Chapter 216 My Heart Can't Take It
Shen Jiheng's recent actions have been recognized by the Gu family. As for the two children, Yu Mo already liked him, and Yu Xuan has gradually changed his attitude towards him.
The most difficult person to deal with right now is still Han Xi, but Shen Jiheng knows that the distance between the two is closing. However, Han Xi is still shy about what happened last night and deliberately uses indifference to cover it up.
Han Xi coughed lightly and reminded him, "Apart from taking care of the child, try to avoid contact with other people."
Shen Jiheng nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Can you stop being angry?"
Han Xi turned her head away. She really felt ashamed. How could she have done those things on her own initiative? If she were sober, she would want to slap herself twice.
Han Xi walked into the yard and saw the two children with smiling faces, and Han Yumo was also holding the kitten and couldn't put it down.
Why didn't she think of that before? She could actually find some different kinds of playmates for her daughter.
Han Xi knelt down in front of her daughter and asked gently, "Does Yumo like cats?"
Han Yumo nodded and smiled happily, "I like it, the cat is so cute."
It's really rare that she can answer questions promptly and express her emotions.
“Our Yumo is cute too, so have you named the kitten yet?”
Han Yumo looked at her with some confusion, clearly not understanding what she meant.
Shen Jiheng squatted down on her other side and stroked her head as he explained.
“When Yumo was born, she didn’t have a name, so your mother named her Yumo. Now the kittens don’t have names either. Since you are their owner, you should give them names.”
Shen Jiheng turned to Han Xi and said, "Letting the child think for herself will help her."
Han Xi nodded, looking at her expectantly, and said, "There's no need to rush. You can take your time to think of many names you like, and then choose one for the kitten."
Han Yumo shook her head and said, "But I don't know how."
Han Xi encouraged, "It's okay, Mom can help you think of one and then choose a nice one for you, how about that?"
"Dad, join in too, let's think of more names for the kittens, okay?" Of course, Shen Jiheng is indispensable in this kind of parent-child activity.
Han Yumo nodded happily, "Great, my kitten can have a name now."
Shen Jiheng picked her up and lifted her up, making Han Yumo laugh heartily.
Han Xi suddenly realized that Shen Jiheng had silently entered their world and opened the children's hearts.
Han Yuxuan ran forward, raised her hand, and excitedly shouted, "I want to fly high too, higher than my sister!"
"Okay, Dad will let you experience a new level."
Shen Jiheng gently put his daughter down, picked up Han Yuxuan and threw her into the air, startling Han Xixin so much that she jumped out of the air.
I thought Han Yuxuan would be scared and cry, but she shouted even more excitedly.
Although Shen Jiheng caught the child safely, Han Xi was still on edge in the absence of safety measures.
"Shen Jiheng, can you be a little gentler? My heart can't take it like this."
Shen Jiheng turned to look at the two children and laughed heartily, "Tell me, can you handle it?"
Han Yumo bounced around on the spot, smiling brightly, and said, "I want to fly like my brother too."
Han Xi was completely speechless; she had really worried for nothing.
However, seeing Shen Jiheng's way of raising children is like seeing the legendary different ways of raising sons and daughters.
He held Han Yumo very gently, as if he was afraid of hurting the child.
But for Han Yuxuan, it seems that all that matters is survival.
Han Xi wanted to stop them, but the two children were having so much fun that her words would be in the way.
A shout came from inside the house: "Han Xi, go back inside and keep Grandma company. Let the father and son play."
Han Xi completely admitted defeat, and was still shaking his head and sighing when he returned to his room.
Grandma Gu smiled and said, "Boys just like to play those exciting games, so they need their fathers' company. Girls need their father's love even more. Look at her, she's been happy every day since Ji Heng came."
Han Xi understood her grandmother's meaning; judging from Shen Jiheng's recent performance, he was indeed quite good.
"Han Xi, have you considered getting back together?"
"Not yet. We need to observe him for a while longer before drawing conclusions."
Grandma Gu had a knowing look on her face, but she didn't say anything. She knew that her granddaughter was about to pass away.
Han Xi looked out the window and saw the father and his two sons playing, and a feeling of happiness welled up in her heart.
Once upon a time, this was the scene she most longed for.
Before they knew it, the old lady's birthday banquet was approaching. Madam Shen made several phone calls, asking them and their son to move in a day early so that the old lady could meet her children sooner.
Although Shen Jiheng was living at the Gu family's house, he didn't mention this matter at all, seemingly because he didn't want to put Han Xi in a difficult position.
He truly respected her wishes in everything and never forced her to do anything.
Han Xi agreed to bring the child over a day early, and has been searching everywhere for a birthday gift for the old lady these past two days.
Han Xi hurriedly processed documents at the company, as she was going to the Shen family's old residence tomorrow, and she definitely wouldn't be able to return to the company for the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow.
"Knock knock knock, Mr. Han, this is the West Lake Longjing tea you asked me to buy. I just got it back."
Han Xi knew that the old lady liked to drink tea, so he had someone keep an eye out for Longjing tea these past few days and selected the best quality to bring over tomorrow.
"Thanks. I won't be at the office for the next couple of days, so call me if you need anything."
"Okay, Mr. Han, have fun."
Han Xi nodded with a smile, but she felt a little uneasy. She would have been happy to go to the old house if it was just a normal visit.
But if she goes to such a big event as an ex-wife, with two children, the guests will definitely gossip.
In addition, there are some people she doesn't want to see, and their conversations are insincere and meaningless.
When they returned to the Gu family home that evening, the two children were quite excited to hear that they were going to see their great-grandmother the next day and kept asking her about it.
Fortunately, Shen Jiheng was present, and Han Xi gave him the opportunity to answer.
Ding Shan came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. "Han Xi, come to the kitchen."
Han Xi walked into the kitchen and smelled a sweet aroma. She asked curiously, "Auntie, what delicious food did you make that made you call me in?"
Ding Shan took out some beautiful birthday cakes from the oven and began to speak gently.
"It's Grandma Shen's birthday banquet, and our Gu family will definitely do something to celebrate. But she doesn't lack anything. These birthday cakes are the favorite food of her generation. I was thinking of making some extra for you to take over tomorrow so that everyone can have a taste."
Han Xi said with emotion, "Aunt, you are so thoughtful. Thank you in advance. Grandma will definitely like it very much."
There are all sorts of gifts for the old lady's birthday banquet, but carefully made birthday cakes will surely win her heart.
Ding Shan picked up a plate and put out a few dishes, smiling as she said, "This is all the skill I have. Everyone, please try it first. If you like it, I'll bake another box for the nanny to pack for you tomorrow."
Han Xi's face was full of gratitude. She had been worried that Ding Shan would blame her, but now it seemed that she had been worrying too much.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll take it out for the children to try."
"Okay, if there's anything missing, just let me know."
Han Xixing nodded and left excitedly, completely unaware that Ding Shan had changed her attitude after she left.
