Xia Xi was lying on the bed, about to fall asleep, but she still didn't understand why Xu Yanfeng was so angry.
The sound of rain outside the window was disturbing her sleep. Xia Xi sat up, turned on the desk lamp, and stared at the empty room for a while. Suddenly, she remembered that she had forgotten to do something.
She got out of bed, found a black marker, and walked out of the room.
Cross out today on the countdown calendar, there are ninety-eight days left.
After doing this, there was finally nothing to worry about. Xia Xi lay back in the warm bed, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
After a dreamless night, Xia Xi got up early the next morning, washed up and prepared to call Youyou and Ziheng.
Walking out of the bedroom, Xia Xi heard voices coming from the dining room. It turned out that the two children had already gotten up and were sitting at the dining table waiting for breakfast.
"Good morning, Mom." Youyou saw Xia Xi first and waved her little hand.
"Good morning." Xia Xi walked over.
A voice came from the kitchen. It was the nanny, and her tone was obviously embarrassed: "Sir, how about I do it?"
Xia Xi looked towards the kitchen. Another voice belonged to Xu Yanfeng, who spoke calmly, "Don't bother me."
Ziheng covered his mouth and muffled his voice, saying, "That person is making breakfast."
"That person" refers to Xu Yanfeng.
Ziheng couldn't call him "Dad", nor did he want to call him uncle like Youyou did.
Xia Xi's expression became very strange, and she asked Zi Heng: "Who did you say was cooking?"
Ziheng smacked his lips, hesitated for a second, and called him by his name: "Xu Yanfeng."
Xia Xi's expression became even more exaggerated. Xu Yanfeng, a young master who had never touched a single finger, could actually cook? When they were together, they either ordered takeout or ate at restaurants outside. They had never seen him cook.
"For our own safety, I'll go check it out." Xia Xi stood up, moved the chair away, and earnestly instructed the two children, "Be good and stay away from the kitchen as much as possible."
As soon as Xia Xi reached the kitchen door, he smelled a burnt smell, and the expensive range hood had stopped working.
She walked closer and looked at the dark mass of unknown object in the pan: "This... is made of charcoal grilling pan?"
Xu Yanfeng was so focused on cooking that he didn't hear the footsteps. She suddenly spoke, which scared him. His lips straightened and he turned his head to glance at her.
The nanny smiled at Xia Xi, not considering giving Xu Yanfeng face, and told the truth: "My husband suddenly wanted to make breakfast for the children himself. He was frying eggs, but he ruined them..."
She glanced at the trash can at her feet and couldn't count how many eggs were ruined.
Xia Xi lowered her eyes following the nanny's gaze. The trash can was full of black, unidentified objects. If it weren't for the burnt eggs, who knew what the hell they were.
"Xu Yanfeng, the kids are going to be late for school." Xia Xi tugged at his sleeve, telling him to "step aside and let someone else take over." "Besides, waste is shameful. Please take a look at the trash can. Even a hen would want to jump off a building if they saw you."
It was the first time the nanny heard someone say this. She couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing, with wrinkles quickly forming on her face.
Noticing the husband's expression, the nanny frowned.
Xu Yanfeng dropped the spatula and finally left the sink, returning the seat to the nanny.
The nanny shoveled the burnt eggs out of the pan, started washing the pan and making breakfast.
Having eliminated the risk of the kitchen being blown up, Xia Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the dining room. She said to the two children who were crying for food, "You must be hungry. Wait a little longer. Auntie is cooking."

Xu suddenly proposed to add a few additional contract clauses, so Lu Mingji personally took Zhang and went there.
Seeing Xu Yanfeng in the reception room, Lu Mingji felt as if he had stumbled into a tiger's den. He took a sip of the coffee in front of him and got straight to the point: "What terms does Xu want to add?"
Xu Yanfeng raised his eyes. That was just an excuse for him to meet Lu Mingji.
"Let's be frank. I hope Mr. Lu can put himself in the right position and stop thinking about people he shouldn't be thinking about." Xu Yanfeng was not afraid to reveal his true purpose in front of him.
They had already seen through each other's thoughts, so there was really no need to hide anything.
Lu Mingji laughed, his eyes curved. Publicly, Xu Yanfeng was the CEO of Party A, and as Party B, he should respect him. Personally, they didn't have much of a relationship. Xu Yanfeng was talking about a personal matter, so he didn't need to flatter him. "Xia Xi will decide what position I should take. Besides her, no one else seems qualified. I'd like to ask, in what capacity is Mr. Xu asking me to do this?"
Xu Yanfeng: "We live together now."
Lu Mingji: "So what? You're just using your status and power to force her to choose between custody of the child and living with you. Any mother would choose the latter."
Xu Yanfeng's pupils trembled and he lost his composure.
Xia Xi actually told Lu Mingji this.
Lu Mingji was slightly better, his smile widening as he said leisurely, "I think it's you, Mr. Xu, who's lost your place. I wonder if you've ever heard of the saying 'A good ex-boyfriend should be as good as dead.'"
The atmosphere was too quiet. Xu Yanfeng's eyes were gloomy. "You don't understand our past, so you have no right to comment."
"I'm not qualified," Lu Mingji said calmly. "I'm speaking for Xia Xi as a friend. She had a hard time those few years abroad, and I don't want her to be hurt again. You know in your heart that if you don't force her and give her the opportunity to choose freely, she won't choose to be entangled with you."
I am speaking for Xia Xi as a friend...
This is Xu Yanfeng’s focus.
After a moment's deliberation, Xu Yanfeng raised his lip and counterattacked calmly, "How do you know that I will bring her harm? You also said that you are just her friend, not the worm in her stomach. How can you know what she is thinking? In the beginning... she was the one who pursued me, and now I am just repaying her debt. Don't worry about what happens between us."
