72 Chapter 71, Give Uncle Zhang a Chance

Ji Zixuan lay on his desk, but he did not say a word. He looked a little down.

Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan sighed in her heart. He stepped forward and held Ji Zixuan’s hand coquettishly, “Big Brother, are you okay?”

Ji Zixuan raised his head to look at Ji Yuanyuan. After a long while, he pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “Okay.”

Ji Yuanyuan held one hand on each of them and looked at Li Xu and Zhang Kun, “Mom, stay with Uncle Zhang for a while. We’re going to Yang Jingyi’s house to play for a bit, we’ll be back soon.”

Hearing that, Li Xu quickly looked up at Zhang Kun before shifting her gaze to Ji Yuanyuan, “It’s getting late. Yang Jingyi is about to eat. You shouldn’t go over.”

Ji Yuanyuan blinked and insisted, “Then I’ll go over and take a look. If Yang Jingyi is eating, I’ll come back.”

After saying that, she did not wait for Li Xu to say anything else and directly dragged her two brothers out.

“Hey, come back...” Li Xu quickly stood up and wanted to stop them.

But in the next moment, her wrist was grabbed, “Wait a minute...”

Her entire body seemed to have been electrocuted as she shivered.

She turned around and saw that it was Zhang Kun. He stood up and grabbed her wrist.

Zhang Kun had grabbed Li Xu’s hand in a moment of desperation. When he regained his senses, he quickly released his grip and sat back down awkwardly, “Don’t leave yet. I have something to say to you.”

Ji Yuanyuan left the house and even closed the door considerately.

He brought Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang downstairs, but Ji Yuanyuan did not go to Yang Jingyi’s house. Instead, he brought the two of them to the rest area in the neighborhood.

Ji Zi’ang asked curiously, “Aren’t we going to Yang Jingyi’s house?”

Ji Yuanyuan looked at Ji Zi’ang sympathetically.

When would his EQ rise to the level of a normal person?

Ji Zi’ang looked at Ji Yuanyuan strangely, “Why are you looking at me with that expression?”

Ji Yuanyuan shook his head helplessly and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Ji Zixuan.

“Big Brother, don’t be unhappy.” Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and grabbed ji Zixuan’s hand, “Mom will always be our mom. She will definitely love us forever. It must be tough for her to take care of the three of us alone. If someone can help her, we should be happy, right?”

Ji Yuanyuan tried his best to make it sound more acceptable for Ji Zixuan.

Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang might not understand, but Ji Yuanyuan did.

Li Xu was tired not only physically, but also mentally.

There were some things that she did not even have someone to discuss with.

She was a woman. No matter how strong she was, there were some things that she could not do by herself.

Of course, she could ask Li Yong for help now.

It was just like when she bought a tricycle and a washing machine. That was because Li Yong was close and had a lot of time.

What about when Li Yong got married in the future? Li Xu could not disturb his life frequently anymore, right?

Perhaps it was because Ji Yuanyuan was an adult psychologically and did not rely on Li Xu that much.

Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan supported Li Xu to find another one.

Ji Zixuan was different. He was still young and had no sense of security to begin with.

Ji Zi’ang blinked his eyes from side to side, looking at this and that. He could not help but ask, “Big Brother, Yuanyuan, what are you two talking about? Why can’t I understand?”

However, neither Ji Zixuan nor Ji Yuanyuan pays him any attention.

After a long silence, Ji Zixuan looked up with red eyes, “I know that Mom has been through a lot. I’ve already grown up, I can help her, I...”

As he spoke, Ji Zixuan could not continue.

He himself knew that he was only eleven years old, and there were very, very few things he can help Li Xu with.

Ji Yuanyuan naturally knew that it would not be easy for Ji Zixuan to accept Zhang Kun so easily.

She could only take things slowly.

If Zhang Kun was sincere towards Li Xu, Ji Zixuan would have sensed it sooner or later.

“Big Brother, can we give Uncle Zhang a chance?”

...

Upstairs, Zhang Kun held a teacup in his hand and finally spoke, “Li Xu, I know why you rejected me.”

Li Xu lowered her head. Zhang Kun could not see her expression clearly, but he could see her eyelashes blinking.

“In the beginning, I was really conflicted. After thinking for many days, I finally had an answer in my heart.” After pausing for a while, Zhang Kun spoke again, “Did you know that Yuanyuan went to look for me?”

After Zhang Kun said this, Li Xu looked up in surprise, “What? When?”

However, as soon as she said this, she immediately reacted.

“It was a Saturday morning, wasn’t it?”

No wonder Li Yong and Yuan Yuan looked a little strange that morning,it was because of this.

“Yes, it was Saturday morning, Li Yong brought her to look for me.” Zhang Kun nodded.

Li Xu asked curiously, “Why did she look for you?”

She was just a child. Why would she think of looking for Zhang Kun? Moreover, she was working with Li Yong to carry her?

“She said that she is willing to be my daughter.” After Zhang Kun said that, he kept observing Li Xu’s expression.

When Li Xu heard Zhang Kun’s words, she seemed to be in disbelief. She asked again, “What did you say?”

...

“Yuanyuan said that she is willing to be my daughter.” Zhang Kun repeated it again.

Li Xu finally believed what she had heard.

But why did Yuanyuan say such things to Zhang Kun?

“I’ve thought about it for a long time. If you’re not willing to have another child and Yuanyuan is willing to be my daughter, it’s not a big deal.”

Zhang Kun’s next words made Li Xu completely understand.

Yuanyuan must have heard what she and Li Yong had said to say such words.

Li Xu’s eyes turned red when she thought of this.

Yuanyuan was only six years old. How could she know so much?

She was supposed to be carefree, but now..

Li Xu covered her chest and felt a dull pain in her chest.

“You should know that I had a daughter before.” Zhang Kun’s voice was a little choked up when he said this, “Sometimes when I see Yuanyuan, it’s like seeing Yanyan.”

...

Yanyan was the name of Zhang Kun’s biological daughter.

That was why he noticed Li Xu’s family in the beginning.

“Yuanyuan likes me, If you’re willing, I’ll treat Yuanyuan as my biological daughter.”

“Of course, I’m not asking you to declare your position right now. Free love is popular among young people, maybe the two of us can give it a try...”

“If you still feel that I’m not suitable, I won’t say anything else.”

...

Zhang Kun was the one who kept talking. Li Xu kept her head down and didn’t say anything.

Zhang Kun wasn’t a glib-tongued person to begin with. He had already tried his best to say these words.

His face was as red as a monkey’s butt.

Most people their age had never experienced the step of dating.

They meet on a blind date, go out for a few meals and buy something, just to be sure.

They get married within a few months of seeing each other, and then they start to get serious.
