Chapter 303

Leng Zexi stared at the person in front of him solemnly, and said in a stern tone: "You must not rely on the fact that you have no sense of pain to recklessly not take care of your body, understand?"

His gaze was as sharp as a torch, as if it could penetrate deep into the other person's heart.

Ningning looked at her father's extremely serious expression and couldn't help feeling a little afraid.

He lowered his head and whispered softly, "I'm sorry, Dad. I know I was wrong." His voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Ningning, precisely because you cannot feel pain, you should pay more attention to protecting your body."

"Otherwise, by the time your body is seriously injured, it will be too late!" Leng Zexi continued to teach his youngest son earnestly.

At this moment, he suddenly changed the subject and mentioned another thing: "Also, when you fell just now, you actually swore. Who taught you that?"

After hearing this, Ning Ning's eyes widened and she looked at her father innocently, her eyes full of doubt and confusion, as if asking, "Is that true?"

Sui Sui, who was standing by, saw this and kindly reminded him: "It's that 'Fuck'."

Hearing this, Leng Zexi turned his head to look at Sui Sui, then turned to Ning Ning and said, "Sui Sui, Ning Ning, you two should go to the corner and face the wall for an hour. Reflect on your mistakes, and you must stand still!"

Nian Nian, who had been observing the scene silently from the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud with glee after hearing her father's punishment decision.

Xia Ruoan shook his head helplessly and looked at Nian Nian with a little helplessness.

Sure enough, the next moment, Leng Zexi said expressionlessly: "Niannian, go stand over there for half an hour."

Nian Nian looked at her father in bewilderment and confusion, blinking her big eyes and asking, "Why? Why should I be punished too?"

At this time, Leng Zexi glanced at him with a sneer and replied stiffly: "They are so happy because of the meal. In this case, then you should be happy with them."

After saying that, he no longer cared about the doubts and grievances of the years.

Seeing that he couldn't get any leniency from his father, Niannian looked at his mother pitifully, his eyes full of help, as if he hoped his mother could plead with his father on his behalf.

However, Xia Ruoan just glanced at Leng Zexi and shook his head helplessly at Nian Nian, indicating that he could do nothing about it.

As for the two elderly people in the family, the children’s grandparents, when they saw that their grandchildren were about to be punished, they turned around and left the scene silently.

After all, children can be pampered, but they must never be overly indulged.

There was no deliberate concealment of Ningning's affairs, and in fact, it could not be concealed at all.

Just as the family returned home, Xia Ruoan received a call from his parents.

On the other end of the phone, the old couple asked about Ningning's condition with great concern, and told them to take good care of her and not to take it lightly.

It turned out that Ningning was too lively and active. Compared with the well-behaved and sensible Suisui and Niannian, she naturally caused people more worries.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan watched Ningning, who couldn't wait to run towards the vegetable garden as soon as she entered the house, and a deep worry surged in his heart.

"I was a little worried that Ningning was really planning to go into the plant field like me."

"It's fine for other aspects, but if it involves outdoor work, I really can't feel at ease letting him go!" Xia Ruoan expressed his concerns with a sad face.

Leng Zexi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "To be honest, if Ning Ning is really determined to take this path, I'm afraid I can't stop her."

"After all, children grow up and always have their own ideas and choices."

"However, this is still a matter of the future. By that time, Ningning will have grown up and will naturally know the importance of this matter."

"Besides, even something as seemingly simple and ordinary as eating can sometimes involve certain risks, but we can't just forbid him from eating, right?"

Leng Zexi tried to comfort Xia Ruoan's anxious mood in this way.

"Besides, look at Ningning's physique, which will kill him if he is kept alive. We should not have too high expectations! Maybe he will not be able to follow your old path at all."

"Perhaps after a period of attempts and setbacks, when disappointment gradually accumulates, he will naturally choose to give up." Leng Zexi continued to analyze various possibilities.

However, Xia Ruoan disagreed with Ningning's view that she should give up easily: "In my opinion, it may not be that easy to get Ningning to give up on her own initiative."

