But this child has never lived with his mother since childhood...When he saw her, he wanted a hug, and his face was timid, but he couldn't hide his anticipation.
The soft string in Xia Yunxi's heart was tugged with pain.
She sat down on the edge of the bed and gently held the little guy in her arms, "Is it uncomfortable?"
Li Jinchen nodded vigorously.
Xia Yunxi touched his head and said, "Can I feed you? Only when you have enough food can you have the strength to fight the disease."
Li Jinchen raised his head from her arms. The little guy's bright and clear eyes were like a pool of spring water, crystal clear.
After all, he is different from Xia Yuan. He is too quiet, well-behaved and sensible, which makes people feel distressed.
Xia Yunxi picked up the bowl on the bedside table. It was the lean meat porridge that the servant had brought over early in the morning. It was not yet completely cold and was just the right temperature to eat.
Xia Yunxi fed the little guy spoonful by spoonful. Seeing him eating with big mouthfuls, she couldn't help but touch his head.
But when her hand touched the soft and fluffy hair, her movements suddenly stopped.
Li Jinchen's mouth was full and he looked up at her in confusion.
Xia Yunxi came back to her senses and asked in shock, "Have we met before?"
The little guy's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly.
Did you remember "Mom"?
"In the hospital?"
Li Jinchen nodded his head incessantly.
Xia Yunxi, however, discovered another question. She didn't know what kind of state of mind she had in asking it, but her voice was hoarse and trembling with a hidden tremor: "What's your name?"
Li Jinchen tilted his head and said, "Mom, Dad has come to find me, why doesn't she know my name yet?"
That’s right, it must be Dad who didn’t tell “Mom”!
The little guy swallowed the food in his mouth, "Li, Jinchen——"
The five-year-old child's voice is soft and gentle, and it sounds like clouds dancing on the tip of your heart.
Xia Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't heard him speak in the two meetings she had met. She had thought...
Xia Yunxi touched his face and wiped the rice stains from the corners of his mouth. "Jinchen, this name is so nice! Did your father give it to you?"
Li Jinchen thought about what his grandmother had always said to him, "No, it's Grandpa."
Xia Yunxi didn't notice that when Li Jinchen spoke, he spoke two words at a time -
While talking to him, I fed the little guy and coaxed him to sleep after feeding him.
It was two hours later when I walked out of the bedroom.
Xia Yunxi looked at the empty corridor, hesitating for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Miss Xia."
Xia Yunxi turned around suddenly and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties who appeared out of nowhere and stood behind her in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Xia Yunxi just opened her mouth and said, "You..."
The housekeeper asked, "How is the young master?"
"He fell asleep and I fed him porridge." Xia Yunxi replied subconsciously.
Surprise flashed in the housekeeper's eyes. Only then did he look at Xia Yunxi seriously. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "The master is waiting for you in front."
Xia Yunxi looked at the endless corridor. The housekeeper was leading the way in front. She thought for a moment and followed.
After walking through the long corridor and reaching the end, Xia Yunxi saw a man leaning against the railing, feeling the cold night wind.
It was late autumn. In the dim light, Li Hanting was wearing only a thin gray shirt with his sleeves rolled up above his elbows. He leaned on the railing with both hands, stood tall, and looked into the distance.
Xia Yunxi walked over and followed the direction. Apart from the winding street lights that disappeared into the depths of the dark mountain, nothing else could be seen.
Sensing the movement, Li Hanting's hoarse voice sounded without emotion.
“What does it feel like standing here?”
Xia Yunxi glanced at him, taking it in, and answered earnestly, "Very peaceful."
Feeling the solemnity of the loneliness of all things, it is as if all the pressure has been relieved from the depths of my heart.
Unconsciously, my body and mind felt relaxed.
The man sneered: "You really know how to enjoy yourself!"
Xia Yunxi frowned slightly. Before she could speak, she heard the man change the subject.
"It's not impossible for you to stay. I'll give you a chance."
Xia Yunxi frowned and looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
Li Hanting turned his head, his face etched with carved characters, a look of superiority, nobility, and indifference. The mockery he held towards her in his dark eyes was never concealed.
"Be the Li family's nanny and take care of Li Jinchen's daily life. Of course, the premise is that I hope your identity will not be revealed."
Xia Yunxi opened her mouth, stunned, unable to react for a long time: "What... do you mean?"
"Is it difficult to understand?" Li Hanting's patience has always been negative when dealing with people with ulterior motives.
What's more, this woman approached Li Jinchen with ulterior motives from the very beginning.
Thinking of this, Li Hanting's eyes darkened, and he didn't even have the patience to continue negotiating. He turned around and was about to leave.
Behind him, Xia Yunxi suddenly said, "You won't force me to leave?"
Li Hanting stopped but did not turn around.
Xia Yunxi stepped forward and asked, "Don't you need to go abroad anymore?"
Li Hanting tilted his head slightly but did not answer.
Xia Yunxi knew his patience, so she hurriedly said, "I can do it. I promise you."
Li Hanting, with his back to her, had an increasingly sarcastic expression on his face.
"What do I need to be responsible for? And..."
Before she could finish, Li Hanting turned around and said, "You only need to take care of his food, clothing, and daily life, and pick him up and drop him off at school on time every day. The housekeeper will give you the schedule later, and I hope Miss Xia will take a good look at it. Your salary will be based on the normal monthly salary in the market, and you won't be treated unfairly. Any other questions?"
The man had a strong aura, and after he spoke a long paragraph, Xia Yunxi felt so overwhelmed by his momentum that she felt breathless.
She calculated her time as quickly as possible, not daring to delay, and then put forward her biggest difficulty at the moment: "You know, my grandmother is in the hospital, and I have to rush to the hospital every day..." Seeing the man's face gradually getting colder, Xia Yunxi hurriedly said: "I may not have time to rush over to take Jinchen to school, but I can go to pick him up..."
"Miss Xia," the male protagonist turned around and locked eyes with her: "Who do you think I, Li Hanting, am? And what is the Li family?"
"As an employee of the Li family, the most important condition is to respect the rules - I hope you can remember! Also, the housekeeper will give you my number later. If there are any changes, I hope Miss Xia can contact me in time." After saying this, Li Hanting turned around and left.
Only after the steady footsteps disappeared in the corridor did Xia Yunxi lean against the railing and breathe a sigh of relief.
The man's aura was so terrifying that just one look from him could make people feel a chill in their hearts.
If aura could scare people to death, Xia Yunxi absolutely believed that the man could do it.
"Miss Xia."
