Chapter 384
"Snap!" A crisp sound suddenly rang out, breaking the original quiet atmosphere in the living room.
The father and his two sons, who were carefully checking the gifts that had just been delivered in the living room, were instantly startled back to their senses by the sudden noise.
Leng Zexi didn't even have time to think about it. He stood up quickly as if by reflex and walked quickly towards the restaurant where the sound came from.
When he stepped into the restaurant, the scene before him made his heart tighten suddenly.
There were cold glass fragments all over the ground, and Xia Ruoan stood there blankly, his body soaked by the spilled milk, and his feet were surrounded by sharp and dangerous fragments.
Leng Zexi was extremely anxious and shouted loudly: "Don't move!"
Hearing his anxious cry, Xia Ruoan, who was about to leave, paused, but finally stopped and obeyed his words.
Leng Zexi didn't dare to delay for a moment. He quickly ran to Xia Ruoan, then bent down carefully and picked her up.
At this time, the three children also ran over closely behind her. They looked worriedly at Xia Ruo'an and asked with concern, "Mom, are you okay?"
Leng Zexi hugged Xia Ruo'an tightly in his arms, looking her up and down, and said with concern: "Why didn't you tell me when you got the milk? I could have helped you get it. Are you hurt anywhere?"
Xia Ruoan shook her head gently, looked up at Leng Zexi who looked nervous, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and replied softly: "No, I'm sorry, I thought I could do it."
"I'm glad you're not hurt. There's nothing to be sorry about. I'll clean up the place and take you upstairs to take a shower." Leng Zexi comforted Ruoan gently, his eyes full of concern and worry.
"Yeah, Mom, it's okay. We'll just clean it up soon. Don't be afraid." Sui Sui echoed in a baby voice like a little adult.
At this time, Ningning on the side also quickly spoke up: "Broken, broken, safe. Dad also said this to me when I accidentally broke something before, so mom will definitely be safe."
After saying that, he blinked his big watery eyes and looked at everyone seriously.
"Yes, that's right, Ningning is absolutely right! Mom will be safe and sound every year." Leng Zexi touched Ningning's hair, then turned to Ruoan and said softly: "Ruoan, wait here for a while."
Then, he put Xia Ruoan sitting on the sofa, and then carefully cleaned up the glass fragments scattered on the ground.
In a short while, he had collected all the glass fragments into a bag, packed it up and put it aside.
After dealing with these, Leng Zexi stood up, looked at Sui Sui, Nian Nian and Ning Ning, and said gently, "Sui Sui, Nian Nian, and Ning Ning, take a look at the gifts you are going to give first. If there is no problem, go back to your room and sleep, okay?"
"Dad is going to take Mom upstairs to tidy up a bit." Hearing this, Sui Sui nodded obediently and replied sweetly, "Okay."
The three children watched their father carefully carry their mother upstairs. They did not run up to join in the fun as usual, but sensibly found a rag and began to wipe the floor carefully.
"Ningning, go get another bucket of clean water." Suisui turned to Ningning while wringing the rag in his hand hard.
"Okay!" Ningning responded readily, then gently put down the rag in her hand, picked up the small and exquisite bucket beside her, and walked towards the bathroom with light steps.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the room upstairs was somewhat subtle.
Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruo'an with concern and asked softly, "Do you want to take a shower right away? Except for the wound on your head, which cannot get wet, the other minor wounds have basically healed."
Xia Ruoan nodded slightly, with a hint of desire in his eyes, and responded softly: "Well, I want to take a good bath and relax."
"I can do it myself." Xia Ruoan looked at him and said.
Leng Zexi frowned, still a little worried, and continued to ask: "But... can you really do it? How about I help you."
As he said this, he pretended to go forward to help.
Xia Ruoan quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, I can do it myself, don't worry."
After saying that, he gave Leng Zexi a firm smile, indicating that he was completely fine.
Seeing Xia Ruoan's insistence, Leng Zexi nodded helplessly and gently said, "Okay, then you must be careful. If anything happens, remember to call me immediately."
Then he turned and walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet quickly, and prepared bath water for Xia Ruoan.
Before long, a full bathtub of warm and comfortable water was ready.
Leng Zexi stood up and walked out: "Ruoan, the water is ready, I'll carry you in."
