The next day.
Xia Yunxi got up very early, tidied herself up and opened the curtains.
All you see is a sea of white. The Imperial Palace is located on the top of a high mountain that was specially built in the city center. Standing on the second floor, you can see the mountains surrounding it. The earth seems to be covered with a layer of silver, and no other scenery can be seen.
Such weather was rare in Jiangcheng in previous years.
Even though Xia Yunxi hadn't been back for more than five years, she knew that Jiangcheng couldn't have been so cold in previous years.
When I came out of the room and went downstairs, the villa was already bustling with activity.
Aunt Lin saw her and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Xia, you're up. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Not bad." Xia Yunxi responded with a smile and took the initiative to follow Aunt Lin to the kitchen to help.
However, Aunt Lin rejected her and pushed her out the door. Xia Yunxi had no choice but to retreat obediently.
It was still early, and she looked at the snow outside. She couldn't help but stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room to look outside.
It has stopped snowing, but the scenery created by the heavy snow is a rare sight, especially the row of snowflakes falling on the branches, which look like they are coated with crystal clear silver, and the beauty is indescribable.
Thinking of something, Xia Yunxi took out his cell phone and pointed it at the courtyard outside to find a good angle.
"Crack."
I froze a photo, looked at the picture on the phone, and then looked at the real scene outside.
There is no comparison after all. How can the pictures captured by a mobile phone be as comforting as seeing them with your own eyes outside?
“Mommy——”
Xia Yunxi heard Xia Yuan's slightly hoarse voice from behind. She turned around and saw him coming down from upstairs wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, rubbing his eyes.
Xia Yunxi put away her phone and walked over: "Why did you come out without clothes?"
"I didn't see Mommy." Xia Yuan was still sleepy and looked dazed.
"You're a man now, right? You have to do your own things and get used to not relying on your mommy." Xia Yunxi said as she bent down and picked him up.
Xia Yuan put his arms around her neck, laid his little body in his mother's arms, and closed his eyes.
Xia Yunxi patted him on the butt in amusement, and just as she turned around, she saw Li Hanting coming down from upstairs.
He was adjusting the buttons of his sleeves, his face calm. He had just gotten up, so he didn't look as intimidating as usual.
Amidst his calmness, there was a sense of noble arrogance. Perhaps he had noticed Xia Yunxi, and he glanced over at her indifferently.
Their eyes met, and Xia Yunxi was the first to look away.
Holding Xia Yuan, he was about to move aside.
The man spoke up, frowning slightly: "What's going on? Don't you have legs?"
As soon as he spoke, Xia Yuan opened his eyes in shock as if by reflex.
There was a moment of confusion, not knowing where I was.
There was a cold snort from behind. Xia Yuan was startled and turned around. He saw his cheap father standing at the top of the stairs, looking down at him and his mother.
Xia Yuan slightly tightened his arms around his mother's neck, and it was obvious that he was still very afraid of this cheap father.
"Come down by yourself." After a pause, Li Hanting walked down the stairs: "Why are you not wearing clothes?"
Xia Yu'an curled his lips: "Mommy is not here..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xia Yunxi felt that something bad was going to happen.
Sure enough, the next second, the man's cold voice said without any emotion: "Butler."
The butler was like a ghost. As soon as the man finished speaking, he immediately appeared around them.
"From today on, take the two young masters to the villa in front and hire a professional teacher to teach them. As a young master of the Li family, you can't be ignorant of everything. When the expected results are achieved, you can bring them back."
Even though Xia Yu'an didn't understand what he meant after he finished speaking, the last sentence still made his eyes widen.
"Why? I don't want it." Xia Yuan protested loudly.
What he got was Li Hanting's crushing defeat. His deep eyes looked calmly at the little guy in Xia Yunxi's arms: "If you don't listen to the teacher, you will never see this woman again."
After he finished speaking, the man walked away from the stairs.
But he didn't even respond to Xia Yunxi.
Xia Yunxi wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, the other person had already walked away.
Looking down at Xia Yuan, the little guy had puffed up cheeks and his whole face was flushed red.
Obviously he was going to be furious.
However, even though this man was unreasonable, Xia Yunxi had no intention of interfering in his education of his children.
There may have been misunderstandings in the past, but many times, Xia Yunxi would still be touched when she saw him educating Jinchen or Xia Yuan.
Even though Xia Yunxi was very dissatisfied with her father's educational methods, she could not deny that this role was indispensable.
——
After finishing breakfast, Xia Yunxi ignored Xia Yuan's pitiful look, picked up her bag and hurriedly left the Imperial Palace.
She still had to catch the subway, so she was already late and shouldn't have been late today.
But Xia Yunxi thought that her two children had just returned, so she rushed to work the next day, which was unacceptable.
So, I patiently accompanied them to have breakfast.
After leaving the villa, because the Imperial Palace is located in a wealthy area on the mountain, although it is very high-end, it is difficult to get a taxi here.
Xia Yunxi could only walk while looking at the evening time, hoping to catch the eight o'clock high-speed train.
I was jogging, but before I had taken a few steps, I heard the sound of a car horn behind me.
Xia Yunxi turned around in surprise and saw that the black limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly stopped.
The driver leaned out of the car window and said, "Ms. Xia, please get in the car."
Xia Yunxi hesitated for a moment. She didn't even need to think about it, she knew who was sitting in the car.
However, she also knew her own limitations and didn't think that man's car was one she could ride in!
"Aren't you going to work? We can give you a ride." said the driver.
Xia Yunxi thought about it, then walked over and opened the left rear door. She saw Li Hanting sitting at the other end, holding a document in his hand. His face was calm, without any fluctuation, as he looked at the document on his lap with an indifferent expression.
Xia Yunxi lowered her eyes, bent down and sat in the car.
Perhaps because the car was too quiet, the driver became chatty: "Where does Miss Xia work?"
"At Jinyuan's side." Xia Yunxi was not used to this quiet atmosphere. She could not ignore the strong aura emanating from the man next to her all the time.
"Jinyuan, that's quite far, how are you going to get there?"
"By high-speed rail." Xia Yunxi didn't hide the fact. She looked at the road ahead and said, "Please stop at the next intersection. I can get off there."
"Okay." The driver originally wanted to say that he could take her to the subway station, but he did not forget his duties. He was Li Hanting's driver.
