A moment later, in a high - end men's underwear store in Haicheng Shopping Center.
Lord Yan walked into the store, jerked his chin towards Wei Shu and said, "Pick out all the swim trunks here. Help me see which one will make her stare at me, instantly fall head - over - heels for me and be completely infatuated with me once I put it on."
As soon as his voice fell, Wei Shu and several bodyguards immediately sprang into action.
"Lord Yan! I think this one with coconut tree and ocean wave prints is great. It's cute and lively. It'll instantly make you look five years younger!" A Wei held up a pair of printed swim trunks and said.
The words "five years younger" made Yan Yincheng puff out his chest a bit. "Oh? Really? Buy it!" Although he was only twenty - nine, in terms of seniority, Zi Xi was a generation younger than him. The fact that she used to call him "Uncle Yan" along with Yan Zhen always bothered him. It made him feel old.
"Lord Yan! I still think a man should dress more steadily and maturely. This black - and - red one is perfect. Black and red are both noble imperial colors. Once you put it on, all the other men there will be outshone! It'll definitely impress Miss Yuan!" A Biao gave a thumbs - up.
"No no no, I think this one is better! The black - and - red combination is so out of date. How could you recommend such a style to Lord Yan? It's so old - fashioned. We should dress younger! That's what the girls like these days!" A Wei retorted.
A Meng silently handed over a pair of leopard - print swim trunks and said, "A real man wears leopard print."
Wei Shu slapped each of them on the head and said, "What kind of taste do you all have! Are you here to make jokes?! In my opinion, Lord Yan, you'd better just wear the gray - and - black checked swim trunks. It's classic and won't go wrong."
A Wei said, "That's too ordinary!"
"Put on mine. The Blazing God of War, invincible!"
"Put on mine! The snow - mountain print. Our Lord Yan is a cold and aloof male god!"
"Put on mine!"
Hearing them almost fight over which style he should wear, Yan Yincheng frowned and waved his hand. "Buy them all!"
When he got home, Yan Yincheng started trying on the swim trunks one by one.
Since he couldn't see, he could only judge whether the swim trunks on him were suitable or not based on the reactions of Wei Shu and the bodyguards. However, every time he changed into a new pair, those guys would say in high - pitched voices full of worship and praise:
"Lord Yan, you look so handsome in this! Miss Yuan will surely be smitten!"
"This pair of swim trunks is also very nice. Lord Yan is indeed the dream man of thousands of girls in Fengcheng!"
"Lord Yan looks so domineering in this! So handsome!"
The exaggerated tones gave Yan Yincheng goosebumps all over.
Yan Yincheng gave up asking these sycophants who were as fickle as the grass on the wall for advice. After careful consideration, the coconut - tree and ocean - wave printed swim trunks that could "make him look five years younger", the "Blazing God of War" one and the "classic checked" one finally won Lord Yan's favor and were packed into the suitcase.
Still wearing the "real man" leopard - print swim trunks recommended by A Meng, Yan Yincheng reached out and felt his pectoral muscles and abs. He asked Wei Shu somewhat uncertainly, "Wei Shu, help me take a look. Have my pectoral muscles gotten a bit smaller than before? And what about my eight - pack abs? Are they still there?"
Wei Shu hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "Lord Yan, there are only four abs left."
Yan Yincheng's nerves immediately tightened. What? Only four left?! This won't do! In the TV dramas, when the male lead showed up in the hot - spring resort, it was his six - pack abs that attracted the female lead's attention and finally got him the chance to get close to her and successfully win her heart. He couldn't let that fool in the TV drama outshine him!
He must have abs! And there had to be eight of them!
There were still three days until the weekend! He was sure he could build his eight - pack abs back up.
While Lord Yan was sweating profusely, tortured by the ab - ripper exercises, on the other side, after dinner, Xu Zixi calmly announced to the two kids that they were going to the hot - spring resort on the weekend.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but jump up high from his chair and hugged Yuan Xiaoxu.
"Great!! Brother, we can go to the hot - spring resort!"
"Yay! Xiaoxu can eat delicious food again!"
Xu Zixi was amused by them. She stroked their little heads and asked, "Are you so happy? If Mommy tells you that you may run into Uncle Yin at the hot - spring resort, will you be even happier?"
Although he had already guessed it, Yuan Xiaoxuan still couldn't control the look on his face. Expectation and excitement showed on it. "Really?"
He knew that Uncle Yin was so amazing that he must be able to make it happen! In the TV drama, the little kid's mom and dad got back together at the hot - spring resort! Did this mean that he and his brother would soon have a dad?
"Really." Xu Zixi squatted down in front of the two kids and said softly, "Babies, Mommy knows that you both like Uncle Yin. This time when we go to the hot - spring resort, Mommy won't stop you from seeing Uncle Yin or getting close to him. But just remember our promise and come back to Mommy, okay?"
She knew that she was actually very contradictory. She didn't want the two kids to be the victims of the adults' emotional entanglements, but she also hoped that they only had her in their hearts. In fact, such thoughts were quite selfish, weren't they?
But it was her first time being a mom, and she could only do this much.
Yuan Xiaoxuan very obediently put away his joy, grabbed Xu Zixi's hand and whispered,
"Mommy, don't worry. Baby won't go with Uncle Yin. Brother, right?"
Yuan Xiaoxu waved his little hand knowingly and said, "Xiaoxu will bring the water gun this time and make Uncle Yin all wet!"
Remembering that the kids once said they had squirted Yan Yincheng into a drowned rat with the water gun, Xu Zixi burst out laughing. The knots in her heart instantly vanished, and she inexplicably felt full of anticipation for the upcoming hot - spring trip.
"Then you two have to protect Mommy! Mommy's little knights~"
She pinched the two kids' little cheeks and smiled with her eyes bent.
Then she mentioned the hot - spring trip to the two maids. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li were a bit embarrassed. "Miss, we're both so old. We're really not that enthusiastic about this kind of thing. And there will be many of your colleagues there that day. It's really not appropriate for us to show up. We'd better stay and look after the house for you."
"It's okay. You've both been working hard with me during this period. This time, just go and relax. Moreover, there will be a lot of people there that day. It'll be hard for me to take care of the two kids all by myself. With you two around, you can help me out."
After Xu Zixi finished speaking, she gave them a meaningful look.
Aunt Zhang immediately understood and didn't decline anymore. She patted her chest and nodded. "Okay, Miss. Don't worry. We'll definitely watch over the two young masters for you! We won't let anyone with bad intentions get close to them! If anyone dares to come, I'll use my broom on them!"
At night, Xu Zixi's phone suddenly started vibrating like crazy. She picked it up and saw that the small group chat of her, Dai Sha, Huang Zhenzhen and Zhou Yaru was bombarding the screen with messages.
