Chapter 243
The greenhouse in the backyard is shining with colorful lights.
Xia Ruoan walked quietly into this place full of vitality and fragrance, and her eyes were attracted by the gorgeous roses that she had carefully cultivated.
These roses are the result of her spending a lot of effort and time to make them bloom in such a beautiful posture.
She still remembered the promise she made to someone when she left - when she came back, she would receive a bouquet of roses hand-delivered by him.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but feel a little expectant, but at the same time a little uneasy.
Because the person who agreed to send flowers was Qiao Xin, and she was really unsure whether she could trust Qiao Xin again.
On the other side, Leng Zexi, with a serious expression, gently placed Ningning into a container filled with special potion and soaked her.
He raised his head, looked at Mu Shen with complicated eyes, and said slowly: "The way you said it just now really made Ruo An feel torn."
Mu Shen frowned slightly and responded: "I know that doing this may put Ruoan in trouble, but I think what happened at night should serve as a timely reminder to her."
He paused, then added: "And, to be honest, I really don't want Ruoan to continue to have too much contact with Qiao Xin."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi was silent for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Although I have never been in love, I know that love cannot be obtained by force, charity or pestering."
"Not only do we know about Qiao Xin's inappropriate behavior, but others also dislike it." After saying that, the two looked at each other, as if they saw deep concern for Xia Ruoan in each other's eyes.
Leng Zexi nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Indeed, Ruo'an knows very well in her heart that the reason why she still has feelings for Qiao Xin is because Qiao Xin helped her in the past."
"If Qiao Xin can easily put the past behind her, she will no longer be the Ruoan we know." After a pause, he continued his analysis, "Moreover, Ruoan knows what can be done and what cannot be done."
"Especially when it comes to relationships, she has always been wise and would never intervene rashly. Now that Qiao Xin and Zhao Han's relationship has reached a deadlock, it is even more impossible for Ruo An to act as a lobbyist between the two and try to reconcile the conflict."
Leng Zexi was absolutely sure about this.
After all, Xia Ruoan has always had a correct outlook on life, and his way of dealing with people is trusted by many people.
Then, Leng Zexi looked at Mu Shen firmly and promised solemnly: "As for your concern that Ruo'an might be hurt, you can relax about that."
"I will never let Ruoan get hurt, not even a little bit!" His words revealed his unquestionable determination.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Shen felt that what Leng Zexi said made sense.
With Leng Zexi protecting Ruoan so wholeheartedly, it seems that he does not need to worry too much about Ruoan's personal safety.
Then, he changed the subject and mentioned another thing: "I heard from Xiao Jin that you even arranged bodyguards for Ruoan and others?"
As he spoke, he looked at Leng Zexi with curiosity on his face, and asked, "Isn't Ruo An angry about this? Or... does she know about this?"
Leng Zexi nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Indeed, if An knew about the bodyguards and took Suisui and the other three kids out together, both I and she would feel more at ease. After all, in this way, the safety of the children can be better guaranteed."
Then, he added calmly, "And the presence of these bodyguards is just a protective measure for Ruoan, and it is definitely not a so-called surveillance behavior."
"Moreover, these bodyguards usually only start following you after you go out, and Ruoan rarely steps out of the house on weekdays." At this point, Leng Zexi couldn't help but pause, as if he was recalling something.
Then he continued, “In fact, I don’t know how other people will feel about this, but personally, I know it very clearly in my heart—Ruo An has no aversion to this matter at all.
It is precisely because of this that I can feel a little relieved. Otherwise, I am afraid I will never be able to feel truly at ease! "
Hearing this, Mu Shen thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Then, he turned his gaze to Leng Zexi and asked, "So how should we arrange for these three children? You know, Ruoan will have to return to school to continue his studies in about a month."
"How about sending them to your parents? Or let my parents come over. My parents mentioned before that if you need them, they are willing to go through the retirement procedures in advance and come over to help us take care of the children."
"They are still a little hesitant about hiring a nanny."
After hearing this, Leng Zexi showed some doubt on his face.
