"I know you have your own way of educating children, but Jinchen is only five years old. What can a five-year-old understand? Ordinary children can't even hold a pen. Jinchen is already very smart, so please, Mr. Li, don't be so harsh on him."
In Xia Yunxi's opinion, a child's childhood should be filled with their own fun, rather than being disciplined by adults and forced to follow their ways. Such children would become like puppets, losing their own spirituality.
This was something Xia Yunxi didn't want to see, so she argued with Li Hanting very seriously.
"Ms. Xia, do I need to remind you that what qualifications do you have to get involved in Li Jinchen's education?" Li Hanting put down his hand that was resting on the back of the sofa. He changed his posture, crossed his legs, and faced Xia Yunxi.
So strong, so cold and oppressive.
Xia Yunxi felt deeply angry and helpless. The topic had come to this point, and the argument was still the same as before.
But she didn't want to argue in front of the children.
So Xia Yunxi just stared at Li Hanting for a few seconds, then she calmly looked away and held out her hand to Xia Yu'an: "Come, I'll take you back to your room to change clothes."
Li Hanting was obviously here to take the child away, otherwise he wouldn't have come here so openly.
Therefore, Xia Yunxi didn't waste any more words.
After Xia Yuan came over obediently, she took the child and went to her bedroom without looking back.
But Xia Yunxi did not jump up, which made Li Hanting narrow his eyes slightly. His gaze fell on the cup of warm water on the coffee table. His eyes were dark and misty, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Because Xia Yunxi left with the child, the living room fell into silence again, so the woman's low voice in the bedroom could be faintly heard.
He couldn't hear it clearly, but at this moment, in this environment... Li Hanting, who always looked like he was keeping strangers away, felt a little weird.
He couldn't figure out where this feeling came from?
However, for someone like Li Hanting, he will not waste his brain energy on things that he has figured out.
Xia Yunxi was in the bedroom, changing clothes for Xia Yu'an, and Li Jinchen was watching eagerly by the side. However, compared to returning to the Imperial Palace, Li Jinchen wanted to stay with his mother.
Therefore, when he saw his brother replacing him, he felt a rare sense of guilt.
"Go back with your father. Don't make too much noise or you'll be exposed. Look how quiet your brother is. You must know your mission, do you understand?" Xia Yunxi warned earnestly.
"I know, Mommy. You've said this many times. But Mommy, when can you be with Daddy? Then my brother and I will have a home." Xia Yuan took the opportunity to express his thoughts that he had had for a long time.
Li Jinchen immediately turned his clear gaze towards Xia Yunxi. The expression on that little face clearly showed that he was asking when mommy could be with daddy.
This way, they won't have to switch places, and both will have a father and a mother.
Well……
Knowing what the two children were thinking, Xia Yunxi didn't know how to explain it. She could only hastily change the subject: "Didn't Mommy tell you? You can't let Daddy know about you two, otherwise Mommy won't be able to see you anymore."
"But mom can be with dad." Xia Yuan said immediately and naively.
"Yes, Dad is a good person." Li Jinchen also nodded.
Xia Yunxi was about to laugh and cry: "But Dad doesn't like Mom."
Xia Yunxi swore that this was just a topic to fool the child, but Li Jinchen listened to it and asked doubtfully, "Does Dad have to like Mom for this to work?"
Xia Yunxi: “…”
She didn't know how to deal with her two babies.
After finally changing Xia Yuan'an's clothes, Xia Yunxi saw the man standing outside the balcony at a glance.
Even though it was winter, he was wearing a black woolen coat. His slender figure, paired with the long black coat, gave him the impression of a lone, icy sword, like a sword piercing the cold, deep in the peak of a mountain, awe-inspiring and unstoppable.
But he is also aloof and disturbing.
"Daddy..." Xia Yuan called out.
Hearing the noise, the man turned around and saw them coming out. He turned around and walked in from the balcony, closing the floor-to-ceiling window.
His face, as sharp as a knife, was cold, arrogant, and lonely. He glanced at the neatly dressed Xia Yuan with an indifferent expression.
Li Hanting raised his foot and walked towards the entrance.
Xia Yunxi suppressed the strange feeling in her heart caused by the image of Qing Jue's back on the balcony. She took Xia Yuan's hand and followed him silently.
However, I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn’t notice the person in front of me suddenly stop.
He didn't pay attention to where he was stepping, so when he took a step forward, he tripped over something and fell forward uncontrollably.
Xia Yunxi screamed in shock, and Xia Yuan was dragged along with her, staggering a few steps and falling onto his father's legs.
Suddenly, it was so hard that Xia Yuan felt half of his face was numb and lost the sense of pain.
Xia Yunxi originally thought that what would greet her would be hard and cold tiles. She would be severely embarrassed in front of this man, and her face and dignity would never be saved.
Unexpectedly, a pair of arms as strong as iron clamps stabilized her at the right time.
Xia Yunxi also took the opportunity to bump into the man's firm chest. For a moment, his clear and heavy breath filled her nostrils, and the strong and inviolable aura instantly enveloped her.
Xia Yunxi didn't dare to move at all. Her whole body seemed to be acupunctured and she froze in Li Hanting's arms.
My heart was beating so wildly that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my chest.
"Have you hugged enough?"
Just when she was so frightened that she dared not move, a man's deep and emotionless voice came from above her head.
It was shattered in an instant. At that moment, Xia Yunxi seemed to be at a loss as if she was shrouded by a demon. She reacted immediately.
She raised her head in panic, her bright eyes, like a frightened rabbit, suddenly bumped into those dark eyes with a faint halo.
He is cold and aloof, like the most noble god high above, untainted by the dust of the world, yet it is hard to control oneself and people fall deeply into the deep nest he has created, indulge in it, and cannot extricate themselves.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the air around him was wrapped in his breath.
Xia Yunxi was too stunned to recover. She didn't think of struggling to get away immediately, but just stared blankly in the circle of light he emitted.
I couldn't help but indulge in it.
Until Xia Yu'an, who was sandwiched between her and Li Hanting, could no longer hold back and shouted, "Daddy, Mommy..."
