Xia Xi actually didn't pay much attention to what Zhou Du said. She was still thinking about Xu Yanfeng.
Seven years have passed, just as Xu Yanfeng himself said, which is much longer than the time they have been together. How could he still miss her?
She had "betrayed" him and abandoned him.
Doesn't he care?
Xia Xi remained silent, and Zhou Du assumed he had hit the nail on the head. He poked his forehead, frowning, a look of distress on his face. Xu Yanfeng's cruel father was indeed a problem.
But he didn't think it was a big problem.
"You have to believe in yourself. You're not the Xia Xi you were seven years ago. Try to believe in Xu Yanfeng, too. He's not the Xu Yanfeng he was seven years ago either. Who can predict the outcome until the very end?" Zhou Du said. "Back then, it was because something happened in your family that gave Old Deng an opportunity to take advantage of you. Now is a different matter."
Zhou Du didn't quite understand the twists and turns in the wealthy families, but he believed that if Xu Yanfeng was determined to get back together with Xia Xi and wanted to have a bright future with her, he would not fail to resolve the problems on the family side.
Xia Xi said "Ah" in a daze: "What are you talking about?"
"..." Zhou Du laughed in anger, his tone cold, "Is it possible that I've been talking for a long time and you didn't hear a word I said?"
Xia Xi recalled and asked uncertainly, "You seemed to have mentioned Xu Yanfeng's father?"
"Well, that's what I'm talking about."
"It hasn't come to that yet. You're worrying too much." Xia Xi said slowly, "I'm not even sure I'm with Xu Yanfeng. His father can't control me."
Zhou Du nodded. He was indeed worrying too much. The emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was.
Xia Xi: "You analyzed everything for me, but why didn't you ask me if I still have feelings for him?"
Zhou Du stared at her for a long time, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He stretched out a finger and pointed at her neck. The kiss mark on it had been covered. Just because it couldn't be seen temporarily didn't mean it didn't exist: "What nonsense are you talking about."
Zhou Du didn't give her face and didn't mind speaking more bluntly: "He was drunk, were you drunk too? With your fighting ability, if he really had no feelings for Xu Yanfeng at all, how could he get close to you? Not to mention biting a bunch of red marks on your neck."
Xia Xi: "Don't underestimate the disparity in strength between men and women."
Zhou Du: "Xia Xi, telling the truth is not against the law."
Xia Xi: “…”
She asked that unnecessary question and ended up shooting herself in the foot.
Xia Xi felt a surge of heat on her face. She scratched her cheeks twice with her fingers, and before they turned red, she turned and walked towards the bedroom: "I'll go call Ziheng and Youyou. It's almost time to go out for lunch."
The two children fell on the bed and took a nap. When they were woken up, their little faces looked equally confused.
Xia Xi brought them shoes: "Take a nap after dinner."
The two children didn't make a fuss. They put on their shoes obediently and went to the bathroom to wash their faces.
Xia Xi sent a message to Huang Shiyu in another room.
Not long after, Huang Shiyu came out and they all took the elevator down together.
Zhou Du was playing with the child, and Xia Xi was checking her phone. She replied to a few WeChat messages, casually clicked into her Moments, scrolled through a few times, saw nothing interesting, and was about to exit when her eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar name and profile picture.
Xu Yanfeng posted a status for the first time, and the text only had four words: heartwarming and stomachwarming.
The accompanying pictures are a mess, the photography skills are worrying, the pictures are mediocre, and even a bit ugly.
Xia Xi naturally recognized at a glance that it was the porridge she cooked in the morning.
She and Xu Yanfeng had no mutual friends and only saw Fu Li's comments.
Fu Li: "What is this? [Picking nose]"
Seems a bit disgusted.
A normal person would indeed be suspicious if they saw Xu Yanfeng solemnly posting such a pot of unremarkable porridge on his WeChat Moments.
Xu Yanfeng replied to Fu Li: "You don't understand, loving breakfast."
Fu Li didn't reply to him.
The corners of Xia Xi's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and at the same time, her heart felt like it was scratched by a claw, not itchy or painful, but soft.
Suddenly realizing that the atmosphere in the elevator was not right, Xia Xi slowly raised her gaze from the phone screen. Two adults and two children, a total of eight eyes, were all staring at her.
Xia Xi cleared her throat, suppressed the smile on her lips, and put her phone into her bag as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Du asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just came across a rant post and was amused by one of the comments." Xia Xi pointed ahead, "Here's the elevator."
Huang Shiyu continued as he walked out: "Netizens nowadays are quite funny. I often see interesting comments and can't stop laughing for a long time."
*
The restaurant is not far from the hotel, less than 20 minutes' drive away.
Zhou Du booked a table at a high-end Chinese restaurant, and all the dishes were delicious. After eating and drinking, Xia Xi explained the next plan: "Ziheng, go play with your godfather for a while this afternoon. Mom has work to do."
Then, she told Zhou Du, "I'll be done around five o'clock and pick up the kids then."
Zhou Du pounded his chest with a fist, pointed at her, and gave her a look that said, "Leave it to me." It's just taking care of two kids, no big deal. These two kids are so easy to take care of.
After leaving the restaurant, the group split into two groups. Zhou Du took the children back to his home, while Xia Xi and Huang Shiyu returned to the hotel first and set off at around one o'clock to meet a board merchant.
This board supplier was also carefully selected by Xia Xi. If he is suitable, she wants to negotiate a fixed cooperation with Boya, which will save a lot of trouble when taking on large industrial projects like Jingyu Garden in the future.
As soon as Zhou Du got home, he gathered all sorts of snacks and toys, piled them in front of the two children, and let them play. He also found a collection of DVDs, including some science fiction films that the children also liked, so he could watch them with them.
