The two little guys were very noisy, chirping all the time and couldn't even eat peacefully.

However, while having breakfast, Xia Yuan pestered Xia Yunxi to ask a question.

These words were like a club that hit Xia Yunxi right in the center of her head, rudely waking her up.

"Mommy, when do you and Dad have time? My brother and I have never been taken out to play by Mom and Dad."

Looking at the little girl, who had obviously grown taller, and her clear eyes, and Li Jinchen, who turned around and looked at her when he heard this question.

Xia Yunxi felt very uncomfortable for a moment. Guilt and self-blame almost overwhelmed her.

She gave birth to the children, but she was clearly an incompetent mother when it came to their upbringing.

Not only did she not take their feelings into consideration, she even failed to give them the motherly and fatherly love that ordinary children should have on their path to growth.

She's really not fit to be a mother.

Xia Yunxi touched Xia Yuan's head and suddenly understood what she was hesitating about.

They both already had a child, and the man himself had feelings for her and was even pursuing her...

Then why is she still being so pretentious?

Her pretentiousness, in fact, is simply selfishness.

He only thought about himself and never thought about his two children.

In the beginning, Jinchen shut himself off in his own world because of his family's neglect. He put up high walls and refused to let anyone get close to him.

For a child, this is a form of self-protection.

It's okay when he's a child, he'll be independent when he grows up, but the shadow cast since childhood will accompany him throughout his life... He'll never be able to get rid of it, and it'll be difficult for him to recover on his own.

Xia Yunxi understood what she wanted, and the confusion on her face disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile and unconcealed doting on the two children.

"Chinese New Year is coming soon. When your dad's company has a holiday, he should have some free time, and then we can go out and have fun together as a family."

Li Jinchen's pretty little face immediately curved up with eyes to express her good mood.

Xia Yuan jumped up to celebrate the promise his mother made, because usually what his mother said would come true as long as it was not excessive.

Xia Yuan firmly believed this.

——

Sitting in the car, Li Hanting looked at her frequently.

Xia Yunxi was a little puzzled. She raised her hand and touched her cheek: "What's wrong?"

Is there dirt on her face?

"You seem very happy?" The man said in a light tone, but stated the fact.

Is there?

Xia Yunxi covered her face with her hands and said, "I'm not very happy either."

"Tell me, what's the good news?" Li Hanting asked patiently.

As the year draws to a close, various company reports come in, and to be honest, he doesn't have much time.

But, I had to attend this family dinner.

Therefore, in the limited time, even when sitting in the car, he would ask questions while looking at the information, without wasting any time at all.

"Hmm..." Xia Yunxi thought seriously for a moment, then turned back to look at his profile. "When do you have time? Today is already Little New Year's Day."

"What's wrong?" Li Hanting looked up in confusion.

"An An and Jin Chen have never been able to go out and play with their parents, so I thought, when you have time, please fulfill their wish."

Li Hanting closed the file and leaned back: "Is this what you wanted?"

"Of course." Xia Yunxi nodded. This request was not excessive and she felt that it could satisfy the needs of two children.

"Since that's what you want, I can consider it!" Li Hanting said with a serious look.

That look could melt everything.

But those extremely serious eyes could only accommodate one person, putting one person's ideas first and respecting everything about her.

Xia Yunxi admitted that she was seduced.

At that moment, my cheeks started burning again, and I couldn't control it. Even the heart in my chest was beating so fast.

In order to cover up her gaffe, she suddenly reached out and opened the car window.

A cold wind suddenly blew in, blowing away a lot of heat, and Xia Yunxi felt a little better.

Then, as if to disguise it, he added, "As you know, they can be quite noisy. I just thought that it would be best for a child's childhood to fulfill all their wishes and not leave them with any regrets."

Li Hanting nodded seriously.

The car slowly stopped. I looked up and realized that the car had arrived at the destination without me noticing.

The housekeeper and servant were waiting outside early in the morning. When the car stopped, they immediately came forward to open the door.

The housekeeper's respectful behavior was nothing like that of Old Man Li, who had a look of hatred and disgust on his face when he saw Li Hanting, as if he were a stranger.

After getting out of the car, Xia Yunxi politely said to the housekeeper, "Thank you."

It was just a simple sentence, but unexpectedly, it caused the middle-aged man who helped her open the car door to look up at her.

Then, a stiff smile appeared on that serious and cold face.

"cough--"

Li Hanting suddenly coughed, attracting Xia Yunxi's attention.

She walked over, and her eyes naturally fell on the huge building in front of her.

Because I was standing outside and couldn't see clearly inside, I could vaguely see that the design style inside was full of European garden style. It was very impressive. I didn't expect that in Jiangcheng, someone would build their residence like this.

But when he thought that this was the Li family, he felt relieved.

Only the Li family and the Li Group have such strong strength.

"Let's go." Li Hanting said lightly, and then he walked towards the gate with his long legs.

The enclosed area inside is very large, but the gardens are built at the back, so as soon as you enter the gate, you will see a magnificent villa.

There's no need to drive in.

Xia Yunxi followed Li Hanting's footsteps, entered the gate, and walked into the cobblestone courtyard. The more she walked, the more Xia Yunxi felt dazed, as if she was still abroad.

I never came back at all, as if the experiences of the past few months were just a dream.

It's a very strange feeling, but it really passes through my heart.

Until he stood in the hall, the butler behind him respectfully reported: "The master and the second young master are in the study upstairs."

Li Hanting raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can he walk upstairs?"

This question is obviously directed at the old man.

Xia Yunxi thought of the few times she had seen Mr. Li, and he seemed to be using a cane both times.

"You can go upstairs slowly," said the housekeeper.

"Heh." Li Hanting sneered. She was quite good at pretending in front of him.
