<h4>Chapter 17 - 17: Not Minding, Nor Refusing</h4>
"Bang!"
Yan Zhirou forcefully mmed the door shut, the deafening sound causing the old apartment building to tremble slightly.
Just as the two little kids reached the staircasending, they saw Yan Xinxin being pushed out by someone inside, followed by the door shutting tightly.
Although Yan Chenxi was still young, he understood that his mother had been bullied. His small brows furrowed seriously, and he let go of little Chenxi''s hand. Fuming, he raised his little leg and kicked the door with force.
"You bad aunt! Come out!"
"Xi."
Yan Xinxin immediately stopped him.
She didn''t want her children to be affected by the tangled conflicts between adults.
Little Chenxi stood to the side, not understanding what was happening, but seeing her big brother so angry made her worried.
Yan Xinxin held onto Yan Chenxi and bent down to gently soothe him.
"Xi, do you not remember what Mommy told you before?"
"I''m sorry."
"I know you acted this way because you care about Mommy, but you mustn''t do it again next time."
Yan Xinxin let out a soft sigh, then nced at little Chenxi and smiled as she spoke.
"Hmm... Since we have little Chenxi with us tonight, how about we all stay at a hotel together?"
There was no other choice but to stay at a hotel.
Besides, she needed to quickly find another ce to live—this ce could no longer be her home...
——
With only one umbre, Yan Xinxin handed it to her son.
Yan Chenxi held the umbre, one hand holding little Chenxi''s tiny hand, following Yan Xinxin as she walked to the street corner to hail a cab.
The rain wasing down harder, but every passing taxi already had passengers.
Yan Xinxin''s entire body was quickly soaked by the rain. Her already thin clothes, now drenched and assaulted by the evening wind, left her feeling even colder.
Yan Chenxi frowned as he watched Yan Xinxin trying to g down a cab in the pouring rain. He desperately wanted to hand her the umbre, but he knew she would never ept it.
"Achoo!"
Yan Xinxin couldn''t hold back a sneeze. She turned to nce at the two kids, steeled her resolve, and decided to directly stop a car and plead with a kind-hearted stranger to take them to a hotel.
If they continued waiting in this cold and hunger, the two little ones might catch a cold.
Not far away, a ck sedan approached. Yan Xinxin bit her lip and stepped out to g it down.
The driver demonstrated exceptional skill as the car smoothly came to a stop. Yan Xinxin immediately ran to the driver''s side, drenched, and knocked on the car window.
After a few seconds, the window rolled down slowly. Yan Xinxin lowered her head, her rain-soaked face slightly leaning closer.
"Hello, would you mind..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Yan Xinxin frozepletely.
In the faint light, her gazended on a refined and handsome face. Wasn''t this the Crown Prince of Di Jue Financial Group, Mo Chuxi!
"Why are you here?"
Yan Xinxin asked in shock, her mouth falling open.
Mo Chuxi, with his deep, light brown eyes, looked at Yan Xinxin. Her small face was dripping with rainwater, droplets clinging to her dense, curledshes like sparkling ornaments. But seeing her disheveled state, Mo Chuxi''s attractive brows knit tightly.
"Get in the car."
He spoke, his tonemanding—as one might expect from the boss of a major financial empire, ustomed to giving orders.
Yan Xinxin didn''t mind, nor did she object.
Even if this were a thief''s car, she no longer had any choice left.
"Mo Chuxi, please wait a moment!"
Yan Xinxin said as she quickly ran back to the two kids, gesturing towards the car.
From inside the vehicle, Mo Chuxi clearly saw Yan Xinxin bringing the two children over. The boy, he recognized as her son, but there was also a little girl—whose features bore a striking resemnce to Yan Xinxin.
Mo Chuxi''s chest tightened suddenly.
So, she didn''t just have a son; she also had a daughter...
"Mo Chuxi, could youe down and help me for a moment?"
