Chapter 2086: The Children’s Future

Early the next morning, the children ran out and played in the courtyard. Xia Zhe appeared in front of them suddenly and the three children stared at him with wide open eyes.

Xia Fan found it hard to believe that his father, the person whom he had been missing day and night, was right in front of him. He rubbed his eyes forcefully to make sure that he was not seeing things and then started crying loudly. Xia Xing ran up to Xia Fan and covered his mouth as she said, “Papa is back, so why are you crying! Don’t make so much noise!”

“I’m just too happy! I’m not sad!” Xia Fan said as he sobbed.

Xia Zhe squatted down and pulled Xia Fan and Xia Xing into an embrace. “Are you happy to see Papa? Papa was very busy with work for a while, that’s why I couldn’t come back. I’m so sorry about that.”

“It’s alright! Mama said that Papa is doing something very heroic! Papa is a hero! So we don’t blame Papa!” Xia Xing said proudly.

Xia Zhe did not expect Xia Xing to say this. It was enough to make the 30-something man so touched that his eyes reddened. Xia Yue had only seen Xia Zhe a few times. When they were in Country M together, Xia Yue was still a little baby! He probably could not remember any of his experiences.

“Yue Yue, go over there too. That’s your papa,” Feng Hua said as she patted Xia Yue, who was hiding behind her.

“He looks exactly like Papa in the photo. Is he Papa?” Xia Yue asked as he blinked his big eyes and looked up at Feng Hua.

“Yes he is. Go and tell Papa what you’ve been up to recently. Don’t you have a lot of things to tell Papa?” Feng Hua said as she gently pushed Xia Yue towards Xia Zhe’s direction.

Xia Zhe squatted down and spread out his arms as he looked at Xia Yue expectantly. Xia Fan and Xia Xing also encouraged Xia Yue to go over. In the end, under everyone’s expectant gazes, Xia Yue slowly walked up to Xia Zhe. However, he did not say anything and only kissed Xia Zhe lightly on the cheek.

“Papa, I miss you so much,” Xia Yue whispered.

“I miss you too.” Xia Zhe hugged Xia Yue tightly. He accompanied the three children back into the room to play with building blocks. Xia Yue demonstrated amazing construction skills. He was able to use the building blocks to construct a playground and could also introduce every feature in a clear and proper manner.

“Yue Yue, who taught you all these things?” Xia Zhe asked curiously.

“Uncle taught me this. Uncle also bought me many building blocks and wooden houses! I like them very much!” Xia Yue said excitedly.

Initially, Xia Zhe had thought of sending Xia Fan and Xia Yue to the army to train for a few years, just like how Xia Mao had sent him and Xia Wen there in the past. However, he did not expect Xia Yue to have a talent for building construction.

Xia Fan definitely should join the army. This boy was very observant and his emotions were very stable, so he was a very suitable candidate to follow in Xia Zhe’s footsteps. However, Xia Zhe did not want to force Xia Fan to do anything. If Xia Fan wanted to do something else, Xia Zhe would allow it too.

He had not thought about Xia Xing’s future yet. He did not have that much expectations for a girl. He just wanted her to grow up healthy and happy and thrive in a blissful family environment.

Qiao Mei only woke up in the afternoon. This was the best sleep she had had since she returned from overseas. She would head to Xu Lan’s courtyard house with Xia Zhe in a while. This was the first time she was going there since she returned! She wondered what it looked like after the renovation.

“Should we bring the children?” Qiao Mei asked as she stood at the door, carrying the gifts.

“Let’s not bring them along for the time being. Let the children stay with Grandfather. I’m worried that we’ll be too busy later to take care of them,” Xia Zhe said.

“Alright, let’s go to visit Mother and Father now.” The two of them walked along the alley while holding hands and many families stuck their heads out to take a look.

Ever since Qiao Mei moved here, they rarely saw Xia Zhe with her. If not for the fact that Xu Lan and the others often went to Qiao Mei’s house to visit her, they would have thought that Xia Zhe had abandoned her!

Xu Lan’s house was only a 15 minutes’ walk from Qiao Mei’s house. Xu Lan’s house was not overly renovated. The structure looked similar to Qiao Mei’s house, but the interior decoration was completely different. Qiao Mei liked wooden furniture and a vintage style, while Xu Lan had always lived in a modern-style house and found it difficult to accept a house that felt old-fashioned.

Xu Lan had set aside three rooms for the three children in the front yard. Each room was decorated in a style similar to their current rooms. Deng Fan was the one who came up with this idea.
