Li Hanting gazed intently at her, his thin lips parting slightly, "I have no relationship with her, nor are we childhood sweethearts."
He didn't want his wife to misunderstand.
"Okay, okay, it's alright. Can you let go of me first? I can't breathe like this."
Su Jingjing couldn't listen to anything. She was enveloped by the man's hormonal scent, and she felt her cheeks burning. She was sure her bottom would turn red.
Up close, the man seemed even more handsome, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist kissing him.
Li Hanting was another one who couldn't resist. Looking into the woman's doe-like eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and he felt as if his whole body was burning with fire.
The two stared at each other, seemingly lost in each other's eyes.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang.
Su Jingjing reflexively pushed the man away from her, pretended to straighten her clothes, and then looked up at the door, where she saw two children standing there with blank expressions.
The moment there was a noise at the door, Li Hanting's brows furrowed involuntarily, as if he were blaming his son for appearing, while his daughter was automatically ignored by him.
"An'an and Yuanyuan are back?"
Su Jingjing composed herself, then patted her head; she realized she hadn't cooked lunch yet.
Li Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes; she seemed to see her parents hugging each other.
"Mom, what were you and Dad doing just now? Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
As she spoke, she earnestly reached out her little hand to touch it, and it was really hot!
"Cough cough cough..."
Su Jingjing almost choked on her saliva. Sure enough, the two children had seen it. Yuanyuan was confused and easy to fool, but An'an was precocious and nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
The boy looked over silently, seemingly aware of what had happened, clearly showing that he was more mature than the adults.
She paused, unsure how to explain in front of An'an.
She hurriedly took her daughter's little hand down, held it in her palm, and smiled, "Mommy's okay, it was probably just too hot."
Although Li Hanting enjoyed seeing his wife's adorable expression, he couldn't bear to see her troubled by her daughter's innocent remarks.
"Mom's hair had a little something stuck to it, and Dad fixed it for her. It was that simple."
"Oh, I see."
The little guy sighed deeply, agreeing with his father.
Su Jingjing subconsciously looked at the man, pursed her lips, unsure whether to thank him or scold him for being the culprit. If he hadn't refused to let go, she wouldn't have ended up in such an awkward situation.
Li Hanting raised an eyebrow at his wife, which only provoked her to glare at him angrily.
A wife's anger is always adorable.
She clenched her fist and pressed it to her lips, then looked down at the two children.
"Mom was busy today, so she didn't cook. Dad went to the cafeteria to get food first."
Upon hearing this, Su Jingjing forgot about being angry with the man and quickly apologized to the two children.
"An'an and Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, Mom didn't cook today."
Li Yuanyuan hugged her mother's neck and said affectionately, "Mom, it's okay, Yuanyuan also likes eating in the cafeteria."
"Brother, do you also like eating in the cafeteria?"
After speaking, she looked at her brother, hoping he would agree with her.
Li Cheng'an glanced at the woman opposite him, then looked away a second later, and said with feigned arrogance, "Well, eating in the cafeteria occasionally isn't bad."
Li Yuanyuan immediately beamed and said to her father with a smile, "Dad, hurry up and get the food, Yuanyuan is hungry."
After saying that, he patted his flat stomach.
Li Hanting was particularly pleased with his daughter's coquettishness, having inherited his wife's spoiled nature.
Li Cheng'an's eyes darted around, and he said to his father, "Dad, I'll go with you to get food."
He then ran to the kitchen to get a lunchbox.
The children's actions warmed Su Jingjing's heart. Perhaps God had sent her to save An'an and Yuanyuan. Such lovely children shouldn't have such a tragic fate.
Watching the father and son's backs, An'an greatly admired men and followed them everywhere. However, An'an's ending in the book was not good.
Although this child is highly intelligent and a successful businessman with considerable wealth, he has never experienced maternal love since childhood due to the original owner's circumstances. Later, he became completely corrupted and deep-seated. Even when he met the woman he loved, he did not know how to love her. The two tormented each other and went through one year after another.
The father and son walked on the wide road, their steps exactly the same, as if they were cut from the same mold.
The loud training sounds of soldiers could be heard from time to time.
Li Hanting's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced down at his son, casually asking, "An'an, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
An An's exceptionally high IQ destined him for an extraordinary life; despite his young age, his mind is as profound as that of an adult.
Only in front of Yuanyuan would he truly show a smile.
Have you ever thought about joining the army?
Li Hanting actually knew that this was unlikely, because An'an was usually more interested in science books.
Li Cheng'an stopped and looked up at his father. After a moment's hesitation, he asked cautiously, "Dad, can I tell you the truth?"
In his heart, his father was not only a relative, but also someone he had always admired.
"Sure, say whatever you want to say."
"I want to go into business in the future."
This was the first time Li Cheng'an had spoken his mind. He was quite sensitive to numbers and was also fascinated by arithmetic.
My father and grandfather were soldiers, and my uncle was an official, but he wanted to go into business in the future.
Li Hanting never expected his son to want to take a different path.
However, he wouldn't interfere, as long as An An is happy.
Li Cheng'an asked uncertainly, "Dad, do you want me to join the army?"
His grandfather had told him more than once that he should join the army, but he didn't want to upset his grandfather, so he never told him his own thoughts.
Li Hanting rubbed his son's head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "No, as long as it's reasonable, Dad will support it."
"Let's go, isn't your little sister hungry?"
"Okay, sure."
Li Cheng'an responded crisply, "Dad is so open-minded."
The father and son arrived at the dining hall, immediately attracting everyone's attention, and they all saluted Li Hanting.
The soldiers eating in the mess hall were all single. They couldn't help but wonder, "Commander Li hasn't come to get food for two weeks. Why didn't his wife cook today?"
Everyone in the army knows that Commander Li's wife is a lazy woman who only knows how to spend money on dressing up all day long and doesn't care about her family at all, let alone doing laundry and cooking.
However, they didn't dare to openly observe him, only daring to speculate in their hearts, as Commander Li was known for his ruthlessness and iron-fisted nature.
Even so, Li Hanting could still sense everyone's curiosity, but he seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't take it to heart.
Besides, he also felt sorry for his wife doing the laundry and cooking every day, so it seems he really needs to learn how to cook properly.