Seeing this, Mu Shen hurriedly explained: "The reason why I am so worried is mainly because Ruoan was hurt by the nanny when he was a child."
"It must have been that unpleasant experience that cast a shadow on her young mind, causing her to feel uneasy when someone other than her own family was taking care of her."
"What's going on?" Leng Zexi was shocked when he heard the news. He was completely unaware of this matter.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law were very satisfied with his decision to take care of the child personally!
"You should know that my parents are both teachers, and there are no elders on either side to help take care of the children."
"But the situation was special at the time. Zishu and I both had to go to school to work and we couldn't spare the time, so we had no choice but to consider hiring a nanny to take care of Ruoan."
"We found this nanny through many people's introductions. She seemed pretty good at first and performed well in all aspects. Who could have thought that she would give Ruoan sleeping pills later." Mu Shen's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was still frightened by the memory of that scene.
"Luckily, Dad had something urgent to do and forgot to take the lesson plan. He returned home halfway and happened to see this scene. Otherwise, I can't imagine how serious the consequences would be! Since then, my parents were worried about a similar situation happening again, so they simply took Ruoan to school to take care of him."
After hearing this, Leng Zexi felt a chill on his back.
Originally, he was planning to agree to Ruoan's suggestion to hire a nanny, and even thought about dispatching two nannies from the old house to help take care of the children, but now this idea disappeared in an instant.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head, stared at the other person fiercely, and asked, "So what happened to that person later?"
"Call the police immediately! After interrogation by the police, the man finally admitted to the crime."
"It turns out that she had treated other employers' children so badly before."
"One of the little girls was even more unfortunate. She suffered from congenital heart disease and was already weak. Not long after the little girl fell asleep that day, her family returned home."
"What is heartbreaking is that when the family found her, the little girl had already stopped breathing in her mother's warm arms..." Because of this, no one initially suspected that all this had any connection with the nanny.
At this time, Leng Zexi's face became extremely gloomy after hearing the news. He slowly turned his head and looked at the three children who were soaking in the medicinal bath.
I saw the children lying quietly in the wooden basin, their little faces red from the steam.
Leng Zexi loves and hates these three children, but after all, they are his and Ruoan's children, so naturally he loves them as much as possible.
"I'll call my parents first to ask about the situation. If they can't spare the time to take care of the children, I'll take the children to the company when the time comes."
His office had already made preparations in advance by further expanding the original rest area and building a special children's play area.
In this way, even if they are busy at work, children can still play there to their heart's content and will not feel bored or lonely.
"Okay." Mu Shen felt more at ease when he saw that Leng Zexi attached so much importance to this matter.
He looked down at the watch on his wrist and said, "According to the current progress, they will be done in about twenty minutes."
"When the time comes, you can take the children out of the medicinal bath and rinse them carefully with clean water. In the following days, after each meal, remember to add an appropriate amount of water and boil a packet of medicine."
"I specially went to get a full half-month supply of medicine. I'll send it to you in a few days. By the way, come and see the lovely children and Ruoan."
As Mu Shen spoke, he hurriedly packed his things, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to leave. After all, he had an important meeting waiting for him to attend in the evening.
Leng Zexi knew that Mu Shen was busy with work, so he didn't try to keep him.
He turned to the little ones who were having fun and called softly, "Sui Sui, Nian Nian, Ning Ning, come and say goodbye to your uncle, he has to go back in a hurry!"
Hearing their father's call, the three little ones immediately stopped what they were doing, stood up from the big wooden basin, and then crawled to the edge of the basin together.
"Uncle, when can you come again?" The children blinked their big eyes and looked at Mu Shen with anticipation.
Seeing this, Mu Shen quickly squatted down, stretched out his hands and gently stroked their little heads, and replied with a smile: "My dears, be good. Uncle will come to visit you once every two weeks from now on, okay?"
"But you have to be obedient, especially listen to your parents, and especially don't make your mother angry, otherwise your uncle will punish you. Do you remember?"
There was both doting and a hint of threat in Mu Shen's tone.
