Chapter 389
Mother Wen at the side could not help but look surprised and interrupted to ask, "Isn't it the nanny who is responsible for taking care of him? Things like our Wen Yi's washing and brushing are all left to the nanny to take care of."
She really couldn't imagine that a successful man could have so much time and energy to take care of children.
However, Xia Ruo'an shook his head and answered frankly: "No, our family has never hired a nanny, not even a maid."
"Only when there is a need for cleaning will we ask the old house to send someone over to help tidy up and clean."
When these words were spoken, not only was Mother Wen shocked, but even the other ladies around were dumbfounded and looked incredulous after hearing them.
After all, most of them are full-time housewives, and taking care of the household and children all day has become a normal part of their lives.
When it comes to children's affairs, she either takes care of them herself or supervises the servants to handle them properly.
And expecting your husband to take over all matters concerning the child is simply a fantasy!
At this moment, a person came closer with a curious look on his face, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and asked softly, "Mrs. Leng, what secret have you mastered that can make Mr. Leng so devoted to you and the children!"
As soon as the voice fell, another person's voice sounded: "That's right, Madam Leng, would you mind sharing some of your experience? We are so envious."
Faced with everyone's sudden questions, Xia Ruoan was stunned for a moment. Does this kind of thing require any special experience?
After thinking for a moment, she smiled awkwardly and replied, "I don't really have any special experience."
"It's mainly because he really likes children. When he gets home from get off work, he goes into the kitchen and starts cooking. After finishing the housework, he plays with the children."
When Xia Ruoan said this, everyone present was extremely surprised.
One of the ladies couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, it seems that the old saying is right, when looking for a partner, you have to look for someone who is essentially good."
"I guess it's because Mr. Leng loves you so much that he loves the children so much. It's simply that he loves you so much that he loves your children too."
After the party, Xia Ruoan and Leng Zexi returned home together.
Xia Ruoan couldn't wait to pull Leng Zexi to sit on the sofa, and told him to call his third brother immediately to ask about the situation between him and Minghui.
Leng Zexi dialed the phone as instructed, and soon the familiar voice of his third brother came from the other end.
When asked if he was really pursuing Minghui, Lin Cai answered affirmatively without hesitation: "Yes, it's true. I am trying hard to pursue her!"
Xia Ruoan was slightly surprised. According to common sense, he should have denied it outright.
However, what she never expected was that Lin Cai nodded and acknowledged this fact without hesitation.
"No way, weren't you not very interested in her before? Why did you suddenly..." Xia Ruoan paused and continued to ask, "Did something special happen to make you change your mind?"
Lin Cai scratched his head shyly, touched his nose, and said slowly: "Actually, there's nothing special. I just ran into her by chance one time. She was completely without any makeup at the time, but at that moment I was attracted by her fresh and natural beauty, and then I fell in love with her unconsciously."
"But you must not tell my brother about this. I haven't caught up with him yet."
After saying this, Lin Cai's gaze unconsciously turned to the figure who was working attentively in the ceramic shop - Minghui.
Xia Ruo'an felt a little amused when listening to Lin Cai's words. He couldn't help but confirm again with doubt: "Are you sure you are serious this time? This is not just a whim for fun."
Lin Cai nodded seriously, indicating that he was absolutely sincere.
His eyes always stayed on Minghui, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were full of tenderness and love.
Seeing Lin Cai's firm attitude, Xia Ruo'an was happy for him and smiled and wished him well: "Well, since you are so serious, I wish you can get your beauty soon."
"I hope that next time we meet, you will have successfully brought my future sister-in-law to us."
Hearing this, Lin Cai nodded heavily, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Well, in order to achieve this goal, I have to work harder. Otherwise, I don't know when I will have the chance to meet you."
After chatting with Lin Cai, Xia Ruoan went to find Leng Zexi happily, and couldn't wait to tell him the good news.
After finding Leng Zexi, Xia Ruoan asked excitedly: "Zexi, do you know? Third brother is really pursuing Minghui. Do you think this is okay?"
