In the car, while the two kids were asleep, Aunt Zhang asked Xu Zixi,
"The two young masters address Mr. Yan as..."
Xu Zixi replied, "I've thought it over. The two kids are so smart. To help them form a sound outlook on life, values, and the world, I can't deprive them of the right to spend time with their father. So I allowed them to recognize him and promised to take the kids to spend a day with him every week."
"What about you, Miss?" Aunt Zhang asked.
"Me?" Xu Zixi was slightly taken aback, then lowered her eyes and smiled. "The easier it is to get something, the less people will cherish it. So... I'll have to observe him further and see how he behaves in the future."
Aunt Zhang nodded and gave her a thumbs - up. "You're so sensible, Miss! That's right. When a man is courting you, he'll say all kinds of nice things and praise you like a fairy in the sky. But once he gets you, he often won't cherish you. I've seen so many examples like this. Especially since Mr. Yan has a past record, it's necessary to observe him for a while. I support you!"
Aunt Li also chimed in, "What Aunt Zhang said is really right. It's unreliable to expect a man to know how to love a woman on his own. We have to make them suffer a bit before they learn to cherish."
Teacher Chen said, "However, we should also give a little sweetness occasionally. We can't hang the bait too high, or the fish will get annoyed and won't take the hook. Miss did a great job this time by letting him recognize the two kids. He must be extremely happy now."
Aunt Zhang said, "Right, right, right. It's okay to give a little sweetness occasionally. This way, the man will be more devoted to you!"
As the only adult male in the car, Brother Hu was trembling in the driver's seat.
This kind of topic about teaching women how to deal with men and make them suffer... was really terrifying! Fortunately, the person he wanted to court wasn't in the car. Otherwise, his whole life might be under her control! He no longer thought Mr. Yan was detestable. Instead, he felt sorry for him!
After the two cars had traveled across most of Haicheng, they finally drove into the same community together.
Even though she had already learned from Aunt Li that Yan Yancheng lived in the building opposite theirs, when she saw the Maybach stop right next to her car and Yan Yancheng get out of it, Xu Zixi couldn't help but let out a cold snort from her nose.
Humph, this dog - like man!
Yuan Xiaoxuan had woken up when getting out of the car. Lying on Aunt Zhang's shoulder, his eyes were full of surprise as he looked at Yan Yancheng. "Daddy, are you going home with baby?"
Huh! Why is Daddy here? Did Mommy agree to live with Daddy again when they weren't paying attention? Just like they did in that big house before?
It was a lie to say that Yan Yancheng didn't want to go back with his wife and kids. But he remembered his promise not to be too greedy. So he could only say, "Daddy is just sending you back. Be good. Go home with Mommy quickly."
Xu Zixi also said with a smile, "Baby, don't worry. He has his own home."
After saying that, she and Aunt Zhang each carried a kid and went home. But the kids couldn't take their eyes off their newly - recognized daddy. They watched him leave longingly. Then they found...
Daddy entered the building opposite theirs!
It turned out that Daddy's new home was just opposite theirs!
He knew Daddy wouldn't be far away from them!
From now on, they could see Daddy often!
How could Xu Zixi not know what the two kids were thinking? After getting home, she called the two kids in front of her and started to settle the score!
"During this trip, baby can finally call Uncle Yan Daddy openly. Are you very happy?" Xu Zixi asked with a smile at first.
Not knowing that a storm was coming, the two kids nodded like little chickens pecking at rice.
Then Xu Zixi immediately pulled a straight face and said in a very serious tone, "But Mommy has to tell you that you made a lot of mistakes this time!"
The two kids were most afraid of hearing that they had made mistakes. As the main initiator of the hot - spring trip, Yuan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but lower his little head.
"The first mistake was that you secretly opened Mommy's suitcase without Mommy's permission and stuffed in the clothes that Mommy clearly refused to bring."
"But Mommy likes that dress," Yuan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but whisper. "Baby likes it too!"
Xu Zixi said, "Mommy respects baby's desire to have a daddy, but Mommy has her own thoughts and plans. Baby might accidentally cause trouble for Mommy. So in the future, Mommy hopes that baby can respect Mommy, okay?"
Although the two kids didn't really cause trouble, the principle still needed to be made clear!
After hearing this, Yuan Xiaoxuan nodded seriously. "Okay, Mommy. Xuanxuan knows he was wrong!"
"The second mistake was that you secretly opened the door for someone at night when Mommy wasn't paying attention and let that person into Mommy's room."
Yuan Xiaoxu corrected seriously, "It wasn't someone else. It was Daddy."
Xu Zixi was both angry and amused. "What if he was a bad guy? What if he lied to you and came into the room to hurt Mommy?"
"What if one day, a person stands in front of you and says that he is a friend of Mommy or Daddy, and asks you to open the door for him, or says that he can take you to find Mommy or Daddy, but his real purpose is to kidnap you and hide you in a place where Daddy and Mommy can't find you, and use you to threaten Daddy or Mommy. What would you do then?"
The two kids were scared. Could there be such a terrible thing in the world? Being hidden so that they couldn't see Mommy and Daddy. Yuan Xiaoxu was so scared that he started crying.
"Wuwuwu, it's so scary!"
The sight of the future villain boss crying and saying in a childish voice that kidnapping was scary almost made Xu Zixi lose her composure.
Wiping the tears from Yuan Xiaoxu's face, Xu Zixi said,
"You should be glad that your daddy isn't a bad guy. Otherwise, Mommy might not be able to sit here and talk to you."
The two kids nodded vigorously. "Okay, Mommy. We know we were wrong!"
They knew that in the future, they couldn't open the door for anyone except Daddy!
After educating the two kids, Xu Zixi finally felt relieved. Back in her room, she took out the diamond ring that had been carefully placed in the interlayer of her handbag. After thinking for a while, she opened the drawer, found an empty jewelry box, and put the ring in it.
Then she took out the group photo taken at the entrance of the hot - spring resort, pulled out the photo album from under Yuan Xiaoxuan's pillow, opened it to the last page, and put it together with the group photo they took at the aquarium.
In the building opposite, after getting home, Yan Yancheng received a call from Fengcheng:
"Third Master, the encrypted conversation recordings of all the guests who attended Miss Yuan's birthday party four years ago have been sent to your email. The journalist who took the photos that year will be brought before you by A Feng in two hours."
