his young wife when Maize Kai hurriedly exited his office, with Jimo Shanshan angrily chasing after him.

"Maize Kai, why are you always avoiding me?"

Without looking back, Maize Kai headed straight to the operating room.

Yi Luowa watched him with amusement. "His speed is improving!"

Tong Airui chuckled and turned to Jimo Shanshan, "Shanshan, why are you throwing such a tantrum?"

Jimo Shanshan pouted, "That snail sees me and runs—I don’t look that terrifying, do I?"

Tong Airui laughed, "Well, why not visit him more often? Help the snail work on his speed."

Jimo Shanshan slowly shuffled over, "Airui, help me get him back. Grandma’s coming over soon, and I’m worried something might happen. If he’s around, I’ll feel a bit more assured."

"Call me Uncle!" Tong Airui said with a mischievous grin.

"Not a chance!" Jimo Shanshan glared at him, then turned to Yi Luowa with a cheerful smile. "Little Aunt, could you help me call Maize Kai back?"

Yi Luowa’s cheeks instantly turned crimson. "Um..."

"She’s already calling you Little Aunt, and you’re not helping her out? That’s not your style," Tong Airui said as he grabbed her hand and started walking. "Shanshan, just wait here."

Yi Luowa glanced at him with amusement. Sometimes, Tong Airui was like a big kid—someone calling her Little Aunt was enough to make him this happy.

Tong Airui stood outside the operating room and called out at least ten times before Maize Kai slowly stepped out. "I already heard you. Go mind your own business."

Tong Airui smirked, "Do you think I enjoy meddling in your affairs? Don’t forget, Shanshan might be your future boss. Keep opposing her, and do you still think you’ll be able to stick around here?"

"If this place doesn’t keep me, somewhere else surely will!" Maize Kai adjusted his glasses and winked at Yi Luowa. "Fourth Sister-in-law, lunch is on me today."

Tong Airui squinted dangerously and immediately pulled Yi Luowa away.

Yi Luowa glanced back at Maize Kai, noticing his smug grin directed at Tong Airui. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Tong Airui, you fell for it. Doctor Maize deliberately provoked you."

"I know!" Tong Airui snorted coldly, "When they all find girlfriends, I’ll show them who’s boss!"

"You’ve said that many times now," Yi Luowa chuckled. "I’ll help you when the time comes; we’ll make sure they’re utterly defeated!"

"Double swords unite!" Tong Airui grinned with satisfaction.

Yi Luowa smirked and pouted. "No! It’s more like double scoundrels unite!"

Tong Airui’s expression instantly darkened.

Yi Luowa giggled softly, slipping her hand under his arm. "Come on, give sis a smile~"

He was trying to resist! Determined not to laugh!

Um! Couldn’t hold it!

Tong Airui burst out laughing.
