Chapter 370 An Xin'er doesn't know.
Li Luochen scratched his head, deciding to put aside this sudden identity as "Seventh Uncle" for now and focus on the important matter at hand.
He focused his attention on An Xin'er, who was sitting at the table, and tried to make his tone sound gentle: "An Xin'er, I'm here to take you back to the hotel."
"Huh~?"
An Xin'er shuddered, and her swaying legs stopped instantly.
She looked up, her big eyes meeting Li Luochen's, and the expression on her small face instantly changed from boredom to pitiful.
Her little mouth twitched, and it looked as if she could squeeze out a few tears at any moment.
"But..." she muttered softly, stealing a glance at Vladali across from her, "but this red-haired uncle said he'd treat me to some delicious juice..."
The straw in the juice glass in front of her hadn't been touched.
Li Luochen then looked at Vladali.
This sales pitch sounds like something a wicked old man would use to coax a child.
Vladali chuckled dryly, shrugged, and explained innocently, "I met her at the door. Seeing that she had no one to take care of her, I brought her in to look after her, lest she be kidnapped."
He spoke with such conviction, as if he were truly a kind-hearted and compassionate person.
Li Luochen stared at him for two seconds without saying a word, but his expression became subtle.
What kind of "I see you have no one to take care of you" "I brought you in and greeted you" "So you don't get kidnapped"?
They came up with a series of plans, which sounded like they were doing good deeds, but upon closer inspection, something just didn't feel right.
Hua Yi muttered softly beside her, "Isn't this just a disguised form of kidnapping...?"
One sentence almost ruined Vladali's efforts.
Vladali's lips twitched, and his smile froze for a moment. He was clearly taken aback by Hua Yi's words, "Isn't this just a disguised form of kidnapping?"
He's the boss of the Flame Group, a great philanthropist in the Carlos region. When has he ever been so bluntly confronted?
But he was a worldly man after all, and he quickly adjusted his expression, coughed lightly, and casually changed the subject.
"Look," Vladali pointed to Anxin sitting opposite him, "Anxin doesn't want to leave right now, does she? Why don't you two sit down and have a drink, and take her back later?"
With that, Vladali gestured for Li Luochen and Hua Yi to take their seats.
"Mmm! Take me with you after you finish drinking!"
An Xin'er nodded in agreement, her little face still showing that aggrieved expression, but her eyes were secretly glancing at Li Luochen and Hua Yi, as if observing their reactions.
These two must have been called by Huba and Sister Chunzi!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have found her so quickly!
"Okay, then just give me a cup of coffee."
Li Luochen didn't stand on ceremony and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"I want a cappuccino."
Hua Yi sat down, speaking as naturally as if she came here to spend money every day.
Anyway, Vladali is the big boss, so this little bit of money is nothing to him.
Vladali smiled and nodded, gesturing for the waiter to come and take their order.
His gaze lingered on Li Luochen for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
An Xin'er sat opposite her, her grievances had faded considerably, replaced by a hint of curiosity.
She looked at Li Luochen, then at Vladali, as if trying to figure out what the relationship between the two was.
These two don't look alike. Are they really uncle and nephew?
Um......
An Xin'er doesn't know.
"Pa-hee-hee!" (It's delicious!)
Number Three Huba peeked out from behind Li Luochen and immediately spotted the almost untouched glass of juice in front of An Xin'er.
Its eyes lit up, it rubbed its little paws together, flew to An Xin'er's side, stared at the brightly colored juice, and couldn't help but lick its lips.
"Give!"
An Xin'er generously pushed the juice towards the third Hupa, a sweet smile on her little face.
Although she was young, it was clear that this little hupa really wanted to drink.
"Paji!" (Thank you!)
Number three, Huba, immediately beamed with joy, took a satisfying sip from the cup, and her little face was filled with happiness.
At that moment, a flash of golden light appeared.
Hoopa and Little Hoopa also appeared.
"They have delicious food but didn't order it!"
"Me too!"
Two hoppers squeezed to the left and right of hoppers number three, and the three little creatures surrounded the glass of juice, making for a lively scene.
"Wow!" An Xin'er's eyes widened, and she clapped her hands in surprise, "Three little handkerchiefs!"
"ha?"
Vladali, who was making coffee in the distance, stared wide-eyed.
The coffee pot in his hand froze in mid-air, as if his entire being had been put on pause.
Three hoopas?!
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
But when she opened her eyes again, the three little creatures were still gathered around An Xin'er's juice cup, chattering and vying for a drink...
The mythical Pokémon Hoopa, which is rarely seen by ordinary people, ended up with three of them in Li Luochen's possession.
It's outrageous!
My nephew really is exactly as those people in the group described; it's truly terrifying...
"Paji!" (Delicious!)
Number Three Huba patted its round little belly, its face full of satisfaction. It licked its lips and turned to look at An Xin'er.
"Paji?" (Shouldn't we be leaving now?)
"Huh?"
An Xin'er stared at the empty glass in front of her.
The glass of juice had been completely devoured by the three pumpkins, not a single drop was left.
Her lips pursed again, clearly indicating she didn't want to go back.
But......
There's no more juice...
Her legs dangled under the chair, her gaze drifting elsewhere, trying to stall for time.
Li Luochen couldn't help but smile when he saw the little girl's expression.
He then looked at Vladali, who was making coffee not far away, and asked, "Uncle Seven, would you mind getting me a pitcher of juice?"
"no problem."
Fradali readily agreed, turned around, took out a pitcher of fresh juice from behind the counter, and brought it over himself.
"Yay! Juice again!"
An Xin'er clapped her hands in delight, her reluctance instantly replaced by joy.
After Vladali placed the juice on the table, Li Luochen poured a glass for An Xin'er, who then happily drank it.
For now, Li Luochen wasn't in a hurry; he'd just stay put for the time being.
He picked up the cup of coffee in front of him and slowly took a sip.
The food was pretty good; it seems that Vladali's café really does have some merit.
As Li Luochen sipped his coffee, he naturally turned his gaze to An Xin'er.
Speaking of which...
If we really want to make something for Hoopa, could we use the cafe's kitchen?
After all, Fradali has all the ingredients and a fully equipped kitchen, which is much more convenient than finding them elsewhere. And—
Li Luochen looked up at "Seventh Uncle" opposite him.
This is the owner of the Blazing Flame Group, a great philanthropist in the Carlos region. Asking him to use the kitchen shouldn't be too difficult, right?