"If he can catch her, then yes." Leng Zexi said with a smile, his eyes revealing expectation and joy that these two people can achieve a happy ending.
He knew very well that although Minghui was keen on various exciting projects, she was very straightforward and unpretentious. She was undoubtedly a good girl worth cherishing.
Lin Cai was not only his brother-in-law, but also a close brother. They knew each other's personalities very well.
However, when Leng Zexi turned his head and looked at Xia Ruo'an beside him, his tone became slightly serious: "However, it may not be easy for Lin Cai to successfully pursue Minghui."
He shook his head slightly and continued to explain, "Although Minghui appears to be straightforward and generous on the surface, she is actually extremely sensitive and delicate.
It is not easy to really enter her inner world. "
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Why do you say that?" Obviously, she was quite surprised by Leng Zexi's comment.
Leng Zexi took a deep breath and slowly explained the reason: "Minghui's parents were deeply influenced by my uncle's ideas, and the idea of favoring boys over girls is deeply rooted."
"In their eyes, all family resources should be given priority to their son. Even the cost of Minghui's college education and later studying abroad was often complained about by them."
"Even worse, they even said bluntly that if Zehui hadn't agreed, they would never let Minghui continue to study abroad, but would have married her off early and gained benefits through the marriage."
"She came back this time to seek my help. It turned out that she wanted to get away from that family completely, so she gave all the money she had worked so hard to earn over the years to her parents, claiming that it was to repay them and that they no longer owed each other anything."
Leng Zexi frowned slightly, looking into the distance, as if lost in memories, and then slowly said:
"And now, she is begging me to rent a shop to her, and she wants me to pay on credit first." After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.
"To be honest, it is very difficult to truly enter her inner world. After all, in her inherent concept, even her own family is so unreliable, so how can we expect her to believe that an outsider who has no blood relationship with her will truly care for her?"
"So, it's not surprising that she has such thoughts." Leng Zexi seemed to see this very clearly.
At this time, Xia Ruo'an, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Really? Thinking about what she has been through, it really makes me feel very distressed. I just hope that you, Third Brother, can treat her well."
After saying that, Xia Ruoan sighed softly, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"It all depends on fate between them. If they are really destined to be together, they will naturally come together, so you don't have to worry about it at all." Leng Zexi comforted Xia Ruoan in a gentle tone.
Xia Ruoan's heart moved, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed the case.
Originally, she was considering whether to lend a helping hand, but now she thought it would be better for her not to interfere too much in the matter.
After all, this would provide the third brother with a perfect opportunity to perform.
"By the way, do you have any specific plans for tomorrow? Sui Sui said she wants to go fishing with Dad."
"Niannian plans to visit the art exhibition with his second brother. As for Ningning, he has to go to the academy, and Senior Brother Tang will come to pick him up in person."
Leng Zexi was looking through the messages on his phone while turning to Xia Ruoan and telling him the details.
Xia Ruoan shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no special plans.
In fact, given her current situation, it is really difficult for her to do anything.
"Why don't you just take a good rest at home?" Leng Zexi suggested.
"Yeah, that's fine." Xia Ruoan nodded slightly in agreement.
"It's just right for us to enjoy some time just for the two of us, and we don't have to worry about taking care of the children anymore." Leng Zexi nodded with a smile on his face.
"But then again, when Ningning goes to the academy tomorrow, there will probably be one more person who is afraid of him." Xia Ruoan thought of Ningning's usual quirky and mischievous appearance, and shook his head helplessly.
"Oh? What do you mean?" After hearing this, Leng Zexi lowered his head and looked at Xia Ruoan curiously and asked.
"Senior Brother Tang wanted the project that the teacher had, and agreed to take Ningning with him to plant it. But when I went to see it tomorrow, I was sure that even the buds wouldn't sprout." Xia Ruoan said affirmatively.
Leng Zexi also chuckled after hearing this, "Brother Tang, haven't you seen Ning Ning's unlucky physique before?"
"It's not like I haven't seen it before, but I just came back from college and I don't believe it." Xia Ruoan didn't know what to say to them.
