Chapter 388
"It's enough to take care of you three. Absolutely not!" Leng Zexi refused without even thinking.
Ning Ning heard this and said quickly: "Dad, I can help take care of my brother and sister."
After hearing this, Leng Zexi lowered his head and looked at him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a hint of joking: "If you really want to take care of people so much, then go find your uncles."
"Use them to get married and have children as soon as possible. That way, you can become a big brother and have younger brothers and sisters to take care of you." After saying that, he did not forget to gently pat Ningning's little head.
"Being pregnant is very hard, and I can't bear to let my mother go through that kind of hardship again." Leng Zexi looked at Ningning earnestly and explained.
When Ning Ning heard this, her expectant face instantly fell, but she quickly cheered up again, nodded and said, "Okay, in this case, I'd better go and urge my third uncle to work harder!"
Then he sighed helplessly.
Seeing this, Leng Zexi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Why did you choose your third uncle? Why didn't you urge your eldest uncle first?"
Faced with this question, Ning Ning shook her head like a little adult, then looked at Leng Zexi with disdain and replied, "Dad, do you even need to ask this? My eldest uncle doesn't even have a girlfriend, and my third uncle has someone he likes, so of course I have to urge my third uncle to get married first."
After hearing this, Leng Zexi did not get angry because of the other party's straightforward expression. Instead, he turned to look at the speaker with a puzzled look and asked, "How do you know that your third uncle already has someone he likes?"
Xia Ruoan, who was standing aside, also looked surprised. She actually knew nothing about this!
When did the third brother find someone he loved? When did it happen?
Ningning scratched her hair and answered innocently, "My third uncle told me this himself. He is trying hard to pursue Aunt Minghui. Don't you know about this?"
Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan looked at each other. They were indeed unaware of this and couldn't help but feel very surprised.
Recalling the scene when the third brother and Minghui first met, it seemed that they did not get along very well with each other.
Moreover, Xia Ruoan heard her third brother mention it afterwards, which showed that Aunt Hui was simply a crazy woman who didn't care about her life.
But how come they suddenly fell in love with each other? Could it be that they are really a pair of happy enemies?
But it is not convenient to ask my third brother the reason in person right now. It seems that I can only wait for a suitable opportunity in the future to find out the truth.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already afternoon. Seeing that everyone was about to leave, everyone began to prepare to cut the exquisite big cake.
The adults only took a small sip symbolically, after all, this kind of dessert is relatively less attractive to adults.
However, many children have a special liking for this delicious cake and enjoy eating it with great pleasure.
Just then, Wen Yi noticed that Ningning said she wanted to eat some more after eating one piece. Without saying a word, he walked straight to the table and wanted to take the whole plate of cake down and hand it to Ningning.
However, the cake was too large and heavy, and Wen Yi was still young and had limited strength, so he was unable to lift it steadily.
As a result, the whole cake slipped out of his hands accidentally and fell heavily to the ground with a bang.
Suddenly, everyone heard a strange noise and turned around subconsciously to see what was going on.
When their eyes fell on the scene before them, everyone was stunned.
I saw that the exquisite cake that was originally placed on the table was now lying quietly on the ground, as if it had suffered a sudden disaster.
Wen Yi, who was standing aside, was staring at the cake on the ground with wide eyes, which had become somewhat horrible.
He blinked a few times, and then his eyes began to turn red and tears welled up in his eyes. He looked like he was about to burst into tears in the next second.
Father Wen's heart tightened when he saw this. He hurriedly walked forward, hugged Wen Yi tightly in his arms, and asked with concern: "Son, are you hurt anywhere? Let daddy take a look!"
At the same time, Leng Zexi also hurried over here. He carefully picked up Ningning from the ground and looked him up and down carefully, fearing that he might be injured in any way.
After confirming that Ning Ning was safe and sound, Leng Zexi breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "If you want to eat cake, you can tell the adults and we will prepare it for you."
At this time, Ning Ning stretched out her hands and pointed at her fingers, mumbling softly to explain: "It was Wen Yi who brought the cake down, and then he accidentally knocked it over. I just said that I still wanted to eat the cake, and just when I was about to find someone to help, I saw the cake fall to the ground."
When Wen Yi heard Ning Ning's words, he raised his head and looked at them, and uttered two words softly: "Ning Ning, eat."
