"Hmph." Li Hanting responded coldly and brought the two cubs over. How could the relationship between him and Xia Yunxi be eased so easily?
As Xia Yunxi walked, she couldn't help but glance at him several times, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Li Hanting, don't you like children?"
Li Hanting approached her: "How did you know that?"
"I said I wanted to take them with me, and you just snorted." Xia Yunxi accused him of his behavior.
Li Hanting raised his hand to his forehead and forced himself to change the subject, "Were you cold last night?"
last night……
Xia Yunxi thought about last night, how she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and she didn't know how she fell asleep in the end!
But I didn’t feel cold.
"Where did you buy that sleeping bag? It seems to have an automatic heating function."
"It's charging." Li Hanting said.
"I haven't seen any of them." Xia Yunxi said honestly.
His mind was successfully diverted, and the two of them occasionally exchanged a few words along the way, so they didn't feel bored.
When they returned to their residence, the small mountain village became lively, no longer as deserted as when they arrived yesterday.
Because they were outsiders, when walking towards the inn, Xia Yunxi clearly felt that the villagers on the roadside in the small mountain village were looking at them vaguely.
Xia Yunxi guessed that outsiders definitely didn't come here often.
Otherwise their reaction should be normal!
When we were about to reach the door of the inn, we saw two little kids squatting and playing at the door from afar.
Xia Yunxi smiled, "Jinchen, Xia Yu'an..."
Hearing the sound, the two little guys turned around at the same time.
Seeing her and Li Hanting, Xia Yu'an ran over first, shouting, "Mommy, Daddy..."
Li Hanting wanted to correct him and call him dad, but Xia Yunxi took the lead and stepped forward, squatting down, allowing Xia Yu'an, who was running towards her, to jump into her arms.
Then Xia Yu'an started to complain: "Mommy, where did you go last night? Did you hide away because you don't want me and my brother anymore?"
"Who said that? Xia Yuan, be serious." The kid in front of her was her own child. How could Xia Yunxi not see where he was pretending and where his real side was.
Xia Yu'an put away his aggrieved look and stood up straight immediately, "Mommy, tell me quickly, where did you and Daddy go? Are you secretly dating? Are you together?"
Xia Yunxi's forehead was full of black lines. Where was this?
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side, and the big palm grabbed Xia Yuan's head. It didn't use much force, but Xia Yuan felt as if someone had pinched his vital points, and he obediently stretched his head out of his mother's arms.
"Hey hey hey, what are you doing——"
Li Hanting's voice came from above his head, light and without a trace of emotion, yet steady, which could naturally soothe one's heart.
"What did you call me just now?"
Xia Yu'an shrank his neck and kept yelling, "Let go, let go, Daddy... Daddy, let go, let go!"
Li Jinchen was a step behind him. When he came over and saw this scene, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly. He was reluctant to admit that the spineless guy was his younger brother.
He withdrew his gaze, not feeling sorry for his brother at all, and came to his mother.
Although he didn't say anything, a hint of grievance was revealed in his clear eyes.
Xia Yunxi saw this and immediately hugged him in her arms with heartache, "I'm sorry, Jinchen, Dad and I went to a place that was a bit far away, so we didn't take you and your brother with us. Please forgive me, I didn't mean to abandon you and your brother."
Xia Yuan, who was on the other side, immediately became unbalanced when he heard what Xia Yunxi said.
Mommy has never coaxed him so gently!
Xia Yuan wanted to go over and ask for comfort and a hug...but his cheap father grabbed his collar and lifted him up like a chicken.
With his feet off the ground, Xia Yu'an screamed in anger, but he couldn't break free from his father's control.
They returned to the inn together. Aunt Lin heard the noise and came out. Seeing that it was them, she smiled and said, "Miss Xia, sir, you are back."
If they don't come back, the two little guys will make trouble and even all of them together may not be able to control them.
Oh, these two little things are really something that people love and hate.
"Aunt Lin, thank you for your hard work." Xia Yunxi said.
To be fair, even Xia Yunxi herself couldn't take care of the two little ones, let alone Aunt Lin.
Adults simply cannot and will never be able to match the energy of children.
Usually they are in high spirits, but I am the first one to be exhausted.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. The two little masters are quite obedient. They just want you..." Aunt Lin said with a smile.
As they talked, they found a place to sit down. The housekeeper had already heard the news and came over.
Then, it was his duty to report to Li Hanting what happened the night they were away.
In fact, nothing happened. The main responsibility of the people Li Hanting brought was to take care of the two children.
They did a great job and protected Xia Yuan and Li Jinchen very well.
"Also, there was a call from Jiangcheng. It was from Mr. Qihang..."
When Li Hanting left, he did not bring his work phone with him, so everything was handled entirely by the housekeeper.
Naturally, even small things like phone calls need to be informed.
"Did he say anything?" Li Hanting asked.
"I am asking you, sir, when you will be back?" said the butler.
"I understand." Li Hanting said calmly, and no emotion could be discerned on his calm face.
Xia Yunxi, who was sitting here, picked up the menu and said, "I'm starving. Is there anything you're avoiding?"
She asked Li Hanting.
Li Hanting leaned his tall body against the back of the chair with one arm resting on it, looking lazy and casual.
He looked at Xia Yunxi, his voice cold, yet it seemed as if he was just like that: "I don't eat ginger, garlic, onions... or spicy food!"
Xia Yunxi twitched her lips. She checked the box on the menu and ordered. Then she looked up at the man in front of her and said, "I think porridge suits you better!"
Li Hanting lowered his eyes, and a smile appeared naturally on the corner of his mouth.
"Dad, you're so old now, why are you still picky about food?" Xia Yuan asked in a very surprised tone.
Back then, he didn't eat the things his father read out!
How did Mommy punish him? If he didn't eat, he wouldn't have any.
Thinking of his past dark life, Xia Yuan immediately felt that he had been abused, and by his own mother!
Li Hanting glanced at him sideways: "Your Excellency has the right to be picky."
Xia Yu'an: "..."
Dad, I think you are discriminating against children!
