"In that case, I'll help you take a bath first," Siwa interjected.
"You still have to take care of Xuanling! If you don't mind, let me help Xuande take a bath." Zhang Boxuan volunteered.
"But..." Siwa hesitated.
"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm, I just want to help."
"It's not that I don't trust you, but..." Siwa swallowed hard and replied guiltily, "We've only just met today, it's too much trouble for you."
"It's no trouble at all." He waved his hands and laughed heartily. "It's strange, but I liked Xuande the moment I saw him. Maybe it's fate! I'm destined to be with this kid."
"I like Uncle Zhang too!" Xuande shouted.
Now, Siwa couldn't say anything more.
"Alright! Please go ahead." She pointed towards Xuande's room on the second floor, which had its own bathroom. "I'll take Xuanling to prepare some snacks for you."
After Zhang Boxuan nodded, he carried Xuande into the room.
Ten minutes later, Siwa, still worried, sneaked into the room and hid by the door to peek at Zhang Boxuan helping Xuande take a bath, only to see the two of them having a great time.
"Does it feel good?" Zhang Boxuan held the showerhead and sprayed it on Xuande's back and stomach, making Xuande laugh happily.
After taking a bath, Xuande changed into clean clothes and sat on the sofa, letting Zhang Boxuan apply the medicine for him. He didn't cry or fuss at all, and Xuanling watched curiously from the side, even clapping and cheering for her brother!
Apart from the large lump on his forehead, the other injuries are minor, just slight scrapes and bleeding. However, it will probably take a while for the wounds to fully heal.
At that moment, the wall clock in the living room chimed; it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.
"Mr. Zhang, I think you have to go now," Siwa reminded him cautiously. "It's late, I'm sorry I can't keep you for dinner, Shan'er will be back soon."
After considering for a moment, Zhang Boxuan smiled and replied, "I'm sorry, I'd like to stay a little longer."
"What?" Siwa froze, then shook her head violently. "Do you want Shan'er to see you?"
She could absolutely imagine what Sun-ah would look like when she lost her temper.
"I have a responsibility and obligation to explain to Ms. Jin why Xuande was injured, and I also need to apologize to her."
Sigh... He really is a good man. Shan'er's judgment back then was definitely right!
"The problem is..." Siwa stammered, unable to tell the truth. "It won't work!"
"Are you afraid Miss Kim will be angry?" He didn't understand what he had done to offend Kim Sun-ah. "I really don't understand why she always looks at me with such disgust. I don't know what I did to offend her."
Taking the opportunity, Siwa probed further. "Have you met many times?"
"No," he shook his head. "Even counting this time, it's only three times."
"If Shan'er doesn't give you a friendly look later, just ignore her." Siwa felt relieved and decided to let them meet. She would observe the situation first before deciding what to do.
"But..." He fell silent, not revealing another, more personal reason to Siwa. "Avoidance isn't in my nature."
In fact, ever since he first saw Shan'er in the office, he couldn't stop wanting to meet her.
"She never gets angry with me, but with you here this time, it's hard to say."
"I really don't understand why she always keeps her distance from me whenever she sees me, like she wants to run away!" He flashed that captivating celebrity smile again. "Can you believe it? I've never met such an unapproachable woman besides her."
"I believe in your extraordinary charm." Otherwise, Shan'er wouldn't have chosen him back then, nor would she have used his sperm to have a child—
Although it was their first conversation, Siwa had already grown fond of Zhang Boxuan. The two children, needless to say, were even more enamored; Xuanling crawled all over him, and Xuande treated him like his real father, constantly calling him "Uncle Zhang" this and "Uncle Zhang" that.
Suddenly, the sound of the garage door starting to open came from inside.
A few minutes later, Shan'er dragged her tired body into the living room.
After a long day, she can only truly relax when she gets home, and only when she sees her family does she feel genuine happiness.
Today she wore a tight-fitting little dress that accentuated her alluring curves. The low-cut neckline revealed a large expanse of alluring, snow-white skin, and her long, lustrous hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her beauty exuded an air of nobility, as well as an irresistible charm and sexiness.
She's a mother now, why is she still dressing so revealingly? Doesn't she have any self-control?
Zhang Boxuan stared at her barely visible cleavage, thinking sourly. "If I get the chance, I'll have to keep her in check!"
He never imagined that he had no right to restrain her at all.
As Shan'er walked, she felt puzzled. Xuande usually stood at the door to greet her, so why wasn't he there today? Had he gone off to play somewhere?
She took off the pearl necklace from her neck, glanced at it, and her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Surprise, astonishment, and panic surged up all at once, and she almost broke the pearl necklace in her hand.
Tonight, this family has gained another "family member"—the children's father!
