Chapter 258
The early morning sun shone through the window onto the dining table, and the group had a sumptuous breakfast with this warm family of three.
Everyone was enjoying the food and chatting happily, and laughter filled the whole room.
After breakfast, the guests stood up to help clear the table and say goodbye to the host.
They knew very well that they should not disturb this happy little family too much, so they smiled and waved goodbye.
Leng Zexi did not disappoint Xia Ruoan. Every scenic spot in his carefully planned itinerary was as beautiful as a fairyland.
Along the way, they enjoyed the magnificent scenery of nature and felt the breeze caressing their faces.
On the way, Leng Zexi did not forget to record these beautiful moments with his mobile phone and shared the photos on WeChat Moments.
After seeing Leng Zexi's circle of friends, Sui Sui Niannian immediately called to complain: "Dad, you are too partial! Why don't you take us to find mom?"
Faced with the children's anger, Leng Zexi quickly coaxed them patiently and said that he would fulfill one wish for each of them as compensation.
Hearing this, Sui Sui Nian Nian's emotions finally calmed down, while Xia Ruo'an stood aside, watching Leng Zexi comfort the children with a smile.
Ningning was very happy at this time because he was the only son accompanying his parents on this trip.
Normally, the three brothers always travel together, but today is a special time for him and his parents.
What made him even happier was that in the past, when sitting on his father's shoulders, several children would take turns, but today, he could sit there steadily and enjoy this unique pampering.
Happy times are always short-lived, and in the blink of an eye it is time to head to the mountains.
Leng Zexi and Ning Ning stood at the door, watching Xia Ruoan and others get into the car and slowly drive away.
Next, the father and son had to hurry back to their home.
Ningning watched her mother walking away, and the petite figure gradually disappeared from her sight.
The tears he had been holding back finally burst out like a flood, sliding down his cheeks.
"Dad, I miss mom so much..." Ningning hugged Leng Zexi's neck tightly and said in a crying voice.
Leng Zexi felt a burst of warmth and wetness on his neck. He gently patted Ningning's back and comforted her softly, "Don't be sad, baby. Your mother will be back in half a month."
"Ningning was really brave just now. She didn't cry for such a long time." Leng Zexi continued to gently coax the sobbing little person in his arms.
"Then let's go home now. How about Dad ask someone to build a pool for us at home tomorrow?" Leng Zexi suggested cautiously.
"Okay! But Dad, can you get someone to build two pools for our house? I just want a small one because I'm afraid I might accidentally knock over Mom's pool. What if the animals in it get killed..."
Ningning couldn't help feeling a little guilty when she recalled how she had carelessly caused her mother's beloved flowers and plants to wither.
Leng Zexi nodded and agreed: "No problem, Dad will make you a small pool of your own."
In fact, he thought so in his heart. After all, his son's situation was indeed special.
"By the way, Ningning, how about you consider changing your hobbies? For example, singing, dancing, or learning painting like Niannian."
"If you want, you can also learn economics like your father. When you grow up, you can help manage the company like Suisui." Leng Zexi tried to guide his son to try something new.
However, Ning Ning shook her head without hesitation and answered firmly: "No, I still like growing plants the most."
"Those financial videos are so boring! I feel so sleepy every time I listen to them. They are like lullabies."
"And it's so frustrating that no one can understand what I draw! I really don't like this at all."
Ningning complained with a frown and waved her little hands, her face full of dissatisfaction and frustration.
Then, he said indignantly: "I clearly drew a cute little rabbit with all my heart, but every year they say it doesn't look like it at all!" At this point, Ningning got so angry that her face turned red and her mouth was raised in the air.
"I decided to learn how to grow vegetables like my mom! When I grow lots of fresh and delicious vegetables, my mom will definitely like me very much."
After saying this, he raised his chin proudly, as if he had already seen himself becoming his mother's most beloved child.
At this moment, Leng Zexi on the side couldn't help but retort: "You wishful thinking, even if you learn how to grow vegetables, you can only rank second at best in my mother's heart."
