"Ms. Xia, please recognize your own identity. What you say depends on your position." The man's voice was cold and deliberately lowered, full of danger.
"You..." Xia Yunxi was speechless.
"Also," he paused when he was only half a meter away from her, "I thought I agreed to let you go out, but you should know your limits. Who asked you to take him clothes shopping? And dressed like that?"
Xia Yunxi's eyes widened in shock. Her clear, watery eyes were glittering with anger, "What kind of clothes? Jinchen is still a child, and a child should act like a child."
Li Hanting pursed his lips slightly, but the downward curve of his mouth still revealed a hint of anger. "He is my child, Li Hanting. He has been trained as the heir to the Li Group since he was young. He is different from others."
Perhaps he was really angry and had lost his mind. Li Hanting had become completely different from his usual behavior. He was actually discussing child-rearing issues with this woman in a childish way.
When he discovered this, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the straight lines formed in his eyebrows seemed to be able to pinch a fly to death.
"Li Hanting, is there something wrong with your brain? Do you think it's right to treat a five-year-old child like this?"
Xia Yunxi was completely stunned. He was training a five-year-old child as the heir to such a big group... Jinchen was only five... Ordinary children were just beginning to understand things, but Li Hanting put such a heavy burden on such a young child?
Xia Yunxi could almost imagine that with such strict requirements on the child, it was no wonder that Jinchen's temperament became more and more dull and introverted... He had grown up so big, but still couldn't speak clearly?
Xia Yunxi put her hands on her hips, her chest heaving violently. She was so angry that she didn't know how to react or express her anger.
"Li Hanting, you..."
"Xia Yunxi, this is the rule of raising children in my Li family. No one is allowed to interfere." Li Hanting said coldly and without any emotion, "You can leave today. If something like today happens again, you don't have to come back."
Xia Yunxi opened her mouth.
After Li Hanting said this, he walked past her and left.
Xia Yunxi looked at the tall figure walking away and felt very angry. How could there be such a person in the world?
Couldn't he see how much harm his actions had caused Jinchen?
Xia Yunxi took a deep breath, went upstairs and said goodbye to Jinchen.
The little guy was reluctant to let her leave and held her waist tightly without letting go.
Xia Yunxi's heart softened and she stroked his little head: "Be good, I'll come to see you tomorrow. You must eat well. The housekeeper will tell me."
Li Jinchen looked up at her and felt relieved when he saw that there was no sign of anger on Xia Yunxi's face.
He was very scared that his father would let "Mom" leave and never come to accompany him again!
Children's hearts are sensitive and fragile. In fact, sometimes they are the easiest to perceive the slightest reaction of adults' emotions.
After Xia Yunxi left, Li Jinchen ran out of his room.
He went to the study and stood on tiptoe to open the door handle.
The door opened silently. Li Hanting was processing documents at his desk. He looked up when he noticed the movement.
Those cold and emotionless eyes softened slightly when they saw the small figure coming in.
Li Jinchen pinched his clothes and came to the desk. He raised his head and looked at his father eagerly.
The look in those innocent eyes made one sense his expectations even without any explanation.
What are you expecting? Li Hanting glanced at the clothes he was wearing coldly, and a complex expression flashed across his brows.
"I've bought a lot for you too." But I've never seen him so happy.
"Good-looking." Li Jinchen still liked to speak in single words.
A dark hue welled up in Li Hanting's eyes. He calmed down a lot and commented, "Childish."
Li Jinchen pursed her lips and looked at him with watery eyes, as if she would cry in the next second.
Somehow, Li Hanting suddenly thought of that woman, whose eyes were rippling with anger...exactly the same as Li Jinchen's eyes.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart, a feeling I had never experienced before.
Li Hanting had never been so aware as this time that Li Jinchen had a mother.
And the degree of resemblance between him and his mother is so - astonishing?
Just as this thought left his mind, he caught a glimpse of Li Jinchen, his head hanging dejectedly, turning to leave. Li Hanting's thoughts raced past his own: "You can wear whatever you want, but not for formal occasions."
Li Jinchen turned around, and a happy smile appeared on his fair little face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Two small dimples are faintly visible on both sides of the cheeks.
The look in Li Hanting's eyes became more and more complicated, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Li Jinchen had never been so happy when he came out of the study. He ran back to his room to unpack the new clothes that his "mother" bought for him.
The housekeeper came upstairs to bring coffee to Li Hanting and saw Li Jinchen's back, which was unable to hide his joy.
The butler shook his head, but he couldn't hide the relieved smile on his face.
…
At the same time, at the Xia family villa.
After finally separating from those celebrities, Xia Wei returned home. Without even having time to change her shoes, she immediately shouted, "Mom, Mom..."
A servant came forward with a fruit plate. "Miss, these are the cherries that Madam just bought today. They're so sweet. Would you like to try some?"
"Hey, go away, where's my mom?"
"The lady is upstairs." said the servant.
Xia Wei pushed the servant aside and quickly went upstairs in her high heels. "Mom, Mom—"
"Where's the soul caller? I heard you screaming downstairs."
Before Xia Wei finished speaking, the door of the master bedroom on the second floor was opened from the inside.
Bai Fangzhen had a facial mask on her face and was wearing a silk suspender dress pajamas, revealing a large part of her chest valley with no intention of covering it at all.
Xia Wei didn't care about anything and grabbed her arm and pushed her into the bedroom.
"What are you doing? Be gentle, or you might rub off my facial mask." Bai Fangzhen shouted.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Xia Wei said when she entered the room was, "Xia Yunxi is back."
Bai Fangzhen was only concerned with protecting her face mask with both hands. Upon hearing this, she turned around abruptly, her two exposed eyes filled with surprise. "Who are you talking about?"
"Xia Yunxi, she's back." Xia Wei said seriously.
"How could it be? After everything that happened five years ago, she still has the nerve to come back?" Bai Fangzhen simply couldn't believe it. How could anyone with such a bad reputation, who had been disowned by her biological father, show up again?
