Children's innocent words are always the most sincere. The two kids directly pierced Daisa's fangirl disguise, making everyone burst into laughter.
Zhou Yaru nudged her with her elbow and said with a smile, "Come on, if I'm not mistaken, A Wei and A Biao were showing off their muscles in front of you just now. They performed so hard last night. Have you taken a fancy to either of them?"
Daisa was both angry and annoyed. "Do I look like someone who would pounce on any muscle - man in a desperate way? I'm a decent person!"
"Oh~ I get it. You don't like muscle - men anymore, right? You like... muscle - men in white shirts! Like Assistant Wei!"
"Zhou Yaru, I'll kill you!"
Daisa, flustered and exasperated, chased after Zhou Yaru. Xu Zixi watched them bickering and couldn't help laughing.
Come to think of it, someone sneaked into her room in the middle of the night last night. In fact, when she was fighting with him, she couldn't help but touch his pectoral muscles a couple of times. They felt quite firm. At the hot - spring resort, she saw that his abs seemed to be... eight - pack?
In the infirmary, when she questioned Wei Shu why he wasn't sleeping, Wei Shu's expression was rather hard to describe.
She guessed that's probably how he built his muscles. This guy would really go all out to achieve his goal.
Yuan Xiaoxuan looked up and found that his mommy's face was red again! There was no one else here except the aunts. Was mommy sick or just shy?
The kid frowned in distress.
Yan Yincheng went back to bed and slept for another two hours before he fully woke up. When Wei Shu received the message and came to him, he found that after one night, his Third Master seemed to have been reborn. From head to toe, he exuded an air of "refreshedness", completely getting rid of his previous dejected state.
Surprised by the change in Yan Yincheng, Wei Shu asked, "Third Master, did something good happen last night?"
Yan Yincheng raised his eyebrows. "A great piece of good news."
After saying that, he deliberately paused. His boastful tone and expression clearly invited further questioning.
So Wei Shu satisfied his expectation. "What great piece of good news?"
"I had a deep talk with Zixi last night," when he said the word "deep", his tongue seemed to taste a bit of sweetness, and his lips still retained the touch of hers, soft and fragrant.
Composing himself, he continued, "We had a good talk. She agreed to let the two kids call me dad, and also agreed to let me spend one day with the kids every week."
Wei Shu's face was full of surprise. "Really? Third Master, your plan has succeeded, right?!"
"Cough, cough, cough." Yan Yincheng coughed lightly. "Not exactly, but I'm already quite content with today's progress. One shouldn't be too greedy. One should know when to stop."
Indeed, just hearing this result made Wei Shu feel happy. He even considered having an extra bowl of rice at noon!
"By the way, tell A Wei and the others that Zixi is the mother of my two kids and will be my future wife. If she has any needs, you all must unconditionally follow her orders and help her accomplish whatever she wants to do. Understood?"
Wei Shu stood up straight. "Yes, Third Master."
Xu Zixi took the two kids to take photos and then returned to the hotel to pack their luggage. When leaving, her gaze lingered on the big bed in the room for a moment, and then she closed the door without any more nostalgia.
After returning the room card and turning around with the kids, she saw Yan Yincheng and Wei Shu coming out. Seeing this, the two kids let go of her hand and ran towards Yan Yincheng, directly shouting:
"Daddy!"
As soon as this address came out, everyone else who had already checked out in the hotel lobby was stunned. They cast looks of shock, disbelief, or understanding towards Yan Yincheng.
Yan Yincheng, in the center of the storm, said nothing. He just freed one hand and gently patted their heads.
"Daddy, we just went to take photos with mommy!" Yuan Xiaoxuan grabbed his hand and pulled him towards Xu Zixi while talking.
Yuan Xiaoxu jumped up and down beside him. "We took a lot of photos of flowers! And there were little squirrels too!"
Speaking of the little squirrels, Yuan Xiaoxu covered her mouth and laughed.
Taking photos? Yan Yincheng thought thoughtfully. This hot - spring trip was of great significance to him. He remembered the time when their family of four went to the aquarium. When they were leaving, a photographer pestered them and took a lot of photos.
At that time, he thought that while the kids were still young, he should take more pictures so that if his eyes could recover one day, he could recall these wonderful moments through the photos.
This hot - spring trip should also have some photos.
So he said to Wei Shu, "Gather everyone. Before we leave, let's take a group photo outside the hot - spring resort."
Xu Zixi's gaze fell on his sightless eyes. Her lips moved, but she couldn't say any words of refusal.
When they learned that they were going to take a group photo, everyone was very willing and enthusiastic, vying for the best shooting positions. Wei Shu originally planned to be the photographer, but Yan Yincheng asked him to stand in the line too. Even the two bodyguards were allowed to be in the photo.
So the manager of the hot - spring resort became the photographer.
Yan Yincheng squeezed his way to Xu Zixi's side. "Zixi, you can't hold both kids alone. Let me help you."
Xu Zixi knew exactly what he was up to. She rolled her eyes but didn't back away. After asking the two kids, Yuan Xiaoxu was held by Yan Yincheng, and Yuan Xiaoxuan was held by Xu Zixi.
The slightly plump manager of the hot - spring resort squatted down halfway. "Come on, everyone, look at the camera. Three, two, one... Cheese!"
As the shutter clicked, a precious photo was taken.
In the photo, Fang Ruiyang put his arm around Huang Zhenzhen and smiled sweetly. Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, and Teacher Chen raised their scarves in a fluttering - in - the - wind pose (this was the most popular photo - taking pose among middle - aged ladies!). Brother Hu seemed to have had a conflict with Zhou Yaru, and the two looked quite confrontational. Daisa was surrounded by three tall and imposing bodyguards, with Wei Shu beside her. She looked like a lamb that had accidentally strayed into a pack of wolves.
As for Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng, each holding a kid, they looked like a family. And on Third Master Yan's face, there was a rather silly smile.
After taking the photo, everyone set off on their way back.
A seven - seat Audi business car drove in the front, followed by a Maybach business car. They were all heading in the same direction towards Haicheng.
