Duan Li remained in Yun Jian’s arms. The girl was so light it felt like she weighed nothing, so Yun Jian was not at all worn out from carrying her.
The young girl wore her hair in two tall braided pigtails and looked incredibly adorable. As Yun Jian carried her, the two tall pigtails rubbed against her skin sometimes. Yun Jian did not mind it, though, smiling softly instead of looking peeved.
Si Yi went over the railing and went back to stand behind her.
“Young lady, your boyfriend’s very cool just now!”
When Yang Caidie stepped on Duan Li’s foot and wanted to leave without an apology earlier, everyone around them merely kept watching. This beer-bellied young man was the only one who stepped up to defend Yun Jian.
Now that he saw Yun Jian and Si Yi returning, he could not help making a comment to Yun Jian.
This beer-bellied young man was a typical big guy who looked rather heavy. He meant nothing else by his comment except wanting Yun Jian to know.
Yun Jian, too, admired someone like him who could lend a helping hand to a stranger during a trip, so she nodded at him with a smile after what he said but did not make a verbal reply.
Nonetheless, her smile could be considered a silent admission to the beer-bellied young man’s comment—Si Yi was her boyfriend.
As if having no one to chat with him, the young man looked at Duan Li who was being carried by Yun Jian, Duan Ya who held hands with the latter, and Yun Zhu who was in Si Yi’s clutch as well, and could not help commenting again.
“You two look very young, especially you, young lady. I thought you’re 16 or 17 years old! Haha! If I didn’t see your three children, I’d have thought both of you are a young couple in school!”
The big-sized man was obviously skeptical about the children being Yun Jian and Si Yi’s but come to think about it, some people just did not look their age. Yun Jian and Si Yi seemed young but the man thought that young couples who usually came for dates or travels would never bring their younger siblings along. If they did, their parents would at least come with them.
Although it was unbelievable, the beer-bellied man would rather assume that they were the parents than to think in that direction of thought.
Yun Jian froze the moment she heard what the man said and was going to say something—possibly to deny—when Si Yi spoke up. “It’s not good to keep the children at home constantly. We ought to spend some time and take the kids out more.”
His answer was admitting to the man’s claim.
The corners of Yun Jian’s lips twitched. She wanted to speak up to explain but Si Yi had wrapped an arm around her slim waist and looked at her fondly, saying, “There, there. Make sure you don’t drop the child.”
Yun Jian was speechless. She could even feel the burning gazes of the people around them on her.
“Hahaha! I can see that you husband and wife are very loving!” The big guy did not doubt Si Yi’s reply as all. At the same time, his term of address for Yun Jian and Si Yi went from “young couple” to “husband and wife”.
Yun Zhu, Duan Li and Duan Ya looked young enough that they could pass as kindergarten toddlers since all three of them were on the smaller side physically. Relatively, Yun Zhu had grown much taller recently—which was a good thing—but he looked like he was six or seven years old at most.
If Yun Jian and Si Yi were actually a little older, it did not sound exactly unbelievable that both of them got pregnant earlier and gave birth to the three kids.
The beer-bellied man chuckled.
“Very nice.”
Si Yi merely flashed a cool smile.
He was completely at ease saying an untruth like this because he wanted to mislead everyone into thinking that Yun Jian was already his. Others could forget about laying their hands on her—not even on a strand of her hair!
