Leng Zexi stared solemnly at the person in front of him and said sternly, "You must never rely on your inability to feel pain to recklessly neglect your body. Do you understand?"

His gaze was like a torch, as if it could penetrate deep into the other person's heart.

Ningning looked at her father's extremely serious expression and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

He lowered his head and whispered softly, "I'm sorry, Dad. I know I was wrong." His voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Ningning, precisely because you can't feel pain, you should pay more attention to protecting your body."

"Otherwise, by the time your body is seriously injured, it will be too late!" Leng Zexi continued to teach his youngest son earnestly.

At this moment, he suddenly changed the subject and mentioned another matter: "Also, when you fell just now, you actually swore. Who taught you that?"

After hearing this, Ningning's eyes widened and she looked at her father innocently, her eyes full of doubt and confusion, as if asking, "Is that so?"

Seeing this, Sui Sui kindly reminded him: "It's that 'Fuck you'."

Leng Zexi heard this and turned to look at Sui Sui, then turned to Ning Ning and said, "Sui Sui, Ning Ning, you two should go to the corner and face the wall for an hour and reflect on your mistakes. You must stand still!"

Nian Nian, who had been observing the scene silently from the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud with glee after hearing her father's punishment decision.

Xia Ruoan shook his head helplessly and looked at Nian Nian with a little helplessness.

Sure enough, the next moment, Leng Zexi said expressionlessly, "Niannian, go stand over there for half an hour."

Nian Nian looked at her father with a bewildered and puzzled expression, blinking her big eyes and asking, "Why? Why am I being punished too?"

At this moment, Leng Zexi glanced at him with a sneer and replied stiffly: "They are so happy because of the meal. In this case, then you should be happy with them."

After saying that, he no longer cared about the doubts and grievances that came with the years.

Seeing that she couldn't get any concessions from her father, Niannian looked at her mother pitifully, her eyes full of help, as if she hoped her mother could plead with her father on her behalf.

However, Xia Ruoan just glanced at Leng Zexi lightly, shook his head helplessly at Nian Nian, indicating that he could do nothing about it.

As for the two elderly people in the family, the children's grandparents, when they saw that their grandchildren were about to be punished, they turned around and left the scene silently.

After all, children can be pampered, but they must never be overly indulged or spoiled.

There was no deliberate concealment of Ningning's affairs, and in fact, it could not be concealed at all.

Just as the family returned home, Xia Ruoan received a call from his parents.

On the other end of the phone, the old couple asked about Ningning's condition with concern, and told them to take good care of her and not to take it lightly.

It turned out that Ningning was too lively and active. Compared with the well-behaved and sensible Suisui and Niannian, she naturally caused people more worries.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan watched Ningning running towards the vegetable garden impatiently as soon as she entered the house, and a deep worry surged in his heart.

"I'm really worried that Ningning is really planning to go into the botany field like me."

"It's fine in other aspects, but if it involves outdoor work, I really can't let him go with peace of mind!" Xia Ruoan expressed his worries with a sad face.

Leng Zexi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "To be honest, if Ning Ning is really determined to take this path, I'm afraid I can't stop her."

"After all, children are grown up and will always have their own ideas and choices."

"However, this is still a matter of the future. By then, Ningning will surely have grown up and will naturally understand the importance of this matter."

"Besides, even something as seemingly simple and ordinary as eating can sometimes carry certain risks, but we can't just forbid him from eating because of this, right?"

Leng Zexi tried to comfort Xia Ruoan's anxious mood in this way.

"Besides, look at Ningning's physique, which is sure to kill him if he's kept alive. We shouldn't have too high expectations! Maybe he won't even be able to follow in your footsteps."

"Perhaps after a period of attempts and setbacks, when disappointment gradually accumulates, he will naturally choose to give up." Leng Zexi continued to analyze various possibilities.

However, Xia Ruoan disagreed with Ningning's view of giving up easily: "In my opinion, it's not that easy to get Ningning to give up on her own initiative."

"Perhaps as his experiences grow and difficulties increase, he will become more determined to keep going."

