Chapter 21: Mommy Hasn't Gotten on the Car Yet

"Xiyue, what's wrong?" Jin Yu asked with great concern.

"Gong Xinyi...is my new boss...he, he, he's coming for a home visit!" Leng Xiyue was so anxious she was speaking incoherently, "There's no way to hide where I live, Wang Li will definitely tell him, but the child, I must hide the child!"

"Why hide the child?" Jin Yu thought for a moment, then realized, "I get it, your new boss might have taken a liking to you and wants to investigate your family situation, but you don't want him to know you have a child."

Leng Xiyue fell into deep silence. Whether Gong Xinyi fancied her or not, she didn't know. What she did know was that he was indeed investigating her!

If this man is investigating her, it's definitely not for anything good!

From what she had learned about Gong Xinyi in the past two days, she was sure that everything he did was in revenge for a night's grievance four years ago!

This man, he really holds a grudge!

"I must find a way to hide the child. Jin, can you help me?" Leng Xiyue discussed, "Gong Xinyi is coming here at eight tomorrow morning. Before eight, could you take the children somewhere else, just so Gong Xinyi won't see them."

"That doesn't sound right!" Jin Yu sighed, starting to persuade Leng Xiyue, "Xiyue, I'm not criticizing you, but this can't be hidden forever. You might hide it from him temporarily, but not for a lifetime. If this new boss truly likes you, he won't care whether you have children or not.

In my opinion, you should boldly introduce him to all six children. If he can accept the children, you should accept him. If he can't, then don't accept him. If you deliberately hide your situation and he finds out the truth one day, he definitely won't forgive you."

"Then let's just not let him find out." Leng Xiyue said, fully aware that at this moment, her and Jin Yu's thought processes were completely different, but that didn't affect their communication.

"Do you plan to hide it from him for a lifetime?" Jin Yu frowned, highly disapproving of Leng Xiyue's approach.

"Yes, for a lifetime!" Leng Xiyue resolved firmly, speaking with a serious expression, "Jin, have you forgotten what I told you over the phone? This man is too much trouble, and I don't believe his actions are because he fancies me. Anyway, for the safety of the children, I must hide them. If you're willing to help, I'll continue to stay at your place. If not, I'll take the children and leave tonight..."

"No, no, I'll help you," Jin Yu capitulated helplessly.

The next morning.

Leng Xiyue woke the children up early, but they were all reluctant.

"Mommy, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep more..." Da Ya rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Just four, so sleepy, don't wanna get up..." San Ya buried her head into the pillow.

"Not getting up!" Wu Ya turned over, pressing her body against the wall, far away from Leng Xiyue.

Si Ya, Liu Ya, and Er Ya couldn't even bother to speak, just gave Leng Xiyue a look and continued sleeping.

"Don't you want to eat meat?" Leng Xiyue put her hands on her hips, "If that's the case, Aunt Jin and I will go eat by ourselves."

"Is there meat?" Er Ya immediately sat up, her bright eyes wide open, "Where?"

"Where's the meat?" The others crawled over, each one cuter than the last.

"Here." Jin Yu suddenly appeared, her face full of excitement, "Today, Aunt Jin is going back to her parent's home, where there's lots of delicious meat, chicken meat, duck meat, beef, and even tasty crayfish. Who wants some?"

"I do!"

"Me, me..."

In no time, all six adorable little ones were coaxed into the car by Jin Yu.

As the car was about to leave, the eldest yelled out nervously, "Aunt Jin, wait for mommy, she hasn't gotten on the car yet."

"Mommy is cleaning up and will take a cab after she's done. Bye-bye, kisses," Leng Xiyue blew a string of flying kisses to her children.

Eight o'clock.

Gong Xinyi's car arrived on time in front of the small motel.

"She lives here?" Gong Xinyi's handsome brows furrowed slightly. The place was too cramped, too old.

Clearing her throat, Wang Li said in her sweetest voice, "She doesn't have her own house; this is a rental, right behind the motel, in an old house."

A family of seven without their own house? Gong Xinyi's brows tightened, wondering just how hard Leng Xiyue's life must be.
