Chapter 23 is about taking care of a brother...



The sudden sound startled Xia Yunxi.

She turned her head and looked carefully, and only then did she see the butler standing nearby in the darkness.

Xia Yunxi patted his chest and said, "Butler, are you silent when you walk?"

"Miss Xia is just too absorbed in her thoughts!" the butler said calmly.

Xia Yunxi sighed, "Can I go back now?"

"Miss Xia, please follow me first." said the butler.

Xia Yunxi followed the butler in confusion. After going downstairs, the butler took a document from the servant and handed it to Xia Yunxi.

Xia Yunxi took it and took a look, and the clear word "contract" caught her eye.

The housekeeper explained, "This is the contract that Master asked me to prepare. Miss Xia, please take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, you can sign it."

Xia Yunxi read through the pages one by one. Not only did it list Li Jinchen's interests and hobbies, his daily routines... but it also had many requirements for her, the person who took care of him.

The most important rule is that she must not reveal her identity in front of the child, otherwise Xia Yunxi will not be able to afford the huge compensation!

It was clearly just a piece of paper, but when I saw the conditions on it, I felt like a huge rock was pressing down on my heart.

A heavy and uncomfortable feeling.

The housekeeper urged her: "Miss Xia?"

Xia Yunxi came back to her senses. She concealed the expression in her eyes, picked up the pen beside her, and signed her name within the housekeeper's sight.

This was agreed upon long ago, but the content was presented in the form of a contract and is subject to constraints.

It’s nothing!

Xia Yunxi comforted herself and handed the contract to the housekeeper.

The butler took it and looked at it, then said in a businesslike manner, "I hope Miss Xia can come early tomorrow morning. The young master still likes you very much."

Xia Yunxi thought of the child's innocent eyes and suppressed the sadness in her heart.

The housekeeper arranged a car to take her back to Yujiang Apartment.

By the time we got in, it was already past twelve o'clock.

An amber sleep light was on in the living room.

Xia Yunxi turned on the light in the living room, and the sudden light woke up Xia Yuan who was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

The little guy rubbed his eyes and got up, and asked sleepily: "Mommy, why did you come back just now?"

The sudden sound of a child's voice was particularly clear in this silent space.

Xia Yunxi was startled and looked up, only to see Xia Yuan sitting up from the sofa.

"Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?" Xia Yunxi asked while changing her shoes.

"Waiting for Mommy."

"Didn't I text you to ask you to go to bed first?"

"But, Mommy hasn't come back yet..." Xia Yuan was still not fully awake.

It is rare for a five-year-old child to be as well-behaved as Xia Yuan.

Xia Yunxi walked over and rubbed his head. She couldn't hide her tiredness and asked, "Have you taken a shower? Go back to your room and sleep. Isn't Mommy back?"

Xia Yuan tilted his head and looked at her.

Xia Yunxi explained: "Mommy found a job and will start work tomorrow, so she will be back late."

"Work? What kind of work? Is it tiring?" Otherwise, why would Mommy's face look so tired?

"I'm not tired, I just have to take care of a brother..." Xia Yunxi said, then she held his head and kissed him on the forehead: "Okay, go to bed, Mommy is going to take a shower."

After saying that, Xia Yunxi took her clothes and went into the bathroom.

Xia Yuan was left sitting cross-legged on the sofa, looking confused. Isn't Mommy's ability a computer hacker?

Why is she taking care of a brother?

Xia Yuan didn't know what he was thinking about. His eyes rolled around, and he jumped up from the sofa and went back to his bedroom.

The chubby boy's hands were typing away on the computer on the desk, and soon a map appeared on it.

Xia Yuan successfully found out where Mommy went today based on the positioning system of Mommy’s mobile phone.

Hospital, definitely to visit grandma.

But, what kind of place is this Emperor's Palace? It looks like a residential area.

Xia Yuan looked outside the door and could hear the sound of water splashing in the bathroom very clearly.

He pursed his lips slightly and clicked the close button on his mouse. Forget it, Mommy is already very tired, I'll ask again tomorrow.

Xia Yunxi got up very early the next day, sent Xia Yu'an to school, and then drove to the Imperial Palace.

In the luxurious villa, the servant knocked on Li Jinchen's door.

"Young Master, are you awake? I'm coming in."

When Li Jinchen heard the knock on the door, he had already sat up, and his small body looked at the door eagerly.

But after hearing the servant's voice, he could not hide the disappointment on his fair face.

The servant pushed open the door and saw Li Jinchen sitting up. He smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, how are you feeling today? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Li Jinchen was very quiet and didn't say a word.

The maid was used to it, so she walked forward, skillfully opened the curtains, and tidied the room.

Then he came to Li Jinchen and said, "Young Master, can I take you to wash up? The family doctor will be here soon. After breakfast, he will give you an IV drip."

Li Jinchen pouted, feeling a little aggrieved. Clearly, "Mom" was still there last night, and she had promised him that she would come today as well...

But she didn't show up.

Li Jinchen didn't want to believe that "Mom" had lied to him, but he had been waiting for so long.

Usually at this time, the driver would have already taken him to school...

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

Li Jinchen looked up and saw a figure standing at the door. His eyes lit up.

The word "Mom" almost came out of my mouth.

Xia Yunxi smiled slightly and walked in: "Why haven't you gotten up yet?"

Li Jinchen is not good at speaking and doesn't know how to answer?

His eyes were glued to "Mom". She had not lied to him. "Mom" really came to see him.

Because early this morning, the housekeeper informed the servants of Xia Yunxi's new identity.

Therefore, the servant asked respectfully, "Is this Miss Xia?"

"I am." Xia Yunxi said, "Leave this to me. You can go down first."

The servant nodded and left the bedroom without further delay.

Xia Yunxi looked at the little guy who had just woken up. "How are you today? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Li Jinchen shook his head. Although he felt aggrieved just now, everything felt better after seeing "Mom".

The little guy's eyes sparkled. Xia Yunxi smiled slightly and walked over to open the wardrobe. "Let me help you get dressed first, then wash your face and go downstairs for breakfast. The housekeeper said you'll have an injection after dinner!" She turned around and glanced at Li Jinchen, "Don't cry while you're getting an injection."

Li Jinchen frowned. If he got the injection, he would have to lie down for a long time without being able to move.

"Jinchen," Xia Yunxi suddenly called him, "Don't you have any other colored clothes?"

Li Jinchen wanted to shake his head, but then he realized that his "mother" had her back to him and he couldn't see her at all.

He timidly blurted out two words: "No."