"Perhaps as he gains more experience and faces more difficulties, he will become more determined to keep going."

Looking back on the past year, Ningning always failed every time she tried to tend to her vegetable garden.

But he always maintained an optimistic and positive attitude, always started sowing again with a smile, and looked forward to successfully growing fresh vegetables and fruits next time.

"But what you said before is not wrong. Fortunately, Ningning does not rely on farming to make a living, otherwise the situation would be really unimaginable!"

"If he doesn't find another way to make a living, I'm afraid even basic living expenses will become a big problem." Xia Ruoan said with a smile.

After hearing her words, Leng Zexi couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile on his face.

"Have you forgotten? He destroyed all the seeds that your teacher had carefully planted and the flowers that your senior brother had carefully nurtured. In the end, we had to help him clean up this mess."

Recalling those scenes, Leng Zexi couldn't help but shook his head, thinking secretly that he must find a way to let Ningning develop more interests and hobbies.

"We are still able to clean up these messes for him now, but what should we do in the future? He will eventually need the ability to deal with difficulties and solve problems on his own." Leng Zexi said worriedly.

"As I see it, all I can do now is to leave as much as possible for the three of them in the future."

"In this way, even if Ningning continues to follow this path to the end, at least she won't end up living off her savings."

"So I plan to focus on training Suisui as the heir to the family business, and Ningning will hold some of the company's shares. At least when faced with situations such as needing to compensate others for losses, the financial situation will not be too embarrassing."

At this point, Xia Ruo'an paused for a moment, then added: "I just don't know if Sui Sui is interested in this. Although it seems that he is quite interested in the financial field at the moment, who can predict the future?"

"We must not force him. It is better to let everything take its course."

Xia Ruoan frowned slightly and said slowly: "I think it's a bit too early for you to make such a conclusion now."

"After all, the children are still young and have a long way to go in the future! Being a parent is really not easy. Seeing how young they are now, we have to start worrying about their future life."

Xia Ruoan's gaze was always on the innocent little ones, his eyes full of love and pampering.

She then sighed, "In fact, in my heart, I always feel that they are still children who need to be cared for and taken care of. I just want to pamper them well and let them grow up without worries."

However, Leng Zexi on the side seemed quite calm and composed. He reached out and gently patted Xia Ruo'an's shoulder, comforting her and saying, "Don't worry, I will handle these things properly."

“No matter what path they choose to take in the future, I will give them my fullest and most unwavering support.”

At this point, Leng Zexi's expression became more serious: "Raising children is not as simple as just bringing them up. More often than not, we have to be a strong supporter when they climb up, and have the ability to provide a safety net for them when they face difficulties."

"As a father, this is my responsibility. Therefore, I will carefully arrange everything for my children and make sure they have a way out so that they can turn back at any time."

Hearing her husband's affectionate and unwavering words, Xia Ruo'an's heart warmed. She turned her head, gazed at Leng Zexi lovingly, and responded softly: "I will accompany you."

"The child is the fruit of our love, and we should share this responsibility. We cannot let you bear all the pressure alone."

Leng Zexi smiled and nodded, reached out and held Xia Ruoan's hand, and said softly: "It's enough to have you by my side."

"And just as your eldest brother said, love for the house extends to the dog. Because I love you so much, I naturally treasure our child as well."

When Leng Zexi said this, there was no hesitation or delay, as if this had already become an eternal belief in his heart.

As for Ningning's matter, in order not to make him feel uncomfortable, no one would talk about pain relief in front of him, as if things were back to the way they were before.

But the difference is that every Saturday, Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan would take him to the hospital for a physical examination.

"It's nothing. Ningning is very healthy and has no physical damage. You have taken good care of him. Just keep up the good work." Ouyang Lan looked at Leng Zexi and said.

Ningning saw the children playing ball on the lawn outside and became interested.

"Dad, I want to go downstairs and play ball." Ningning said, pulling Leng Zexi's pants.

Leng Zexi glanced at the child on the lawn and said, "Okay, I'll have someone bring the ball from the car to you. Don't try to steal other people's balls. You can play together, but you can't steal. Got it?"
