Wei Shu followed her gaze. A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he instantly understood what she meant: "!!!!"
As if electrocuted, he quickly let go of Yan Yincheng's arm. Wei Shu wanted to clarify his boss's sexual orientation, but when he saw the kitchen knife in Xu Zixi's hand, he chickened out. So, before Yan Yincheng could react, he got him out of the kitchen.
Lord Yan felt that what Xu Zixi said just now was not something nice, and he kept brooding over it. As soon as he returned to the living room, he asked:
"What did she mean just now? Was she mocking me for being unable to have children? Does she not know whether I can or not? Otherwise, where did these two kids come from?"
Wei Shu looked around, not daring to meet his boss's innocent and inquisitive face. Finally, he could only mumble in response: "Maybe... maybe."
How dared he tell the truth! How could he!
Was he supposed to tell Lord Yan that the mother of his two sons thought he was gay? Given Lord Yan's temper, he would probably tear down the whole building!
What on earth gave Miss Yuan the illusion that he and Lord Yan were a couple? Wuwuwu, why, as an assistant, did he have to bear this kind of pressure...
Wei Shu kept reviewing in his mind what he had done to cause such misunderstandings, and swore that he must keep a distance from his boss in the future. He didn't notice at all that Yan Yincheng's face beside him had darkened a few more shades. The strangest thing was that his fair ears like white jade were slowly turning red.
Humph. He knew it. That woman was full of tricks. She must be playing hard - to - get with him.
On the surface, she was mocking him for being unable to have children, but in fact, she was trying to seduce him, right?
Yesterday, she had a man running around for her, and today she was playing this game with him. What a fickle woman.
"Uncle Grumpy, please don't make my mommy angry, okay?"
Suddenly, a little milky voice full of grievance came from in front.
Yan Yincheng was stunned for a moment and reflexively denied: "I didn't make her angry. I was just telling the truth. She's not good to you guys. She even made you clean up your toys by yourselves!"
"No!" Yuan Xiaoxu, who had been playing with the unassembled Lego, rushed in front of Yan Yincheng angrily after hearing this. "You're not allowed to say bad things about my mommy. My mommy is the best mommy in the whole world. She calls me baby, hugs me to sleep, kisses my cheek, and makes a lot of delicious food! You made my mommy angry. You're the bad guy!"
Yan Yincheng: "I—"
Yuan Xiaoxuan clenched his small fists, and his expression was also very determined: "Mommy is very good to us. We love mommy very much, and mommy loves us too. She made us clean up our toys because mommy said that a man should learn to do his own things. Uncle Grumpy doesn't know. Mommy has raised the two of us by herself and has to do everything. She's actually very hard - working. So no one is allowed to say she's not good, not even Uncle Grumpy who once helped us."
He was so small, but what he said and his manner were like that of an adult, and his logic in the argument was extremely clear.
"Yes, not allowed!" Yuan Xiaoxu repeated what his brother said like a parrot. "If you say bad things about my mommy again, we won't let you come to our house to play in the future!"
Taking Yuan Xiaoxu's hand, Yuan Xiaoxuan said: "Brother, let's go clean up our toys."
"Okay, brother."
Wei Shu clearly saw that when Yuan Xiaoxuan turned around and left, there was disappointment in his eyes that a child of his age hadn't yet learned to hide.
Was he disappointed in Lord Yan? Wei Shu's heart skipped a beat. This was bad. They were disappointed even before they recognized their father. If they knew that Lord Yan was their biological father, with their protective nature, wouldn't Lord Yan never have a chance?
Yan Yincheng was really stunned. He was scolded by the two kids and forgot to think. It was a long time before he came to his senses, but his heart became extremely complicated.
Could it be that he really misunderstood? But he had hired the best detective in Country C, and the result of the investigation couldn't be wrong. She had indeed beaten the two kids before.
Could it be that she threatened the two kids to beautify her in front of outsiders to maintain her good image?
Should he believe the investigation report or the words of the two kids?
In the kitchen, Xu Zixi didn't know that the two kids outside were protecting her in their own way. She was completely immersed in the fun of making steamed buns for the two kids with her own hands and had already thrown the previous episode out of her mind. They were just two irrelevant people. They weren't worth her trouble. Miss Xu's anger came and went quickly.
Because she had told the two kids the story of the little ponies on the grassland yesterday, when wrapping the stuffing with the dough, Xu Zixi suddenly had an idea. She changed the originally round soup dumplings into the shapes of various small animals like little rabbits and little foxes, and used other ingredients for decoration. They looked so cute in the steamer. Thinking of the reaction of the two kids when they opened the steamer, Miss Xu's face was also full of smiles.
She lit the fire, set the time, and the buns started to steam!
After 5 minutes, the water boiled, and the steam began to surge up; after 10 minutes, the aroma of the food came out of the steamer. First, it filled the whole kitchen, and then it crossed the door threshold and wafted outside domineeringly.
After scolding the annoying Uncle Grumpy, the two kids really didn't give Yan Yincheng and Wei Shu on the sofa an extra look. Smelling this smell, they were extremely excited and ran towards the kitchen chattering and laughing.
Grabbing Wei Shu in a bit of a panic, Yan Yincheng asked: "Wei Shu, go and see for me. Are the two kids really happy?"
Wei Shu responded and got up to quietly walk outside the kitchen door and look inside. The two kids were surrounding Xu Zixi, making a fuss to see the legendary "soup dumplings". Xu Zixi's face was full of helpless but doting smiles. She didn't satisfy the two kids but patiently reasoned with them, saying that the steam was very hot and dangerous and asking them to wait outside.
It seemed... indeed... not quite like the rumored one who hated and beat the kids...
Could the investigation report have been tampered with?
Back on the sofa, Wei Shu told Yan Yincheng what he had seen. After hearing this, Yan Yincheng also showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Coming, coming! The buns are steamed. Sorry to keep you waiting!"
A clear and melodious female voice gradually approached from afar, interrupting Yan Yincheng's train of thought. He smelled the alluring aroma in the air, and his hungry stomach immediately conveyed a strong desire to eat to him.
"You'll never guess what kind of surprise today's soup dumplings will bring."
"Ta - da! How about it? Pretty, right?"
"Wow! So pretty! Mommy, is this the soup dumpling?"
"Mommy has improved the soup dumplings and made them into the shapes of small animals. Guess what kind of small animal has long ears and red eyes?"
Yan Yincheng's handsome face involuntarily turned towards the direction of the voice. His curiosity was piqued by Xu Zixi's words and the aroma of the food.
What kind of animal has long ears and red eyes?
