Yan Yincheng felt that he had never experienced such a nerve - wracking moment in both his lives.
As soon as he got out of the car, his heart skipped a beat. He was eager to see everyone's reaction.
He remembered that the first time he met Zi Xi and the two kids was in that damp seafood market.
The sudden fish that slapped him in the face made her notice him accidentally. But he was in such a mess at that time that he didn't leave a good impression on her.
For this day, he had been preparing since dawn. He changed countless outfits before finally choosing this one. His goal was to appear in front of Xu Zixi with an absolute advantage, so that there would never be room for any other man in her eyes.
His entrance this time was indeed high - profile and eye - catching. Whether it was his aura, temperament or appearance, everything was at its peak. He instantly outshone Brother Hu beside him.
Moreover, the other two bodyguards who got out of the car behind him were also instantly ignored.
On - site, Daisa gasped sharply and couldn't help blurting out, "Mr. Yan is so handsome today!"
Teacher Chen nodded, "This young man is really energetic."
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li (looking at him like he was a prospective son - in - law): "Not bad."
Yuan Xiaoxu also chimed in, "Uncle Yin is better - looking than Uncle Tiger! Xiaoxu likes him so much!"
Brother Hu peeked around furtively and found that Zhou Yaru... had an amazed look on her face. Brother Hu was annoyed, extremely annoyed!!
This pretty - boy named Yan had stolen his thunder as soon as he showed up!
How vain! Dressed so flamboyantly! Just like a peacock! He was not as good as himself!
As for Miss Xu...
With difficulty pulling herself out of the sight of this handsome man, Xu Zixi didn't even notice that her heart was beating a bit faster. She glanced at Daisa, whose cheeks were flushed with excitement, grabbed her shoulders and turned her around. "Come on, let's go in quickly to put our luggage and then find a place to eat!"
After waiting for so long, he didn't get the admiration he expected. Third Master Yan panicked instantly. What was going on? Everyone else was praising his good looks, but Zixi was unmoved?
He didn't dare to act high - and - mighty anymore. He quickly propped up his blind stick and chased after her.
"Zixi, is your luggage heavy? Do you need my help?" He said with a beaming smile as he followed Xu Zixi.
Xu Zixi gave Aunt Zhang a look. Aunt Zhang immediately blocked his approach with her plump body and said with a smile, "Mr. Yan, with me here, you don't have to trouble yourself."
Aunt Zhang's tone reminded Yan Yincheng of that broom. He couldn't help touching his butt and felt a bit embarrassed. But for his own plan, he still closely followed them.
However, since his attention was completely on Xu Zixi and the two kids, Yan Yincheng accidentally stumbled on the steps and almost fell.
The two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, "Third Master, are you okay?"
Yan Yincheng waved his hand to stop them and said, "It's okay. Just a minor stumble."
Xu Zixi turned around and saw that he was slightly bent over, rubbing his knee gently. There were also some stains on his clean trouser legs.
She couldn't help but stop. Yuan Xiaoxuan seemed to sense something and looked up at her. Seeing hope on her face, he asked,
"Mummy, Teacher Chen said that we should be good kids who are willing to help others. Can I help Uncle Yin?"
Teacher Chen was the person around Xu Zixi who had the least contact with Yan Yincheng. When the two were engaged and living together, she went to teach the two kids every day but hardly ever saw Yan Yincheng. So her impression of him only stayed at the engagement ceremony when he solemnly presented the engagement ring to Xu Zixi.
Later, when she learned about the entanglement between the two of them, Teacher Chen didn't react as fiercely as Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li. So she was the most rational one among them all.
Since she was mentioned by the kid, she said to Xu Zixi, "Miss, anyway, it's always right to teach kids to be kind - hearted."
Everyone was looking at Xu Zixi. Their looks seemed to imply that she was being unreasonable if she didn't agree. She sighed inwardly. In fact, she didn't intend to stop Yuan Xiaoxuan in the first place. So she let go of her hand, stroked Yuan Xiaoxuan's hair and said softly,
"Go ahead, baby."
With Mummy's permission, Yuan Xiaoxuan ran to Yan Yincheng like a flash, grabbed his right hand and said, "Uncle Yin, can Xuanxuan hold your hand?"
Brother is so bad! Why didn't he say hello to me before going to Uncle Yin!
Yuan Xiaoxu was anxious when he saw this. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yan Yincheng's other hand, "I want to too! Uncle Yin, hold my hand!"
Yan Yincheng didn't expect the two kids to come and support him on their own initiative, let alone that Xu Zixi would be willing to let the two kids leave her side. Holding the two kids' little hands that were as soft as cotton, he raised his head in the direction where Xu Zixi was. The heart that was beating non - stop in his chest was now full of indescribable emotions.
He could feel that the distance between him and her was no longer as far as before.
The hot - spring resort was really a good place!
Lowering his head, Yan Yincheng said softly to the two kids, "Thank you, Xuanxuan and Xiaoxu."
The two kids only reached the middle of Yan Yincheng's legs. The steps of the hot - spring resort were like an insurmountable chasm for the three - year - olds. But they were so hard - working. Holding his hands on either side, they took small steps and guided him up step by step.
This scene was warm and touching. They looked just like all the close father - son pairs in the world. Xu Zixi stared at them for a while and then forced herself to look away and walked inside. As the only one who was in the dark, Daisa couldn't help looking back again and again.
Why did she feel...
Mr. Yan actually looked quite similar to Yuan Xiaoxuan? Could it be...
A flash of inspiration hit Daisa. She remembered the ring that Xu Zixi always wore on her chest, the award - ceremony of the design competition, and Mr. Yan's recent actions towards Xiaoxi. She suddenly realized what was going on. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from crying out.
Had she discovered a big secret!
While going up the steps, Yuan Xiaoxuan, who was a few steps behind, saw that Xu Zixi was walking farther and farther away. He hooked his finger at Yan Yincheng and said, "Uncle Yin, Xuanxuan will tell you a little secret~~"
The noisy group walked into the hot - spring hotel. Wei Shu, who had arrived at the hotel in advance to arrange accommodation, greeted them with a smile,
"Welcome everyone to Yunhe Mountain Hot - Spring Valley. I've already arranged the rooms and lunch. Everyone can pick up your room cards. Take a half - hour break and then you can start having lunch." After saying that, he started to distribute the room cards.
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li and Teacher Chen will share a triple - room."
"Miss Dai and Miss Zhou will share a room."
"Miss Yuan, I've arranged a family room for you. There's a children's playground in the room for the two little masters to play in."
Xu Zixi wasn't surprised by this arrangement. But when she looked at the room number: 1520...
Xu Zixi raised her eyebrows and said, "Although I appreciate Assistant Wei's thoughtfulness, I hope you can give me both room cards for this room."
