Five years ago, a conspiracy led to an unexpected pregnancy, a city-wide manhunt, and homelessness.
In despair, she fled to another country.
Five years later, she made a grand return wi...
Xia Yunxi thought so, but she was not sure whether Li Hanting had the same idea as her?
Would you not mind Mr. Li’s past?
After all, this concerns Li Jinchen!
Xia Yunxi was thinking about how to tell Li Hanting about this matter, while Li Hanting was thinking about a longer-term solution.
Li Jinchen's talent turned out to be numbers, and he was even taken to *** to participate in a competition and won first place.
This was undoubtedly surprising to Li Hanting. There were even some things...that even he, his father, had not noticed, but Xia Yunxi knew them.
Not only did she know, she also did it with her children.
Then Li Hanting remembered the words that Ms. He Meiqi often whispered in his ear: "No matter how well you treat Jinchen as a father, can you be as attentive as his mother? Jinchen still can't even speak properly because he doesn't have his mother by his side."
It is undeniable that these words are somewhat exaggerated complaints, but with the appearance of Xia Yunxi and the changes in Li Jinchen.
Li Hanting saw it clearly, he could no longer deny it, or even distort some facts to think that this woman had impure motives in approaching the child?
Factors with impure motives are based on the possibility of gaining profits.
And so far, Xia Yunxi has not received any unexpected wealth from him, or even from the child!
Putting these aside for now, what made Li Hanting even more angry was that in the entire imperial palace, with so many servants and teachers from prestigious schools... no one had discovered Li Jinchen's own talent.
"What's wrong?"
The man's eyes were always on her face. Xia Yunxi touched her cheek and asked anxiously.
"Nothing." Li Hanting said lightly, covering up everything that was surging in his heart.
"What were you about to say?"
Xia Yunxi was stunned and hesitated. Just as she was about to speak, someone knocked on the door again.
This time, Li Hanting did not respond directly in a good mood, but his face turned completely cold.
The butler knocked on the door three times. According to the master's usual habit, he could enter directly after saying hello.
The housekeeper was really surprised when he opened the door and saw Xia Yunxi sitting on the master's bed.
Perhaps his gaze was too direct, Xia Yunxi sensed it and stood up: "Well, I'll go back first."
"Stop." Li Hanting spoke directly and coldly, just a faint sentence.
But he usually displayed too much power, and Xia Yunxi was subconsciously afraid of him, so she actually stopped.
She thought he still had some questions about the conversation just now, but she didn't expect Li Hanting to signal the butler, "Where to put it? Back off."
By giving the order, he had already made his intention clear.
The butler did not dare to hesitate. He placed the bowl of porridge in his hand on the coffee table, then retreated respectfully.
He didn't dare show any emotion on his face, and pretended not to see what he saw. Although he was very happy to see this scene, he felt that what his wife had been looking forward to was finally going to come true.
If Madam knew that Master took the initiative to keep Miss Xia, and that the two of them were alone in a room... I believe Madam would be even happier.
Xia Yunxi had no idea what the housekeeper was thinking. She turned to look at Li Hanting, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Li Hanting's eyes fell on her face, his brows furrowed. "Have you applied it?"
"ah?"
When he reminded her, Xia Yunxi remembered that she was holding an egg wrapped in a hot towel in her hand.
"I, I'll go back to my room and do it myself."
Li Hanting stood up and picked up the porridge on the coffee table. He turned around and handed it to Xia Yunxi: "Drink it."
"I, I'm not hungry..." Xia Yunxi refused subconsciously, but when she met the man's calm eyes, she took it.
She felt a little panic in her heart, thinking that Mr. Li was too much today, too much... Xia Yunxi couldn't think of an adjective for a moment.
"I'll apply medicine to you after you drink it." Li Hanting said lightly, dispelling all of Xia Yunxi's concerns.
She quickly gulped down the soft, hot porridge without even savoring it. She put the bowl down and reached forward to pick up the medicine box. "I can handle it myself in my room."
Li Hanting was untying the tie around his neck when he heard her voice. He raised his eyebrows slightly and turned around, but he only saw the woman's fleeing back.
I even forgot to close the door.
Li Hanting raised his thin lips into a wicked smile, unbuttoned his clothes around his neck, and turned to go to the bathroom.
Xia Yunxi returned to her room, closed the door, and patted her chest before she felt alive again.
Although Li Hanting didn't say anything, the atmosphere just now made Xia Yunxi feel dangerous.
Very dangerous...
She wasn't even sure what would happen if she stayed any longer.
In fact, we are all adults. In the adult world, every move and every action can be traced.
Xia Yunxi lived here just for the sake of her two children. She didn't want to, and had never fantasized about getting anything... or having had anything with that man?
However, what happened tonight made her feel a deep sense of crisis.
She was only here to accompany the two children, she told herself. As for the rest... Xia Yunxi wanted to pack up and leave immediately.
She restrained herself rationally, knowing that for rich people, if the other party wanted to have fun, what was wrong?
But she can't afford to play this game. Not only can she not afford to play this game, she will not allow any stain to appear in her life.
Compared to other people who fell asleep peacefully, Xia Yunxi tossed and turned that night.
When she woke up the next day, she had dark eyes and thick bags under her eyes, which showed that she had not slept last night.
"Miss Xia, why didn't you sleep well last night?"
When I went downstairs, I met Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin saw her expression and asked in surprise.
"Good morning, Aunt Lin." Xia Yunxi asked politely and then walked towards the kitchen.
"What's going on?" Aunt Lin was still very concerned about her.
Xia Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, "Maybe it's because of too much work pressure, I didn't sleep well."
"Then I'll bring you a glass of milk tonight. I heard that milk is very effective in helping you sleep." Aunt Lin said.
"Okay, thank you Aunt Lin." Xia Yunxi agreed.
"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? There's no need to be so formal." Aunt Lin waved her hand, then noticed her movements and asked, "Miss Xia, what are you doing?"
"I'll make something for Jinchen and An'an, just a home-cooked breakfast. In the Imperial Palace, the chef prepares delicious food for them in various ways every day. I'm really worried that I'll spoil their taste buds and make them picky eaters." In fact, she also had another idea. Although she now lived in the Imperial Palace, she went out early and came back late, and she saw the children when they were asleep.
Xia Yunxi still felt very guilty and always felt that she owed something to her two children.
So when I can, I want to do something small for them.
