“Yes, father.”
Young though, Chu Ci was from the imperial family, from his head to his toes was with that kind of nobility and gracefulness. Every movement of his showed the good education he received. The three little buns looked back at their own parents, after getting their permission, they followed Chu Yan to the backyard. Xiaohu who was standing behind Ling Jingxuan also went with them. Hiding away the tenderness just now, Chu Ci stood up and said to Ling Jingxuan blandly, “I’ll take them in. From now on, they come at eight forty-five in the morning and leave at six fifteen in the afternoon. I don’t like others wasting my time. I hope you can stick on punctuality.”
“No problem, but Mr. Chu, the kids used to take a nap at noon, I hope you can let them keep this habit, take two minutes to let them take a break every day, this is my jam and medicinal fish I raise my self, as the greeting gifts. I hope you can accept them. As for the payment, what is your requirement if I may ask?”
Nodding, Ling Jingxuan signaled Song Shuisheng to put the things on the counter beside. Taking a nap at noon would do a lot of good. If possible, he didn’t want the kids to drop the habit. Only reading was useless. Combining exertion and rest could yield twice the result with half the effort.
“Forget about the tuition. I am not a professional tutor. And I don’t lack of that little money. I like the three kids. So within my abilities, I will teach them with all my heart. As for your requirements, I agree.”
Glancing at those things on the counter, he was still indifferent. Even though he knew that the man in front of him had a close relationship with Shengrui, he did not intend to curry favor with him. Born in the imperial family, he had his dignity and pride.
“The tuition is a must. If Mr. Chu does not accept it, we will take the children back.”
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Who is Ling Jingxuan? Is he that kind of person who covets little advantages? Today if he owed Chu Ci, someday he’d have to pay back with bigger price. He was not that stupid to put Yan Shengrui in a dilemma.
Once again learning the other side’s sharpness, Chu Cu darkened his eyes and said to the others with a serious tone, “Excuse me, can you leave us alone? I got some words to talk to Childe Ling alone.”
The seemingly polite and gentle words were mixed with some kind of ordering feeling. That kind of unique nature for someone who had been in a high potion for so many years, even though he had already tried hard to hide it, it still got revealed without himself noticing. The Zhao&Han couple looked at Ling Jingxuan perplexedly, and left only after he nodded.
“What would you like to say, Mr. Chu?”
Casually finding a chair to sit down, Ling Jingxuan crossed his legs leisurely looking at him. He wouldn’t lay the cards on the table now, would he?
“You are smart, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Do you know Shengrui's real identity?”
Chu Ci sat down on the opposite side of him. The previous coldness disappeared without any trace, and his body was vaguely surrounded by a sharp breath instead. Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and put his lips together, “Why don’t you keep denying it? You should know that before Shengrui regains his memories, only by denying is could you keep you and your son safe, right? At least, you wouldn’t remind him of his sleeping memories and let him remember who he is ahead of time.”
Now that the other side had made it clear, Ling Jingxuan also stopped pretending. His words clearly told him that he not only knew who Yan Shengrui was, but also knew their background.
“I know you won't tell him, Ling Jingxuan, some things are not simple as you thought. People of imperial family are not someone you could watch stealthily. I don’t know why you got two five years old kids with Shengrui, but if I guess it right, before he lost his memories, he had no idea of the kids’ presence, right? So, instead of worrying about us, you should worry about yourself first. Shengrui is not a man who could play with.”
Chu Ci was also not a fuel-efficient lamp. Without Yan Shengrui there, he didn’t feel nervous or what at all. He stayed so calm facing Ling Jingxuan’s fierceness, and perfectly interpreted the unique courage of noble people. If Ling Jingxuan was only a common person, maybe he’d really get scared or what. Pity that he was not the original owner, or even someone of this era. In the twenty-first century, he was also a big figure that overrode a lot of people. How would ever get frightened by him?
“Words back to you, Chu Ci, we both know why you ended up here with the kid, and why you are willing to accept the kids. I have no interest in anything of your imperial family, and I have never wanted to become a member of you. Some things are predestined. Since you can’t escape from it, you can only face it. I hope you can teach the two kids about how to cope with everything of the imperial family and the court, but save those doctrines like ‘His Majesty asks me to die, and I can only obey the order to die.’ My kids should never work under anyone, even that noblest person!”
No longer concealing his strong aura that outmatched Chu Ci, Ling Jingxuan said with an firm tone, with sharpness reflected under that pair of phoenix thin and long eyes…and killing feeling that only Yan Shengrui could match with it…Chu Ci froze there, thought one couldn’t see any change from his appearance, in his heart already rose a big wave. What a horrible man! He changed his face instantly! And his momentum is no inferior to Shengrui or anyone from the imperial family! Who on earth is he? How could a common farmer own such boldness and courage? And how could those words come out of his mouth? Does he know His Majesty’s words are bigger than heaven? If someone holding bad intention heard this, he’d lose his head.
“Hehe... Since Mr. Chu is not willing to accept the tuition, then from now on I will regularly ask someone to send you things I make myself. As for the kids, sorry to trouble you then.”
While he was still stunned, Ling Jingxuan regained his previous indifference and stood up with a smile. Some things, you should stop at where it should. He believed that as smart as Chu Ci was, he should know what do to.
“Maybe people like you are suitable to that kind of place where people got swallowed without their bones spat out.”
Chu Ci’s voice was mixed with some kind of sobbing feeling, and a little pains, helplessness and grievance. Ling Jingxuan who was about to leave cast a glance at him and said, “No one is born to be suitable to anything. Everyone owns infinite potential. If you want achieve your goal and lives the way you want, you must make yourself strong, strong enough to change the environment around you.”
Speaking of which, Ling Jingxuan turned to leave. Only trying to adapt to the environment or reply on others could never make you become strong, let alone lead your own life. If Chu Ci couldn’t understand this point, he could never escape.
“Change the environment... Ling Jingxuan, If possible, I would like to see with my own eyes how you’d change the environment.
No one knew how long it had passed, Chu Ci’s cold voice sounded, with that super charming face having a little expectations and a little excitement, but more blankness and uncertainty. As a member of the imperial family, he knew more about the characteristics of the imperial family members than anyone else. He could confirm now that Ling Jingxuan’s appearance would definitely cause a great disturbance to the whole imperial family. The imperial family could never accept someone so wild and arrogant. If…if he could still survive in that kind of environment, then he…he’d believe what he said today, and would no longer keep escaping. As for how things would develop, he was kind of expecting it. He believed that Yan Shengrui wouldn’t let them wait for too long.
