I got up, washed, and had just finished cleaning up when the housekeeper knocked on the door.
Xia Yu'an opened the door. Seeing him, the housekeeper said cheerfully, "Young Master, it's time for us to have breakfast. After breakfast, we'll set off."
"Uncle Butler, are we heading to the North Pole?" Xia Yuan asked with his head tilted.
"Not yet. We still have to change trains several times before we reach the North Pole."
"Oh, I'll go call my brother. My brother and I have woken up a long time ago." After Xia Yuan said this, he ran in.
The butler had a relieved smile on his face, his hands folded on his abdomen, and waited patiently.
Xia Yunxi didn't let him wait long. She took good care of her skin and then applied protective cream on her hands. Then she took her coat and bag and called Xia Yu'an and Li Jinchen to go out.
When they got outside, the butler nodded respectfully, "Miss Xia, I'll get it for you."
"No need, butler, let's go down quickly." Xia Yunxi refused, then took Li Jinchen's hand and walked away.
Xia Yuan followed behind, accompanied by the housekeeper.
This guy just can't sit still. Even though he knows where he's going, he still keeps asking questions.
The housekeeper really dotes on children, especially her husband's children, so she tried to answer Xia Yuan's questions in a realistic way.
Most children of this age are curious about everything around them. No matter how smart Xia Yuan is, he is still full of curiosity about unknown things.
So when the butler answered, even Li Jinchen in front of him couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen curiously.
The group took the elevator downstairs. Because the temperature here was obviously very low, most guests asked the hotel staff to deliver meals to their rooms.
There were very few people in the restaurant, so as soon as he entered this area and looked up, he saw the extraordinary, awe-inspiring and dignified man sitting in the middle of the restaurant.
He leaned lazily against the back of his chair, one foot resting on his lap, looking down at his phone. It was clearly a nonchalant posture, but when he did it, there was something special about it.
It seems charming, yet also like the self-confidence and laziness of someone who has the victory in his hands. This is a kind of demeanor that does not need to be piled up with external things. The person's true self is easily revealed in every move.
One can't help but keep their eyes on him.
Be attracted by it and capture your mind.
"Miss Xia?" The housekeeper reminded her, and Xia Yunxi realized that she had been distracted.
She smiled awkwardly, then took Li Jinchen and Xia Yu'an and walked towards Li Hanting.
Only when she got there did Xia Yunxi realize that there were quite a few young girls sitting around in groups of three or four.
Their gazes were vaguely looking over here.
When Xia Yunxi's eyes fell on Li Hanting, she realized why the restaurant was almost entirely filled with girls...
She didn't quite understand this behavior. Could it be that they wanted to have an encounter with Li Hanting?
Just as this thought came to mind, a menu was handed to me.
Xia Yunxi was stunned for a moment and raised her head. The man's expression did not change at all. He just raised his eyebrows frivolously and raised his chin slightly, indicating that she should order.
Xia Yunxi took it and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you order?"
"What do you like to eat?" Li Hanting asked casually.
"An An has a variety of tastes. He's not picky about food, but he likes spicy and sour things. Jin Chen has a lighter taste, just like you. You like light food." Xia Yunxi said what she observed without any ulterior motives.
Li Hanting didn't know when he put away his phone. He just looked at the woman in front of him. It seemed that there was only her in his gloomy eyes.
"And you?"
"What about me?" Xia Yunxi didn't understand. She raised her head, but was slightly stunned.
Because the way the man looked at her was like a shining gem in his eyes, emitting a lustrous light. She didn't know if it was for her, but looking at such a face, he took off that layer of majestic and inviolable coldness. For the first time, she actually saw tenderness on this man's face.
That’s right, it’s gentleness.
And, he was still looking at her...
Xia Yunxi was in a trance and felt that her heartbeat seemed to have lost its balance. The sudden change was very abrupt, but it was like the pistil of a blooming flower.
It was not something she could control, it just spread sweetly like eating honey.
Never before has the feeling of this moment been so clear.
Xia Yunxi was very panicked, but she could do nothing. She was stunned and immersed in the beauty he was brewing.
Li Hanting raised his thin lips slightly, and he seemed very satisfied with Xia Yunxi's stunned expression. "What do you like to eat? Hmm?"
The man's voice was low and pure, like wine that had been brewing for years, intoxicating and addictive.
Yes, it's addictive.
Xia Yunxi always felt that he seemed to be deliberately seducing her, using his charm to make her lose her mind.
Xia Yunxi held the menu in her hand and approached him secretly, but then she wondered if she was being too suspicious.
Is Li Hanting such a person?
"Mommy, have you ordered what I like to eat?"
A lot of thoughts flashed through Xia Yunxi's mind, but it was only for a moment.
As soon as Xia Yuan spoke, she came back to her senses, quickly looked away, and pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly.
"Let me see..."
"You haven't told me yet, what do you like?" Li Hanting didn't intend to let her go just like that.
Why is this man never-ending?
Xia Yunxi complained in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. "Haha... I'm not really picky about food. I'm a combination of Jinchen and An'an."
After all, those two were her own!
Li Hanting was satisfied, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never faded. Looking at the picture of the mother and her two children gathered together, although... well, excluding him, these three people were all protected under his wings.
Thinking of this, Li Hanting felt relieved.
After breakfast, everyone set off again.
Because we were going to the Arctic Village, we first needed a bus to go to that county and then transfer to the Arctic Village.
This is what the housekeeper kept saying. If they were not driving, they would have to change buses several times before they could reach their destination.
When we left the hotel, there were already four cars waiting outside.
It was the same car they took when they left the Imperial Palace, but this one was rented.
The drivers were also recruited. The housekeeper said that when they arrived at that county, they would look for an off-road vehicle that specialized in traveling on rugged mountain roads.
Then head to the North Pole, which will make the journey much easier and you don’t have to worry about time issues.
Moreover, the faster the car drives, the colder it becomes.
Xia Yunxi wrapped herself and her two children in thick down jackets, and also took the gloves, scarves/hats she had given them... without missing a single one.
