73 Chapter 72, Moved

After saying this, Zhang Kun waited for Li Xu’s answer.

On the surface, he looked very calm, but in reality, he was already extremely nervous.

“Since you’re so honest, then I will be frank.” Li Xu took a deep breath, she also pretended to be calm and said, “I’ve already experienced a failed marriage, so for the rest of my life, my focus will be on my three children. Even if I get married again, I will definitely not have another child. If you can accept this, then let’s talk about other things.”

“Of course, I have already said it just now, I can accept it.” Zhang Kun nodded seriously without any hesitation.

“I am now the mother of three children, so I can not do things based on my own preferences. I need to talk to the three children. If any of them disagree, we can forget about the matter between us,” Li Xu said after a moment of silence.

This time, Zhang Kun nodded, “I know.”

He had been a parent before, so he naturally knew that in every parent’s heart, children were the most important.

Moreover, he believed in himself. Even if Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang did not agree, as long as he continued to treat them well, they would agree one day.

“One last thing, if we are together in the future, you must treat my child well. Other than that, I don’t have any other requests,” Li Xu said solemnly.

Zhang Kun also nodded solemnly, “You don’t have to worry about that, I will naturally do it.”

…

After Zhang Kun left home, Li Xu sat on the sofa by herself in a daze.

Li Xu knew that Zhang Kun was a trustworthy person. Li Yong had been Zhang Kun’s disciple for a few years and knew him very well.

During this period of time, Li Yong had constantly whispered in her ear about how good Zhang Kun was.

Therefore, there was no doubt about Zhang Kun’s character.

Of course, the reason why she agreed to try it with Zhang Kun was not just because he was a good person.

She had to admit that she was moved by Zhang Kun.

Previously, in the countryside, she was alone with her three children. Ji Jianguo basically did not go home. Her maternal family was far away and could not help, there’s no need to mention the in-laws’ family.

Therefore, she treated herself as a man. All the dirty work in the family, big and small, was hers. Ji Jianguo was used to it and would not help even if he went home.

Zhang Kun was different from Ji Jianguo. He would treat her like a woman.

He was afraid that she would have to work hard to carry the vegetables up and down. He would come early every morning just to help her carry the vegetables down.

Although this was a very small matter, Li Xu admitted that she was moved.

She was also a woman. Naturally, she also wanted someone to take care of her.

At this moment, the door creaked open. Li Xu snapped out of her daze and immediately got up to go to the kitchen, “You must be hungry. Mommy’s going to cook, what do you guys want to eat?”

However, before she could get up and walk to the kitchen door, a small figure pounced on her and hugged her waist.

Li Xu looked at Ji Zixuan, who was in her arms, in surprise, “What’s Wrong?”

Ji Zixuan did not say anything, but Li Xu looked at Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang in surprise.

Ji Zi’ang was still confused. He wondered if he should follow in his brother’s footsteps and cry as well.

Ji Yuanyuan quietly winked at Li Xu, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

Li Xu received Ji Yuanyuan’s signal and swallowed her words. She only patted Ji Zixuan’s back gently, just like when she coaxed him to sleep when he was young.

In less than four to five minutes, Ji Zixuan left Li Xu and returned to his room without saying a word.

Li Xu looked down and saw that there was a wet part on the stomach part of the clothes that she wore.

Ji Zixuan had always been sensible since he was young. Other children would cry at night, but he did not. He would only cry twice when he was hungry or when he peed, he would spend the rest of his time playing with himself.

It was even more so when he grew up. He was like a little man, taking care of his younger siblings.

How long had it been since Li Xu had seen Ji Zixuan cry? She was afraid that she could not remember.

Li Xu made some simple dishes for dinner.

There was complete silence at the dining table.

After dinner, Ji Zixuan placed the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen sink and returned to his room without saying a word to Li Xu.

Seeing this, Ji Zi’ang followed him back to his room.

Li Xu looked a little disappointed. She cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen.

Ji Yuanyuan sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

What should she do? She felt sorry for her mother and her brother at the same time.

She still hoped that her brother would come to his senses soon!

After Li Xu finished washing the dishes, she saw that Ji Yuanyuan was still sitting in the living room. She forced herself to liofthis mood and said gently, “Yuanyuan, come with me for a moment.”

Ji Yuanyuan jumped down from the sofa, took the initiative to hold Li Xu’s hand, and returned to her bedroom.

“Yuanyuan, do you like Uncle Zhang Kun very much?” Li Xu asked, “Do you really want Uncle Zhang Kun to be your father?”

Ji Yuan Yuan nodded his head vigorously, “Mommy, I like everything you like. Besides, Uncle Zhang Kun is really good. It should be great to be his daughter, right?”

Li Xu’s eyes turned red as she listened.

Speaking of which, among the three children, Ji Jianguo cared the least about Yuanyuan.

Ji Zixuan was the first child and also a son. In the beginning, he was naturally deeply loved by Ji Jianguo.

Although Ji Zi’ang was not as favored as Ji Zixuan, he was still a boy after all. When Ji Jianguo was happy, he would tease and hug him occasionally.

However, Yuanyuan was different!

Ji Jianguo and Xu Xiuhua were both people who valued sons over daughters. Although Yuanyuan was the youngest child in the Ji family, she was not favored at all in the Ji family because she was a girl.

Ever since she was born, the number of times Ji Jianguo had hugged her could be counted with one hand.

Yuanyuan should also yearn for a father to dote on her in her heart, right?

Li Xu did not say anything. She reached out her hand and hugged Ji Yuanyuan very gently.

Ji Yuanyuan put her hand on Li Xu’s back and gently stroked her back.

Early the next morning, Li Xu packed up the vegetables that she was going to sell today and gently opened the door.

However, just as she opened the door, she almost cried out in surprise. She had no choice but to cover her mouth with her hand.

Outside the door, Zhang Kun stood there with a silly smile on his face.

Li Xu hurriedly walked out and closed the door of the house. She lowered her voice and said, “Why are you here?”

Zhang Kun forced a smile and reached out to take the bamboo basket from Li Xu’s hand, “I don’t have anything to do in the morning. This place is also close to my working unit, it’s on the way.”

When he took it, his hand inevitably touched Li Xu’s hand.

It was the same in the past, but Li Xu didn’t have any reaction in her heart.

But this time, Li Xu’s face instantly turned red.
