Wen's mother, standing by, couldn't help but look surprised and interrupted, "Isn't it the nanny who takes care of him? Things like Wen Yi's washing and grooming are all taken care of by the nanny."

She really couldn't imagine that a successful man could have so much time and energy to take care of children.

However, Xia Ruoan shook his head and answered frankly, "No, our family has never hired a nanny, not even a maid."

"Only when there's a need for cleaning will we have someone from the old house come over to help tidy up and clean."

When these words were spoken, not only was Mother Wen shocked, but even the other ladies around were dumbfounded and looked incredulous after hearing them.

After all, most of them are full-time housewives, and taking care of the household and children all day has become a normal part of their lives.

When it comes to children's affairs, she either takes care of them herself or supervises the servants to handle them properly.

And expecting your husband to take over all matters concerning the child is simply a fantasy!

At this moment, a person approached with curiosity, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and asked softly, "Mrs. Leng, what secret have you mastered that can make Mr. Leng so devoted to you and the children?"

As soon as the words fell, another voice rang out: "That's right, Madam Leng, would you mind sharing some of your experience? We are so envious."

Faced with the sudden questions from everyone, Xia Ruoan was stunned for a moment. Does this kind of thing require any special experience?

After thinking for a moment, she smiled awkwardly and replied, "I don't really have any special experience."

"It's mainly because he really likes children. When he gets home from get off work, he goes into the kitchen and starts cooking. After finishing his housework, he plays with the children."

When Xia Ruoan said this, everyone present was extremely surprised.

One of the ladies couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, it seems the old saying is true. When looking for a partner, you have to look for someone who is inherently good."

"I guess it's because Mr. Leng loves you so deeply that he also loves the children so much. It's simply like loving the whole family."

After the party, Xia Ruoan and Leng Zexi returned home together.

Xia Ruoan couldn't wait to pull Leng Zexi to sit on the sofa, and told him to call his third brother immediately to ask about the situation between him and Minghui.

Leng Zexi dialed the phone as instructed, and soon the familiar voice of his third brother came from the other end.

When asked if he was really pursuing Minghui, Lin Cai answered in the affirmative without hesitation: "Yes, it's true. I am working hard to pursue her!"

Xia Ruoan was slightly surprised. According to common sense, he should have denied it outright.

However, what she never expected was that Lin Cai nodded and acknowledged this fact without hesitation.

"No way, weren't you not very interested in her before? Why did you suddenly..." Xia Ruoan paused and continued to ask, "Did something special happen to make you change your mind?"

Lin Cai scratched his head sheepishly, touched his nose, and slowly said, "Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just happened to run into her one time. She was completely without any makeup, but at that moment I was attracted by her fresh and natural beauty, and then I fell in love with her unknowingly."

"But you must not tell my brother and the others about this. I haven't caught up with him yet."

After saying that, Lin Cai's gaze unconsciously turned to the figure working attentively in the ceramic shop - Minghui.

Xia Ruoan was a little amused and confused when she heard Lin Cai's words. She couldn't help but confirm again with doubt: "Are you sure you are serious this time? This is not just a spur of the moment joke."

Lin Cai nodded seriously, indicating that he was absolutely sincere.

His eyes always stayed on Minghui, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were full of tenderness and love.

Seeing Lin Cai's firm attitude, Xia Ruoan was happy for him and smiled and said, "Well, since you are so serious, I wish you can get your beautiful girl soon."

"I hope that next time we meet, you'll have successfully brought my future sister-in-law to us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Cai nodded heavily, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Well, in order to achieve this goal, I have to work harder. Otherwise, I don't know when I will have the chance to see you again."

After chatting with Lin Cai, Xia Ruoan went to find Leng Zexi happily, and couldn't wait to tell him the good news.

After finding Leng Zexi, Xia Ruoan asked excitedly, "Zexi, did you know that Third Brother is really pursuing Minghui? Do you think this is okay?"

"If he can catch her, then yes." Leng Zexi said with a smile, his eyes showing the expectation and joy that these two people can achieve a happy ending.

