Chapter 450 Children Should Be Born
Han Xi cupped Fang Li's face in his hands, gently stroking her cheekbone with his thumb: "I'm sorry. It's all a matter for the Han family. I was prepared and knew there wouldn't be any problems, but I didn't expect you to worry."
Fang Li shook her head: "Of course, it's best if nothing happens."
She suddenly pointed to the carry-on suitcase in the corner, "I booked a ticket last night. If you hadn't come back, I would be on the plane by now."
Han Xi looked at the half-packed box, and his expression subtly changed.
He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly leaned down and pulled Fang Li into his arms. Fang Li was pressed down by him and could hardly breathe.
"Han Xi?"
"Feel sorry."
"Why are you apologizing again?" Fang Li smiled helplessly.
He mumbled in her hair, his voice sounding strange, "I'm sorry I worried you. I promise I won't hide it from you next time."
Fang Li's heart softened, and she hugged him back: "It's good that you know. Do you really think I'm some naive young lady? I'm aware of many things."
She whispered, "Next time something happens, you must tell me."
"it is good."
Han Xi chuckled, released her, and stood up: "Are you hungry? Hurry up and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast."
He rolled out of bed, took off his pajamas as he walked to the wardrobe, and pulled out his loungewear to change into. His back muscles stretched out like a cheetah in the morning light, but the red marks on them were particularly noticeable.
Fang Li's eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly looked away.
Han Xi finished dressing, came over, and kissed her on the corner of the mouth, saying, "I'll go downstairs first, then come down when I'm ready. We'll have braised pork ribs for lunch."
-
When Fang Li finished getting ready and went downstairs, the aroma of the restaurant food had already wafted up to the stairs.
Smelling the enticing aroma of the food and thinking of the man who had already gone home, Fang Li skipped downstairs and jogged towards the restaurant.
"What are you eating? It smells delicious!"
Xu Fangli slipped on her slippers and entered the restaurant. She watched Han Xi personally frying eggs in the restaurant. He always had a peculiar focus when he cooked, as if frying eggs was a surgical procedure that required precise operation.
"Didn't you say you'd cook lunch yourself? Aunt Rong and the others have prepared so much, why are you still frying eggs?" Fang Li walked over quietly, resting her chin on his shoulder as she asked.
Han Xi didn't turn his head, his left hand precisely turning down the firepower: "Noon is noon, and morning is morning."
He turned his head and kissed the tip of her nose. "A lovingly fried egg, as compensation for Ah Li's worry these past two days."
Fang Li laughed and tried to dodge, but Han Xi grabbed her waist.
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the two of them in golden light, framing the scene with a golden edge.
She reached out to tear off a piece of the edge, but Han Xi gently slapped her hand away: "It's hot."
"Let's go eat there."
Seeing the two so sweet together, Aunt Rong smiled broadly.
"Sir, Madam, please continue your meal. I'll head down now."
Fang Li nodded and smiled, "Thank you for Aunt Rong's breakfast!"
Aunt Rong smiled and left with several servants.
Only two people remained in the restaurant; Fang Li and Han Xi sat side by side.
As soon as Han Xi sat down, Fang Li put her leg on his knee, sat sideways in the chair, and ate the heart-shaped fried egg in small bites, looking very satisfied.
"Mr. Han's cooking is really good; even his fried eggs taste different from others!"
Han Xi was amused by her charming little face. He picked up some green vegetables with his chopsticks and put them on her plate, laughing, "Did I put the wrong seasoning in the fried egg? I didn't put sugar in it."
"........"
Fang Li was slightly taken aback before realizing that he was implying that she was sweet-talking.
He laughed and said, "There's no way around it, no need to add sugar, Mr. Han's face is enough to make you want to eat."
The two ate and chatted casually.
Suddenly, a noise came from the entrance hall, and Aunt Rong's surprised voice was heard. A figure wrapped in cold air swept in like a gust of wind.
"Miaomiao!"
"Uncle and Aunt! I missed you so much!"
Yang Miao hugged Xu Fangli tightly, her body radiating the biting cold outside. Fangli was only wearing a thin pajamas and was almost frozen stiff.
Upon seeing this, Han Xi immediately pulled Yang Miao aside and drew her to his side: "Didn't you say you'd be back tomorrow?"
"There was no other way. My mom had to go on a business trip unexpectedly. She was going to take me to the old house, but I snuck away!"
Yang Miao quickly took off her backpack, pulled out a chair, sat down, and started eating: "I'm starving! You guys have no idea how much my mom has tormented me these past few days at home!"
Yang Miao picked up a steamed bun, stuffed it full, and said with her mouth bulging, "I told you long ago that everyone has their own expertise. Cooking is something she could never master in her entire life, but she just wouldn't believe it."
"She wouldn't let me order takeout, saying it was bad for my health, and insisted I eat what she cooked. I almost got poisoned by her!"
Fang Li and Han Xi listened to the little girl's accusations. Fang Li found it amusing. In her mind, Chunxi was always calm and composed, as if there was nothing she couldn't do. Unexpectedly, she saw another side of her through Yang Miao's words.
Han Xi silently ladled a bowl of soup and placed it next to Yang Miao, then asked, "Where did your mom say she was going on a business trip again?"
"do not know."
Yang Miao choked, then gulped down two mouthfuls from the bowl before suddenly saying, "It seems like she's going to Yuncheng. I overheard her mention it on the phone; she said she was scouting locations there for a project."
Fang Li added some more soup to Yang Miao's bowl and then added some vegetables to her plate: "How have you been? You haven't fallen behind on your studies these past few days, have you?"
"Auntie, why are you like my mom, asking about my studies the moment you see me?"
Yang Miao pouted, a little unhappy, and said, "It's been so long since we last saw each other, don't you even ask if I'm happy? Have I eaten enough? How have you been doing? Are you still my dearest auntie?!"
Fang Li was amused by her antics. "Alright, alright, it's my fault. So, how have you been lately? Are you doing well? Are you happy?"
"Oh no! I'm so unhappy!"
"What's wrong?" Fang Li asked, taking a bite of her fried egg.
Yang Miao was frantically spreading blueberry jam on her toast: "You have no idea, since I came home, I've only gone out three times! Including today, three times!"
Yang Miao angrily held up three fingers and said, "Once, my mom had to work overtime in a meeting and took me out to eat. Another time, my dad left some documents at home and I delivered them for him. And then there's today!"
She suddenly buried her face in her hands and cried, "My mom is a workaholic; she works overtime even on weekends, and now she's taking away my weekends too. I don't even know what freedom feels like anymore."
Xu Fangli looked up and saw the little girl's distressed expression, and couldn't help but laugh.
"So, I've made up my mind!"
With her mouth full of food, Yang Miao mumbled, "I'm not leaving again this time. My mom said you two are getting married soon, and told me not to disturb you while you're having your baby, so you can enjoy your time as a couple!"
She shrugged. "How could I possibly influence you, Uncle and Aunt!"
Yang Miao suddenly threw down his chopsticks, stood up, and stood between the two of them, putting his arms around their shoulders on either side, saying, "Don't worry, just have the baby. I'll help you take care of it. I absolutely won't disturb your time together. From today onwards, just pretend I don't exist!"
