half thorns, half joy

The next morning Tang Xuan got up, washed up casually, and was about to go downstairs to have breakfast. She was surprised to find that Xiao Zihan didn't go to the company.

Seeing Tang Xuan looking over in surprise, Xiao Zihan raised the coffee cup in his hand and took the lead in explaining, "The company is not busy today, so I will take a day off for myself."

"That's good, you should take a good rest." Tang Xuan walked over, kissed Xiao Zihan lightly on the cheek, and then pulled out the chair and sat down.

The nanny who was waiting by the side immediately served Tang Xuan breakfast.

Taking advantage of Tang Xuan's lowered head to spread the tablecloth, Xiao Zihan looked at Tang Xuan's expression, and he was relieved to see that Tang Xuan was not as depressed as last night.

The reason why he didn't go to work was because he wanted to take a day off and because he wanted to be with Tang Xuan.

After all, Tang Xuan had just lost a good friend. He didn't want Tang Xuan to feel lonely and feel sad.

"By the way, is Xiao Yang back?" Tang Xuan asked Xiao Zihan while drinking milk when breakfast was served.

Xiao Zihan didn't know either, so he turned to look at the nanny.

The nanny immediately replied: "Mr. Xu didn't come back last night."

Tang Xuan frowned slightly, put down her milk cup, and took out her phone from her pocket, "Then I'll send him a message to see if he's okay."

Xiao Zihan was still dissatisfied that Tang Xuan cared so much about his cousin, but he didn't stop him, he just complained, "You're such an adult, there's nothing to worry about."

As soon as Tang Xuan sent her greeting message, Xu Yang called. Tang Xuan saw it and immediately picked it up.

"Hey, Xiao Yang, where are you now?"

Having already packed his luggage, Xu Yang, who was standing at the airport waiting for the security check, felt a little embarrassed when he heard Tang Xuan's concern.

"Sister-in-law, I...I have to go on a business trip temporarily, and I'm at the airport right now, and I'm going to get on the plane later."

Tang Xuan said, "A sudden business trip? Then you should pay attention to safety and be careful on the road."

"Well, I will, and I will bring you gifts when I come back."

"Okay, turn off the phone and get on the plane, be careful."

"Got it, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, before Tang Xuan could speak, Xiao Zihan said first, "Look, I already said that she is an adult, so don't worry about it."

Tang Xuan gave Xiao Zihan a white look, "It's fine for you not to care about yourself, you're blaming me."

Xiao Zihan shrugged, not arguing with Tang Xuan.

After breakfast, Tang Xuan went upstairs to see the two children. Xiao Zihan continued to sit and read the news. After browsing the day's highlights, he held a coffee cup and fell into deep thought.

In the few years since graduating from college, his life has changed dramatically.Most of these changes are bad, but there are also good ones.

For example, he and Tang Xuan overcame various difficulties and came together again. For example, he now has two children and has become a father.

Now that Deng Li is dead and Tang Jieshan's case is still in the process of trial, everything seems to have been settled.

Those with grievances and grudges all died and were arrested. It felt like... he could finally live a peaceful life.

But for some reason, Xiao Zihan still occasionally felt uneasy in his heart.

He wasn't sure if his anxiety was intuition, or because of the insecurity he had experienced after so many things.

Hey……

Xiao Zihan rubbed his eyebrows, and went upstairs with a lot of thoughts.

The door of the baby's room was not closed, and it was wide open. Xiao Zihan walked over and stood at the door. Before he entered, he had a panoramic view of the movements of the people in the baby's room.

Tang Xuan was cuddling the baby, Zhao Suizhi was sitting next to her, holding the baby's feeding bottle, and Xiao Yuebai was holding a comic book, reading with gusto.

This beautiful and peaceful picture made Xiao Zihan feel a warm current in his heart.

At this time, Tang Xuan raised her head and saw Xiao Zihan at the door.

"Zihan?" She smiled and turned the baby's face to Xiao Zihan, and said to the baby: "Come on, baby, look, dad is here."

The baby's pink mouth was opened, and it made a babbling sound, and it was unclear if it understood Tang Xuan's words.

Xiao Zihan walked in, took the baby from Tang Xuan's hand, and lifted it up.

The baby was suddenly lifted high, dancing happily, its little feet kicked Xiao Zihan's chest back and forth, both hands also grabbed Xiao Zihan's hair, and started to tug without any strength.

In an instant, Xiao Zihan's neat short hair was messed up, and his clothes were kicked and wrinkled.

"Why is the baby bullying me?" Xiao Zihan looked at Tang Xuan aggrievedly, and complained to Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan couldn't help laughing, "This is not bullying you, this is clearly liking you, look at the baby laughing so hard, the saliva is almost dripping down."

Just as he was talking, the baby's saliva dripped down and landed on Xiao Zihan's face.

And the baby seemed not to be outdone, grabbed Xiao Zihan's hair, and was about to ride on Xiao Zihan's head.

"Okay, okay, come on, Mommy." Tang Xuan saw that Xiao Zihan was indeed being bullied miserably. After all, the baby was still wearing diapers, and it would not be too good to ride on Xiao Zihan's head, so she carried the baby back in time.

As soon as the baby was in Tang Xuan's arms, she became obedient again, sucking her fingers, blinking her big eyes, and staring at Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan wiped away the saliva left by the baby on his face, and smiled helplessly, "You see the baby suddenly becomes obedient in your arms. Could this be accusing me of seldom accompanying him?"

"You think too much." Zhao Suizhi, who had been sitting by the side, got up, took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from the corner of the baby's mouth, "Why don't you accompany him? It's this boy, who is closer to Mom."

"Is there another way to say that?" Xiao Zihan shrugged, and the helplessness on his face became heavier.

So, what he always wanted was a daughter.

The daughter should be closer to the father.

Xiao Zihan was feeling emotional in his heart, at this moment Xiao Yuebai who had been reading beside him suddenly stood up and walked over to Xiao Zihan's side.

"Dad, Dad." He tugged at the corner of Xiao Zihan's clothes and said, "I'm tired of reading these books, Dad. Are there any other books I can read?"

Just after being bullied by the little baby, Xiao Zihan suddenly felt better when he heard the voice of the eldest son.

"Yuebai, what book do you want to read?" Xiao Zihan knelt down and picked up Xiao Yuebai who was already quite an adult despite his small stature.

Xiao Yuebai shook the comic book in her hand, pretending to be mature and said: "I want to read books that adults read."

Xiao Zihan burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of Xiaoyuebai's nose, and asked with a smile: "Listen to what you said, can you understand the books that adults read? Can you read the characters?"

"I know it!" Xiao Yuebai replied immediately, with an extremely serious expression, "It's okay even if you don't know it, I will look it up in the dictionary! Dad, take me to your study."

Xiao Zihan laughed louder, he didn't take Xiao Yuebai's seriousness into consideration at all, but as a loving father, he still agreed to Xiao Yuebai's request.

"Okay, Dad will take you to the study to see what books you want to read."

Xiao Zihan walked out with Xiao Yuebai in his arms. When he reached the door, he stopped again and said to Tang Xuan, "By the way, I'll tell you something later."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Before Tang Xuan could ask, Xiao Zihan had already carried Xiao Yuebai to the study.

Well, forget it, and ask when I come back later.
