Xi Xiangdong put Duoduo on his shoulders and carried him downstairs.
The little girl will move out of Xiyuan today and return to the apartment to live with them. Xi Changzhi and Fu Tingfang have a lot of reluctance in their eyes.
After Shen Ke got in the car, Xi Xiangdong put Duoduo down from his neck. The little girl hugged his neck and refused to let go. Shen Ke couldn't help but shake his head: "You dote on her too much, be careful she pesters you every day in the future."
Xi Xiangdong frowned disapprovingly, looking at Duoduo with a doting look on his face: "I just like her pestering me every day."
Duoduo immediately and obediently gave the uncle a smack on his face.
Shen Ke looked at the big one and the small one in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart.
As the car started to drive, Xi Xiangdong said, "Your legs are fine, so I'd better take you back first, and then I'll take the little girl out to play."
Duoduo is now pestering Xi Xiangdong more than her mother. Shen Ke is not worried about whether he, a grown man, can take care of his children. Instead, he is more worried about: "What did your dad say when he asked you to come up?"
Xi Xiangdong looked back at Duoduo, who was lying on the car window looking around, but said nothing.
Shen Ke guessed: "Did he ask you to take Duoduo back and recognize your ancestors?"
Xi Xiangdong separated one hand from the steering wheel and held hers: "Don't worry about this. If you marry me, your surname will still be Xi. It doesn't matter whether you recognize your ancestor or not."
"but……"
It’s late and there’s nothing left, even the children...
Xi Xiangdong glanced at her sideways, and after a long time he said, "I have everything, so feel free to take Duoduo with you."
At a red light, the car stopped at an intersection. Xi Xiangdong rolled up the window and habitually went to the center console to get a cigarette. He glanced at Shen Ke and Duoduo in the passenger seat, paused again, and held back.
He rubbed his brows with his free hands and looked out the window.
There was a white van parked alongside them in the lane next to them. The driver was also lighting up a cigarette and the window was wide open. The window of the passenger seat was just adjacent to the window of the east-facing seat. The woman sitting on it... was Mo Xiaoxiao. ?
Xi Xiangdong was startled severely.
Didn’t Director Zheng say that people are quarantined? Why are they still in Beijing?
The traffic light flashed and jumped from red to green, and the van beside me sped away immediately.
Shen could see that Xi Xiangdong didn't respond for a long time, and the cars behind him all honked their horns, so he asked: "Mr. Xi, what's wrong?"
It took him a while to come back to his senses, but he still looked a little uncomfortable: "It's okay, let's go."
The car started again and drove in the middle of the road, but Shen Ke felt that Xi Xiangdong seemed to have something on his mind.

Mo Xiaoxiao was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the man smoking in the driver's seat, a little unsure: "Is it really Mr. Xi who asked you to pick me up?"
The driver smoked a cigarette and threw the cigarette butt out of the car window: "Why are you lying to me? Mr. Xi has a house in the suburbs and he said he would place you there first."
Mo Xiaoxiao felt relieved. She just said that with the excuse of being in the bathroom that day, it was impossible for Xi Xiangdong to ignore her.
However, yesterday a group of tall men suddenly came and wanted to send her away from Beijing overnight. Although they were polite in words, their behavior was very tough and there was no room for doubt. No matter what Mo Xiaoxiao asked, they did not answer. They were mysterious. It reminded her of the Shuanggui she had heard about before.
But she was not a political figure, so she thought that Xi Xiangdong had deliberately found a group of people to scare her, hoping that she would retreat.
Fortunately, she delayed it all night due to ID issues. Sure enough, another group of people came this morning to rescue her from those mysterious men and said they would send her to see Mr. Xi.
