On the way, Brother Hu kept a close eye on the rear - view mirror. When he didn't see that annoying luxury car following them, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Trying to act casually, Brother Hu asked, "Miss, I just seemed to see that pretty boy surnamed Yan. Did he go into the Japanese restaurant with you? Didn't he do anything to you?"
"A blind man, what could he do to me?" Xu Zixi replied. "Instead, he got splashed all over with soup."
He was also almost framed and harassed.
Just thinking about that inexplicable woman trying to get close to him again and again made her itch to punch someone. Humph, luckily he knew how to dodge and could tell that woman had bad intentions. If he had been as clueless as Pei Mingyuan and couldn't recognize that white - lotus's tricks, she really would have turned around and left just now. Whether he got splashed with hot soup or scalded with boiling water, he would have deserved it!
"Who did it? Was it you, Miss? You did a great job!" Hu Yuankang was extremely excited. Just thinking about that pretty boy made his shoulder ache faintly. Hehe, now he was getting his comeuppance!
Xu Zixi's ears turned slightly red. She coughed softly twice. She couldn't help thinking: Look, even Brother Hu's first reaction when he heard that the guy got splashed with soup was that it served him right, but she had stepped forward to protect him just now.
She must have been bewitched by his sleeping face and gone crazy. She had even forgotten all the outrageous things he had done. It must be so!
Inside the Maybach, a strong smell of miso soup wafted from the clothes. In the enclosed space, it was especially pungent. In the past, Yan Yincheng would have taken off his clothes and thrown them away long ago, but now he seemed not to smell it at all. He still wore the dripping coat, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help turning up. He was smiling like a fool.
"That Hu Yuankang actually dared to give us the middle finger! It seems he didn't get beaten hard enough last time! Next time, I'll smash his head in!" Wei Shu cursed. Looking back and seeing the mysterious smile on his Third Master's face, Wei Shu choked for a moment. He thought to himself that the Third Master couldn't have been scalded stupid by that soup, could he?
"Third Master, are you really scalded? Should we go to the hospital?"
"Wei Shu, did you see? Zixi just stood up to protect me."
Wei Shu was helpless. "Third Master, you've said this for the tenth time."
Yan Yincheng didn't even hear his words. He took off his wet coat and murmured to himself, "This coat is great. It brought me good luck twice today. I'm going to hang it up as a souvenir."
Wei Shu put his hand on his forehead. His Third Master was probably really scalded stupid.
Yan Yincheng said, "By the way, Wei Shu, send someone to check how many properties that guy surnamed Hu has. Find out where she lives now, and then buy the house in the opposite building at the same position. I'd better be able to move in tonight."
It seemed that Zixi didn't hate him as much as he thought. Maybe he could try harder. He shouldn't even think about living opposite her like before, but he could live in a house opposite hers! Third Master Yan thought happily in his heart, perfectly interpreting the phrase "be insatiable".
Xu Zixi carried two boxes of Japanese pastries back home and was immediately pounced on by the two kids.
"Mummy, mummy, you're back! Why didn't you come back for dinner with us tonight?"
Yuan Xiaoxu's sharp eyes spotted the delicate and beautiful boxes in her hand. His eyes lit up. "What's in mummy's hand?"
Xu Zixi said with a smile, "It's a special dessert for you. Try it quickly!"
The two kids carried the pastry boxes to the living room. After opening them, Yuan Xiaoxu drooled over the dorayaki. But after tasting it, he frowned and said, "It's not delicious! It's not as delicious as mummy's little cakes!"
Xu Zixi was a little surprised. She couldn't help thinking of Yan Yincheng's behavior in the Japanese restaurant, spitting out every bite he took and complaining non - stop. She didn't expect that Yuan Xiaoxu had perfectly inherited his pickiness. His reaction was exactly the same.
Yuan Xiaoxu threw himself into Xu Zixi's arms and rubbed against her. "Mummy, mummy, Xiaoxu wants to eat your little cakes!"
