Luo Jingxuan, who saw through everything, said: "..." So, they are indeed uncle and niece? Even though they are not related by blood, they can still understand each other?
Su Yu's thoughts were simple. She was happy if Xixi was happy, no matter what the reason. As for whether Jing Limo stayed in China for the New Year, it was not very important to her. Not to mention that the two had not yet confirmed their relationship, even if they did, there was no need to stick together all the time. From the previous chat, it was clear that both of them were career-oriented people. Romance was not a necessity for them, but the icing on the cake.
"My uncle is spending the New Year in China, but what about the child? Should we bring him over when the time comes?" After Li Xi was happy, she thought of the reality.
"I'm usually busy with work, so I sent my child to kindergarten. He is mostly taken care of by a nanny during school and weekends. Kindergartens abroad and in China have different holiday schedules, and they have already had their holiday some time ago. While in China, the new semester starts during the Chinese New Year. I thought the winter vacation was not long, and he might not be able to adapt if I return to China, so it would be better for him to stay abroad with a nanny." Although Jing Limo loves his child very much, he is indeed not a qualified father. After taking the child home, he cares too much and does not take good care of him.
After listening to Jing Limo's explanation, Li Xi knew that there were some problems with Jing Limo's fathering. He clearly had no awareness of being a father. However, this was not his fault. First, he had never started a family, and second, he was actually very vague about the responsibilities a father should fulfill.
When Jing Limo was taken to the Jing family, although she had both parents and a gentle older sister, both parents were very busy and left both their biological daughter and the adopted child to be raised by the domestic helpers. Fortunately for her older sister, she was loved by her grandparents when she was young and enjoyed the warmth of a "normal" family.
By the time Jing Limo arrived, his grandparents were gone, his parents were busy, and he was left with only his older sister. His sister was still a child herself; she could play with him and help him with his homework, but she couldn't take care of his daily life. To put it bluntly, Jing Limo grew up being cared for by the maids, with his sister being, at best, a slightly older playmate.
When it comes to his own children, he also knows that children need the company of their parents, but since he has never been taken care of by his parents, he really doesn't know what a qualified father needs to do. In addition, he is very busy with work and has less energy to devote to his children.
Asking the nanny about the child's situation, going to see the child and talking to him before bed, and occasionally playing with the child and chatting with him when he is at home on vacation, in his opinion, is the best effort he can make as a father.
Although Li Xi had never been a parent, she knew that children yearned for their parents' company, so she put on a serious expression and said solemnly to Jing Limo, "Uncle, you'll be back in China for two or three months. How can you leave the child alone abroad? Although there's a nanny watching over him, he'll be fine. But the child will be sad if he doesn't see his father for a long time."
"This..." Jing Limo rubbed his hands helplessly. "I'm mainly worried that he won't be able to adapt to life in China. Besides, there are only a few elderly people left in the Jing family's old house to help take care of it. They can handle it if I move in, but they won't be able to take care of a child."
"So, will the child be left alone abroad for the New Year?" Li Xi knew Jing Limo was right. The elders in the Jing family were either from Grandpa Jing's generation or Grandpa Jing's father's generation. They might be able to take care of an adult, but they're probably not capable of taking care of a child. She felt a little sorry for the child, not because she liked him much, but because she felt a little empathy.
Both she and the original Li Xi lacked family companionship during their childhoods. Her situation was slightly better than the original Li Xi's; at least her parents truly loved her, but they lacked companionship. Although there was no lack of love, a childhood without parental companionship always felt regretful.
However, she just said that. Jing Limo was not close to her, and the child was not hers. She could not make a decision on behalf of the two of them.
"There's nothing I can do about it." Jing Limo felt a little distressed when he recalled the cautious look his child gave him. It was just that this was his first time being a father, and his own father was too strict and not very approachable, so he didn't know what to do.
"Why don't we bring the child here? Aunt Lin and Uncle Wu can help take care of the child, and Xixi can play with the child after class and on holidays." Looking at the entangled duo, you are entangled and I am entangled, Luo Jingxuan gave a suggestion.
However, this suggestion, which seemed to solve the current dilemma, was not immediately adopted.
"Take him here?" Li Xi looked at Luo Jingxuan hesitantly, "I have no experience taking care of children, and I..." Li Xi hesitated for a long time, "I don't like children very much. If the child is too annoying, I might get physical."
Luo Jingxuan: "..." I didn't know you were a potential violent person.
Jing Limo: “…” My niece is a bit tough, and I’m afraid she might scare the children.
Su Yu: "..." You Xi is always you Xi. You said in front of the father that you might beat his child.
"It's mainly up to Aunt Lin and Uncle Wu. Just play with the child whenever you have the time and the mood." Luo Jingxuan knew that Li Xi had a bit of a childish temper. It would be impossible for her to take care of the child. Being able to get along with the child harmoniously was good enough. From what she said just now, it was possible that she would occasionally have to fight with the child.
"Yeah, okay." Li Xi thought about it, it made sense, and taking the child over would allow him to get along with Su Yu in advance, so as to avoid conflicts between the two in the future, which would make Jing Limo feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle (Hey, the relationship between the two has not even started yet!).