Looking back on the past year, Ningning always failed every time she tried to tend to her vegetable garden.

But he always maintained an optimistic and positive attitude, always started sowing again with a smile, and looked forward to successfully growing fresh vegetables and fruits next time.

"But what you said before is not wrong. Fortunately, Ningning doesn't rely on farming to make a living, otherwise the situation would be really unimaginable!"

"If he doesn't find another way to make a living, I'm afraid even basic living expenses will become a big problem." Xia Ruoan said with a smile.

After hearing her words, Leng Zexi couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile on his face.

"Have you forgotten? He destroyed all the seeds your teacher had carefully planted and the flowers your senior brother had carefully cared for. In the end, we had to help him clean up this mess."

Recalling those scenes, Leng Zexi couldn't help but shook his head, thinking to himself that he must find a way to let Ningning develop more interests and hobbies.

"We are still able to clean up these messes for him now, but what should we do in the future? He will eventually need the ability to deal with difficulties and solve problems on his own." Leng Zexi said worriedly.

"As I see it, all I can do now is to leave as much as possible for the three of them in the future."

"This way, even if Ningning continues down this path, at least she won't end up living off her savings."

"So I plan to focus on training Suisui as the heir to the family business, and Ningning will hold some of the company's shares. At least when faced with situations like needing to compensate others for losses, the financial situation won't be too difficult."

At this point, Xia Ruoan paused for a moment, then added, "I just don't know if Sui Sui is interested in this. Although he seems to be quite interested in the financial field at the moment, who can predict the future?"

"We must not force him. It's better to let everything take its course."

Xia Ruoan frowned slightly and said slowly: "I think it's a bit too early for you to make such a conclusion now."

"After all, the children are still young and have a long way to go in the future! Being a parent is really not easy. Looking at how young they are now, we have to start worrying about their future lives."

Xia Ruoan's gaze always fell on the innocent little ones, his eyes full of love and pampering.

She then sighed, "In my heart, I always feel that they are still children who need to be cared for and looked after. I just want to pamper them and let them grow up without worries."

However, Leng Zexi, who was standing by, appeared quite calm and composed. He reached out and gently patted Xia Ruoan's shoulder, reassuring her, "Don't worry, I will handle these matters properly."

"Whatever path they choose to take in the future, I will give them my fullest and most unwavering support."

At this point, Leng Zexi's expression became more serious: "Raising children is not as simple as just bringing them up. More often than not, we must be strong supporters when they climb up, and we must also be able to provide them with a safety net when they face difficulties."

"As a father, this is my responsibility. Therefore, I will carefully arrange everything for my children and ensure that they have a way out so that they can turn back at any time."

Hearing her husband's affectionate and unwavering words, Xia Ruoan's heart warmed. She turned her head, gazed at Leng Zexi lovingly, and responded softly, "I'll stay with you."

"The child is the fruit of our love, and this responsibility should be shared by both of us. I cannot let you bear all the pressure alone."

Leng Zexi smiled and nodded, reached out and held Xia Ruoan's hand, and said softly: "Having you by my side is enough."

"And just as your eldest brother said, love for the house extends to the dog. Because I love you so deeply, I naturally treasure our child immensely."

When Leng Zexi said this, there was no hesitation or delay, as if this had already become an eternal belief in his heart.

As for Ningning's matter, in order not to make him feel uncomfortable, no one would talk about pain relief in front of him, as if things were back to the way they were before.

But the difference is that every Saturday, Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan would take him to the hospital for a physical examination.

"It's nothing. Ningning is very healthy and has no physical damage. You have taken good care of him. Just keep doing it." Ouyang Lan looked at Leng Zexi and said.

Ningning saw the children playing ball on the lawn outside and became interested.

"Dad, I want to go downstairs and play ball." Ningning said, pulling Leng Zexi's pants.

Leng Zexi glanced at the child on the lawn and said, "Okay, I'll have someone bring the ball from the car to you. Don't try to steal other people's balls. You can play together, but you can't steal them. Got it?"