Ning Ning blinked her big watery eyes and asked curiously, "You want to give me this cake to eat, right?"
Although Wen Yi did not answer, Ning Ning seemed to understand what he meant immediately.
So, he turned his head to look at Leng Zexi who was holding him, and said coquettishly: "Dad, put me down first."
Although Leng Zexi didn't understand what his son was trying to do, seeing his serious look, he hesitated for a moment and then slowly put her on the ground.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ningning's feet touched the ground, she immediately squatted down, reached out without hesitation to grab the cake that had fallen on the ground but not on the tray, put it in her mouth and took a big bite.
At this moment, Father Wen suddenly noticed the children's actions. His face changed and he hurriedly stopped them: "You can't eat it!"
However, Ning Ning completely ignored Father Wen's warning and said happily: "It's delicious. Thank you, Wen Yi!"
After saying that, he happily picked up another piece of cake and handed it to Wen Yi without hesitation, adding: "Here, eat it. This piece didn't touch the ground, so it's not dirty at all."
At the same time, Nian Nian also came over, and without hesitation, she took a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth, saying while eating, "Thank you, Wen Yi."
Father Wen, who was standing aside, cast his eyes on Leng Zexi, who seemed to have no reaction to the situation and had no intention of stopping the children.
Leng Zexi was just surprised for a moment but did not stop it.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Yi, who was originally held in the arms of Mr. Wen, began to twist his body restlessly and struggled hard to get down to the ground.
Mr. Wen had no choice but to gently put the little guy on the ground.
As soon as Wen Yi landed, he walked quickly to Ningning with his short legs, took the cake from Ningning's hand obediently, and began to eat it with relish.
When Mr. Wen saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out and touched his nose, thinking: Never mind, anyway, the cake didn't touch the ground, so it shouldn't be too dirty.
Here, Ningning was staring at her little hands covered with cream with joy. Suddenly, she had an idea. She playfully dipped her fingers into some cream and quickly smeared it on Wen Yi's rosy cheeks, then started giggling.
Wen Yi blinked his big round eyes, and first looked at the cake in his little hand with a blank look. After a pause, he actually followed suit, grabbed a handful of cream, and smeared it on Ningning's face with his backhand.
Ningning had never expected the other party to do something like this, and was stunned for a moment.
After he came to his senses, he quickly reached out to wipe off the cake on his face, and then playfully reached out his hand to smear Nian Nian next to him.
However, when his hand was about to touch Sui Sui, he was suddenly met with Sui Sui's staring gaze.
Ningning seemed to be frightened and suddenly retracted her outstretched hand.
At this time, Leng Zexi quietly stepped aside, carefully protecting Xia Ruoan beside him, and let the children play to their heart's content.
After all, this is a wide lawn outside the yard, so there is no need to worry about the children falling and getting injured while playing.
Even if you accidentally get your face dirty, it will be fine after washing.
But who could have thought that Leng Zexi had only taken Xia Ruoan away for a short while, and when he returned, what appeared before him were three little guys covered in cream, so dirty that it was almost impossible to look at them directly!
Even Leng Zexi, who was always steady and calm, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly after seeing this scene, expressing his inner helplessness.
Look at the three little troublemakers again. They are now looking at Leng Zexi with flattering faces, as if they are trying to please and beg for mercy.
Seeing this, Leng Zexi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but he finally softened his heart.
I thought to myself: Never mind, as long as I clean it well it shouldn’t be worth it.
So he patiently wiped the cream off the children's faces and hands one by one, then turned around to get spare clothes, and asked the Wen family's servant to lead them to the guest room to wash up.
Originally, Father Wen planned to have the servants take his sons downstairs to be cleaned.
But when he saw Leng Zexi taking care of the children so personally, and even taking them to wash and dress himself, he couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart.
So, without saying a word, he carried the child and followed Leng Zexi and his son.
Mother Wen stood by and witnessed all this and was also very surprised.
"Mrs. Leng, does Mr. Leng usually take care of these three children personally?"
Just now, everyone witnessed Leng Zexi gently wiping the three children. His skillful movements were impressive.
Hearing this, Madam Leng smiled slightly and responded softly, "Yes, he is the one who takes care of the children at home. From the time the children were born until now, he has basically been the one who worries more."
