The dinner was unusually harmonious. Jing Limo's worry that the child would not be able to adapt to the food at home did not appear at all. On the contrary, Jing Chu ate happily, tasting every dish and finishing two bowls of rice.
Jing Limo didn't know much about the child's daily life, and he wasn't sure if two bowls of rice was a normal amount for the child or if it was excessive. Anyway, seeing the child eating happily, he felt relieved.
Because he had a social engagement later, Jing Limo only stayed with the child for a while after dinner before leaving.
When Li Xi, Luo Jingxuan and Jing Chu went to the door to see him off, the three of them stood together, not to mention that they looked like a family of three. Returning to the living room, they were met with the teasing gazes of Aunt Lin and Uncle Wu. Li Xi was confused, what was going on?
Aunt Lin didn't say anything, but took the child back to the room to prepare a bath for him. Uncle Wu did speak up, "The way you two take little Jingchu with you looks like a family of three. I wonder if this old man will have the opportunity to help you take care of your child. Your child will definitely be very beautiful."
Li Xi: "..." Am I being forced into labor? Old Swan, not to mention that she and Luo Jingxuan sleep in separate rooms, she's only in her early 20s, barely 21! Why would she want to have a child at this age? A fool? Haha.
Luo Jingxuan: “…” You really are thoughtful.
"Uncle Wu, I'm still young!" Knowing that Uncle Wu meant well, Li Xi wasn't really angry. However, she also couldn't encourage their bad habit of wild imagination, so Li Xi pretended to be angry.
Luo Jingxuan glanced at Li Xi from the side and nodded in agreement, "Xixi is still young, there's no need to rush."
It's one thing to think so yourself, and another thing to hear others say so. Li Xi obviously didn't buy Luo Jingxuan's agreement. She turned her head to look at Luo Jingxuan, pouting and frowning slightly, as if to say, "What bullshit are you talking about?"
Luo Jingxuan looked at Li Xi but smiled without saying anything. Li Xi was even more angry. How could this guy "use his beauty to commit crimes"! He used to look good with a cold face, but recently he smiled at her from time to time, and his smile was so beautiful, like a spring breeze. Did you know that it is easy to make a young and beautiful girl's heart flutter?
She's obsessed with both her voice and her face, and I can't control myself anymore! It's terrible.
Li Xi became increasingly angry as she thought about it. She snorted at Luo Jingxuan and walked towards her room. Luo Jingxuan and Uncle Wu were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
Luo Jingxuan lowered his head and smiled. Just as he was about to go back to his study to handle official business, he heard Uncle Wu beside him say, "Xixi is a good girl. If you like her, you must take some practical action to keep her. Don't wait until she is chased away by others and then regret it."
"I..." Luo Jingxuan wanted to nod and say that he understood the first sentence, but the second sentence made him look cold, "Once you enter my house, there is no reason to leave."
After saying that, he strode upstairs, not noticing Uncle Wu behind him with a smug smile on his face.
This man needs to be stimulated, otherwise he will think that girls must be with him! Hehe, hehe (￣▽￣)"
Li Xi didn't know what had happened between them after she left. She was secretly worried! Lately, she'd been feeling a strange vibe between her and Luo Jingxuan. It wasn't as easy as before, yet at the same time, she felt more at ease. Her previously hidden temper would inevitably surface in front of Luo Jingxuan. She longed to see him, to act coquettishly, to be close...
Is it love? Li Xi doesn't think so.
Although she'd never been in a relationship and didn't know what it felt like to be moved, Li Xi felt that at least seeing someone made her heart beat faster. But every time Li Xi saw Luo Jingxuan, she was calm, her heartbeat never rising or accelerating. At most, she'd momentarily notice his stunning beauty, and her breath would catch.
That's all. Is this love?
Li Xi couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up. She might as well think about how to play with Jingchu! There weren't any toys at home, so should she go buy some? But her own potential danger hadn't been resolved yet. Would it be dangerous to take the child out? Online shopping? Wouldn't that mean she'd have to wait a few days?
As she thought about it, Li Xi gradually fell asleep.
After waking up, Li Xi half-drowsily thought she heard a bustle in the courtyard downstairs. This shouldn't be the case. Aunt Lin and Uncle Wu knew she occasionally stayed up late, so to avoid disturbing her sleep, they'd specifically instructed all the servants to work more quietly in the mornings. She'd never been woken by the noise before.
She suspected she was dreaming, but when she lay in bed to wake up, the hustle and bustle downstairs had not stopped, and she could occasionally hear the noise of children.
Oh, there is a child at home. This little brat must be playing in the yard.
Anyone who has ever slept in knows that waking up naturally and being woken by a noise are two completely different states. Li Xi, who was woken up at this moment, felt very bad and even had the urge to get up and beat up the little brat.
In the end, reason overcame impulse. There was no point in arguing with a little kid who was just visiting. I lay there with my eyes closed for a while, then slowly got up, washed up, and went downstairs to find something to eat.
Since she was still angry with the little brat, she didn't think of saying hello to him before breakfast. The little brat didn't even notice that she got up and was having fun outside.
Now that she was downstairs, Li Xi realized that the little brat was making quite a lot of noise and seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Although she wanted to go back to her room after breakfast to read the gossip about the Shen family sent by Mian Lao Si, she was the host after all. After much deliberation, Li Xi decided to go to the courtyard to greet Jing Chu.
Then, Jing Chu pulled him to play together.
It turned out that when Aunt Lin went grocery shopping that morning, she bought Jingchu some toys that boys might like, such as toy cars, water guns, skateboards, etc. The sound that Li Xi heard when she woke up was Jingchu and Yu Sui playing with water guns.
