Chapter 1185: Sensible Children
EndlessFantasy Translation "Su Li—he’s the lively one, always kicking off the blankets at night. You’ll need to keep an eye on him so he doesn’t catch a cold. And Su Le, she’s a little girl, so her nanny has to be a woman—and a gentle one at that. If anyone so much as raises their voice at her, she bursts into tears."
Perhaps it was simply what motherhood did to a woman. The moment she had to travel far, her heart became tethered to the home she was about to leave behind.
Now that the Lin family was in trouble and matters urgently needed her attention, Gu Zi had no choice but to return. And yet, the thought of leaving her three children behind—just for a little while—tugged mercilessly at her.
Seeing Gu Zi’s obvious reluctance, Chen Xi offered a smile and tried to reassure her.
"Gu Zi, just leave the kids with us," he said with boyish confidence. "I promise we’ll feed them well and fatten them up like little piglets. And your dog—your big, yellow dog—I’ll hire a professional to take care of him too."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sharp bark exploded from the doghouse. The large Tibetan mastiff—who clearly had no desire to be called a "big yellow dog"—let out a series of thunderous "Woof! Woof! Woof!" as if to say, How dare you?
The barking was so fierce and full of indignation that it startled Chen Xi half out of his skin. Without another word, he made a strategic retreat out of the courtyard. He decided it might be best to wait for the kids outside.
Not long after, the children arrived home from school, their backpacks bouncing as they ran through the gate, only to stop short at the sight of Chen Xi standing there with a strange expression on his face.