He knew very well that although Minghui was keen on various exciting projects, she was very straightforward and unpretentious. She was undoubtedly a good girl worth cherishing.

Lin Cai is not only his brother-in-law, but also a close brother. They already know each other's personalities very well.

However, when Leng Zexi turned his head to look at Xia Ruoan beside him, his tone became slightly serious: "However, it may not be easy for Lin Cai to successfully pursue Minghui."

He shook his head slightly and continued to explain, "Don't be fooled by Minghui's outwardly straightforward and generous personality, but in fact, she is extremely sensitive and delicate.

It is not easy to truly enter her inner world."

Hearing this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but frown slightly and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Why do you say that?" Obviously, she was quite surprised by Leng Zexi's comment.

Leng Zexi took a deep breath and slowly explained the reason: "Minghui's parents were deeply influenced by my uncle's ideas, and the concept of favoring sons over daughters is deeply rooted in their minds."

"In their eyes, all family resources seemed to be prioritized for their son. They even complained endlessly about the cost of Minghui's college education and later her overseas studies."

"Even worse, they even bluntly stated that if Zehui hadn't agreed, they would never have allowed Minghui to continue her studies abroad. Instead, they would have married her off early and profited from the marriage."

"She came back this time to ask me for help. It turned out she was determined to leave that family once and for all, so she gave all the money she had worked so hard to earn over the years to her parents, claiming it was repayment, and that they were no longer in debt."

Leng Zexi frowned slightly, looking into the distance, as if lost in memories, and then slowly said:

"And now, she is begging me to rent a shop to her, and she wants to pay on credit first." After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.

"Honestly, it's incredibly difficult to truly understand her inner world. After all, in her inherent beliefs, even her own family is so unreliable, so how can we expect her to believe that an unrelated stranger would truly care for her?"

"So, it's not surprising that she has such thoughts." Leng Zexi seemed to see this quite clearly.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but interrupt, "Really? Thinking about what she's been through, it really makes me feel incredibly distressed. I just hope that Third Brother can be more kind to her."

After saying that, Xia Ruoan sighed softly, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"It all depends on fate between them. If they are really destined to be together, they will naturally come together, so you don't have to worry about it at all." Leng Zexi comforted Xia Ruoan in a gentle tone.

Xia Ruoan's heart moved, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed the case.

She had originally been considering whether to lend a hand, but now she thought it would be better for her not to interfere too much in the matter.

After all, this would provide the third brother with a perfect opportunity to perform.

"By the way, do you have any specific plans for tomorrow? Sui Sui said she wants to go fishing with Dad."

"Niannian plans to visit the art exhibition with my second brother. As for Ningning, he has to go to the academy, and Senior Brother Tang will come to pick him up personally."

Leng Zexi was looking through the messages on his phone, and then turned to tell Xia Ruoan in detail.

Xia Ruoan shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no special arrangements.

In fact, given her current situation, it is really difficult for her to do anything.

"Why don't you just take a good rest at home?" Leng Zexi suggested.

"Yeah, that's fine." Xia Ruoan nodded slightly in agreement.

"It's just right for us to enjoy some time just for the two of us, and we don't have to worry about taking care of the children." Leng Zexi nodded with a smile on his face.

"But then again, when Ningning goes to the academy tomorrow, there will probably be one more person who is afraid of him." Xia Ruoan thought of Ningning's usual quirky and mischievous appearance, and shook his head helplessly.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Leng Zexi lowered his head after hearing this, and asked Xia Ruoan with curiosity.

"Senior Brother Tang wanted the project that the teacher has, and agreed to take Ningning with him to plant it. But when I went to see it tomorrow, I was sure that even the buds wouldn't sprout." Xia Ruoan said affirmatively.

Leng Zexi chuckled after hearing this, "Brother Tang, haven't you seen Ningning's unlucky physique before?"

"It's not like I haven't seen it before, but I just came back from the academy and I don't believe it." Xia Ruoan didn't know what to say to them.