Yuan Xiaoxuan also raised his little hand and said, "Mummy, mummy, Xuanxuan wants to eat egg tarts!"
Being called mummy affectionately by the two little cuties, Xu Zixi felt her heart melt. All the tiredness of the day seemed to disappear at this moment. She hugged the two kids and kissed them on the cheeks. Then she said, "But what should I do? Mummy can't make little cakes and egg tarts at the same time, and Aunt Li has already gone home. How about... you kids help mummy, okay?"
Yuan Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously. "Okay! Xuanxuan can do it! Xuanxuan will help mummy!"
As soon as the topic of work came up, Yuan Xiaoxu's eyes started to wander. "Xiaoxu is stupid. Xiaoxu can't..."
Xu Zixi grabbed Yuan Xiaoxu who was trying to sneak away and said with a smile, "Don't run away. If you want to eat little cakes, you have to do it yourself!"
Before long, Yuan Xiaoxu, who had wanted to be lazy, completely fell in love with kneading dough. When Yuan Xiaoxuan had already kneaded his own little dough according to the steps taught by Xu Zixi and turned around, he saw that Yuan Xiaoxu's head, face and body were all covered with flour. The sticky and wet dough was being kneaded into all kinds of shapes in his hands, making him giggle.
"Brother, this is the little dog Xiaoxu made. Xiaoxu gives it to you!"
Yuan Xiaoxu handed a lump of dough to Yuan Xiaoxuan.
Yuan Xiaoxuan: "..." Is this a little dog? Isn't this just a ball?
Taking away the lump of dough, Yuan Xiaoxuan said, "Brother, little dogs aren't kneaded like this. Come on, brother will teach you."
Xu Zixi watched the two kids putting their heads together and kneading dough. She felt warm inside. Who wouldn't like such cute kids? She could clearly feel that Yan Yincheng also liked and cared about them very much. Leaving aside the fact that he had deceived her, if they were really two people who had never met before and got married for the sake of interests, he should also be able to play the role of a father well, right?
Shaking her head to get rid of the thoughts in her mind, she stepped forward with a smile, wiped the flour off Yuan Xiaoxu's face, and said with a frown, "Baby Xiaoxu, your dough is ruined. We can't make little cakes tonight."
Only then did Yuan Xiaoxu realize that he seemed to have messed up the little cakes. He said aggrievedly, "What should I do, mummy?"
He pursed his lips, his little face was chubby, and his big bright eyes blinked. Somehow, Xu Zixi thought of the person who had given her the lifetime free VIP card in the Japanese restaurant just now. At this moment, the faces of the father and son overlapped.
Xu Zixi rubbed Xiaoxu's chubby cheeks, ruining his extremely innocent expression, and said helplessly, "Then mummy has to make it all over again!"
An hour later, the aroma of the cake filled the whole house. Yuan Xiaoxu stared longingly at the kitchen. His saliva was dripping. It smelled so good! His mummy was the best mummy in the world!
Before long, Xu Zixi came out with the freshly baked little cakes and egg tarts. The cakes were spread with a layer of homemade blueberry jam by Xu Zixi, and there were also a few slices of fresh strawberries on them. They looked delicious and attractive.
Leaning on her chin, watching the kids enjoying the desserts she had made, Xu Zixi smiled contentedly and happily.
After eating the cakes, she and Aunt Zhang gave the two kids a bath together. Then she carried them to bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and read them a bedtime story. Opening the storybook, Xu Zixi read, "The story mummy is going to read to you today is called 'The Little Devil and the Little Bread'. Once upon a time, there was an old woodcutter. He was very poor. He would take a piece of bread with him every time he went out to cut wood. One day, the old man went to cut wood. He put the little bread in a tree hole, and then it was taken away by the little devil..."
After reading the story, Yuan Xiaoxuan said obediently, "Mummy, Xuanxuan will also be a good boy like the little devil and try to help the old man in the future."
Yuan Xiaoxu said, "But brother, Teacher Chen said that grandpa is daddy's daddy. We don't have a daddy, so of course we don't have a grandpa either!"
