Aunt Lin really loved these two little guys, whether it was Li Jinchen or the exchanged Xia Yu'an... Aunt Lin treated them like her own grandchildren. Therefore, when Xia Yu'an was pretending to be Li Jinchen, besides his own grandmother and the housekeeper, his favorite person in the Li family was this very gentle grandmother.
Because this grandmother is very tolerant of him, and she always seems to be there to clean up the mess when he gets into trouble... She will also tell him stories before he goes to bed at night.
It can be said that Xia Yuan really likes this grandma.
"Grandma Lin, the housekeeper is supervising my brother and me. We must eat well before we come to see Mommy." Xia Yuan complained with a pout.
He was very anxious to see his mommy immediately, but the housekeeper forced them to finish their meal, which made Xia Yuan very unhappy.
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "You need to eat enough to have the strength to run. Otherwise, if you come to see me, I will be so worried."
"Yes, I never let you go hungry." Xia Yunxi said with a smile.
Xia Yuan was half lying on the edge of the bed, half of his body was about to climb onto the bed.
Li Hanting saw it, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Stand still obediently."
Xia Yuan was not happy about it, but he felt wronged by his cheap father's arrogance, so he could only put his feet on the ground obediently.
Aunt Lin saw this scene, and although she was still worried that Master Yu'an had not been with the master since he was a child, and might not be close to the master, but now she saw how much her worries were unnecessary. Look at how well the second master got along with the master and how much he listened to the master.
Look at Master Jinchen again, standing obediently aside. Although he is not good at speaking, his cold and expressionless face that he tries hard to maintain makes people love him no matter how they look at him.
Aunt Lin put down the things in her hands, turned around and called Xia Yu'an: "Young Master An'an, let's go, Grandma Lin will take you and your brother out to play, let mom and dad talk for a while."
Xia Yuan glanced at Xia Yunxi, then turned to look at his adopted father.
Well, although I am not close to him, I am still close to him after all.
He also wants his father and mother to be together and give him and his brother a complete home!
Li Jinchen grabbed Xia Yunxi's hand, obviously not wanting to go out. He had not yet escaped the shadow of his mother being kidnapped under his nose.
Xia Yunxi held his little hand: "Don't be afraid, Mom is fine now. You and your brother go out and play, can I talk to Dad for a while?"
Li Jinchen lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
After Aunt Lin took Li Jinchen and Xia Yuan away, the ward became quiet.
Xia Yunxi then turned her gaze cautiously towards him. She didn't know what to talk about. Xia Yu'an would be exposed sooner or later. She had been prepared for this ever since returning to the city.
But I didn’t expect that this time, because of such an incident, Li Hanting would know about the two children!
Although you may panic and be afraid at first, when it really happens, it is not as unacceptable as you imagined.
I just don’t know what Li Hanting will do?
She thought that if he didn't let her see the two children again, she would respect his choice and the children's choice...
But, I need to be alone again...
Li Hanting looked at the self-deprecating smile on the woman's lips. He moved, put down Huanxiong's hand, and walked over.
Xia Yunxi raised her head when she heard the movement. The man pulled out a stool and sat down in front of her casually.
He looked like he really wanted to have a conversation with her, but if you ignored those eyes that could capture your heart...
"Don't you have anything to say?" The man's cold voice, with a hint of chill, interrupted her thoughts.
Xia Yunxi's gaze met his. He waited for her to explain, but how should she say it? Xia Yunxi had explained more than once that once a person's impression was fixed, it was difficult to change how they appeared in the eyes of others.
Xia Yunxi knew this very well. She pursed her lips slightly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Li Hanting narrowed his eyes: "Why, you have nothing to say?"
Xia Yunxi remained silent until she heard the man's mocking tone: "You secretly took my son, Li Hanting. I didn't know that Miss Xia actually had such a trick behind the scenes. Tell me, what do you want?"
This was not the first time he asked this question. Ever since Xia Yunxi came into contact with Li Jinchen, Li Hanting had been waiting for her to reveal her cards.
He hadn't expected this woman to be so bold. She'd given birth to two children, abandoned one, and kept the other. Was she trying to bolster her chances? He had to admit, she'd done it. There was almost no need for a test. Standing next to the two children, no one would question whether they were twins.
"Have you ever seen me as a scheming woman who will do anything to achieve her goals?" In the quiet ward, Xia Yunxi asked the question she had always wanted to ask in a very soft and calm voice.
"Oh, isn't it?" Li Hanting raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xia Yunxi raised her head: "What if I say no?"
Hearing her attitude, Li Hanting frowned. What he hated most in his life was trouble, whether in business or elsewhere. If things could be resolved quickly, he would of course make a quick decision at all costs.
But if someone or something is hesitant about it, he will consider using some means to achieve his desired ultimate goal.
Xia Yunxi's words forced him to think more deeply. It seemed that she had really big ambitions!
In just a short moment, a lot of thoughts flashed through Li Hanting's mind, and then he heard the woman's soft and smooth voice.
"Five years ago, just like today, you must have investigated my family. Not all stepmothers treat their stepdaughters as their own. Five years ago, my father met with disaster in his business, and my stepmother tricked me into a fancy hotel, saying it was to celebrate my birthday. But I didn't expect they had other motives... Later, you found out everything, and I ran away. It was just a coincidence that I met you... Giving birth to Jinchen and An'an was the best decision I've ever made in my life."
Xia Yunxi's eyes were determined, but then she smiled bitterly.
"It's just that I can't support two children. As soon as your wanted poster came out, my father immediately published an advertisement to disown me! Believe it or not, this is the truest version of the whole thing."
Xia Yunxi looked up at the man. She was not as resolute as she had imagined. She was cautious and showed herself in the lowest posture.
"You want to take An An back to the Li family. I know I can't stop you, but..."
"What do you want?" Li Hanting interrupted her directly, his hand casually placed on the armrest of the chair, his fingertips slightly twisted, his urge to smoke coming back.
This situation made Li Hanting, who was usually calm and composed, feel irritated.