When he put the man down, Xia Ruoan stared at him with a slightly blushing face.
Leng Zexi understood her thoughts instantly and said teasingly with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you reluctant to let me go?"
Xia Ruo'an glared at him coquettishly and said unhappily, "Who can't bear to leave you! Please get out quickly, I need to take a shower."
Leng Zexi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, deliberately slowed down his pace, and walked slowly towards the door.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Am I really leaving now?"
"Okay, I won't go out. I have to watch from the side, otherwise I will never feel at ease." Leng Zexi leaned lazily against the wall, but his eyes were fixed on her, and he spoke slowly.
When Xia Ruoan heard this, he suddenly grabbed the clothes with his hands that were about to take off his clothes, and just stood there.
His face was full of confusion and hesitation, and he had no idea whether he should continue to take off his clothes at this moment.
Leng Zexi saw her reaction clearly, especially when he noticed her gradually flushed cheeks, he couldn't help but find it a little funny, so he deliberately teased: "I have already checked the places that need to be checked. I have been taking care of you in the hospital for the past two days."
"Then...how can they be the same!" Xia Ruo'an's face flushed as he stuttered, "I couldn't even stand steadily at the time, and my whole body was covered with wounds. At most, I just wiped them off."
However, facing Xia Ruoan's explanation, Leng Zexi was not moved at all, and responded calmly: "Ruoan, now there are only two choices in front of you. Either let me watch quietly here, or let me wash it for you myself. It's up to you to decide which one to choose."
"Is there no third option?" Xia Ruoan asked expectantly.
Leng Zexi nodded slightly, and replied seriously: "Of course, if you really don't want the first two options, then we can wash together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ruoan felt the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
"If you keep dawdling like this, the water will become completely cold!" Leng Zexi frowned slightly, turned his gaze to her, and reminded her gently.
When Xia Ruoan heard this, she rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, but she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she could only turn around slowly.
Seeing this, Leng Zexi shook his head helplessly, walked to her side, and carefully carried her into the bathtub.
After making sure that she was okay, Leng Zexi picked up the mobile phone beside him, skillfully opened the screen, and called up the surveillance footage of the children's room.
However, to his surprise, there were no children on the screen.
He couldn't help but feel puzzled, and his finger slid quickly, switching the screen to the living room downstairs.
Upon seeing this, Leng Zexi's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up slightly, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
At this moment in the living room, his three little ones were working together to wipe the floor.
I saw Sui Sui mopping the floor diligently with a mop. Although Nian Nian and Ning Ning's movements were a little clumsy, they were also trying hard to wipe the surrounding areas with rags.
Seeing this scene, Leng Zexi's heart was filled with emotion.
Time flies like an arrow, it seems like just yesterday these little ones were still young children who needed adults' careful care and constant companionship.
Now, they have grown up and become sensible, and know how to take the initiative to help share the housework.
Just as Leng Zexi was immersed in this joy, Xia Ruoan's gentle voice suddenly came to his ears: "What are you standing there laughing at?"
Hearing this, Leng Zexi came back to his senses, looked down at Xia Ruoan, his eyes flashing with tenderness and joy.
"Of course I am happy! Our three lovely little babies are becoming more and more sensible now. They even know how to help with housework."
As Leng Zexi spoke, he squatted down, reached out and gently rubbed Xia Ruoan's hair.
Then, he turned to look at Xia Ruo'an and added with a smile: "They also cleaned up all the milk that you accidentally spilled on the ground just now."
After saying that, he once again turned his gaze to the three busy little figures in the living room, his eyes full of pride and kindness.
"Three years old! When you use the word 'sensible' to describe them, I can't help but feel a deep sense of guilt in my heart."
Xia Ruoan reflected on whether he had been negligent and derelict in his duty in their growth, which caused them to grow up and mature so suddenly.
This kind of self-blame followed him like a shadow, making Xia Ruoan feel extremely heavy.
However, at this moment, I heard your gentle but firm voice: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, dear, you have done very well."
Leng Zexi gently put down the phone in his hand, held Xia Ruoan's face in his hands, his eyes affectionate and full of understanding.
Hearing your comforting words, Xia Ruoan felt a little relieved, but the guilt still lingered in his heart.
