Chapter 1054 I'll Beat You Up Every Time I See You
Xia Jingcheng was both amused and exasperated, but no matter what the children said, he wouldn't get angry. In fact, he found the little ones very cute, probably because they were his own children, and they were adorable no matter how he looked at them.
The fish soup was ready quickly and smelled wonderful. Chu Chu didn't eat anything that night, just drank the soup, and Xia Jingcheng didn't bother with her.
Xia Ningxi piled a lot of food onto Chu Chu's plate, reminding her, "Children shouldn't be picky eaters, eat more."
"Okay." Chu Chu obediently complied.
Xia Jingcheng said with a smile, "You still have to take care of these kids. They've grown up now, and none of them want to listen to me anymore."
"Uncle is talking nonsense. I've always been obedient," Chu Chu immediately denied.
Xia Jingcheng: "You are very obedient now."
"Hmph, Uncle loves to tattle, that's not good," Chu Chu continued to complain.
Xia Jingcheng smiled and ruffled her hair: "Okay, I was wrong, I'm sorry, don't be angry, okay?"
"That's more like it." A smile finally appeared on the little girl's face.
After many busy days, Xia Ningxi finally got a good rest today. After eating and drinking her fill, she sat in the courtyard watching the moon and enjoying the pleasant evening breeze. It was especially comfortable.
Xia Ningxi didn't need to take care of the children; the three little ones went to the amusement park and had a great time.
Xia Jingcheng ignored them, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Xia Ningxi, asking, "Have you been working hard lately?"
"It's alright," Xia Ningxi replied softly.
Xia Jingcheng said, "You look haggard, you must be having a tough time. I started a company outside, and it's making quite a bit of money lately. If you don't want to continue, come back, and I'll take care of you."
Xia Ningxi smiled at him and said, "How can that be? I love my job. As long as I am still capable, I will never resign."
Xia Jingcheng lowered his eyes: "I'm afraid you're too tired."
"No. I'm practically a leader in the lab. I just need to do my job and take care of my patients. I won't be wronged, so you don't need to worry about me," Xia Ningxi reassured him.
Xia Jingcheng sighed: "I heard that Lin Jiangbei is almost recovered, right?"
"Yes, his reply was indeed quite good. He even told me yesterday that he wanted to debut as a big star. Mrs. Tian was so happy that she immediately opened a talent agency to promote him." Xia Ningxi was very pleased.
Xia Jingcheng said, "If Lin Jiangbei recovers, the Ling family will no longer invest in your laboratory. Tang En told me that if you don't want to go back to Texas, we can find a regular hospital in China to hire you."
“Brother, don’t worry about me. I have plans for my future. Our lab is currently researching targeted drugs, and this is the most crucial time. I don’t want to think too much about anything other than work right now.” Xia Ningxi gave him a reassuring smile.
Tang En's lab is quite good and well-funded. Even without the Ling family's funding, Tang En could still run the lab very well. Xia Ningxi doesn't need to worry about funding; she just needs to focus on working with her team to develop the targeted drug.
They have their own pharmaceutical company, and Tang En has promised to give Xia Ningxi a share of the profits every year. She is not short of money at all, and she would not do anything against her will for money.
In fact, Xia Ningxi knew very well what Xia Jingcheng was worried about. He was worried that Xia Ningxi would compromise for the sake of the laboratory and pretend to be friendly with Ling Xiao, but Xia Ningxi would never do that, and Ling Xiao was not that kind of person either.
Ling Xiao is a very shrewd businessman. Putting aside the fact that he was deceived into marriage by Xia Ningxi back then, everything Ling Xiao has done is for the development of the Ling family. If Xia Ningxi didn't have the ability, the Ling family wouldn't have invested so much money.
They are a powerful alliance, not one side compromising its principles.
Looking at the bright moon in the dark night, Xia Ningxi said, "Brother, I know you are worried about me. Ling Xiao and I have a cooperative relationship. As the world's top medical team, the Ling family cannot give up the opportunity to cooperate. Our relationship will only become closer."
“But I’m worried that the Ling family will make things difficult for you because of the child.” Xia Jingcheng sighed helplessly: “Ling Xiao is, after all, the eldest son of the Ling family. The burden he has to shoulder is unimaginable to us. Since he is unwilling to divorce you, he must also have feelings for you.”
"Hmm." Xia Ningxi responded lightly, not denying Xia Jingcheng's opinion.
Xia Jingcheng asked with concern, "What's your opinion?"
“Focus on your work and do your job well. I told Ling Xiao that if he ever finds someone he likes, he can tell me in advance, and we can get a divorce anytime,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Jingcheng: "But I think Ling Xiao likes you. During this time, he has been very concerned about you. He would send people to protect the children at the kindergarten gate and arrange bodyguards for you. He protects you and the children's safety in every way and silences the gossip outside. He wouldn't go to such lengths if he wasn't sincere."
"I think he might have thought about spending his whole life with you."
Xia Jingcheng spoke very seriously about this last sentence.
Xia Ningxi chuckled: "There are many people who want to spend their lives with me. Li Yancheng once said that as long as I am willing to be with him, he will give me anything. Tang En also said that as long as I am willing to return to Desla, he can give me the shares of the pharmaceutical company."
So many men are pursuing me; I can't possibly agree to them all, nor could I possibly handle them all. Since both sides have a need for cooperation, maintaining the status quo is the best solution for now. Brother, you don't need to worry about my future. I'm not like those who need to depend on men to survive.
She has everything now, and even if she loses everything, she can still carve out a niche for herself with her medical skills.
As for what those men outside are thinking, what does it have to do with Xia Ningxi? Why should she bother with these men?
Feeling the cool evening breeze and a wave of drowsiness washing over her, she said, "I'm tired, I'm going to rest first. I'll leave the child with you, brother."
"Okay." Xia Jingcheng agreed with a smile, and he felt very gratified as he watched Qi Yao's departing figure.
His sister is no longer the person who could be easily manipulated, which is good!
Overjoyed, Xia Jingcheng glanced at his phone. Xia Wenhe had sent him nearly a hundred messages, from pleading at the beginning to becoming enraged and cursing at the end. Everything he saw was so disgusting.
Xia Jingcheng didn't know how Xia Wenhe still had the nerve to contact him.
They had long since severed ties, and the life or death of the Xia family members was no longer their concern!
He dialed Xia Wenhe's number and warned, "Don't bother us anymore, and don't let me know you went to the kindergarten to cause trouble for the children, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Xia Wenhe was furious: "I'm your father, what's wrong with me going to see my own grandchildren?"
Xia Jingcheng sneered: "Didn't Xia Luoluo give you a grandson? Take good care of him. If I see you causing trouble for Ning Xi and the child again, I'll beat you every time I see you."