"Because I am her husband, of course I am the person she loves the most!" As he said this, Leng Zexi deliberately raised his eyebrows, revealing a confident expression.
However, Ning Ning did not show any weakness and argued with her neck stiff, "I don't believe it! I am my mother's little son. How can a mother not love her own son?"
"Besides, you can change your husband, but your son will always be your own, and no one can change that!"
Leng Zexi was so angry at Ning Ning's words that he laughed. After laughing enough, he pretended to threaten: "In this case, I might as well adopt you to your uncle Ouyang."
"He just happens to be lacking an heir, and I have two other sons in my family, so losing you won't be a big deal."
Ning Ning was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and quickly hugged Leng Zexi's thighs tightly, "No, Daddy, there is only my real daddy in the world, I absolutely can't leave you!"
"As for me, it'll be enough as long as mom likes me second, because you must be the first!" Ningning blinked her big watery eyes, looked at him seriously, raised her little hand as if to swear, and promised solemnly.
Leng Zexi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a doting smile. He reached out and picked up the little person, then easily and comfortably held her petite body firmly with one hand, while the other hand tightly held the suitcase beside him.
"Hmph, little guy, do you think I can't cure you this time?" Leng Zexi laughed softly, his eyes full of love for his son.
Ningning was held in her father's arms at this time, like a well-behaved and cute kitten. She swung her legs and tilted her head to ask curiously, "Dad, do you love me more, or do you love my brothers more?"
Just then, sitting next to them was a couple, also with their two sons.
After hearing Ningning's question, the couple seemed to be accustomed to this scene. After all, such questions happened almost every day in their home.
However, when their eyes inadvertently fell on Leng Zexi and Ningning, they could not help but be attracted by the outstanding appearance and unique temperament of the father and daughter, and secretly sighed in their hearts that these two people must be extraordinary.
It turned out that the place where they were had developed into a well-known tourist destination, with tourists from all over the world coming in an endless stream. Leng Zexi and Ning Ning boarded the bus from a hotel in the county.
Seeing this, the younger boy sitting next to him asked his parents, "Mom and Dad, do you love your brother more, or me?"
Faced with this question, the little boy's parents answered without hesitation: "Of course we love you. We love you the most. Even if we are your older brother, we have to give in to you in everything!"
After hearing the reply, the little boy suddenly raised his foot and kicked his brother hard, then a smug expression appeared on his face and he looked at Ningning provocatively.
Ningning witnessed this scene and couldn't help feeling very surprised.
He stared at the little boy with wide eyes, finding that he treated his brother so presumptuously. However, what surprised him even more was that the little boy's parents had no reaction at all, and did not even say a word of blame.
Ningning was surprised and turned to look at her father involuntarily, as if hoping to get some explanation or support from her father.
At this time, Leng Zexi, who had been watching all this silently, noticed Ningning's uneasiness and confusion.
He gently reached out his hand, carefully picked up Ningning, and placed her on the seat inside, as if he wanted to give her a safe and comfortable space.
After settling Ningning down, Leng Zexi looked at his youngest son with a gentle but serious look, and asked softly, "So, is your left hand more important to you, or is your right hand more important?"
Ning Ning was a little overwhelmed by this question. He looked down at his hands and hesitated for a while before answering: "Well... they seem to be equally important."
Leng Zexi nodded slightly and continued, "In this case, you should understand that every child is equally precious and irreplaceable to their parents."
"You and Sui Sui Nian Nian are just like my left and right hands. You are equally important. I don't want to lose either of you, so stop asking such stupid questions."
After saying this, he smiled helplessly, because he knew very well that this kind of behavior of competing for favor was really a headache, but fortunately there were three children in the family, and he had always tried to treat them equally and impartially.
At this moment, Ningning blinked her big watery eyes and asked curiously, "If Sui Sui Niannian and I accidentally fell into the water together, who would you save first?"
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Your father must have saved you. It's normal for brothers to compete for affection, and the older ones should give in to the younger ones. If your youngest son asks this, just say that you love him the most and will give in to him in everything."
The little boy's father looked at Leng Zexi and smiled.
