Xia Xi shook her head and said in a gentle voice, "I'm not thirsty."
Ziheng: "Mom, if you need anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you."
Xia Xi: "Okay, thank you, baby."
Ziheng: "Mom, are you hungry? I have chocolate cookies."
Xia Xi: "Mom is not hungry, you keep it for yourself."
Ziheng simply lay down beside her: "Mom, you..."
Xu Yanfeng gritted his teeth, unable to bear it any longer, patted his raised butt, and interrupted him: "Don't you have homework to do?"
Ziheng turned his head and glared at him dissatisfiedly. He was concerned about what was wrong with his mother.
"We don't have homework every day in kindergarten!" Ziheng said loudly.
Xu Yanfeng: "I'm here to take care of you. You're crowding me."
Ziheng: “…”
Xia Xi couldn't bear to watch and turned away.
Ignoring Ziheng, who was speechless with anger, Xu Yanfeng picked up what he had forgotten to say earlier and said to Xia Xi, "Be careful when you take a shower. Don't let the wound come into contact with water." After a few seconds of pause, he seriously offered her a solution, "If it's inconvenient for you, I can do it for you."
Xia Xi turned her head quickly, her eyes widened. What did he ask her to do for him?
As if he understood what Xia Xi hadn't said, Xu Yanfeng covered Ziheng's ears. Ziheng shook his head and struggled, but Xu Yanfeng covered his ears tightly: "I mean, I'm going to help you take a bath."
"..." Xia Xi's eyes flickered slightly, "Could you please not say such nonsense in front of the child?"
Xu Yanfeng lowered his chin a little and gestured for her to look at the movement of his hands: "This is not blocking his ears."

In the next few days, Xia Xi was deprived of the right to drive by Xu Yanfeng. Every morning he would send the children to school and then take her to the company. In the afternoon, he would pick up the children and wait for her to get off work, and then go home together.
After being caught several times by colleagues at the company, Xia Xi didn't know how to explain.
Fortunately, they only gossiped behind her back, and no one came to her to ask about her relationship with Xu Yanfeng.
Xia Xi's work focus shifted slightly to Mrs. Li's estate, but she also paid attention to the construction progress at Jingyu Garden.
That morning, Mrs. Li came to Boya to look at the design drawings with Xia Xi. They had spoken on the phone several times before, and Mrs. Li had conveyed her and her husband's ideas to Xia Xi one by one, wanting to know if she had reflected on the drawings.
Xia Xi invited everyone into the office and asked Huang Shiyu to make a cup of coffee and bring it in. She tactfully told Mrs. Li, "The design drawings haven't been completed so quickly. They're just prototypes now, so you can't tell what's going on. But don't worry, I'll work hard to finish them. I'll come to you when the time comes, or if you're free, I'll call you and tell you to come over."
Huang Shiyu placed the coffee on the tea table in front of Mrs. Li and spoke for Xia Xi, "Our Xia Gong is famous for her speed in producing drawings. It hasn't been a few days. She must have designed every aspect to satisfy you. Please be patient and wait. I guarantee that the results will not disappoint you."
Mrs. Li frowned slightly, but didn't say anything harsh. She took two sips of coffee and left.
Before leaving, she turned her head to look at Xia Xi and urged, "Hurry up."
Xia Xi nodded in agreement.
It's not like Xia Xi hasn't seen clients who urge for progress, but Mrs. Li is considered to be easier to talk to. Xia Xi remained calm. After seeing Mrs. Li off, he sat down and continued to draw the design.
Mrs. Li left the office, took out sunglasses from her bag and put them on, then walked out with her high heels clicking.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the printer pretending to be busy, but in fact she was always paying attention to the movements in Xia Xi's office. Seeing Mrs. Li coming out, Xia Xi walked her a distance and then returned. Yu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and quietly followed Mrs. Li.
When they arrived at the elevator, there was no one around, so Yu Xiaoxiao went forward to help press the elevator button.
Mrs. Li paused and glanced at her through her sunglasses.
Yu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to greet him: "Hello, Mrs. Li."
